Of all the New Testament writings Luke-Acts focuses particular attention on rich and poor, possessions and poverty. The Poor and Their Possessions is a new edition of a Cambridge doctoral dissertation that has long been out of print. The author’s exploration of Luke’s thinking is of special importance for Christian preachers, so much effort has gone into making it accessible and readable. Who are the poor? Why are they favored? Did Jesus have a program of social reform? Is renunciation of possessions demanded of all Christians? What guidance does Luke give on the use of possessions? Did the early church have a community of possessions? To whom was Luke’s material targeted? What was its purpose? These and other questions find their answers in the book. Besides its clear argument, this book is a treasure store of careful study of some difficult but important passages from Luke and Acts.

My conception towards life has been a fight since I was a child until now as an adult. Not born into money, or wealth as they say. I have tried to do a good job making a living for myself. Though I am an artist (painter), as you know, artists starve. I am a songwriter but that too in today''s age is very hard to accomplish. I have been a poetry writer since I was a child and I have been writing since the first grade. My dream is to have a gallery to teach art, songwriting, and poetry writing. I started a business called Chances of America. It is a non-profit for mental health. Please donate to Chances of America. We as United States citizens have to stick together with our family as well as our country. We, as humans, love our freedom.

A mystery and adventure story set far in the future on Earth, where the only people there have evolved from birds.

In this long short-story, ''Once When We Were Human'' the world has been divided into Dogs and Wolves. The powerless and the powerful. Unlike other dystopian tales of totalitarian governments imposed on society. The oppressive measures have been voted in by an apathetic mass excepting their fate and the destiny offered by their masters. ''Once When We Were Human'' is inspired by Animal Farm, Brave New World and 1984. Justin the main character is a dog unconcerned as this Brave New World takes shape around him. As long as the working day is short and he can play his video games he''s not bothered. If it wasn''t for the protests from his wife Karen and her ''artistic friends'' he''d gladly sip cocktails out in the back yard and give up all his rights. Heidi and Beauvoir are their academic neighbours who waste their time arguing about philosophical points while their best friend, Karl, a conceptual artist, keeps getting locked up for his absurdist performances. Karl is an antagonist to Justin. He has something Justin wants; fearlessness. Joe the Jew reminds us of a history we have forgotten and how the problems of the past can easily be committed again. ''Once When We Were Human'' also draws parallels with Nazi Germany and the Holocaust and looks at how a technically modern fascist society might use propaganda and education camps for citizens who protest and challenge the state. Through the eyes of conceptual artist Karl we are shown a world without creativity and how this can affect us. Through Justin''s eyes we are asked how much will we put up with before we are forced to act? ''Once When We Were Human'' looks at what it is that makes us human.

“David Stroh has produced an elegant and cogent guide to what works. Research with early learners is showing that children are natural systems thinkers. This book will help to resuscitate these intuitive capabilities and strengthen them in the fire of facing our toughest problems.”—Peter Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline Concrete guidance on how to incorporate systems thinking in problem solving, decision making, and strategic planning—for everyone! Donors, leaders of nonprofits, and public policy makers usually have the best of intentions to serve society and improve social conditions. But often their solutions fall far short of what they want to accomplish and what is truly needed. Moreover, the answers they propose and fund often produce the opposite of what they want over time. We end up with temporary shelters that increase homelessness, drug busts that increase drug-related crime, or food aid that increases starvation. How do these unintended consequences come about and how can we avoid them? By applying conventional thinking to complex social problems, we often perpetuate the very problems we try so hard to solve, but it is possible to think differently, and get different results. Systems Thinking for Social Change enables readers to contribute more effectively to society by helping them understand what systems thinking is and why it is so important in their work. It also gives concrete guidance on how to incorporate systems thinking in problem solving, decision making, and strategic planning without becoming a technical expert. Systems thinking leader David Stroh walks readers through techniques he has used to help people improve their efforts on complex problems like: ending homelessness improving public health strengthening education designing a system for early childhood development protecting child welfare developing rural economies facilitating the reentry of formerly incarcerated people into society resolving identity-based conflicts and more! The result is a highly readable, effective guide to understanding systems and using that knowledge to get the results you want.

