Book Description
This study of Bezas pastoral theology, based on a thorough examination of his writings, uncovers a new portrait of the third generation reformer. The picture that emerges is not of a cold, removed, overlyintellectual academic, but a committed Christian troubled by the vicissitudes of life. He believed that only the biblical truth of the supreme sovereignty of God could support believers on their earthly pilgrimage to heaven. ... Read more

Book Description
Do you remember that television commercial which portrayed men and women walking sideways as they were going about their daily affairs; that is until they “had a V-8,” which straightened out their gait and had them walking upright again? Well, as Christians, we are much like those people, only we end up sideways in our spiritual lives. This book will show how we can take our “V-8” as given to us in Scripture so we may rebalance ourselves, which will allow us to once again walk upright. If we were to look at the contents label on a can of V-8, we would see that there are some ingredients that were mixed together in precise proportions which make the drink effective. In God’s Word, we find the same thing. This book explains the precise order in which we are to “stack the building blocks” as laid out in Scripture, so we can be successful and in balance in our Christian lives. ... Read more

High tech brings goodness to modern campaigns
GURPS attempts to satisfy campaigns across pretty much every genre, in pretty much every time period.The standard basic characters/campaigns books, plus perhaps Magic, Fantasy, and Banestorm make life pretty easy for a fantasy GM, while the basic books plus perhaps UltraTech, Infinite Worlds, Space, BioTech, or Traveller Interstellar Wars make life easy for a sci fi GM.Until now, it has been a bit problematic running a campaign set between the civil war and near-tech cyberpunk.

High Tech addresses this time period.It concentrates on ironmongery, with real world examples of weapons and ammunition as used throughout history.It includes dates of introduction and wide reproduction for time travel games, and enough information for people generally unfamiliar with firearms to sound the part of their gunslinger characters.

It also has many, many pages of non-weapon/armor equipment, and frankly, that was the part I liked the most.My players enjoyed being able to look up a diving bell, a WW2 tank, and a napoleaonic-era timepiece.

For what it is worth, my minimal set of GURPS books is the main two, plus magic, ultra tech, and now high tech.With those, I can generally convert items from other systems or wing it, regardless of era.

Great book for historical Gaming
Gurps High Tech is a great sourcebook for historical or modern gaming set from the mid 1700's to today.Unlike previous editions of the book High Tech isn't just about firearms (though the chapter on weaponry is half the book) it also includes information on a wide variety of other historical technology.There's information technology from printing presses to word processing software, information transfer tech from hand caried mail to e-mail, and protective gear from summer clothing to space suits.Best of all the book doesn't just list game stat's for everything (although it has them too) it describes it in real world terms so you can create your own stats for other games.

Another solid performance from SJ Games
Like many 4th edition GURPS books, this is a major rewrite of an existing book.Like Ultra Tech, this book goes so much further beyond its original material that it is essentially a whole new book.

The greatest weakness of the original High-Tech book was that it was primarily about guns and their history and it was organized as an historical reference rather than a roleplaying reference.Another issue was that one slender volume attempted to cover all equipment from the beginning of the age of gunpowder to the modern era.

In spite of the authors best efforts, this was simply too much material for a single book and it tended to either get lost in the details or was so vague as to be nearly useless.I bought the original book and loved it for quite a while because it fit a niche in my military history library, not because it was useful for roleplaying (although the authors added some desperately needed charts that did help considerably on that front).

The new book reduces it's area of coverage to about 225 years instead of nearly 500 years and does a tremendously better job of explaining the effects of the items on roleplaying.The book has marvelous illustrations and quotes and the now-ubiquitous short stories that add a lot of interest to their rules explanations.Admittedly the history suffers a bit but that's a price I'm willing to pay.

Another advantage is that the new book is a lot bigger as well, with 256 pages instead of the original 128.This provides room to give detailed histories for particular items such as the AK-47 that the characters are likely to encounter more frequently.

There's still a LOT of weapons and the nicely written descriptions don't cover all the weapons in the book but the enormous effort that went into this book was most definitely NOT wasted.This is another welcome addition to the GURPS universe! ... Read more

A Work of Love
At the Name of Jesus Christian Poems provides a spiritual roadmap for those who walk tall in their faith and for those who have slammed into discouraging dead ends. Reed infuses the book with compassion as he guides readers to the light he has come to know. His enthusiasm and energy are contagious in many of the pieces, and those seeking to strengthen their Christian ties find the boost they need in Reed's work. At other places in the book, a reflective, grateful tone reminds readers why Jesus' love can be such a powerful gift. The following poem, "At Midnight," illustrates his style.

