Two San Francisco Bay sailors, Travis and Carol, fall upon a
terrorist plot to destroy a major San Francisco Bay landmark by a
most ingenious method. They battle both the bad guys and the
authorities in their quest to stop this horrific event from taking
place. With their superb sailing skills and intimate knowledge of
their beloved San Francisco Bay, they have the advantage as they
duel the bad guys from Sausalito to Alcatraz to San Pablo Bay. As
they race for their lives to escape their pursuers, they employ
some very ingenious ways to foil their counterparts.
Travis and Carol use every sailor's trick and turn of the tides
that San Francisco Bay has to offer as their only weapons with
astonishing success. Whether the reader is a sailor or not, the
excitement and satisfaction of reading how two regular citizens can
prevail against professional evildoers is an old story but with a
thrilling new twist in "The Angel Island Conspiracy."
A debate of perennial interest, addressing one of the oldest
questions posed to religious believers--if God made everything, who
made God? Most recently leveled by the New Atheists, the question
of the likelihood that God is a human invention was first asked in
ancient Greece and has preoccupied religious believers for
centuries ever since. Here, renowned scholar Robert Banks explores
the history of this objection--from its earliest vocalization in
the ancient world to its most famous advocates, including Freud,
Marx, and others--and offers compelling evidence that takes both
sides of the argument into account. Ideal for those with a general
interest in New Atheism or for those studying religion, this
informative guide will offer readers the chance to sort out once
and for all what--if any--elements of their idea of God are
man-made.
This volume celebrates the life and writing of R. Paul Stevens,
whose lifetime of teaching has focused on equipping the whole
people of God for leadership.Playing Heaven contains the majority
of the shorter pieces published by Dr. Stevens in two of Regent
College's journals, Crux and Vocatio. This stimulating collection
invites the reader to rediscover the many ways in which we are
called to participate in God's purposes in the world.
A top leadership theorist offers a compelling proposal for
renovating the way religious education is practiced today.
Christian colleges and seminaries have not been immune from the
cultural influences shaping contemporary education. Challenging the
conventional wisdom advanced by the educational debate during the
last fifteen years, Robert Banks builds an innovative new model of
theological education based on how ministry formation took place in
biblical times. Banks takes full account of key issues raised by
our current educational context and shows how a "missional model"
of education is more holistic, inclusive, and practical than recent
versions.
