Often, human perspective and the mechanics of Christianity eclipse the true nature of God -- the God Who wants nothing more than to share an intimate friendship with His children. If you're wondering who God is, or if He cares, let Andrew Wommack show you The True Nature of God.

Stunningly blends punk popular appeal and poetic power. -Time

Like the great speculators Augustine, Aquinas, and Pascal, Jonathan Edwards treated religious ideas as problems not of dogma, but of life. His exploration of self-love disguised as "true virtue" is grounded in the hard facts of human behavior. More than a hell-fire preacher, more than a theologian, Edwards was a bold and independent philosopher. Nowhere is his force of mind more evident than in this book. He speaks as powerfully to us today as he did to the keenest minds of the eighteenth century.

A warning should come with this book, but I find most of those cliché. So how bout an accurate description instead? The story starts with the beginning of a relationship between a sweet young girl and a determined dominant man. It's a slow build of love, trust, longing, and need, with loads of sex of course. The story doesn't just jump into the middle, leaving you to wonder how one went from point A to B or from feeling one way to another. There is a HEA (or two).There is punishment and discipline. It is harsh and could be seen as cruel by the weaker stomached, I'm sure. It could be called abuse by others, but not by those that have really suffered from true abuse, I am quite sure. Because there is a choice given. There is an "escape clause" even if it's not a silly word spoken to break a spell of submission or an even sillier "written contract" not worth the paper it's written on once bondage is in place. No, the choice here is clear. Stay or go. Love or leave. Be what is wanted/needed or turn away from your True Nature.It's a journey with many a twist and turn, but isn't love always?All the books in this series are available for purchase/download now, so you won't be left wanting or waiting.Max takes control right from the start. Lucy has no choice but to give in. She fights to understand her willingness to give him everything. He pushes for more from her.

An anti-romantic comedy about the misadventures of four women who meet on a singles' bike trip.

Early on Dietrich von Hildebrand distinguished himself as a thinker with an unusual understanding of human love. His books in the 1920s on man and woman broke new ground and stirred up fruitful controversy. Toward the end of his life he wrote a foundational book on love, The Nature of Love. He had in fact been preparing all his life to write this work; he was so drawn to the philosophical analysis of love that his students long ago had dubbed him doctor amoris, the doctor of love. The Nature of Love is a masterpiece of phenomenological investigation. Not since Max Schelers work on love have the resources of phenomenology been so fruitfully employed for the understanding of what love is and what it is not.

When wolf-shifter Kelsey Yates discovers that fourteen-year-old shape-shifter Danny Harding is living with a human adoptive mother, she is sent on a secret mission to protect the pup and get him away from the human. Successful CEO Rue Harding has no idea that the private teacher she hires for her deaf son isn't really there to teach him history and algebra-or that Danny and Kelsey are not what they seem to be. But when Danny runs away from home and gets lost in New York City, Kelsey and Rue have to work together to find him before his first transformation sets in and reveals the shape-shifter's secret existence to the world.

In this colorful journal, writer-illustrator Barbara Bash has re-created her chronicles of meditation and contemplative wandering during a series of solitary country retreats. Combining beautifully hand-calligraphed journal notes with watercolor-and-pencil drawings, she captures exquisite moments of magic in the natural environment: a dragonfly's brief pause, a surprised deer in tall grass, a lumbering skunk's visit, the woods at twilight. Nature lovers, gardeners, and anyone who enjoys solitary country walks will recognize in Barbara a kindred spirit and will find hours of pleasure in these pages.
