Book Description
The Reformers viewed the gospel as not merely one thing among many in the life of a church but rather the means by which the church exists. When the gospel is rightly declared and applied to God’s people, the church becomes “a creature of the Word.” She understands, embraces, and lives out the reality of Christ’s birth, life, death, and resurrection in more than her doctrinal statement. The gospel impacts all the church is and does. Creature of the Word lays out this concept in full, first examining the rich, scripture-based beauty of a Jesus-centered church, then clearly providing practical steps toward forming a Jesus-centered church. Authors Matt Chandler, Eric Geiger, and Josh Patterson write what will become a center- ing discussion piece for those whose goal is to be part of a church that has its theology, culture, and practice completely saturated in the gospel.

Book Description
Life is your faithful servant, but if not subdued it can become a terrible master. It all depends on whether you're being a creature of creation, or if you are only reacting to creation. One creates an ideal desire, while the other perpetuates unwanted life events. This book will interpret the story of creation, which is the life changing truth for all.The beginning you read about was only a development and was not necessarily a commencement. It was the beginning of time and the creation of matter; but it wasn't the origin of life. What we call the Big bang was just a life changing event, from which mankind now seeks redemption. Creation is a replicable process, that is being performed by you in ways you're not even aware of. Inside these chapters, you will discover the answer to many of life's questions, including those of life itself. Some have the knowledge while others have the understanding; both are the forebearer of wisdom.The YouManual is a metaphysical arbiter, a non-fictional series of books to help you better understand your own Being. It is believed that if you can master yourself, you can create your own destiny. Why allow your future to be determined by fate, leave nothing to chance. You have everything you will ever need present inside you to create, because you too are a creator.The thoughts presented are reflective of the scriptures, not as physical actions but your own mental states; but remains aligned with its motivated purpose. To have knowledge of what is, what was and what will be; will allow you to better understand the visible world and the world that is not yet made visible. We can only comprehend within the limits of our thoughts, and discuss amidst what the adequacy of our language permits. But your ability to perceive doesn't determine all that is, and this will open your mind and excite your body. Knowledge is infinite, what you know to be true is only true to the extent of the knowledge that you have. What you now know may be right, but what you don't know about it could also make it wrong. What good is having knowledge if you lack the understanding of what it is, and what value is it to understand if you don't have the knowledge to know what it means. To have both is wisdom, and in that is the truth that will set you free.

Book Description
"A charming book, ringing with the joy of existence." --Richard Dawkins The perfect gift for a loved one or for yourself, For Small Creatures Such as We is part memoir, part guidebook, and part social history, a luminous celebration of Earth's marvels that require no faith in order to be believed. Sasha Sagan was raised by secular parents, the astronomer Carl Sagan and the writer and producer Ann Druyan. They taught her that the natural world and vast cosmos are full of profound beauty, and that science reveals truths more wondrous than any myth or fable. When Sagan herself became a mother, she began her own hunt for the natural phenomena behind our most treasured occasions--from births to deaths, holidays to weddings, anniversaries, and more--growing these roots into a new set of rituals for her young daughter that honor the joy and significance of each experience without relying on a religious framework. As Sagan shares these rituals, For Small Creatures Such as We becomes a moving tribute to a father, a newborn daughter, a marriage, and the natural world--a celebration of life itself, and the power of our families and beliefs to bring us together.

Book Description
It seems that the wish to benefit all, and to lavish indiscriminately upon the first comer one’s own gifts, was not a thing altogether commendable, or even free from reproach in the eyes of the many; seeing that the gratuitous waste of many prepared drugs on the incurably-diseased produces no result worth caring about, either in the way of gain to the recipient, or reputation to the would-be benefactor. Rather such an attempt becomes in many cases the occasion of a change for the worse. The hopelessly-diseased and now dying patient receives only a speedier end from the more active medicines; the fierce unreasonable temper is only made worse by the kindness of the lavished pearls, as the Gospel tells us. I think it best, therefore, in accordance with the Divine command, for any one to separate the valuable from the worthless when either have to be given away, and to avoid the pain which a generous giver must receive from one who treads upon his pearl,’ and insults him by his utter want of feeling for its beauty.
