Through the unique format of this text, David has given the
answers to nearly six hundred questions that have plagued many
regarding the book of Revelation. The product of his work is a book
that addresses these concerns and amplifies the need for one to
have a personal relationship with God. The following is just a
sample.
If Babylon was destroyed by the Persians, how can it be
destroyed again?
How important are truth and justice today?
But what is justice when it comes to God and us?
Just what does it mean to fear God?
Exactly who are the beast and false prophet?
When one thinks of heaven, what is the picture that comes to
mind?
How many people can heaven hold?
If over 2,000 years have passed without Christ's return, what
assurance is there that He will return?

The Western World is becoming atheist. In the space of three
generations churchgoing and religious belief have become alien to
millions. We are in the midst of one of humankind's great cultural
changes. How has this happened? Becoming Atheist explores how
people of the sixties' generation have come to live their lives as
if there is no God. It tells the life narratives of those from
Britain, Western Europe, the United States and Canada who came from
Christian, Jewish and other backgrounds to be without faith. Based
on interviews with 85 people born in 18 countries, Callum Brown
shows how gender, ethnicity and childhood shape how individuals
lose religion. This book moves from statistical and broad cultural
analysis to use frank, humorous and sometimes harrowing personal
testimony. Becoming Atheist exposes people's role in renegotiating
their own identities, and fashioning a secular and humanist culture
for the Western world.
Global theory represents an influential and popular means of
understanding contemporary social and political phenomena. Human
identity and social responsibilities are considered in a global
context and in the light of a global human condition. A global
perspective is assumed to be new and to supersede preceding social
theory. However, if contemporary global theory is influential, its
identity, assumptions and novelty are controversial. Global Theory
from Kant to Hardt and Negri scrutinises global theory by examining
how contemporary global theorists simultaneously draw upon and
critique preceding modern theories. It re-thinks contemporary
global ideas by relating them to the social thought of Kant, Hegel
and Marx, and in so doing highlights divergent ambiguous aspects of
contemporary global theories, as well as the continuing impact of
the ideas of Kant, Hegel and Marx.
Iain McLean reexamines the radical legacy of AdamSmith, arguing
that Smith was a radical egalitarian and that his work supported
all three of the slogans of the French Revolution: liberty,
equality, and fraternity. McLean suggests that Smith's The Theory
of Moral Sentiments , published in 1759, crystallized the radically
egalitarian philosophy of the Scottish Enlightenment. This book
brings Smith into full view, showing how much of modern economics
and political science is in Smith. The author locates Smith's
heritage firmly within the context of the Enlightenment, while
addressing the international links between American, French, and
Scottish histories of political thought.
This volume brings to life the nature of resilience and
adaptation to change by describing turning points, or critical
experiences, in the lives of people with disabilities. People with
cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or attention deficit disorder are
interviewed. They describe events and experiences that changed
their lives and pinpoint which factors helped or hindered their
adaptation. Interweaving these compelling stories with popular
thought and research evidence, the authors show how understanding
the resilience of people with disabilities may help all readers
create meaning in life and become resilient.
Rich in personal detail, yet strong in its presentation of
academic literature and other non-fiction works related to
resilience, this volume will appeal to a wide variety of readers,
from people who wonder about the meaning of life, to the parents of
children with disabilities and organizations that deliver services
to them, to students and professors in the fields of psychology,
education, social work and occupational therapy.
