Sinopsis

"Enduring Moral Codes" explores the fascinating continuity of fundamental ethical principles across different cultures and time periods, revealing how core moral values have remained remarkably consistent from ancient Mesopotamia to modern society.Through meticulous historical research and cultural analysis, the book demonstrates how basic moral guidelines transcend cultural boundaries while adapting to evolving social contexts, suggesting these principles are intrinsic to human social organization rather than arbitrary cultural constructs. The book weaves together evidence from multiple disciplines, examining how early philosophical traditions, particularly Stoic teachings about duty and justice, parallel religious commandments found in major world religions.One of the most compelling insights is the discovery of similar moral principles across seemingly unrelated belief systems, from Buddhism to Christianity, indicating a universal foundation for human ethical behavior. The work particularly excels in demonstrating how ancient moral codes continue to influence contemporary ethical decision-making.Moving from historical foundations to modern applications, the book bridges theoretical understanding with practical implications, offering frameworks for addressing current ethical challenges in areas like bioethics and environmental conservation. Written in an accessible yet scholarly style, it provides both academic rigor and practical utility, making complex philosophical concepts understandable through clear exposition and relevant examples. This approach makes the book particularly valuable for readers seeking to understand both the historical development of moral systems and their application to contemporary ethical dilemmas.

The Gospel at Work - How Working...

Sebastian Traeger, Greg D. Gilbert

Find God’s vision for your job. 
Reclaim God’s vision for your life. 
Many Christians fall victim to one of two main problems when it comes to work: either they are idle in their work, or they have made an idol of it. Both of these mindsets are deadly misunderstandings of how God intends for us to think about our employment. 
In The Gospel at Work, Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert unpack the powerful ways in which the gospel can transform how we do what we do, releasing us from the cultural pressures of both an all-consuming devotion and a punch-in, punch-out mentality—in order to find the freedom of a work ethic rooted in serving Christ. 
You’ll find answers to some of the tough questions that Christians in the workplace often ask:What factors should matter most in choosing a job?What gospel principles should shape my thinking about how to treat my boss, my co-workers, and my employees?Is full-time Christian work more valuable than my job?Is it okay to be motivated by money?How do you prioritize—or balance—work, family and church responsibilities? 
Solidly grounded in the gospel, The Gospel at Work confronts both our idleness at work and our idolatry of work with a challenge of its own—to remember that whom we work for is infinitely more important than what we do.

Undestanding the realm of the...

SOLOMON HAILU Ph.D.

The realm of the Spirit is the Holy Spirit’s atmosphere where he operates freely and independently. The Holy Spirit is the reason for the existence of the realm of the Spirit. The realm of the Spirit cannot exist apart from the Holy Spirit. The realm of the Spirit cannot be brought into existence by any other means. One must encounter the Holy Spirit to access the realm of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit must dwell in us before the realm of the Spirit dwells in us. Therefore, we ought to pursue the Holy Spirit himself to experience the realm of the Spirit. A believer has to build a relationship with the Holy Spirit to access the realm of the Spirit. Being born-again is the first step to access the realm of the Spirit.
The realm of the Spirit is a supernatural realm which cannot be examined by our physical senses, human intellect, religious rituals and scientific studies. Science is looking for natural evidence to prove supernatural reality. However, such scientific attempts to understand and explain spiritual realities through natural observation is simply incongruous and totally insufficient. Science fails to recognize the fact that spiritual realities can only be understood by the Spirit of God. The book provides many Biblical examples of manifestations of the realm of the Spirit and how believers can walk in the realm of the Spirit.
Solomon, Hailu, Ph.D. is a full professor of Political Science at Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma, USA. Dr. Hailu has extensively published numerious books in international Politics and on the subjects of the anointing, the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Kingdom of God.

Sister of Darkness - The...

R. H. Stavis, Sarah Durand

The world’s only non-denominational exorcist—the subject of a forthcoming major motion picture—tells her astonishing true story: a riveting chronicle of wrestling entities from infected souls, showing how pain and trauma opens us to attachment from forces that drain our energy . . . and can even destroy our humanity.
As a secular exorcist, Rachel H. Stavis has cleansed thousands of tormented people, from small children and Hollywood moguls to stay-at-home moms and politicians. But for many years, the horror screenwriter and novelist denied her gift. As a little girl, she began to see ""monsters"" floating around her bedroom or attached to other children. Told it was only her imagination, Rachel learned to ignore the things she saw.
But a series of events in adulthood forced her to acknowledge her unique ability and embrace her power to heal. Since then, Rachel has dedicated her life to helping others cast off the forces feeding off of us. Performing her services pro-bono, she quietly worked in the shadows, until she unknowingly revealed her work to a journalist, who told her story to NPR.
A unique look at demonology removed from religious dogma, Sister of Darkness recounts Rachel’s journey to becoming an exorcist and chronicles some of her most extreme cleansings cases, including those that put her and her clients in peril. Going deep into her world, we meet the diverse range of people she has helped—young, old, famous and not—in gripping stories of danger and sometimes sadness, that are ultimately about redemption. Rachel teaches us that there are a diverse range of ""entities"" surrounding us—some of these are playful or misguided, while some are dangerous and harmful. She introduces each of them and explains their power, helping us understand what is attacking and hurting us, and what we can do to protect ourselves.
Frightening, eye-opening, and utterly enthralling, Sister of Darkness brings to light a world ruled by destruction, chaos and fear, and the woman who bravely fights to protect those who seeks her out.

Unforgotten - Reflections on...

Keith Ravenscroft

This book is an attempt to bring comfort to anyone who may feel lonely, abandoned, or simply living on the margins of life. People who may be suffering from a feeling of having been forgotten by society and even by God. I have written it in the form of a series of reflections that 
engage with such feelings and try to offer a healing response. The book began life as a series I wrote, and still write, for residents of local care homes, where people have been locked down and felt locked away from those they love and who love them.
 
More broadly this book also deals with issues that anyone may be forced to confront in their daily lives and links them to key moments in the Bible where we need to get support from each other and to experience the loving wisdom and commitment of God to every one of us. Each reflection focuses on a single issue and is composed of a Biblical passage (usually), a personal reflection, and finally a brief prayer of encouragement.
 
I have avoided complex Biblical analysis and obscure theology. Each chapter is complete in itself, so this is a book that can be dipped into as well as read in sequence. My hope is that what I have written may in some small way be of help and sustenance to people who need to know deep down that, whatever life may throw at them, they are always Unforgotten by the God who created and loves them. Because, as Isaiah reassures us, God ‘has written your name on the palm of his hands, from all eternity.’
