Religiøse aspekter ved seksualitet, køn og parforhold

We do not have a divorce problem in our society; we have a problem of people marrying for the wrong reasons and not understanding the meaning of love. This book shares what the author has learned from the Bible about love and marriage. It is the story of turning marriage failure into marital joy by doing marriage God's way. Frederick was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was raised as an only child in a culturally Christian extended family. He currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife, Janet Love. At the age of fifty-one, Jesus of Nazareth came into his life, freeing him from the chains of sin and the fear of death. Having failed twice at marriage, he turned to the Bible to learn how to succeed. So far it seems to have worked for twenty-seven years. Frederick has led a weekly men's Bible study for more than fifteen years and has written this book to share what he has learned along the narrow path from Jesus.

My childhood dream was to anchor the nightly news. As an eight-year-old little girl, using a hairbrush as my pretend mic, I would practice my scripts, standing in front of my bedroom mirror. Dreams come true, and in my twenties, I became a news anchor. Then, tragic news followed, and the love of my life was gone. In my grief, I ran into the arms of someone other than God. I was vulnerable and broken, and the devil knew just how to deceive me. But when I surrendered it all to God, He gave me beauty for ashes and answered a prayer I offered at just sixteen years old that changed my life. God wrote a new script for my life, and it was tagged with sensational headlines, better than I could have imagined. If that's you, don't believe the devil's lies, go after God with all your strength. He will turn the twisters and tornadoes of your life into bright, sunny days.

"This book is the first comprehensive study of images of rape in Italian painting at the dawn of the Renaissance. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, Pâeter Bokody examines depictions of sexual violence in religion, law, medicine, literature, politics, and history writing produced in kingdoms (Sicily and Naples) and city-republics (Florence, Siena, Lucca, Bologna, and Padua). While misogynistic endorsement characterized many of these visual discourses, some urban communities condemned rape in their propaganda against tyranny. Such representations of rape often link gender and aggression to war, abduction, sodomy, prostitution, pregnancy, and suicide. Bokody also traces how the new naturalism in painting, introduced by Giotto, increased verisimilitude, but also fostered imagery that coupled eroticism and violation. Exploring images and texts that have long been overlooked, Bokody's study provides new insights at the intersection of gender, policy, and visual culture, with evident relevance to our contemporary condition"--

This mandate from 2 Corinthians to all believers was revealed to the writer in a vision many years ago, and is portrayed in this book cover.

"Is this all there is to life?" Every stressed and overworked corporate leader has asked themself this question at least once. Most books written about faith in the corporate world focus on applying "faith principles" to become a better executive or leader ... but what about finding true faith and discovering personal purpose in the corporate world?"Saving the Corporate Animal, One Soul at a Time" follows C-Suite executive C. Marsh Bull who wholeheartedly lived and embraced life in that fast-paced, all-consuming business environment. Bull experienced first-hand the successes but also the seductive and destructive tendencies of the corporate lifestyle, which led him to pull his car off the road in anguish one fateful day in 1995 and ask God for help. Unfulfilled, distressed, and disconnected from family, friends, and his community, Bull looked to poetry to express his difficult and frustrating emotions.Bull shares with other corporate animals his painful, personal journey of finding faith, peace, and true joy. These poems, written in the moment of emotional impact, contain the realities of failure, and despair, the challenges of faith, and the eventual discovery of light, peace, and joy through a growing relationship with God. Through conversations and questions, Bull affirms that you do have a true purpose in life. You can live both a fulfilling, faith-based life, and thrive as a successful corporate being.

Pregnancy is a Christian, weekly devotional that goes beyond just describing the baby's physical development. It's a guide to begin the baby's spiritual journey from the moment of conception. It combines God's Word with the research in the field of Prenatal Memory, which has confirmed that some of the experiences the baby has in the womb are being engraved in the child's inner being. Pregnancy will help you enjoy all the stages of your baby's development and engrave in the child's inner self special memories of love and acceptance. You will be setting the foundation for the spiritual and social-emotional identity of your pre-born child for the rest of its life. Pregnancy guides the reader through the forty weeks of gestation. Each week features an entry written from the point of view of the baby in the womb, which highlights the humanity of the child in the earliest stages of pregnancy and will thus help women bond with their babies. This first entry, the one written from the baby's point of view, focuses on the baby's physical development in that week. This is followed by prayer guides for the baby's physical development, soul, and spirit. Pregnancy is written in a clear and easy reading style. Bible verses are beautifully used throughout each section. Pregnancy is full of a joy and excitement that expecting Christian and Non-Christian parents will surely love. You will also find support guides for when the baby was not initially wanted, the experience of an abortion and when you suffer the loss of a baby during pregnancy.
