All The Way Up by Richard Bowen Pdf

My book is about my experiences growing up in an extremely broken and abusive home. My rebellious and destructive choices led me to being incarcerated for over ten years of my life in both state and federal prisons, years spent functioning as a severe drug addict, and being emotionally and spiritually disconnected from God and all who loved me. It is my story of love finding me and shining a light so bright that I could not deny the existence of our living God and His profound love and overwhelming mercy. It is my story of realizing that I have never been alone.

Freedom All The Way Up by Christian J. Barrigar Pdf

Freedom All The Way Up proposes four intertwined elements that make up the meaning of life—self-worth, purpose, identity, and hope. Materialism (atheism) claim the universe has no meaning, so there is no larger purposeful story into which we can place ourselves—we are left on our own to construct meaning for our lives. Barrigar argues, though, that the universe possess God’s meaning and purpose—to provide the space and conditions by which to bring about the existence of agape-capable beings in agape-loving relationships with God and with others. In effect, the universe is a great ‘freedom system’ designed by God with freedom built in ‘all the way up’, from the Big Bang to the emergence of big brains and free will. Barrigar describes the emergence of this system through his novel agape/probability account of God’s design for the universe, which integrates such disciplines as quantum physics, statistical mechanics, probability theory, evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, and game theory. This system sets up the conditions for a fundamental choice between autonomous freedom, which focuses principally on self, and agapic freedom, which focuses principally on God and on others. Materialism chooses autonomous freedom, but thereby introduces nihilism into each of the elements of meaning. In turns out that nihilism is a much greater problem for Materialism than suffering is for Theism. In contrast, agapic freedom infuses self-worth, purpose, identity, and hope with God’s agape-love, dispelling Materialism’s inherent nihilism. Freedom All The Way Up provides a dramatic new proposal for God and the meaning of life in our scientific and humanist age.

Upside Down Verses Right Side Up by Steven Allen Pdf

This is a book written out of an observation of the great need for God's full truth to be proclaimed as never before. The word of God (the Bible), His truth, is not matching the lifestyles of many proclaiming Christians today as we see the end draw near to that promised land. The Lord God has opened my mind up to so many pertinent issues of today: Not in judgment, but in need of checking our short accounts before the Lord God Almighty. God has a schedule, and though Satan does not know the hour or the day, just as we do not; he knows the seasons and is in full attack mode to deceive and destroy. As this world seems to be spinning out of control with everything it seems running at warp speed. God has never been out of control and never will be. We need like never before to fix our eyes on Him and His word of truth if we are to survive in the chaos of today. Record number of young adults are today leaving the church, and it's easy to see why when you look at all the hypocrisy that they are seeing in reference to God's truth. In how we are living our lives as if this world is our hope. And to all the compromise of today. It's important that we don't take observation as judgment, but that we examine our lives unto the full word of God. Not to just live in a form of legalism and rules, but living in the grace of God and living that grace out, not taking advantage of that grace. It should never be about judgment but encouragement to running the race as to win the prize. This is my motivation! "Complacency in living in half-truth is not truth at all."

Landing Right Side Up in Nehru's India by Jean Durgin Harlan Pdf

An enjoyable memoir of India. --Kirkus Reviews On India's Independence Day in 1962, an Ohio family of six landed dockside at the Bombay Harbor, stranded by holiday miscommunications. It was a fitting introduction to an upside down lifestyle ahead. A two day train journey to their temporary home in the Punjab confirmed the fascination and unpredictability of travel in India. A Fulbright grant bought them to Chandigarh, the ten-year-old Punjab capitol. Making a home and learning to adjust to India's complex ways were challenges. Culture shock hit often, and local schools stunned the children. Fortunately, neighbors were welcoming. Journeys by bus and train took them almost the length and breadth of India. Visits to the Taj Mahal, the Ganges at Benares, the Sikh Golden Temple, four major cities, a hill station, an ancient cave temple carved from rock, and a mud-hut village just skimmed the surface of all that is India. But they revealed awesome beauty and appalling poverty. Traveling abroad with an open mind and a spirit of adventure can be transformational for any of us. For the author, a single serendipitous photograph on a Punjab college wall recast the entire trajectory of her path toward a fulfilling lifetime.
