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.
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.

"Just let go " "That's what parents have been told to do when their
kids go to college. But in our speed-dial culture, with
BlackBerries and even Skype, parents and kids are now more than
ever in constant contact. Today's iConnected parents say they are
closer to their kids than their parents were to them--and this
generation of families prefers it that way. Parents are their
children's mentors, confidants, and friends--but is this good for
the kids? Are parents really letting go--and does that matter?
Dr. Barbara Hofer, a Middlebury College professor of psychology,
and Abigail Sullivan Moore, a journalist who has reported on
college and high school trends for the "New York Times, "answer
these questions and more in their groundbreaking, compelling
account of both the good and the bad of close communication in the
college years and beyond. An essential assessment of the state of
parent-child relationships in an age of instant communication, "The
iConnected Parent "goes beyond sounding the alarm about the ways
many young adults are failing to develop independence to describe
the healthy, mutually fulfilling relationships that can emerge when
families grow closer in our wired world.
Communicating an average of "thirteen times a week, "parents and
their college-age kids are having a hard time letting go. Hofer's
research and Moore's extensive reporting reveal how this trend is
shaping families, schools, and workplaces, and the challenge it
poses for students with mental health and learning issues. Until
recently, students handled college on their own, learning life's
lessons and growing up in the process. Now, many students turn to
their parents for instant answers to everyday questions. ""My
roommate's boyfriend is here all the time and I have no privacy
What should I do?" "Can you edit my paper tonight? It's due
tomorrow." "What setting should I use to wash my jeans?" "And Mom
and Dad are not just the Google and Wikipedia for overcoming daily
pitfalls; Hofer and Moore have discovered that some parents get
involved in unprecedented ways, phoning professors and classmates,
choosing their child's courses, and even crossing the lines set by
university honor codes with the academic help they provide. Hofer
and Moore offer practical advice, from the years before college
through the years after graduation, on how parents can stay
connected to their kids while giving them the space they need to
become independent adults.
Cell phones and laptops don't come with parenting instructions.
"The iConnected Parent "is an invaluable guide for any parent with
a child heading to or already on campus.
Christened "charming" and "winning" by the "Washington Post "and
"touching" by "Publishers Weekly, "celebrated author Monica
Holloway's deeply moving memoir shares the unforgettable story of
an extraordinary little boy and the irresistible puppy who
transformed his life.
The day Monica Holloway learns that her lovable, brilliant
three-year-old son has autism spectrum disorder, she takes him to
buy an aquarium. But what Wills really wants is a puppy, and from
the moment Cowboy Carol Lawrence, an overeager and affectionate
golden retriever, joins the family, Monica watches as her cautious
son steps a little farther into the world.
With his new "sister" Cowboy by his side, Wills finds the courage
to invite kids over for playdates, conquer his debilitating fear of
water, and finally sleep in his own bed with the puppy's paws
draped across his small chest. And when Cowboy turns out to need
her new family as much as they need her, they discover just how
much she has taught them about devotion, loyalty, and never giving
up.
Sometimes it's what you don't know to hope for that saves you. For
Monica and Wills, salvation came in the form of a puppy with pale
blond fur, chocolate brown eyes, a fondness for chewing the crotch
out of underpants, and a limitless capacity for love.
More than ever, Christians need to know what the Bible actually
teaches about parenting, and put it into practice.
Parents today seek answers from child experts, self-help books,
or equally confused friends. But even the experts portray
modern-day childbearing as a minefield strewn with psychological
dangers and emotional hazards.
"What the Bible Says About Parenting" is not a book on child
psychology, nor is it proposing a new parenting method. It is
simply presenting the principles of biblical parenting with as much
clarity as possible. John MacArthur, a leading expert on the Bible
and an experienced pastor, teacher, father, and grandfather goes
into depth on such vital biblical parenting subjects as these:
- Four helpful principles of communication
- Effective methods to discipline wisely and effectively, with
positive results
- Simple principles for identifying, changing, and developing
habits in your children
"I'm convinced that if Christian parents understand and apply
the simple principles Scripture sets forth, they can rise above the
trends of secular society and bring up their children in a way that
honors Christ, in any culture and under any circumstances." ―John
MacArthur
