Tilskyndet af sin forargelse over selv kyndige journalisters og tvreporteres gentagne bevidstløse snak om "det muslimske tørklæde", som om tørklæder først var opfundet i 1700tallet, og som om der ikke var i titusindvis af utilslørede muslimske kvinder i verden, satte Benny Andersen sig ned og skrev denne bog, hvor han ønsker at nuancere og korrigere en række af de ting, der skrives om muslimer og Islam. Også de evindelige generaliseringer, hhv. "kristne" og "muslimer" tager han fat i.

In the spring of 2020, Christians in North Carolina began to pray for a spiritual awakening. It began in Marble, NC, with a 95-year-old preacher named Fred Lunsford, who felt God extended his days to pray for America. He traveled two miles daily to pray in his wife’s prayer garden at the bottom of Lighthouse Mountain. His faithful praying proves “the earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results” (James 5:16). What has happened since is nothing short of a miracle.

The identity and self-description of God and Christ in the Bible sentences, beginning with the words "I Am"....

Können Christen nach Erleuchtung streben? Ja! Da wir heute viel mehr wissen, als noch vor 50 Jahren, braucht niemand mehr den christlichen Glauben zu verlassen, um nach Befreiung seines Geistes zu streben. Die geheimen Lehren Jesu sind in der Gestalt des Thomasevangeliums nach 2000 Jahren zum ersten Mal für jeden Interessierten verfügbar. Dieses Evangelium wurde 1945 in in einer Höhle in der Nähe des Dorfes Nag Hamadi entdeckt.

The beginning of the modern contraceptive era began in 1882, when Dr. Aletta Jacobs opened the first birth control clinic in Amsterdam. The founding of this facility, and the clinical provision of contraception that it enabled, marked the moment when physicians started to take the prevention of pregnancy seriously as a medical concern. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Donna Drucker traces the history of modern contraception, outlining the development, manufacturing, and use of contraceptive methods from the opening of Dr. Jacobs' clinic to the present.

La teología es un terreno demoníaco. Lo que Thomas Mann señaló sobre la música en su gran discurso en Washington de 1945 sobre "Alemania y los alemanes" no deja de aplicarse para hablar de cuestiones divinas y de cosas de este y otro mundo. También su observación en el mismo discurso de que la música es "el arte más remoto de la realidad y al mismo tiempo el más apasionado" se puede trasladar sin cambios relevantes a la naturaleza de muchas enseñanzas teológicas.

The writings of John have a very special focus on God the Father. Many people who know Jesus, or claim to know him, have a limited or nonexistent personal knowledge of God the Father. It is, of course, essential for us to know Jesus, but his fervent desire is that we may also know the Father so intimately that we can ask him for whatsoever we will in Jesus’ name and our prayers may be granted.

What was it like to be a woman in the biblical period? It depended, in part, on who you were: a queen, a judge, a primary wife, a secondary wife, a widow, a slave, or some other kind of "ordinary woman". In Women in the Bible, Jaime Clark-Soles investigates how women are presented in Scripture, taking into account cultural views of both ancient societies as well as our own. Most of Christendom still excludes women from religious leadership, and many Christians invoke the Bible to circumscribe women's leadership in the public square and in the home as well.

While his autobiography and the countless testimonies written by his contemporaries are incredibly powerful, this volume contains an extra special treasure; Hudson Taylor’s personal Bible studies, notes, and thoughts. They are saturated with prayer and inspiration of the Holy Spirit, coming from the soul of a man entirely sold out to Jesus. In this, he covers an in-depth study of the Song of Solomon, Prosperity, Self-Sacrifice, our calling as Christians, and much more.

An entertaining, addictive listen that could literally change your entire worldview. If you subscribe to what The Captivated Audience: Hoaxes, Illusions and the Biblical Earth proposes, it will warrant you to forsake NASA and some of the scientific theories that we have been indoctrinated to believe as inherent truths. Only you can awaken from this Masonic-induced hypnosis that we have been under, and become aware that you have been an unconscious member of the "captivated audience."

This inspiring collection contains powerful narratives from women who swim, surf, kayak, study glaciers, advocate for water conservation, carry forward their ancestral fishing traditions, and more. Collected by the team at She Explores, a media company and community that celebrates women in the outdoors, these first-person stories explore themes of independence, strength, healing, and self-discovery in nature.

Many claim to have been drawn to Christian faith by charismatic prophecy or by the prophetic-eschatological themes in such popular works as the Last Days of the Late, Great Planet Earth. This recording examines in what sense and to what degree Scriptural prophecies have legitimate apologetic value, and how they can be used properly in the contemporary defense of the faith.

Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to How False Idols Are Praised and learn about Baal, God's view on false gods, and the worship of professional athletes and movie stars.

"Vejo hoje estar acontecendo uma crise humanitária com a vida humana colocada no limite. A vida humana passou a ser tratada com desprezo, tratada sem nenhum amor e sem nenhum valor. Há aqueles que comem lixo, que vivem sem nenhuma condição de dignidade. Dormir na calçada, morrer de frio, são situações que vemos no cotidiano de uma cidade como São Paulo, com aproximadamente 42.000 pessoas vivendo em situação de rua. A crise humanitária é evidenciada pela forma como toda essa situação acontece." Convidamos você a refletir junto com Padre Júlio Lancellotti o exercício do amor na sua plenitude.
