Adventure, laughter, and pure fun await in A Book for Kids by C.J. Dennis This timeless collection of poems and stories bursts with energy and imagination, creating unforgettable moments on every page.
Are you ready to face death itself? For centuries the people of Halcareth worshipped twelve angelic beings known as keepers, until the day that Len, son of Micah, received a vision, foretelling that one of them would set forth the end of the world. To prevent this cataclysmic future, the keeper Ybara appears to a boy named Alfred and shows him the way towards a mysterious chamber containing seven crowns. It is there that his eyes are opened to the spiritual realm where angels and demons roam, and it is there that he is burdened with the chamber's protection. Now, years later, the keeper from the prophet's vision has arrived on the island of Halcareth and Alfred is all that stands between him and the power of the seven crowns. Will Alfred cower in the face of death, or will he be prepared to sacrifice all he has for the goodness of the world?
Green in the Desert propels you into the world of C.J. Reynes through real life stories of challenge, disappointment, joy and danger as she shares her experiences from living in two very different cultures while putting God's promises into action in her life. Following God's call on her life and then facing death, false accusations, grief, fear and misunderstanding, C.J. describes the situations she found herself in and the keys from scripture she used to thrive in her circumstances. These keys are clearly outlined and can be applied to your own life as you hear what C.J. has done to face the hardest challenges of life. This book demonstrates that we don't have to be 'super-saints' to thrive with Jesus during deep trials. Each chapter begins with a story of God's miraculous provision when difficulties were faced, and then concludes with a Scriptural principle that was learned or used at the time. The author desires to "show" God's faithfulness in practical ways, rather than "tell" about him. Get hope to survive and faith to thrive in your hardships C.J. is emphatic that God can do extraordinary things through ordinary people-like her AND YOU-who trust him. Accessible to readers of almost all ages, C.J. will delight you with her own tales in the walk of life but leave you with gold in the keys that have brought her so much joy.

A good smattering of F-bombs.

Philoponus: On Aristotle On Coming-to-Be and Perishing 1.1-5

The first five chapters of Aristotle’s De Generatione et Corruptione distinguish creation and destruction from mere qualitative change and from growth. They include a fascinating debate about the atomists’ analysis of creation and destruction as due to the rearrangement of indivisible atoms. Aristotle’s rival belief in the infinite divisibility of matter is explained and defended against the atomists’ powerful attack on infinite divisibility. But what inspired Philoponus most in his commentary is the topic of organic growth. How does it take place without ingested matter getting into the same place as the growing body? And how is personal identity preserved, if our matter is always in flux, and our form depends on our matter? If we do not depend on the persistence of matter why are we not immortal? Analogous problems of identity arise also for inanimate beings. Philoponus draws out a brief remark of Aristotle’s to show that cause need not be like effect. For example, what makes something hard may be cold, not hard. This goes against a persistent philosophical prejudice, but Philoponus makes it plausible that Aristotle recognized this truth. These topics of identity over time and the principles of causation are still matters of intense discussion.
These chapters of Aristotle's treatise are about physical interactions. In his innovative commentary, Philoponus discusses Aristotle's idea that certain qualities of the elements are basic. In what way are they basic? he asks. To what extent can the other qualities be reduced to the basic ones? And if the other qualities depend on the basic ones, how is it that they can vary independently of each other when the basic qualities change? Philoponus develops the idea that the other qualities merely supervene on the basic ones, rather than resulting from them. Moreover, physical qualities admit of different ranges of variation, and so have different thresholds at which they appear or disappear. Philoponus also discusses Aristotle's idea that the elements and their basic qualities survive potentially when mixed together. He explains this by drawing a third sense of 'potential' out of Aristotle's texts to take the place of the two senses which Aristotle explicitly recognises. Philoponus adds further restrictions to Aristotle's principles of causation. Black can contaminate white, but the black in ebony does not have the right matter for affecting the white of milk. He asks why fluids can affect each other more easily than solids. In every case, Philoponus takes Aristotle's discussions further, and his ideas on the dependence of some qualities on others are very relevant to the continuing philosophical debate on the subject.
