Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. What we believe is our filter for everything. Our beliefs dictate how we walk before God, how we see people, sin, disease, and life. What we believe matters. What we believe about the Bible matters even more. What the Bible actually says matters most. Everyone has theology, whether Christians or atheist. And just because we believe something does not make it true, accurate, or correct. God said that His people were destroyed because of their lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). How devastating when we have such an abundance to study the Bible. Engineers study for a degree, so that they can build buildings, yet so many Christians don't study in order to build their lives. Book 1: Curses and Book 2: Demons and Christians have both been a subject of study for me since the late 1990s. Since George and I have moved a great deal, we have been a part of many different churches. When I first started to study these two subjects we were in a church where Christians were constantly breaking curses off each other and casting demons out of each other as their solutions to their problems. Whether it was sexual problems, financial, interpersonal, mental, or prayer problems, the answer was to break it off or cast it out. It was in the midst of this barrage of problems that the Lord opened my eyes to His truth concerning curses and demonic habitation within Christians. Jesus said, And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). Let us be students of the truth. Confronting the Wind is a systematic biblical treatise discussing the subjects of curses, demonology, and New Testament living. What are generational curses? Have you ever wondered if you were under a generational curse? Do the words of mortals have spiritual power to bind you? Have the words spoken by others, or even yourself, bound you by forces unseen in the natural world? If so, then how can you be free? And what about creation, is it cursed? And regarding demons: Can demons curse you? Can they live inside you? Just exactly what power do they have over mankind or Christians? How can we walk in victory? What is biblical New Testament Christian living? Confronting the Wind answers there questions through careful exegesis.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A "deeply felt and often darkly funny" (People) memoir about growing up feeling different--and finally being diagnosed with autism at 40 "Lean, powerful in its descriptive accuracy, and engaging in its understated humor . . . Emotionally gripping."--Chicago Tribune Ever since he was young, John Robison longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits--an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes (and stick his younger brother, Augusten Burroughs, in them)--had earned him the label "social deviant." It was not until he was forty that he was diagnosed with a form of autism called Asperger's syndrome. That understanding transformed the way he saw himself--and the world. A born storyteller, Robison has written a moving, darkly funny memoir about a life that has taken him from developing exploding guitars for KISS to building a family of his own. It's a strange, sly, indelible account--sometimes alien yet always deeply human.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. In many ways, flying on an airplane is like faith--you must get on board to make the flight. In this metaphorical journey, Randall Robison takes readers from the gate of their faith, much like in an airport, all the way to their destination. A large aircraft never looks like it can take flight, and sometimes the journey goes off track, but the fact remains that we wouldn't get to where we want to go if we didn't take the first step and get on board. Nobody else can do it for us, and only you can do exactly what God desires in your life. You are called for a purpose and He will show you how to carry it out. Experience His grace, grow in His character, and impart that grace to others. This is how you rise above a boring, mediocre faith. And you can do it every day, starting today. Rise Above reminds us as believers that we are made to soar far above the circumstances of life and fly faster, farther, and higher with God by our side. It's never too late to take the flight of faith, or make a course correction and head in the right direction for the journey of a lifetime.…

Where the kids have split into groups in order to survive. Where breaking the rules equals death.
