The Gospel Truth

The Gospel Truth

Resource Publications (CA)
2020
pokkari
The skepticism holding sway in our public society practically screams that one cannot be serious and also be Christian. This work exposes the lie to such skepticism. This book adopts the scientific method to demonstrate the underlying facts recorded in the Gospels. The arguments rely solely upon reason and objective criteria to substantiate their conclusions. This fast-paced work by a nuclear engineering executive with more than thirty-five years of experience will defy expectations. Rigorous and systematic, this apologetic work is curated with verve, energy, and wit. It will pique the interests of academics and lay audience alike by answering these questions: -Why is the resurrection a necessary but not sufficient condition for the rise of Christianity? -Who founded Christianity? Hint: it was not Saint Paul, as many suppose. -Why did the church retain all of the Hebrew Bible, even though only a small fraction pertains directly to the New Testament? -How does the church rectify the necessity of justice with the virtue of mercy? -Why did his first followers call Jesus the Christ while fully aware that he did not satisfy the expectations of the Christ in the Hebrew Bible? At the end of the book, readers will ask the same question about Jesus that Jesus asked of the apostles, ""Who do you say that I am?""

Why Not Joy?

Have you ever wondered why staying positive was so hard to maintain? Or whether it would ever be possible to shake those defeated thoughts about your worth and potential? You will find the answer to these and many other quality of life questions in Why Not Joy? Change Your Mind and Everything Else Along With It. More importantly, you will learn what it takes to rewrite your life story from a dreary, burdensome trek into a marvelous adventure undertaken in close collaboration with God.Using a humorous and poignant blend of personal experience, relevant scientific information, and case studies from his addiction counseling practice, Patrick lays out a detailed blueprint that you can use to transform your experience of life into whatever you want it to be. The author knows this material from the inside and doesn't hide his own struggles with addiction, low self-esteem, and futile thinking. He also relates several miraculous interventions that will rekindle your faith that God is able to do "exceedingly, abundantly, beyond" your wildest imaginations.Patrick discusses the mindsets that underlie our personal narratives, and sheds light on why the story we choose to tell about our setbacks and losses is far more important than what actually went wrong. He's helped many of his clients to "reinvent" themselves, and you will gain the information and inspiration to rewrite your story so that things like depression, anxiety and addiction no longer belong and are replaced instead with gratitude, peace of mind, and abiding joy. Transformation is possible and it's closer than you think

Co-operative LivesA landmarked midtown Manhattan address. Carnegie Hall and Central Park at your feet. Three hundred units. Thirty-two full-time employees. Five hundred neighbors. You've hit the big time. Joined the elite. But what do you know about them, the neighbors? Have you ever met them? Really engaged with them? Or do you gaze down in the elevator, the same way you do on the subway and the street?Oh sure, you've heard a famous writer lives on the fourteenth floor, a retired US senator on the eighteenth. You've witnessed so many Broadway impresarios glide through the lobby you've lost count. But what about your real neighbors - the couple in 7H, for instance, or the family in 8B? Did you know they once harbored the most wanted fugitive in America?No? It was in the papers for weeks; nearly tore the co-op apart. Even that famous writer on fourteen got involved. And all because an M7 bus side-swiped a resident-shareholder while turning down Seventh Avenue.You're busy? Oh, I'm sorry. Just thought you should know something about the co-op's history. And buy more insurance, lots more; I've got a friend named Stanley.From the ForwardIt is perhaps unorthodox to declare a story which transpired 6-8 years ago in the country's largest metropolis historical fiction but labelling it otherwise would be a deception. The election of a bilious talk show host to the world's highest office, the NSA-sponsored surveillance, cataloging and storage of millions of Americans' phone logs and recordings, the petulant, self-imposed withdrawal of Great Britain from the EU, the global contagion of anti-immigrant nationalism - no pundit could have predicted these developments in 2013. And no one would have believed him.I intended this book as a work of contemporary fiction. It described, I think accurately, the city and world I lived in. Just six years have elapsed since its completion, but I might as well have described ancient China. The world and New York City of 2013 no longer exist. I hereby present, for better or worse, the world's most contemporary historical novel.About the AuthorPatrick Finegan is a native New Yorker who worked more than thirty years in law, corporate finance, management consulting and risk management. For the great majority of those years, he lived in the same residential co-op. This is his first work of fiction.

Crime and Risk

Over recent years, the governance of crime - from policing and crime prevention to sentencing and prison organization - has moved away from a focus on reforming offenders toward preventing crime and managing behaviour using predictive and distributional (such as risk) techniques. Crime and Risk presents an engaging discussion of risk strategies and risk-taking in the domain of crime and criminal justice. It outlines the broad theoretical issues and political approaches involved, relating risk in contemporary crime governance to risk in criminal activity. Taking a broad and discursive approach, it covers: Risk-taking and contemporary cultureThe excitement associated with risk-taking and the impact of criminal activityThe application of risk-oriented developments in crime prevention and controlThe use of genetic and related biotechnologies to assess and react to perceived threatsThe conceptualization of risk in relation to race and genderThe influence of excitement upon criminal activityEvidence and accountability. ? Compact Criminology is an exciting series that invigorates and challenges the international field of criminology. Books in the series are short, authoritative, innovative assessments of emerging issues in criminology and criminal justice – offering critical, accessible introductions to important topics. They take a global rather than a narrowly national approach. Eminently readable and first-rate in quality, each book is written by a leading specialist. Compact Criminology provides a new type of tool for teaching, learning and research, one that is flexible and light on its feet. The series addresses fundamental needs in the growing and increasingly differentiated field of criminology.
