Have you ever thought, I'm doing everything I know to do, what's wrong with me? What's it going to take to get God to move on my behalf? If you have, you're not alone. It's a question most Christians ask and yet remain frustrated with the answers they receive. Answers such as: pray a little longer and with more sincerity, spend more time fasting, read more chapters of the Bible. In other words, your performance is the problem.
The fact is, that couldn't be further from the truth. You've Already Got It is a book filled with the good news that God's response isn't based on the things you must do; it's based on what Jesus did. As you read you'll gain the knowledge to trust God. It's only the truth you know that will set you free

Описание: Little Red Warrior is the last remaining member of the Little Red Warrior First Nation. One day, he discovers a development company has begun construction on his ancestral lands. In a fit of rage, Little Red attacks one of the engineers and is arrested for assault and trespassing on his own lands. In jail he meets his court-appointed lawyer, Larry, who agrees to help Little Red get his lands back. Larry convinces his wife, Desdemona, to allow Little Red to move into their basement while they sort out Red's case. Desdemona and Red strike up an uneasy relationship. When Red notices that one of Desdemona's eyes is slightly lazy she becomes increasingly neurotic, convinced that Little Red is up to something. Despite herself Desdemona, who is not accustomed to being thrown off her game, is increasingly drawn to Red's apparently hypnotic Indigenous charisma. As sparks begin to fly between them Larry prepares to fight for Little Red's Land Rights. An unexpected intervention by a greater power occurs in the court case, and nothing will ever be the same.
Автор: La Motte Pru Название: A Perverse Romance: a Tourist Dance to Art and Satirical Provocation ISBN: 1984504959 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781984504951 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 31720.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: A Perverse Romance is a satirical tale of artist Hephzibah Brown, who is persuaded by Cedric, the Imp of Perversity, to follow him to the recently independent Ghana, following with the temptation that they will compose a tourist book for him to write and for her to illustrate. She does follow, but knowing his unreliability, she changes it to a book about tourists-one a pragmatist and the other an idealist. And more than this, her tourist will be a woman. The novel becomes an examination of real life being a form of transience. How I use satire: Satire is the uncomfortable life of being disturb but draws to our notice the human capacity of doubling our subjective thinking. This is a philosophical impact, which philosopher Thomas Nagel brought to my attention in mind and cosmos (materialism), "Subtracts from the physical world as its major object is everything mental-consciousness-meaning intention or purpose." It is the absence known but ignored too hard. Subjectivity becomes fictive but remains to challenge through satire.

How long will good people remain silent in the face of the religious bigotry that has captured our Christian faith in America? How long will we sit silently by while religious bigotry overshadows love, tolerance and grace?
How long before we finally stand up and say, "Enough is enough. This is not who we are"?
Reginald Scot, the author, boldly answers this question for himself in this book. He will no longer be silent and hopes that the book's stories will encourage you to join him and others in speaking out against religious bigotry and all its sanctimonious forms of evil.
A day does not go by that white political and religious leaders, somewhere, do not play to their support bases by demeaning others. They denounce court orders that grant equality and call on school boards and local, state and national governments to force their religious agendas, including funding their schools, on the rest of the nation, all under the umbrella of "religious freedom." Within their own churches, women are relegated to subservient roles, the LGBT community demonized, sexual assaults of women excused, other faiths damned, and demeaning jokes about blacks and other minorities laughed at.
