From 1914 the Cruz family moved to Shanghai - it resonates with
today's conflicts and challenges of endless wars. And, it was truly
providential they had survived these many years As a historian in
his own right, is emerging as an author of alternative history.

of Israelites from Egypt into the Promise Land is being retold in
resemblance of this modern day narrative in The Eurasian
Gentile.

One of the foundational Christian beliefs is that God has
spoken. Most of the time in the Bible, God makes statements. At
other times, rather than making statements, God asks questions. And
God's questions provoke serious thought. Many people have questions
they would love to ask God. Many more have questions about God. But
the most important questions are the ones God is asking us. The God
Questions explores these and other questions God asked people in
the Bible:
- Where are you? - Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? -
Why are you so angry? - Where have you come, from and where are you
going? - Why are you so afraid? - Why do you call me "Lord, Lord,"
and do not do what I say? - Who do you say that I am? - When the
Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?
The questions God asked people of ancient times are the same
questions God is asking us today. Discover the questions God is
asking you, and in doing so, find out what God has in mind for your
life.
While the churches are emptying, other virtual religious places -
as the religious websites - seem to be filling up. The researcher
focusing on religion and internet or digital religion as an object
of study must seek answers to a number of questions. Is
computer-mediated religious communication a particular
communication process whose object is what we conventionally call
religion? Or is it a modern, independent form of religious
expressiveness that finds its new-born status in the web and its
particular language? To examine the questions above, and others,
the book collects more empirical data, claiming that the Internet
will have a specific or novel impact on how religious traditions
are interpreted. The blurring of previous boundaries
(offline/online, virtual/local, illegitimate/legitimate religion)
is another theme common to all the contributions in this volume.
This book is an autobiographical account of how a six-year-old girl
was diagnosed with terminal cancer and how her father coped with
the shock and trauma of it all. The illness, the death, and the
fathomless depths of anguish that followed are not sidestepped in
this volume, but are described as accurately as author Fred G.
Womack was capable of doing. As the great trial got underway,
Womack had a good idea of what he might expect of people in the
face of the challenges before them. But in all honesty, he did not
know what he might expect of God. Of course, he knew that God had
done some extraordinary things for people in the Bible who found
themselves in various predicaments. All the same, he had no
assurance that God would provide any comparable help to his
daughter and family in their painful plight. At this time, Fred
Womack's Christianity was much like that of a hypothesis that had
never been tested. Be that as it may, early in the illness it
became clear that the worst thing that had ever happened to his
family would be the occasion for spiritual revelations that would
amaze and enthrall himself and his ill daughter to the degree that
they would ameliorate the anguish being felt?and occasionally fully
compensate the emotional suffering that was so devastating. After
the daughter's death, God continued to bring to the father's
attention many inexplicable spiritual manifestations, all of which
correlated in some way with the spiritual happenings that took
place during his daughter's illness.
