Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is written from a fuflilled perspective and a preterist view. The book presents a consistent argument that unifies the Olivet Discourse into one great subject and one great fulfillment. Since Jesus and His apostles were all Hebrews who lived over 2000 years ago, there is a need to understand their message in the age they lived in then. Jews who lived before the destruction of their temple in A.D. 70 wouild not have thought beyond the end of their age that was looming then. The author explores the statement, 'But of that day and hour knows no one' and argues that Jesus was alluding to Zechariah 14:7 which context points to the destruction of the Jewish temple in the end of their age, not the end of human history. The author argues the case that the 'time of the end' that Jesus spoke of was not the 'end of time' as many Christians assume.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It's the 1980s, and secret agent Thomas Kuperthorne has spent the past four years hiding from contract killers in the Middle East while posing as 'freelance foreign correspondent Tom Maddox' and spying for the Five Eyes Alliance - a powerful international intelligence agency. Now he is needed back home. That's because Canadian Minister of Defense Alphonse Roy has resigned his position without warning to run for the leadership of the largest separatist party in Quebec, though not before stealing the access code to NATO's wideband global satcom network out from under the government's nose. He intends to use his possession of the code to blackmail the Canadian Federation to allow Quebec to separate without firing a shot, all the while intending to install himself as the first president of a sovereign Quebec. While the rest of Canada has no intention of bending to Roy's demands, the possibility of Roy offering to sell the access code on the black market to the highest bidder provides the Alliance with a unique and dangerous opportunity to turn the tables and use the code as bait to attract representatives of the world's most notorious criminal organizations to Canadian shores where they can be captured. The Canadian Military and the Five Eyes Alliance intend to be ready and to do exactly that. As a member of the press, 'Tom Maddox' is tasked with infiltrating Roy's leadership campaign to discover his nefarious plans for the stolen code, and provide much-needed intel to help the Alliance make unprecedented strides to bring down some of most dangerous regimes, cabals and cartels on the global landscape. But he can't do it alone. Much to his chagrin, his superiors have also enlisted Crimson Sumner, a beautiful and well-known Canadian actress (and periodic love interest), hoping to leverage her feminine wiles and celebrity status in a classic 'honeypot' infiltration operation, and gain better access to Roy and his inner circle beyond what any member of the media could accomplish working on their own.It's a dangerous game and only becomes worse when a cabal based in East Africa, the Brown Mambas, enters the picture as a potential buyer of the stolen code. With their reputation as merciless traffickers of illegal arms and human lives, Thomas will have to decide what truly matters to him: justice and keeping Canada united, while saving thousands of innocent women from sex slavery or protecting the life of the woman he loves.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On Saturday, June 27th, 2020, after 105 days of Covid-isolation alone in my tiny, single-souled apartment in Toronto, I took off on my old Raleigh bicycle, packing nothing but some bike tools, camping gear, and a change of clothes.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Is there anything scarier than fear itself Anything more convincing than what we tell ourselves Life is full of opportunities for adventure and achievement, but so many of them seem completely out of reach. We fear change, negative consequences, and uncertainty. We tell ourselves we aren't smart enough, not ready, not worthy . . . But what if we're wrong What if those negative things we tell ourselves-and the things we're so very scared of facing-are just figments Empty constructs fashioned from our own internal programing, which begins taking hold the day we are born and grows more ingrained and insidious with every experience and influence to which we are exposed. Our conscious and subconscious beliefs about ourselves, and the world around us, are often the only things that actually stand between where we are and where we want to go-between who we are and who we could become.With practical examples and simple language, as well as a lot of thought-provoking insight and humor, Inspired Courage - Breaking Through Your Barriers to Success will teach you how to recognize your fears and self-limiting beliefs, face them head on, and break through to the other side. Then you'll finally be free to embrace the world, and yourself, without getting in your own way.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Instead of serving time, let time be the servant, offering on the platter of progress an opportunity to slowly peel back the layers of your life, eventually coming to an understanding about what it is that brought you here in the first place.Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Jay Carson chose to make a change. Drawing on personal experience and observation, he took to writing of the rapture and rupture of life and the thin veil separating the two. Instead of the end, a new beginning. Instead of the dungeon of despair, a house of healing. Instead of abject loss, a gift seen for what it is precisely because of loss. The Creator writes straight using crooked lines!Jay's creative reflections culminated in this collection of lyric poems and beautiful photographs, published posthumously to honour the author's courage in the face of a degenerative condition. By turns playful, sober, and sublime, this collection includes imagistic stories of the past; meditations on timeless themes; pithy bon mots; and tributes to nature's sacred beauty.…
