Book Description
One of the most asked questions growing up among friends and family, was the mystery of trying to know the meaning of life and how to fit into this world correctly. So many people want to know their purpose in life. The frustration of not understanding these valid questions can produce an overwhelming situation in our emotions. As I began to learn about Jesus and the Father God, through His Word, I was on my way to understanding myself. The first step was to be born-again. After salvation, I began to search the Word of God for answers. This allowed me to gain understanding of His plan for humanity as well as His plan my personal life. I was overwhelmed with His love for me and started to understand myself with such clarity that I decided to share some these truths with you. I believe you will be blessed with this study.Blessings!Dr. Kevin L. ZadaiFounder and President of Warrior Notes and Warrior Notes School of Ministry

Book Description
Soren Kierkegaard is one of the prophets of the contemporary age, a man whose acute observations on life in nineteenth-century Copenhagen might have been written yesterday, whose work anticipated fundamental developments in psychoanalysis, philosophy, theology and the critique of mass culture by over a century. John Caputo offers a compelling account of Kierkegaard as a thinker of particular relevance in our postmodern times, who set off a revolution that numbers Martin Heidegger and Karl Barth among its heirs. His conceptions of truth as a self-transforming 'deed' and his haunting account of the 'single individual' seemed to have been written with us especially in mind. Extracts include Kierkegaard's classic reading of the story of Abraham and Isaac, the jolting theory that truth is subjectivity and his ground-breaking analysis of the concept of anxiety.
