“Lucifer” The Morning Star Does Not Exist In Scripture At All【電子書籍】[ Lee A. Todman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Lee Todman's expos? is an important book and good news for Christians and other interested parties who believe in or are afraid of Lucifer the Morning Star, the so-called Devil.<br /> Throughout his life, Todman had heard the name Lucifer (the Devil) and why humanity should be aware and afraid of this character. As a child he was brought up believing Lucifer was a fallen angel who rebelled against God and was the personification of evil in its purest form. However, it was a concept that did not bear weight with him and years later, while studying at university, he took a deeper look into the book of Isaiah, specifically chapter 14:12.<br /> He was amazed to discover Lucifer as a character does not exist anywhere in Scripture and has been falsely passed down through the generations via ignorance or deceit.<br /> After much controversy and interaction with Christians, former Christians, atheists and other cult members, he wrote Lucifer the Morning Star to put to rest this false narrative once and for all. This book provides the evidence and facts that one single mistranslated word has caused more harm than good, especially in Western culture. It has given rise to false ideologies such as Satanism and Luciferianism that are nothing more than synthetic ideologies that prey on the weak-minded. When they learn there is no Lucifer, the bringer or bearer of light, their entire ideology collapses from within.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,050円

God Is Not【電子書籍】[ Jerry D. Warren ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>I was inspired to publish this mainly by my granddaughter. I had been writing for a few years already. The material was on three-by-five notebooks. My granddaughter gathered these notebooks and wanted to put them in a book for our family. While transferring the material from notebooks to paper, she suggested that I should try to get them published. That was about a year ago. So I decided to see if someone was willing to take a chance, and Christian Publishing came up. Many of my poems were inspired by and the writing started while attending church service. I personally believe that the Holy Spirit was involved in some of these, if not all of these writings. They are about the constant battle between good and evil or darkness and light. For those who believe, it is an inspiration to continue and share belief when appropriate. The unbelievers will most likely never even look at this. Maybe it will inspire someone to turn to God and find the peace in the shadow of his light. The philosophical part is the "TO BE" verses. These may cause some to have a deeper thought about things we may witness on a daily basis. Most are common sense, some have more than one train of thought, and others are kind of blunt. Some of the poems are political in nature while others have a different aspect, all the while keeping in mind of Satan trying to inspire people to turn from God. The universal love of God and the giving of his life for each of us who believe allow us to start a new life through Jesus Christ who suffered and died for our sin.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,372円

Being and Not-Being An Introduction to Plato’s Sophist【電子書籍】[ P. Seligman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The present monograph on Plato's Sophist developed from series of lectures given over a number of years to honours and graduate phi losophy classes in the University of Waterloo. It is hoped that it will prove a useful guide to anyone trying to come to grips with, and gain a perspective of Plato's mature thought. At the same time my study is addressed to the specialist, and I have considered at the appropriate places a good deal of the scholarly literature that has appeared during the last thirty years. In this connection I regret that some of the pub lications which came to my notice after my work was substantially completed (such as KamIah's and Sayre's) have not been referred to in my discussion. As few philosophy students nowadays are familiar with Greek I have (except in a few footnotes) translated as well as transliterated all Greek terms. Citations from Plato's text follow Cornford's admirable trans lation as closely as possible, though the reader will find some significant deviations. The most notable of these concerns the key word on which I have rendered throughout as "being," thus avoiding Cornford's "existence" and "reality" which tend to prejudge the issues which the dialogue raises.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 6,076円

When I Am Playing with My Cat, How Do I Know That She Is Not Playing with Me? Montaigne and Being in Touch with Life【電子書籍】[ Saul Frampton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>“When I dance, I dance; when I sleep, I sleep. And when I</strong><br /> <strong>am walking alone in a beautiful orchard, if my thoughts</strong><br /> <strong>are sometimes preoccupied elsewhere, the rest of the time I</strong><br /> <strong>bring them back to the walk, to the orchard, to the sweetness</strong><br /> <strong>of this solitude, and to me.”</strong><br /> <strong>ー<em>Montaigne</em></strong></p> <p>In the year 1570,at the age of thirty-seven, Michel de Montaigne gave up his job as a magistrate and retired to his ch?teau to brood on his own private griefーthe deaths of his best friend, his father, his brother, and his firstborn child. On the ceiling of his library he inscribed a phrase from the Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius: “There is no new pleasure to be gained by living longer.”</p> <p>But finding his mind agitated rather than settled by this idleness, Montaigne began to write, giving birth to the <em>Essays</em>ーshort prose explorations of an amazingly wide range of subjects. And gradually, over the course of his writing, Montaigne rejected his stoical pessimism and turned from a philosophy of death to a philosophy of life. He erased Lucretius’s melancholy fatalism and began to embrace the exuberant vitality of living, finding an antidote to death in the most unlikely placesーthe touch of a hand, the smell of his doublet, the playfulness of his cat, and the flavor of his wine.</p> <p>Saul Frampton offers a celebration of perhaps the most enjoyable and yet profound of all Renaissance writers, whose essays went on to have a huge impact on figures as diverse as Shakespeare, Emerson, and Orson Welles, and whose thoughts, even today, offer a guide and unprecedented insight into the simple matter of being alive.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 783円

