If we want to know the truth about God, we need a sound approach to incorporating what the whole Bible teaches. In this concise introduction to systematic theology, theologian Graham A. Cole explores how we move from Scripture to doctrine in order to shape what we believe, what we value, and how we live. He shows us the importance of having the right method: rooted in the word of God, consistent with church history, in the context of a broken world, dependent on divine wisdom, and ultimately aiming at pure worship.

If you are having a difficult time financially, there is hope yet for you. Many people don't understand that they are in fact creating this reality. It sways between the wants and needs to the things we all loathe and despise.

You better not breathe a word of this to anyone! The soldier stood at the pile of bodies. The room was filled with a sense of dread and fear. Not fear, maybe anger and revenge. When you see bodies stacked to the only way out, you understand it's a dog pile, of dog-face soldiers. "It's your way-out son", the voice came in my headset. It was my dads' voice!

Für die einen waren die Targaryens das Böse an sich, für die anderen waren sie große Herrscher - die Wahrheit findet sich in diesem Buch. Was für Tolkien-Fans das Silmarillion ist, erscheint nun von George R.R. Martin - die epische Vorgeschichte von Das Lied von Eis und Feuer/Game of Thrones!

George R. R. Martin's alternate-history story revolves around one of six "geeks" sent back to a critical point in history. Their mission is to prevent the Swedish fortress of Sveaborg from surrendering to the Russians in order to win the war - or "maybe [to] just save ourselves from the plagues and bombs and the poisoned winds".

In the Eye of the Wild begins with an account of the French anthropologist Nastassja Martin's near fatal run-in with a Kamchatka bear in the mountains of Siberia. Martin's professional interest is animism; she addresses philosophical questions about the relation of humankind to nature, and in her work she seeks to partake as fully as she can in the lives of the indigenous peoples she studies. Her violent encounter with the bear, however, brings her face-to-face with something entirely beyond her ken—the untamed, the nonhuman, the animal, the wild. 

DI Rachel Scholes has been in the force for nearly 20 years, and she is tired, not because of the job, but because of the running. She knows her head is crowded but has so far managed to make madness comprehensible. She is a proxy self-harmer struggling to come to terms with a dark secret from her past. As the current case she is working on pushes her closer to facing the dark truth, cracks begin to appear. Wanting to keep her marriage alive, a third identity surfaces that she has difficulty keeping under control. It wants more than her husband and could jeopardize everything.

These true events cannot be explained, and many of these events were witnessed by others who, for the most part, wish to remain anonymous. There are things that can be explained in the real modern world and accepted as fact, but there are some things that remain a mystery or for the most part are ignored as the human rationale for accepting or acknowledging the event that occurred would bend the very fabric of reality - which could leave one in dire straits!
