What are borders? Are they simply political and geographical, marked by posts, walls and fences, or should we think of them more broadly? In his third book on travel, history and culture, college professor, historian and journalist David Mould rambles through a dozen countries in Asia and southern Africa by car, bus, train, shared taxi and ferry, exploring what borders mean to their peoples.Many countries are the artificial creations of colonial powers. Their borders, set by surveys and treaties, took no account of topography or the ethnic groups that were cobbled together. There are also borders within countries, defined by race, ethnicity, or caste. Borders may be physical and economic, even perceptual-the borders of our minds. On his travels, David faces shakedowns by border guards, finds old-time religion in Malawi, revisits the legacy of apartheid in Johannesburg, traverses the rivers of Bangladesh, wanders through the ancient kingdoms of Nepal, explores Malaysia's troubled colonial past, sets off security alarms in Karachi, counts yaks and discovers dinosaurs on the Mongolian steppe, savors the cuisine of Georgia and fulfills a Dr. Zhivago fantasy on the Trans-Siberian Railway.

In Does It Really Matter What I believe About God? the author guides us through the maze of various beliefs. Beyond that, there are crucial questions that are answered. Is there a God? Is God knowable? What does God expect from me? What can I expect from God? What happens when we die? What is the point of life? Many religions profess that we must work our way into favor with God, and our performance determines our destiny. How and where we spend eternity depends on the decisions we make now. On the other hand, many prefer to believe that eventually everyone will go to heaven. Where are you in relationship to God? The book is divided into eight sections exploring those that believe in one God, many Gods, believe they are God or can become like God, worship Satan, deny God exists, unsure or do not care if God exists, seeking to know God, or do know God and worship Him.Everyone should be able to find themselves somewhere in those sections and the chapters within them. The author describes the appeal of various beliefs and what the Bible has to say about them. It is clearly demonstrated that all paths do not lead to God.God is not the author of confusion. (1 Cor 14:33) The devil is the father of all lies. (Joh 8:44) God wants all to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. (1 Ti 2:3,4) While our adversary, the devil wants to separate us from God. He prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (1 Pe 5:8)Answering the question, Does It Really Matter About God? will have an impact on your life now, and forever.

Collier On The New Covenant
David H. J. Gay
Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
David Gay has abridged his 'Exalting Christ: Thomas Collier on the New Covenant' to produce this shorter work for those who might be daunted by the amount of material in the larger volume. Christ, fulfilling the old covenant, established the new covenant. And new-covenant theology is nothing other than the theology of the new covenant, the gospel. So those who think that new-covenant theology was invented in the 1980s could not be more wrong. It is actually older than the hills, having originated in God's eternal decree. What is more, in covenant-theology's heyday - the late-puritan era in England - not a few preachers and writers resolutely stood against the tide to set out the glories of the new covenant. One such was the 17th-century Baptist, Thomas Collier. He has much to teach us about those scriptural doctrines which are often dismissed out of hand today, even though they are so desperately needed. Gay hopes that this little work will enable Collier's words to travel far and do much good, encouraging many believers to search the Scriptures - not the Confessions - for themselves.

Exalting Christ: Thomas Collier on the New Covenant

Although the prodigious writings of the 17th-century Baptist Thomas Collier need to be read with discernment, David Gay, being convinced that Collier has much of value to say on the theology of the new covenant, has produced this volume in the hope that Collier's voice will be heard by many. And as Hanserd Knollys said about one of Collier's works: 'Carry it that is, what you read in this book] to the touchstone of the word of God], try all things, and hold fast that which is good'. May God give us grace to do that very thing, and with it give us an ear to hear, a mind to understand, a heart to love, a will to submit to, and a life to experience the glories of Christ in the new covenant. Michael A.G.Haykin: 'As David Gay admits in the following pages, "Collier got some things wrong. Badly so... I am not glossing over this... Collier is not always a reliable guide". But there were some things that relate to the new covenant and the status of believers in this age when Christ is pouring his new wine into new vessels that Collier got very right, and these things should not be forgotten'.
Peter Masters' Muddle over the Covenants

David Gay writes: 'Covenant theology, devised in Germany in the second half of the 16th century, confuses the vital biblical doctrine of the two covenants - the old and the new. This is not a matter of words. The consequences are severe. And it is always good to come across someone who appreciates this, and publishes work to try put it right. Peter Masters edges in this direction. But, alas, I am convinced that his work on the covenants is only "good in parts". So I have responded to it in the hope that I might help others get clearer light on the covenants; in particular, that they might come to see more of the glory of the new covenant for the believer; above all, that they might enjoy that liberty in Christ for themselves, and enjoy it to the full'.

