  From New York Times bestselling author comes a must-read middle-grade novel for fans of The Vanderbeekers on the Road, The Firefly Summer, and To Night Owl From Dogfish. This big-hearted story follows a girl who might just be in for a life-changing summer. . . if she doesn’t run away first. 
  Gigi and her older sister, Yasmin, are spending the summer at a Jewish bungalow colony in upstate New York, thanks to their dad, who will be the handyman there. Sure, there will be day camp to go to, and the forest to explore, and maybe new friends to make. But Gigi doesn’t feel she fits in. Despite the fact that she’s Jewish too, she can’t help but feel that her Judaism is totally different from the other kids’. It doesn’t help that Mom isn’t around to talk to—she’s back in Brooklyn working. Yasmin has her own friends, and even though her dad speaks five languages, he and Gigi never seem to be speaking the same one. 
  There’s only one thing Gigi can do—escape. So, she hatches a plan to run away. But unexpected surprises keep drawing her back. Like, why do the boys at the camp keep doing flips? What kind of lake has fish with mustaches? Can Gigi sneakily use her dad’s tools to build a secret treehouse?  
  Try as she might, Gigi can’t figure out why everyone else loves this place so much. Will she eventually find her way back home, or will she—just maybe—discover something special hidden within the colony?

  Spirit-Filled Church Theology...

  Every tenant is thoroughly drenched in the New Testament church's teachings. Where necessary references were made to numerous Pentecostal denominations and Spirit-filled independent churches to establish the essence of the tenants for a Spirit-filled church. Furthermore, extensive research was done going back as far as possible to the early writings, dating from 300 A.D. that were available and their comment regarding the Apostolic Church Age in the first century. Many contemporary theologians from all denominations were also referenced to compare the various denominational understandings of certain tenets that are aligned with Spirit-filled denominations. 
  From research done, it is evident that the Holy Spirit began a new work amongst born-again believers. This new outpouring began in 1902 in a small town in Wales. Flowing from this outpouring, one of the first Spirit-filled denominations formed has grown into a worldwide church known as the Apostolic Church UK. From 1914, the Holy Spirit began moving all over the world and the establishment of Spirit-filled churches, also known as the Pentecostal denomination, and, more recently the establishment of the Independent Non-denominational Spirit-filled churches. Many of these denominations and books from seminary lecturers were obtained to consider the truths embedded in the tenants of the Spirit-filled doctrine. This book is, therefore, a compilation of more than one hundred years of ministry drawn together to set in order the tenets that must remain in every Spirit-filled church. 
  DOCTRINAL VALIDITY 
  Every aspect of this book, the tenants, the application of the teachings of Jesus Christ, and the commitment of the early church as recorded in the book of Acts is strictly adhered to. Everything regarding the contents of the book is and, must, be biblically based. 
  This book was first written in a shorter format and self-published.

  The book is intended for readers who are interested in exploring the Bible from a critical and skeptical perspective and who are willing to challenge their own beliefs and assumptions about religion and faith. 
  It examines various aspects of the Bible including its creation, contradictions and inconsistencies, and societal impact. The author discusses how religion promotes ignorance and superstition, and argues that a rational and scientific approach is necessary to truly understand the world around us. 
  THE BIBLE UNMASKED aims to critically examine the Bible and reveal its flaws. The author argues that the Bible is not divinely inspired but rather is a collection of myths, legends, and historical inaccuracies. The book is divided into several chapters, which focuses on a specific aspect of the Bible, such as the creation story, Ten Commandments, and life of Jesus Christ. The author uses historical, scientific, and philosophical arguments to undermine the Bible's claims and to offer alternative explanations for the events and characters described in the text.

  Redeeming Reason - A...

  Vern S. Poythress Explains the Laws of Human Reasoning and How to Apply Them in Light of the Gospel
  Humans use reasoning to understand and order the world around us. We apply this logic in a variety of contexts, from classifying simple objects to considering complex philosophies. But how should our identity as Christians—made in the image of God (Gen. 1:26–27) with minds renewed by the Holy Spirit (Rom. 12:1–2)—inform our reasoning?
  Vern S. Poythress explains how all human reasoning reflects God's nature. Providing a foundational understanding of God as the source of rationality, Poythress details the 3 fundamental laws of logic—identity, contradiction, and excluded middle—with a strong focus on analogical reasoning. This robust guide explains types of analogy, ethics applied to logic, the use of analogies in the doctrines of God, and more to give readers a renewed perspective on how to use reason as a follower of God.
  
  -  Thorough Study of Reasoning: Explores the 3 fundamental laws of logic along with various kinds of analogy, including syllogistic reasoning, formal deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, and scientific models
  -  From the Author of Logic: A God-Centered Approach to the Foundation of Western Thought: This book continues Poythress's look at reasoning, placing it under the lordship of Christ
  -  Great for Students, Pastors, and Christian Philosophers: Includes helpful visuals and appendices for learning and applying various systems of logic
