Sinopsis

In "Physico-theology," W. Derham presents an engaging synthesis of natural philosophy and theology, articulating the argument for divine design evident in the natural world. The book employs a didactic and accessible literary style, using clear prose paired with compelling examples from nature to demonstrate the harmony between science and faith during the early 18th century. Derham meticulously examines various aspects of the physical universe, including astronomy and biology, to illustrate the complexities of creation, ultimately elevating the discourse on the relationship between God and the cosmos within the burgeoning context of Enlightenment thought. W. Derham, an influential clergyman and scientist, was deeply interested in the interplay of faith and reason. His background in natural philosophy and his commitment to the Anglican Church heavily influenced his work in "Physico-theology." Living in a time when scientific exploration was paving new pathways for understanding the universe, Derham sought to reconcile traditional beliefs with emerging scientific knowledge, arguing compellingly for the existence and wisdom of God through the study of nature. For readers intrigued by the Enlightenment's impact on theology and the natural sciences, "Physico-theology" is an essential text that bridges these worlds. It appeals not only to scholars and theologians but also to any reader curious about the foundational ideas that shaped modern thought on the divine and the material universe.

    Jonathan Edwards, often referred to as America’s greatest theologian, lived from 1703-1758. He was wonderfully used by God in the American Great Awakening. This sermon is taken from Revelation 5:5-6, which pictures Jesus Christ as both a Lion and a Lamb.Using this dual imagery of the Lion and the Lamb, Edwards magnified Christ in his majestic person as both God and man. Things that could never be said of mere men can be said of Christ. Only Christ is infinitely high, yet able to stoop to the lowest of men. Only Christ is infinitely just, yet at the same time, infinitely gracious. Only Christ could show an exceeding spirit of obedience, while at the same time having supreme dominion over heaven and earth.For the Christian, this sermon is pure exaltation, pure enjoyment, and pure worship. After looking at the numerous “diverse excellencies” of Christ, Edwards ended with the gloriously blessed hope of the believer, to be together with the Triune God…forever.This audiobook is read from Edwards’ original text with only a few minor changes to make it more understandable to the listener.

    The fourth story in the Chosen to Serve series deals with a hotly disputed topic in the Christian faith – Unconditional Eternal Security, or Once Saved, Always Saved. As in so many things of Scripture, there is more than one-way things may be looked at. Differing views and understandings lead to different doctrines. What makes it interesting is that each viewpoint can refer to Scripture to support their view! 
     Jimmy is sent to minister to a Baptist pastor who holds to the doctrine, not to tell him he is wrong, but to share faith in Christ and a love for the Word of God. 
     The discussions between the two men become much more than just a doctrinal debate, as individuals, families and churches are ultimately involved. It’s a story of brotherly love and respect as the two men share their understandings and convictions. 
     All Believers are subject to being deceived, which is why the Apostle Paul repeated his warning – “Do not be deceived.” Our own biases and upbringing so often cause us to not see what is clearly stated in God’s Book. But if we are to hope to see clearly enough to help get the speck from our Brother’s eye, we must stay diligent to get the beam out of our own eye!

    Help children find their identity in Christ so that they have a positive and realistic view of themselves. Useful for any stage of parenting.  As kids grow up, they hear many conflicting messages about how they can define themselves. For example, they are told that they can define themselves by their achievements, popularity, sexuality, morality, or gender, or by how they feel.  This warm, realistic, and sympathetic book, written by father of three and founder of Faith in Kids, Ed Drew, provides much needed biblical help for parents on this topic. It shows parents how to encourage their kids to find their identity in the fact that they are made and loved by Jesus, and it explores the implications and applications of this truth.  Whether they are happy or anxious, whether they have messed up or achieved great things, children will gain a positive and realistic view of themselves, based on God’s amazing love for them, giving them confidence to live by faith in a secular world.  The foundational principles in this book mean it is ideal to read in advance of or during the early stages of parenting, but it is a useful resource at any stage of a child’s life.

    As young men, Kurt Ver Beek, an American sociologist, and Carlos Hernández, a Honduran schoolteacher, devoted their lives to helping the poor. But it wasn't until they moved to an extraordinarily dangerous neighborhood in Honduras that they came to a radical conclusion: The charity world was combating poverty incorrectly. 
     
     
     
    In gripping prose, journalist Ross Halperin chronicles how these two best friends became quasi vigilantes and charged into a series of life-and-death battles: first with the gang that terrorized their community, then with a notorious tycoon who commanded about a thousand-armed men, and finally with a police force whose corruption and brutality defied credulity. Their efforts made some of the most violent neighborhoods on earth safer and arguably improved the functioning of a national government, but in the process of pulling that off, they compromised their principles, precipitated collateral damage, and acquired their share of outraged critics. 
     
     
     
    A remarkable and dangerous feat of reportage, Bear Witness is a thrilling account of an unorthodox mission to establish justice in a place thought to be beyond the reach of the law.
