How was the universe created, and why? What is the role of man on
Earth, and that of intelligent beings on other planets, in it? What
is life like on some other planets? Why is man here, what is
expected of him? These are some of the questions that this book
answers. The translator considers the materials in this book as
religion and philosophy of life for people who are searching for
the full truth and are willing to think for themselves and to
question commonly accepted beliefs. It tells how man should live so
that it would be good for everyone, and so that Christ's statement
about "Paradise on Earth" would indeed come true. The part dealing
with religion can be divided into two broad categories. The first
one explains, clarifies, and in a few cases supplements the
concepts which the Prophets of the past, such as Buddha, Christ,
Indra, Mohammed, Moses, Zoroaster, and others proclaimed. The
second part tells what the Prophets of the past could not tell back
then, because the humanity of that time would not have understood
them. Now that humanity's science is much further advanced. The
Almighty has decided o reveal the complete truth about the
universe. Here the latest scientific knowledge is brought in, and
hints are given beyond the current knowledge of science. This book
tells about and explains The Almighty's religion of the universe.
This in turn entails the reason for the creation of the universe,
how the universe is being created and governed, and, yes, the very
significant role which man of Earth is expected to play in this
process. Examples are given from intelligent life on other planets
and much is said about how man should live and what he should not
do. There are stories that help to illustrate the points. The
Almighty's religion differs dramatically from all other religions
currently practiced on Earth. It recognizes and acknowledges all
other religions, it does not require an individual to join it. It
does not threaten or condemn the "nonbelievers," it permits, it
insists in each individual choosing freely for himself or herself.
It merely provides some truly thought provoking materials to
ponder.

Many grandparents experience a surge of joy with the birth or
adoption of a grandchild. For years afterward, time together is
eagerly coveted, pictures are treasured and displayed, and multiple
gifts along with various kinds of support are gladly provided.
Richard Olson, a retired minister, professor of theology, and
grandparent many times over, presents the unconditional love of a
grandparent as indicative of a vocation, a calling from God. He
explores the vocation of grandparent in all of its multiple
dimensions of being and doing. Informed by a biblical perspective,
the book explores the author's personal journey of grandparenting
and includes conversations with a diverse set of other
grandparents. Olson examines biblical examples of grandparenting
and suggests that the grandparent vocation has possibilities that
often go unnoticed. These include care, enjoyment, and response to
issues throughout a grandchild's growth. He also addresses concerns
for our grandchildren's future world, and how grandparents can
engage in mutual conversation about faith, morals, and values in a
changing world. In addition, Olson discusses increasingly common
relationship types such as grandparents serving as primary
caregivers, adults becoming step-grandparents through marriage,
interreligious family systems, and grandparents handling children
with special needs. The book includes questions for personal or
group reflection.
Are you trying your best to be a good parent but questioning if
your best is good enough? When it comes to parenting, it's not a
one-size-fits-all world. Just as each child is uniquely created, an
approach can be tailored that is a custom fit for each child. The
keys to forming that perfect fit are reliance on the Holy Spirit
and the Word.
Be assured that there is a spiritual battle being waged for the
lives of believers' children. Remaining oblivious to the war
practically ensures defeat. Children need us to be guardian
warriors who boldly take authority and do what is necessary to
avoid the snares, lures, and landmines that have been set for
them.
The war can be won without instilling fear. In fact, fear is one
of the enemy's favorite weapons, so fearful parents are playing
right into his hands. By discovering the basis for fear, it can be
rooted out and replaced by faith and peace.
Understand early childhood as a unique culture to improve the

Examine various elements of childhood culture: language, belief
economics, arts, and social structure to understand children's
dispositions of questioning, engagement, and cooperation.
