This is my story of growing up in a small, midwest Nebraska town, while often looking at maps of Northern Canada and dreaming. As I tried to imagine what it would be like to actually walk the trails connecting these remote places, I had no idea that this would eventually happen. To walk, work, and live in isolated regions of Ontario, British Columbia and the Yukon has given me a great appreciation for the God who created this world. Many lessons were learned, some from listening, some from failure, but many more through the Grace of God. This journey took me from the north shore of the Yukon Territory, Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territory, to the remote jungles of South America.

The relationship of the dead body with technology through history, from nineteenth-century embalming machines to the death-prevention technologies of today.Death and the dead body have never been more alive in the public imagination--not least because of current debates over modern medical technology that is deployed, it seems, expressly to keep human bodies from dying, blurring the boundary between alive and dead. In this book, John Troyer examines the relationship of the dead body with technology, both material and conceptual- the physical machines, political concepts, and sovereign institutions that humans use to classify, organize, repurpose, and transform the human corpse. Doing so, he asks readers to think about death, dying, and dead bodies in radically different ways.

Concise guide that lays out an easy to remember path for sharing the good news of salvation through Jesus, the anointed one, while comparing and contrasting the claims of the Bible and the Koran.

Roderick Firth's writings on epistemology amount to an exceptionally careful and cogent defense of an account of perceptual knowledge in the tradition Firth called 'radical empiricism.' This important book collects all of Firth's major works on epistemology; it also contains his only publication in ethics, the extremely influential essay on 'Ethical Absolutism and the Ideal Observer.' In addition, the book includes a number of important previously unpublished essays. Together, these writings constitute the most finished and compelling version of traditional empiricist epistemology. This book will be of value to students and scholars of epistemology, phenomenalism, and ethics.

This is my story of growing up in a small town in Nebraska, often looking at maps of northern Canada and dreaming of going there. Those dreams eventually came true, but first I had to undertake a journey from angry unbelief and rebellion to complete confidence and surrender to God, who gave me a purpose.The resulting saga took me from Tuktoyaktuk in the Northwest Territories, on the shore of the Arctic Ocean, to the jungles of South America. But the most exciting adventure has been my faith walk and really knowing what it's like to have the hand of God on my shoulder protecting, directing, and correcting me.The journey continues.

Most of us came to Jesus because of a desperate need, just like those in Bible times, and He gave us what we asked for. Our lives were changed Unfortunately, our focus on the self easily drives us to selfishly use what He gives us.Jesus changed the lives of everyone who came to Him, but not everyone responded the same way. Some fell on their knees and worshipped Him while others didn't even stop to thank Him. But there were a few who were so awed by this Man that they gave up everything to follow, denying themselves to serve Him.What's your response to what Jesus did for you?
