Nature Bible

Carrying only basic camping equipment and a collection of the world's great spiritual writings, Belden C. Lane embarks on solitary spiritual treks through the Ozarks and across the American Southwest. For companions, he has only such teachers as Rumi, John of the Cross, Hildegard of Bingen, Dag Hammarskjöld, and Thomas Merton, and as he walks, he engages their writings with the natural wonders he encounters, demonstrating how being alone in the wild opens a rare view onto one's interior landscape, and how the saints' writings reveal the divine in nature.

Dr. Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world. In riveting detail, he analyzes the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and triumph that stabilize, inspire, and unite us culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah; the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham’s terrible adventure; and the epic of Moses and the Israelites.

When we’re kids, we’re bombarded by talk of magic. From children’s books, shows, movies, and games — to Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy — there’s no shortage of magical explanations for things. Our entire worldview is filled with magical explanations of things. Part of growing up, it seems, is leaving magic behind, and focusing instead on understanding how things work. That’s not to say that there is no place for wonder and admitting that we don’t know something. In fact those attitudes are a great way to start learning and improving. And these days, it ...

The Bible predicts that in the last days a charismatic leader will establish a global following in the name of peace. The Qur’an also predicts that a man will rise up to lead the nations, pledging to usher in an era of peace. The man in the Qur’an is called the Mahdi, or Islam’s savior. However, the man in the Bible is the Antichrist. Joel Richardson’s stunning research and analysis suggest that the Mahdi and the Antichrist are actually one and the same.

There’s unrivaled beauty in the off-grid life, and it can be viewed as a treasure, not just a survival plan. It’s the pathway to a better life – a life in which you can forget the rat race and replace it with fresh homegrown foods and an appreciation of what the world around you truly has to offer.

You decide whether to be an angel or a devil! Persuasion is the art of changing the attitude or behavior of others through an exchange of messages. Unlike other ways of persuasion, persuasion uses only words or body language to be able to put the interlocutor in a specific state of mind to which the persuader points: specifically in this case we speak of communicative persuasion. The word persuasion can sometimes have a negative tone, synonymous with manipulation, due in particular to the sometimes exaggerated and unethical use in advertising and propaganda. Thanks to this collection of 4 ...

Romans chapter 9 has become a dividing point between competing theologies for years. Calvinistic authors ground much of their interpretation of the Bible and understanding of God's nature and character from this particular chapter. Christians that are unaware of the theological traps they can fall into by blindly following Calvin's theological determinism can result in a distorted view of God's nature and character. The consequence of this is surely problematic when applying a predetermined view of God to the rest of the Bible that the Scriptures simply will not support. This has at times ...

A mule deer hunter never can know everything about hunting these animals because they live in over 18 states, Canada, and Mexico, and all types of terrains, including the mountains, the plains, and in deserts and creek bottoms. They’re hunted with bows, rifles, sniper rifles, and black-powder rifles. This audiobook tells how more than 30 mule-deer hunting disciples find and take mule deer at different times of the seasons.

Jesus said his coming in judgment would be "in the glory of the father" (Matthew 16:27-28). Just what did "in the glory of the Father" mean? Amazingly few commentators take careful note of this important statement, but, the full implications of what it means are staggering! It means that Jesus' coming in judgment was going to be a coming as the Father had come before. And make no mistake, the Father had come many times, but, He had never come bodily, visibly, literally. He had always manifested His sovereignty by utilizing one nation to destroy another nation. Thus, for Jesus to say he was ...

After more than 45 years of turkey-hunting experience with some of the best callers and hunters in the nation, author John E. Phillips developed The Turkey Hunter’s Bible to be a complete reference on how to find, call, take, clean, and prepare the wild turkey for the table. The author has taken several birds of each subspecies of wild turkey in the continental United States and Mexico. But more importantly, he’s hunted with some of the greatest turkey hunters who ever have lived.

How do we know who God is and what He wants from us? Many things are said about God, but what does God say about Himself? Does the Bible give us these answers? How should we approach the Bible in the first place? Why does God have different rules and consequences in the Old Testament than He does in the New Testament? What are the conditions for having a relationship with God throughout human history? Do they change? What are the conditions today? These and many more questions are answered in this book. God of Covenants covers a wide range of issues related to God, the Bible, and His people...

Though Christians affirm that the Old Testament bears witness to Christ, how the Old Testament writers did this is a matter of extensive debate. Furthermore, Christian biblical scholars also debate the degree to which contemporary interpreters of the Bible can follow the hermeneutics of the New Testament authors in using the Old Testament to point to the person and work of Jesus Christ. Five Views on Christ in the Old Testament is the first book to bring together in conversation the major views on how the Old Testament points to Christ.

Unveiled Horizon is not meant to be an academic work, for I am not an academic expert. It's not meant to provide answers to your questions. Rather, as I have said in messages for many years, my desire is not to answer your questions, but instead to question your answers. Here are some of my most relentless questions: What does an authentic, vulnerable, intimate, and unhindered relationship with God look like? What does it feel like to live an existence with no judgement, no guilt, no shame, no sin consciousness, no sin nature? What does it sound like to abide in the rest of the living Word?...

What if everything you've been told about your spiritual identity has been only half the story? For centuries, countless believers have lived with a diminished understanding of who they truly are—seeing themselves as merely forgiven sinners struggling toward heaven, rather than restored image-bearers designed to radiate divine light here and now. In The Broken Mirror, Jonathan Leger unveils a transformative truth that has been hiding in plain sight throughout Scripture: You were created as a mirror, designed to reflect God's very nature. Though sin shattered that reflection, Christ came ...

I have written eight tales alongside Benjamin. Brothers bear was the last edition adapted for his autism and level of understanding. We both provide illustrations. We’ve made a tale of monsters, inspired by the likes of Snow White and Cinderella. They live in the land of snow. I can see now, that there’s a connection to the things I describe in here. The tales originate from various folklore stories and have - over time - transformed into popular tales among others. I have told them to Benjamin as child and due to his hindrance, it is now comforting that I continue these tales. He has ...