Jesus, you are my new song when I am in old pain;/ Even when I am sure that I suffer and labor in vain;/ You give me hope when others have left me for dead;/ It is at midnight that you raise up my bowed down head./ Jesus, you are my power source when my lights have gone out;/ Even when I am in sin and guilty beyond a doubt;/ You are a lamp to my feet when others chain me in jail;/ It is at midnight that you blaze my life a new trail.

At the Name of Jesus Christian Poems is a work of love by a man with a passionate message to share and lights the way for those seeking to walk Christ's path.

Product Description
Being human is neither abstract nor hypothetical. It is concrete, visceral, and embodied in the everyday experience and relationships that determine who we are. In that case, argues distinguished theologian Shawn Copeland, we have much to learn from the embodied experience of black women who, for centuries, have borne in their bodies the identities and pathologies of those in power.

With rare insight and conviction, Copeland demonstrates how black women's experience and oppression cast a completely different light on our theological theorems and pious platitudes and reveal them as a kind of mental colonization that still operates powerfully in our economic and political configurations today. Further, Copeland argues, race and embodiment and relations of power not only reframe theological anthropology but also our notions of discipleship, church, and Christ as well. In fact, she argues, our postmodern situation - marked decidedly by the realities of race, conflict, the remains of colonizing myths, and the health of bodies - affords an opportunity to be human (and to be the body of Christ) with new clarity and effect. ...

Book Description
During this amazing journey we call life, God allows us the opportunity to meet people that are specially set apart by God. It was during a nine week outpouring of the Holy Spirit that began with one of my "Journey Through Rock" crusades that God allowed me to cross paths with an incredible young man. That young man's name is Shawn Patrick Williams. Little did I know that God would allow me to pour into an anointed young man's ministry all that the Holy Spirit had taught me throughout a quarter century of ministry. Our "Journey Through Rock" crusades have spanned the world, reaching over three million young people face to face. Hundreds of thousands were saved, healed, and delivered. Literally hundreds more today are themselves pastors, evangelists, music ministers, missionaries, and youth pastors. Shawn Patrick is one of those anointed ministers of the Gospel that I have had the privilege of personally mentoring over the last decade. Shawn Patrick is truly one of the most passionate anointed ministers of the Gospel that I know. He has an unquenchable hunger for God and a burning desire to reach a lost and dying generation with the uncompromising Gospel of Jesus Christ. Reverend Shawn Patrick is submitted to authority, committed to the call, and totally unashamed of the Gospel. He is in love with Jesus, his wife and co-laborer in the Gospel, Christy, as well as his two children! I sincerely believe that he is one of God's choice servants and a genuine end-time warrior for the Gospel of Christ. It is my honor and privilege to call Shawn Patrick Williams my brother, fellow minister, and spiritual son in the Lord. The mantel of ministry is now falling upon this new generation of prophets. Thank you Shawn for continuing my legacy of reaching this generation with the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Thank you for allowing the "Journey" that God birthed in me over a quarter of a century ago, to continue in even greater power. Thank you for leading an entirely new generation on a journey "Beyond the Darkness" and into the glorious Light of His eternal love! ... Read more

A deeply spiritual and reverent guide steeped in unwavering faith.
Written by Navy veteran and licensed private investigator Shawn Smith, Find Happiness: How to Fill the Void in Your Life by Looking, Feeling, and Living Better is an uplifting blend of self-help suggestions, Christian spirituality, and inspirational autobiography. Chapters teach the reader how to identify the symptoms of depression and act to prevent it, avoid harmful habits and vices, improve one's eating and exercise habits, find truth in the Word of God, and much more. Smith does not claim to be a saint; he confesses to the sins of his life, and tells the true story of how he succeeded in turning himself around from the brink. A deeply spiritual and reverent guide steeped in unwavering faith.

A unique book that shows you how to have happiness beyond your wildest expectations
This book is a valuable, fascinating biography and self-help book rolled into one. I have read many self-help books but have never seen one that does such a good job of describing the spiritual *and* physical responsibilities we all must undertake for a rewarding, satisfying life. For example, in addition to describing the moral and psychological forces at work in our lives, the author includes information on "How to Look and Feel Better," including healthy eating, nutrition, exercise and weight training.

Author Shawn Smith, a self-proclaimed "Knight for Christ," is a Navy veteran and graduated with high honors in Criminal Social Justice from Lewis University. In the book he shares the lessons he learned during his own 36-year search for peace and fulfillment. As you read the book, he shows how to find the tools and the will to fight anxiety, depression, anger, dependency, and low self esteem, and how to apply this to your own life.

Throughout, this book is clear, easy to understand, and motivating to the reader. I recommend it highly.
