Volcanoes are capable of acts of pyrotechnical prowess verging on
magic: they spout black magma more fluid than water, create
shimmering cities of glass at the bottom of the ocean and frozen
lakes of lava on the moon and can even tip entire planets over.
Between lava that melts and re-forms the landscape, and noxious
volcanic gases that poison the atmosphere, volcanoes have
threatened life on Earth countless times in our planet's history.
Yet despite their reputation for destruction, volcanoes are
inseparable from the creation of our planet. A lively and utterly
fascinating guide to these geologic wonders, Super Volcanoes revels
in the incomparable power of volcanic eruptions past and present,
Earthbound and otherwise-and recounts the daring and sometimes
death-defying careers of the scientists who study them. Science
journalist and volcanologist Robin George Andrews explores how
these eruptions reveal secrets about the worlds to which they
belong, describing the stunning ways in which volcanoes can sculpt
the sea, land and sky, and even influence the machinery that makes
or breaks the existence of life. Walking us through the mechanics
of some of the most infamous eruptions on Earth, Andrews outlines
what we know about how volcanoes form, erupt and evolve, as well as
what scientists are still trying to puzzle out. How can we better
predict when a deadly eruption will occur-and protect communities
in the danger zone? Is Earth's system of plate tectonics, unique in
the solar system, the best way to forge a planet that supports
life? And if life can survive and even thrive in Earth's extreme
volcanic environments-superhot, super acidic and super saline
surroundings previously thought to be completely inhospitable-where
else in the universe might we find it? Traveling from Hawai'i,
Yellowstone, Tanzania and the ocean floor to the moon, Venus and
Mars, Andrews illuminates the cutting-edge discoveries and
lingering scientific mysteries surrounding these phenomenal forces
of nature.
This clear and concise text helps readers grasp the doctrines of
the Christian faith considered basic from the earliest days of
Christianity. Ronald Heine, an internationally known expert on
early Christian theology, developed this book from a course he
teaches that has been refined through many years of classroom
experience. Heine primarily uses the classical Christian doctrines
of the Nicene Creed to guide students into the essentials of the
faith.
This broadly ecumenical work will interest students of church
history or theology as well as adult Christian education classes in
church settings. Sidebars identify major personalities and
concepts, and each chapter concludes with discussion questions and
suggestions for further reading.
'It's impossible to visit Church on the Street and not be deeply
moved by the work the organisation does for those in need. It is an
extraordinary place ... 'HRH THE PRINCE OF WALES, from the Foreword
'There are so few people like Pastor Mick that this book deserves a
shelf all to itself.' JEREMY VINE, BROADCASTER AND JOURNALIST An
autobiography that is fast-paced, stirring and a powerful testament
to the love of God, Blown Away tells the story of Pastor Mick
Fleming. No conventional clergyman, Pastor Mick led a life of crime
and addiction before being called by God to become a Christian
minister. Brutally raped as a child, he was about to confide in his
parents when the dreadful news came that his sister had died of a
sudden heart-attack. Mick didn't cry again for 30 years, masking
his pain with drink and drugs and working as notorious underworld
fixer - until the day a revelation of faith unravelled his world,
and he found himself utterly 'blown away'. Here he relates his
incredible journey from hardened criminal to discovering who he
truly is in Christ; from helping to destroy lives through drug
dealing, to helping others and saving lives through selflessly
serving those in poverty. Laying bare his struggles in full for the
first time, including a failed attempt at suicide, Pastor Mick
tells how sharing his pain has helped others who are suffering.
Since that first call that set him on the road to becoming a
Christian minister he has seen miracles happen - including being
able not only to forgive, but to help, the man who ruined his life.
Blown Away is a thought-provoking and inspiring Christian
autobiography that offers insight into the violent underworld of
crime, addiction and substance abuse in the UK and reveals the
extraordinary power of faith, forgiveness and redemption. Pastor
Mick's story will move and inspire you on your own faith journey,
and offer hope to those struggling with addiction, grief and
suffering. Told with raw honesty and full of warmth and humanity,
Blown Away is an amazing example of how God can help those even in
the darkest places.

Teens' Guide to Identity from FamilyLife All teens wrestle with the
question "Who am I?" and wonder, What makes me special? Though

questions? Where do young men and women find their significance,
worth, and value? True Identity is perfect for parents and youth

them in their journey. Drawing on experiences and wisdom from a
wide array of experts, the book provides compassionate answers to

The doctrine of creation has often been neglected in Christian
theology. Distinguished evangelical theologian Jonathan Wilson
exposes what has been missing in current theological discourse and
offers an original, constructive work on this doctrine.
The book unites creation and redemption, showing the significance
of God's work of creation for understanding the good news of
redemption in Jesus Christ. Wilson develops a trinitarian account
of the life of the world and sets forth how to live wisely,
hopefully, peaceably, joyfully, and generously in that world. He
also shows how a mature doctrine of creation can help the church
think practically about contemporary issues, including creation
care, sexuality, technology, food and water, and more.
This A-Z reference work provides the first comprehensive reference
guide to the wide range of historical writing with which women have
been involved, particularly since the Renaissance. The Companion
covers biographical writing, travelogue and historical fictions,
broadening the concept of history to include the forms of writing
with which women have historically engaged. The focus is on women
writing in English internationally, but historical and
historiographical traditions from beyond the English-speaking world
are also examined. Brief biographies of individual writers are
included.
The end of the Second World War led to the United States’
emergence as a global superpower. For war-ravaged Western Europe it
marked the beginning of decades of unprecedented cooperation and
prosperity that one historian has labeled “the long peace.” Yet
half a world away, in China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea and
Malaya—the fighting never really stopped, as these regions sought
to completely sever the yoke of imperialism and colonialism with
all-too-violent consequences. East and Southeast Asia quickly
became the most turbulent regions of the globe. Within weeks of the
famous surrender ceremony aboard the U.S.S. Missouri, civil war,
communal clashes and insurgency engulfed the continent, from
Southeast Asia to the Soviet border. By early 1947, full-scale wars
were raging in China, Indonesia and Vietnam, with growing guerrilla
conflicts in Korea and Malaya. Within a decade after the Japanese
surrender, almost all of the countries of South, East and Southeast
Asia that had formerly been conquests of the Japanese or colonies
of the European powers experienced wars and upheavals that resulted
in the deaths of at least 2.5 million combatants and millions of
civilians. With A Continent Erupts, acclaimed military historian
Ronald H. Spector draws on letters, diaries and international
archives to provide, for the first time, a comprehensive military
history and analysis of these little-known but decisive events. Far
from being simply offshoots of the Cold War, as they have often
been portrayed, these shockingly violent conflicts forever changed
the shape of Asia, and the world as we know it today.
Art is often viewed as being inherently spiritual. But what does it
mean to describe an experience of art or beauty as "spiritual"? Is
there a relationship between the spiritual experience a person has
in the presence of a work of art and the Holy Spirit of Christian
faith? Skilled theologian, musician, and educator Steven Guthrie
examines areas of overlap between spirituality, human creativity,
and the arts with the goal of sharpening and refining how we speak
and think about the Holy Spirit. By exploring various connections
between art and spirituality, he helps Christians better understand
the doctrine of the Holy Spirit and offers a clear, engaging
theology of the arts. The book includes a foreword by renowned
theologian and musician Jeremy Begbie.