Not Quite Australian How Temporary Migration Is Changing the Nation【電子書籍】[ Peter Mares ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Permanent migration has long been vital to the story of Australia. From the arrival of early settlers to waves of post-war immigration, the symbolic moment of disembarking onto Australian soil is an image deeply embedded in our nation’s consciousness.</p> <p>Today, there are more than million temporary migrants living in Australia. They work, pay tax and abide by our laws, yet they remain unrecognised as citizens. All the while, this rise in temporary migration is redefining Australian society, from wage wars and healthcare benefits, to broader ideas of national identity and cultural diversity.</p> <p>In <em>Not Quite Australian</em>, award-winning journalist Peter Mares draws on case studies, interviews and personal stories to investigate the complex realities of this new era of temporary migration. Mares considers such issues as the expansion of the 457 work visa, the unique experience of New Zealand migrants, the internationalisation of Australia's education system and our highly politicised asylum-seeker policies to draw conclusions about our nation's changing landscape.</p> <p><em>Not Quite Australian</em> is packed with fresh insight and challenging new ideas for understanding Australia’s growing culture of temporary migration.</p> <p><strong>Peter Mares</strong> is an independent writer and researcher. He is a contributing editor with the online magazine <em>Inside Story</em> and a senior moderator with The Cranlana Programme. Peter was a broadcaster with the ABC for twenty-five years, serving as a foreign correspondent based in Hanoi and presenting national radio programs. He is the author of the award-winning book <em>Borderline: Australia's Response to Refugees and Asylum Seekers in the Wake of the Tampa</em> and has written about migration for many media outlets including the <em>Age</em>, <em>Australian Financial Review</em> and <em>Griffith Review</em>. Peter lives in Melbourne with his wife and son.</p> <p>‘Mares is indefatigable in his data gathering and scrupulously even-handed in weighing the evidence. He strikes an exquisite balance between the personal and scholarly, the humane and tough-mindedness. <em>Not Quite Australian</em> is big-picture storytelling with a pulse, always keeping ideals, blunt realities and peopleーthe exposed who want a place and the lucky ones entrenched hereーin the frame.’ <em>Australian</em></p> <p>‘An important and timely contribution to the debate about how Australia should handle the migration of people to its territory, and I highly recommend it.’ <em>Australian Book Review</em></p> <p>‘Compellingly readable…[Mares’] research is comprehensive, intellectually deft, ethically and philosophically groundedーbut digestible, and personally attested…This is on-the-ground, people-focused journalism of the highest kind.’ <em>Sydney Morning Herald</em></p> <p>‘Mares has once again presented a controversial and complicated topic with clarity and humanity. At a time when a national conversation about what it means to be Australian (or unAustralian) seems daily social media fodder, <em>Not Quite Australian</em> is an important contribution. And a reminder of the importance of thorough, slow-burn journalism in the hot-takes age.’ <em>Big Issue</em></p> <p>‘This detailed, careful and topical book is illuminated by the personal stories of individuals and families caught up in a complex and bureaucratic system, and it leaves a lasting impression of an Australia that is becoming a two-tiered country…Powerful and persuasive.’ <em>Overland</em></p> <p>‘This book is one which should be read by policymakers and concerned citizens alike.’ <em>Spectator</em></p> <p>‘One of the most important books published in Australia in 2016. An impressive account of one of the biggest scandals in contemporary Australia; how we’ve sleepwalked into a policy environment that encourages the systemic exploitation of an underclass of millions of temporary migrants in our country.’ <em>Tim Watts</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,291円
