Human Image

When two prophets with superhuman powers arrive to warn of God's coming judgment, the world largely rejects their message and treats them as hostile extra-terrestrials who must be stopped at any cost. Posing as an ancient alien, Satan's hybrid-avatar the Beast kills them and urges humanity to take the mark of the Beast and evolve into gods to fight against the coming alien invasion led by Jesus.

Sacred or Secular: The Pro-Life Case for Grounding Human Value in the Image of God What makes a human being valuable? It is the question beneath every argument about abortion—and the one both sides too often rush past. In Sacred or Secular, Jacob Vazquez slows down to ask it directly, moving past surface-level talking points to the philosophical heart of the debate: not merely when human life begins, but why a human life should be counted as valuable at all. With scientific, philosophical, and theological rigor, Vazquez weighs the leading answers to that question—pro-choice, secular pro...

Confused by the overtly philosophical, wordy, and Biblically lacking treatises on the Trinity? Then this is for you. In The Image Of God by Samuel Garcia attempts to tackle one of the core doctrines of Christianity by paying attention to the ignored singular analogy of the Trinity in the Bible text itself: the trinity of man, and how it fits nicely with the traditional and current perception of the Trinity with little contradiction, yet confident in its assertion of the importance of rightly dividing the word of God and make solid statements about the Trinity that few dare make. The Trinity...

In Images of Absence, a threshold structure recurs throughout the book: windows, doors, stations, hallways, gravesites, bridges, sea edges, and city streets are repeatedly presented as sites of uncertain passage. The speakers often stand at the edge of movement and observe it as it varies from poem to poem. In “Promise,” the speaker imagines a departure from grief while pledging to sing the same song “next time around.” In “Destination,” arrival is mixed with preparation for what comes next. In “Resurrection,” the dead are granted a temporary right to return and search for ...
