'Ali, son of Abi Talib, Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin, is the only Companion of the Prophet who has remained to this day the object of fervent devotion of hundreds of millions of followers in the lands of Islam, especially in the East. Based on a detailed analysis of several categories of sources, this book demonstrates that Shi'ism is the religion of the Imam, of the Master of Wisdom, just like Christianity is that of Christ, and that 'Ali is the first Master and Imam par excellence. Shi'ism can therefore be defined, in its most specific religious aspects, as the absolute faith in 'Ali: the divine Man, the most perfect manifestation of God's attributes, simultaneously spiritual refuge, model and horizon.

"Flowing in God's Purpose" offers different perspectives concerning spiritual warfare. It was written with theology as its theme. It is intended to show areas of our lives where the enemy may not be discernible. In our humanity, it is normal to observe trials, tests, and annoyances from a physical or psychological realm; however, we miss the bigger picture when we take an improper perspective. God understands our initial reactions because he gave us emotions. Emotions do have a place in our lives and are often manifested at the outset of trial. "Flowing in God's Purpose" was not written to seek agreement; it was written to offer different perspectives.

This book explores some key biblical principles of the kingdom of God and relates them to some (very) basic math. It draws on geometry and divinity to come up with some innovative practical theorems that are sure to titillate your mind and spirit. Put your thinking hat on Once you are born again, you are expected to grow through: faithfulness, obedience, observing, and doing God's Word. I call it "FOOD for growth," "GrowthFOOD," or simply "GFOOD." Eat, and live The book teaches that everyone has a life cycle. We all have shelf lives, use-by dates, and best-before dates. Are you past your use-by date? Furthermore, this book unveils a secret hidden in 1 Corinthians 12:31. Having church on the basis of spiritual gifts is excellent, but God expects his children to put into practice the agape love in its unconditional sense-the same way God loves us: the more excellent way. Ever heard of the Pythagoras theorem? Unveiling the connection between the Triune God and the tripartite man (both 3 in 1), the book takes you through what I call the intricacies of divine geometry, some interesting mental and spiritual gymnastics. Every human being is a triangle, the equilateral triangle being the standard of all shapes. Moving from Pythagoras theorem to what I call masochagoras theorems, you are sure to find out what type of triangle you are The book also explores the meaning of numbers. Discover their significance in your life. Some masochagoras theorems to do with numbers are proposed. Enjoy the intricacies of divine algebra. True worship happens when the human equilateral triangle connects in agape love with the divine equilateral triangle. Let God's kingdom come in your life. Apply the proposed masochagoras theorems and enjoy life in the kingdom-forever

Our Hope is meant to be easily understood by anyone, Christian or non-Christian. It can be read cover to cover, used as a reference, or used as a group Bible study guide. Over 1,200 scripture verses from the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE(R) are included, so references can be read as part of the text without interrupting your reading to consult a Bible.

While the Kingdom of God is a mainstream Christian doctrine, very few lay people understand it. To the majority of people, the afterlife is a great mystery. However, the Bible clearly lays out what the hope is of those who enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ. He is the Messiah and will return as King to set up His Kingdom. He is also our Savior, and, 2,000 years ago, He died to cleanse us all from all sins. Our Hope explains how the Kingdom is the thread that ties all of the books of the Bible together.

Our Hope covers the importance of the covenants, how the conscience can interfere with your daily walk, how communion is to remind us of the Kingdom, and when and how we will be judged. It also discusses important concepts like salvation, judgment, outer darkness, and much more.

So many various doctrines revolve around salvation, mainly because the hope of the Kingdom is misunderstood. No matter where you stand doctrinally, this informative guide will help you understand the Gospel more clearly.