It is 177 years in the future. The world economy is unified through the International Trade Organization. Worldwide security is provided by the Warrior caste of Lacedaemon, Inc., which is patterned after ancient Sparta. Cillian and his twin Pridbor are born into the Warrior caste as the property of Lacedaemon. They are an experiment of the Threshold project, the Boost - an attempt to produce a more lethal warrior. However, a technical error at birth separates the twins. Cillian becomes Bartlett Starling, a member of the Worker caste, the lowest caste in the industrial zone of The Citadel, a ruthless arm of Lacedaemon, Inc. that discards imperfect children to the Ditch to die. However, unbeknownst to Lacedaemon, Inc. not all of the discards have died in the Ditch, but if The Citadel discovers that they have lived, they will be killed. Bartlett discovers them. Bartlett has one chance to return to the Warrior caste, The Challenge. If he fails, he dies or returns to the industrial zone. In his battle to find the right path, he must decide whether to kill or be killed, who to trust and not trust, and if the Discards of the Citadel should be saved. Will he win The Challenge and turn them in or discover his humanity and keep them a secret?
The narrator of 'An Uncertain Shore' returns to the coastal haunts of his youth after a traumatic bereavement, hoping to find solace for his grief by reliving elements of his past. He is soon forced to recognize all that separates him from those he once lived among, but he meets a woman painter and is drawn to her and her distinctive art, learning about her background and her ambitions and sharing with her the cause of his depression. He also becomes involved in the schemes of a maverick journalist, bent on defeating a shady corporation which threatens an ecological calamity in the region. The two new acquaintances intersect unexpectedly, with fatal consequences. But these events in turn prove the trigger for a revived campaign against the corporate menace, led this time by the painter and a woman from the narrator's past, who recruits a band of female militants with an unconventional approach to direct action.

The New Covenant In Ezekiel: An Introduction

To most believers, Ezekiel is a closed - not to say, impenetrable - book; especially chapters 40 to 48. What does it all mean for us today? Anything? Ezekiel, a prophet in the days of Judah's captivity, spoke of their restoration and the rebuilding of the temple at Jerusalem. At the appointed time, Judah did return, and the temple was rebuilt. But since that restoration in no way exhausted Ezekiel's majestic message of hope, some expect its fulfilment in a millennial Jewish kingdom to be set up after Christ's return. But Christ offered one effectual sacrifice for sin forever; it is unthinkable, therefore, that sacrifices for sin will be offered once again by levitical priests. So, what was Ezekiel speaking of? As with many others, David Gay, linking Ezekiel with Jeremiah and Hebrews, looking for Christ in all the Scriptures, argues that Ezekiel was predicting the new covenant inaugurated by Christ, leading to its final consummation in glory. And he has published this booklet hoping that it might lead many believers into a fuller enjoyment of the glories which are theirs in the new covenant in Christ.

About Face: The Odyssey of an American Warrior

Avid Reader Press / Simon Schuster
2020
nidottu
Called "everything a war memoir could possibly be" by The New York Times, this all-time classic of the military memoir genre now includes a new forward from bestselling author and retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink.Whether he was fifteen years old or forty, David Hackworth devoted his life to the US Army and quickly became a living legend. However, he appeared on TV in 1971 to decry the doomed war effort in Vietnam. From Korea to Berlin and the Cuban missile crisis to Vietnam, Hackworth's story is that of an exemplary patriot, played against the backdrop of the changing fortunes of America and the US military. This memoir is the stunning indictment of the Pentagon's fundamental misunderstanding of the Vietnam conflict and of the bureaucracy of self-interest that fueled the war. With About Face, Hackworth has written what many Vietnam veterans have called the most important book of their generation and presents a vivid and powerful portrait of patriotism.
