'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. With contributions by Orkhan Mir-Kasimov & Mathieu
Terrier Translated from French by Francisco Jose Luis & Anthony

"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.
