Kinders vra soms uitdagende vrae, soos: Wie het vir God geskep? Waar is die hemel? Hoekom laat God toe dat virusse oorneem? Kan God enigiets doen? Kan Hy dinosourusse weer laat lewe? As God alles weet, hoekom moet ek bid?

Dit is soms moeilik om te antwoord op eerlike soos dié. Bybelvrae en antwoorde vir kinders is ’n handige hulpmiddel vir saamlees of selflees. Dave Strehler, ’n gerespekteerde skrywer met jare lange ervaring in kinderbediening, gee toepaslike Bybelgebaseerde antwoorde op meer as 80 vrae wat kinders vra oor God, geloof en die Bybel.

Elke vraag bevat genoegsame Skrifverwysings, ʼn kort bespreking asook ʼn interessante veelkeuse-vraag wat kinders self kan antwoord. Twee woordraaisels is ingesluit wat kinders uitdaag om al die name van die boeke in die Ou en Nuwe Testament op te spoor. Daar is ook ’n afdeling met kort opsommings van elke boek van die Bybel, met sleutelverse uit die boek wat gememoriseer kan word.

A unique essay about Science and Metaphysics in which the author Alex Red Kenaton shifts the readers awareness by disclosing precious information. It is a stream of consciousness depicting many reflections and dialogues revealing a loose interior monologue connection characterised by some associative leaps in thought. This uncommon book is held together by the author's passion for science, spirituality and an unrelenting search for truth. Alex Red Kenaton is a multifaceted scholar working in different fields of study: Humanistic Social Sciences, Physical Natural Sciences, and Metaphysical Philosophical Sciences. These areas have allowed him to acquire a broad interdisciplinary understanding of human life. As a new author, he compares the latest scientific discoveries in physics to spiritual and religious texts, often finding commonalities. One of his deeps beliefs is that people have been searching for a way to understand if they have power in their lives for centuries. He thinks that this mastery exists, is real, and is located, not just metaphorically, in our hearts. Alex Red Kenaton inspires people to step into joy, to live fully and with life's presence, without fleeing or getting caught in protective bubbles. He trusts that by assuming responsibilities, it is possible to live all the aspects of life without separation, always knowing that the external reality reflects our consciousness and nothing more.

Hoe wonderlik dat God ons vertrou om Sy ligdraers te wees. Nog beter nuus, Hy maak ons gewillig en bekwaam om Sy ligdraers te wees.

As ons aan onsself die vraag sou vra: Hoe vervul ons die verwagting van God, om sy werk hier op aarde te doen? Alles gaan nie noodwendig oor ons woorde nie, maar die grootste kommunikasie is wat mense by ons sien, ons optrede elke dag.

In die boek probeer ek ’n paar punte uitlig waarop ons kan fokus om die verwagting wat God oor ons het, na te kom. Die groot beloning vir ons staan in Fillipense 2 v. 16 waar die Woord sê dat God trots gaan wees op ons omdat ons Sy ligdraers was.

Ons geloof is ’n offer in Sy diens.

In The Fight for Female: Reclaiming Our Divine Identity, New York Times bestselling author delivers an urgent, power-filled call to women to understand their enemy, to reclaim their value as females created on purpose, and take their place in the spiritual battleground.

The very idea of womanhood is being assailed on all fronts: sexualized by our culture, eliminated from language, and silenced by the church. For decades, both sexes have been systematically undermined and stripped of their strength. Male and female were originally created as a power union, but that turned into a power struggle. For years, women listened to the lie that to be powerful they needed to act like men. Now the tables have turned, with men acting like women.

This attack is more than cultural, it is spiritual. Revelation 12:17 portrays a dragon enraged with women who has declared war on our children. Our enemy, terrified of what--and whom--we were made to reflect, seeks to blur the lines, distorting the very idea of what it means for women to bear God's divine image.

We were made for this fight. It will require honest, intimate conversations to emerge with God-inspired answers equal to the challenges of our day. Our marriages, children, churches, communities, and futures depend on it. It's time to unite, confident in our divine identity, clear in our commission, and courageous in our calling, to confront the darkness with love and light. It's time to fight for female!

This volume, the first in a major new series which will provide authoritative texts of key non-canonical gospel writings, comprises a critical edition, with full translations, of all the extant manuscripts of the Gospel of Mary. In addition, an extended Introduction discusses the key issues involved in the interpretation of the text, as well as locating it in its proper historical context, while a Commentary explicates points of detail. The gospel has been important in many recent discussions of non-canonical gospels, of early Christian Gnosticism, and of discussions of the figure of Mary Magdalene. The present volume will provide a valuable resource for all future discussions of this important early Christian text.

Pastors and leaders of the classical church--such as Augustine, Calvin, Luther, and Wesley--interpreted the Bible theologically, believing Scripture as a whole witnessed to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Modern interpreters of the Bible questioned this premise. But in recent decades, a critical mass of theologians and biblical scholars has begun to reassert the priority of a theological reading of Scripture. The Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible enlists leading theologians to read and interpret Scripture for the twenty-first century, just as the church fathers, the Reformers, and other orthodox Christians did for their times and places. In the sixth volume in the series, Phillip Cary presents a theological exegesis of Jonah.

One of the first attempts ever to present in a systematic way a non-western semiotic system. This book looks at Japanese esoteric Buddhism and is based around original texts, informed by explicit and rigorous semiotic categories. It is a unique introduction to important aspects of the thought and rituals of the Japanese Shingon tradition. Semiotic concerns are deeply ingrained in the Buddhist intellectual and religious discourse, beginning with the idea that the world is not what it appears to be, which calls for a more accurate understanding of the self and reality. This in turn results in sustained discussions on the status of language and representations, and on the possibility and methods to know reality beyond delusion; such peculiar knowledge is explicitly defined as enlightenment. Thus, for Buddhism, semiotics is directly relevant to salvation; this is a key point that is often ignored even by Buddhologists. This book discusses in depth the main elements of Buddhist semiotics as based primarily on original Japanese pre-modern sources. It is a crucial publication in the fields of semiotics and religious studies.
