Book Description
A call to action to address people's psychological and social motives for a belief in God, rather than debate the existence of God With every argument for theism long since discredited, the result is that atheism has become little more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs. Thus, engaging in interminable debate with religious believers about the existence of God has become exactly the wrong way for nonbelievers to try to deal with misguided—and often dangerous—belief in a higher power. The key, author James Lindsay argues, is to stop that particular conversation. He demonstrates that whenever people say they believe in "God," they are really telling us that they have certain psychological and social needs that they do not know how to meet. Lindsay then provides more productive avenues of discussion and action. Once nonbelievers understand this simple point, and drop the very label of atheist, will they be able to change the way we all think about, talk about, and act upon the troublesome notion called "God."

Author: Lynn Fox Adams Publisher: Tate Publishing ISBN: 1607995921 Category : Dysautonomia Languages : en Pages : 232
Book Description
Does God really "need" anyone? Lynn Fox Adams answers that question with a resounding yes. As a sufferer of the often-misdiagnosed and misunderstood disease dysautonomia, Lynn has spent her life mostly bedridden and homebound. Yet this has not stopped her from sharing and spreading the message of Jesus Christ throughout the world. "God Needs Me: Living with Dysautonomia" is Lynn's personal story of hope, encouragement, and affirmation that yes, God truly can use "anyone" in his kingdom. Sufferers of dysautonomia or other chronic conditions, as well as friends and family members of those who suffer, will cherish this first-of-its-kind book and find hope, encouragement, and even solutions therein as they discover that a disease, no matter how debilitating, does not have to control one's spiritual existence.

Book Description
Rebuilding the relationship with God is easy according to scripture by repenting and committing yourself to follow the Lord. When you believe you have become able to stand on your own without needing God in your life, your return will hold guilt. It will also be a beautiful reunion where each new thing you learn leaves a desire for more. This book tells of some of the steps and how they relate to an ordinary home-remodeling project. Each step results in a beautiful change that creates a larger desire to do more. Eventually, God's glory becomes so great that you overflow and begin to reach out to share with others. Nothing is as wonderful as placing your hand on someone in prayer.

Book Description
We are experiencing a dramatic social upheaval in today's world, a breakdown of our living conditions and values. Political boundaries become less important, social structures seem to disintegrate-all is subordinated to cash flow and profit maximization. With growing individualism, the concept of the good and proper life has been lost. This does not produce living conditions that facilitate belief in God, contact with God, as one perhaps had during childhood. The longing for old values such as faith and deeper spiritual meaning has consequently been reawakened.
