Broken families, abortion, AIDS, internet pornography, sexual abuse scandals, homosexual marriage; our Church and our world are in the midst of a profound sexual crisis. Is there a way out? For such a time as this have we been given St. John Paul II s Theology of the Body. Based on the words of Jesus, St. John Paul II s famous reflections on the body and sex take us to the root of the modern crisis and chart the path to an authentic sexual liberation. Yet the saint's dense scholarship often intimidates the average person. In his previous book, Theology of the Body Explained, Christopher West offered a more detailed, six-hundred-page commentary on St. John Paul II s Theology of the Body. Here, he provides a short and popular summary of the saint s revolutionary teaching while answering big questions like: What is the meaning of life? Why did God create us male and female? Why is there evil in the world and how do we overcome it? How do we attain true happiness on earth? What kind of joys await us in heaven? How can we experience the love we long for in the depth of our hearts? The first edition of Theology of the Body for Beginners (2004) quickly became an international best-seller. This freshly revised and expanded edition is based on Dr. Michael Waldstein s much improved translation of St. John Paul II s catechesis. New for this edition: All quotations have been updated with the new translation. Key insights discovered through Dr. Waldstein s access to the St. John Paul II archives have been incorporated. The outline of the text has been substantially reorganized to reflect the newly discovered outline of St. John Paul II's original manuscript. St. John Paul II's hidden and previously untranslated addresses are summarized.

The story of Ethan Allen and the much-loved Green Mountain Boys of Vermont and their role in the American Revolution—the myth and the reality. A rare look at a corner of the Revolutionary War.In Those Turbulent Sons of Freedom, Wren overturns the myth of Ethan Allen as a legendary hero of the American Revolution and a patriotic son of Vermont and offers a different portrait of Allen and his Green Mountain Boys. They were ruffians who joined the rush for cheap land on the northern frontier of the colonies in the years before the American Revolution. Allen did not serve in the Continental Army but he raced Benedict Arnold for the famous seizure of Britain’s Fort Ticonderoga. Allen and Arnold loathed each other. General George Washington, leery of Allen, refused to give him troops. In a botched attempt to capture Montreal against specific orders of the commanding American general, Allen was captured in 1775 and shipped to England to be hanged. Freed in 1778, he spent the rest of his time negotiating with the British but failing to bring Vermont back under British rule. Based on original archival research, this is a groundbreaking account of an important and little-known front of the Revolutionary War, of George Washington (and his good sense), and of a major American myth. Those Turbulent Sons of Freedom is an important contribution to the history of the American Revolution.

This extraordinary book, 666 The Mark of America, Seat of the Beast exposes the stunning truth about America and its connection with 666, which the reader will learn, represents nothing more than MONEY. Not only does the book give a simple explanation of every chapter and verse of Revelation, but it also discloses the truth about America, human nature, and the reality of the world in which we live. But most important, it gives the solution to bringing peace and happiness to our world. It validates what each of us knows intrinsically: that ALL of us are created equal, and that ALL of us should be loved, valued, and respected equally. Will the earth's powers reassess the path of insatiable appetite that creates slavery, or will we move towards peace through compassion and global equity for all? "When we begin to see each other as ourselves and treat the world's children as our own - this world will be a far different, happier and more peaceful place to live. This was John's intent and purpose in writing the book of Revelation." -- Christopher

Why do we exist? Why is there something rather than nothing? Designed to Evolve examines the question of existence in light of modern science. From the birth of the universe 13.8 billion years ago, to the intricacy of the DNA molecule, nature is explored at the most fundamental level. Two possible explanations emerge. Are we the result of chance or designed for a purpose? There has never been a time when more information on origins has been available. Now we can probe this question and take a critical look at the nature of existence. In the end, the evidence for purpose prevails. Designed to Evolve presents the modern rational for a creator, compiled from the science of our day. Recent discoveries have exposed new lines of evidence for God. Modern versions of traditional arguments still hold true. Big bang cosmology, particle physics, natural history, and biology are analyzed in a vivid chronology of the universe, revealing the beauty of creation and making the sciences of origin comprehensible to the non-scientist. This digs deep into the specific evidence and is backed up by references from many scientific journals, books, and other publications. The opposing view is not neglected. A stroke of chance on infinite scales of time have been the mainstay of atheist ideology, including the many multiverse scenarios, unguided evolution, and the apparent disconnect between science and religion. The lines of reason often used in support of atheism are examined in detail. Yet, in the end, faith may be a required element of non-belief, given the amassing evidence. The implications of some quantum phenomena reveal the nature of God and hint at the existence of the soul. Biblical creation is shown to align closely with geology and the fossil record. Designed to Evolve presents a compelling depiction of creation that embraces modern science. Whether you believe, believe with doubts, consider yourself undecided, or are an atheist, this book will help you to have a fully informed view. Designed to Evolve provides clear, credible, and verifiable evidence that represents the most complete scientific assessment for the existence of God.

In a land filled with dragons and castles, two pancake-loving brothers dream of being knights. Because of Tommy's special needs, the king refuses to grant him knighthood. However, his older brother, Chris, will train Tommy as long as it takes to prove to the king that Tommy is capable. Through fire and ice, the brothers will face dragons, giants, and a mean fire queen, and together, they will discover what it truly means to be a knight.

Are we the result of chance or designed for a purpose? There has never been a time when more information on origins has been available. Now we can probe this question and take a critical look at the nature of existence.

Some arguments made against the Designed to Evolve principle are also examined.QUANTUM MECHANICS AS IT APPLIES TO THE QUESTION OF GOD. Some of the basic principles of quantum mechanics are explained in simple terms, so that the implications of this fundamental property of nature can be examined. This theory not only impacts our understanding of God, but of mind and soul as well.GEOLOGICAL HISTORY, THE FOSSIL RECORD, LIFE HISTORY, AND DNA. The history of the Earth is explored through the eyes of science. Many recent discoveries give us a detailed account of our planet's origin and development through time.OLD EARTH CREATIONISM.

A day by day comparison is made between Genesis one and the prominent views of scientists.BIBLICAL PREDICTIONS OF MODERN DISCOVERIES. The descriptions in Genesis make many predictions about the early Earth and its development over time. These predictions of modern scientific discovery are a testament to the relevancy of scripture in this age.THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION. The evidence for it, its limitations, and how it impacts the question of God.ORIGIN OF LIFE. The inner workings of life's smallest specification, the cell, is covered in detail. The genetic code of life gives us a strong indication to life's ultimate origin.ASTROBIOLOGY. What can the current status of searches for life outside our solar system tell us about life on our own planet?CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD. Not only does science give us a lot of evidence for the existence of God, it also hints at His character, attributes, and identity as well.Designed to Evolve presents a compelling depiction of creation that embraces modern science.