Rediscovering God with Transcendental Argument provides a comparative philosophical study of the Pratyabhijña system of the medieval Kashmiri Śaiva thinkers Utpaladeva and Abhinavagupta. Beginning with intensive descriptive and prescriptive reflections on the nature of philosophy itself, the book examines the special characteristics of the Pratyabhijña discourse as both philosophical apologetics and spiritual exercise. Lawrence situates the Pratyabhijña speculation within the larger context of Hindu and Buddhist deliberations about the role of interpretation in experience, and gives a groundbreaking exposition of the epistemology and ontology of Shiva''s self-recognition. He observes the similarities and differences of the Pratyabhijña with Christian understandings of the divine logos, and argues that the Śaiva philosophy elucidates a cogent way of demonstrating the reality of God against contemporary relativism, deconstructionism and other forms of skepticism.

This is a book containing poetry writen straight from my heart about well...life,love,loss,hope,depression ,and so much more.It is my sincere hope the reader will enjoy it.

This is a pure fiction novel based on a very vivid and lucid dream that I experienced in early 2009. It was a dream (or perhaps nightmare vision) from my subconscious which envisaged a World War Four (IV) scenario in the first decade of the 22nd Century. In my dream I saw only three major powers. The Eastern Empire. The Western (Catholic Empire). And a third force called the Cartels grouped into a Northern and Southern faction. The entire planet Earth was the battleground. This Fourth World War started around AD 2030 after a thermonuclear and catastrophic Third World War from 2017 to 2023. All the 196 or so nations were wiped out and the world's population reduced from close to 7.5 Billion to only 600 million. The Western Empire was formed by survivors falling back on their religious faith, which I dreamt was primarily Catholicism. The rest of the world was non-Christian including the loose amalgamation of warlords called the Northern and Southern Cartel. The Western Catholic Empire was ruled by a self-styled Vice Cardinal. His Clergy were in revolt during the first decade of the 22nd Century. However, he was a secular as well as an ecclesiastical leader and the Army and the Imperium still supported his government. The Clergy leaders, Bishops and Prelates, had their own vast private armies or Militias. Civil War was about to commence at a time when the seven Western Armies still loyal to the Vice Cardinal were losing the Fourth World War all around the globe from Europe to Asia to the Pacific. This work of fiction took 5 years to write and is approximately 557,900 words in length. It is just one vision of one person from one dream as to one possible scenario for a world at the brink of annihilation amongst countless other visions and possibilities of the future to come. It is not a heart-warming vision but a harrowing tale of terror, fanaticism, pathogenic psychological madness and brutal conspiratorial plots to achieve factional and individual supreme power at any cost, regardless of the ultimate consequences for mankind and the already devastated and irradiated environment in a world where technology has regressed almost to a standstill and which has been polluted by a Nuclear Winter has predicted by Professor Paul Ehrlich of Stanford University.

After their exodus from Earth, the last humans settled a remote planet, Nova Prime. When an alien force known as the Skrel descended from the skies, our elite defense unit, the United Rangers Corps, valiantly resisted. Centuries passed without an attack, and many colonists believed that, with other security measures in place, the resources devoted to maintaining their military strength would be better spent elsewhere. Little did they know that trouble was coming to Nova Prime - and it had a taste for blood.

This book offers the first published translation of the contemplative manual Virūpāksapañcasikā, written circa the twelfth century CE, and the commentary on it, Vivrti by Vidyācakravartin. These late works from the Pratyabhijñā tradition of monistic and tantric Kashmiri Śaiva philosophy focus on means to deindividualize and disclose the primordial, divine essential natures of the human ego and body-sense. David Peter Lawrence situates these writings in their medieval, South Asian religious and intellectual contexts. He goes on to engage Pratyabhijñā philosophical psychology in dialogue with Western religious and psychoanalytic conceptions of identity and "narcissism," and also demonstrates the Śaiva tradition''s strong concern with ethics. The richly annotated translation and glossary illuminate the texts for all readers.

Peter David, a creative force in television, and a best-selling author of comics and novels, has created a fantasy world sure to delight his legions of readers. The Damned World is home to twelve races, each of which has fought the others for survival for generations. What none of them knows is that they are all creatures of Earth, a world of legend. On Earth eleven of the twelve races were creatures of human myth or folklore. All live in awe of the all-powerful Overseer, whose authority none dare challenge. A new spirit has arisen among those sick of war and tired of living in fear. Some believe that it is possible for the races to become allies instead of adversaries. With this new spirit has come a time of possibility, of change. Jepp, a human woman and Karsen, a Bottom Feeder, have broken with tradition and cast their lots together. They seek the Orb of Light, with which they believe they can gain the power and release the Damned World from its chains of violence and ignorance. But they’re not alone, for everyone who knows about the Orb would kill to get it. If someone gets the Orb, things will change. These are, as the proverb warns, interesting times.
