Book Description
A Holiday Hazing, Santa Clause Syndrome is a presentation of one of the most devastating psychological afflictions in the postmodern era, Santa Clause Syndrome. The book explores the history of and relationship between Passover and Christmas. If you don't think Santa Clause Syndrome exists, it's possible you have it. No one has dissected the results of the history of Passover and Christmas like this in two thousand years. Please read the first part of introduction and decide if you're ready for the rest. It is a unique exploration of history and psychology, complete with a laugh or two. Ethan Indigo believes this piece might best be described by others because of its provocative subject matter. Please share a review or your thoughts, feelings and perhaps your own experiences with Santa Clause Syndrome.

Why Study History?

Author: John Fea
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493442708
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 206

Book Description
What is the purpose of studying history? How do we reflect on contemporary life from a historical perspective, and can such reflection help us better understand ourselves, the world around us, and the God we worship and serve? Written by an accomplished historian, award-winning author, public evangelical spokesman, and respected teacher, this introductory textbook shows why Christians should study history, how faith is brought to bear on our understanding of the past, and how studying the past can help us more effectively love God and others. John Fea shows that deep historical thinking can relieve us of our narcissism; cultivate humility, hospitality, and love; and transform our lives more fully into the image of Jesus Christ. The first edition of this book has been used widely in Christian colleges across the country. The second edition provides an updated introduction to the study of history and the historian's vocation. The book has also been revised throughout and incorporates Fea's reflections on this topic from throughout the past 10 years.

Meet Hector: a bully whose dastardly antics spiral out of control when, after school one day, he decides to bully a homeless man in the local park. But as London's most famous statues and emblems go missing and its homeless communities are pointed to as the thieves, has Hector managed to pick on the leader of them all? And if so, what can he do in a world that won't believe a word he says? Written in lockdown when - for the first time in history - London's homeless community were gifted shelter, The Night Bus Hero explores themes of bullying and homelessness, and the potential everyone has to change for the good.
