To God, nothing is more natural than the supernatural. No matter how we read the Holy Scriptures, it is impossible to interpret them without seeing the supernatural at work. As a matter of fact, authentic Christianity cannot exist without the supernatural-that is, knowing the Holy Spirit is God in action. To God, nothing is more natural than the supernatural. The Holy Spirit is God in action In our state-of-the-art world, the unfathomable breakthroughs that everybody wants to see and experience are not happening consistently, mainly in the Western hemisphere. The apostles needed the Holy Spirit to bring lasting transformation to people's lives-and so do we. Jesus says in John's Gospel: And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor-Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever-the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive and take to its heart] because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He (the Holy Spirit) remains with you continually and will be in you (John 14:16-17 AMP). Metaphorically speaking, faith in the Church has been brutally tossed on the open seas in recent times. Because of the violent storms and cyclones encountered, our visibility has been significantly impaired, caught off guard to a decidedly more secular society that is less tolerant of embracing or following Christian values. Consequently, we have struggled to face head-on or tackle without risking the onslaught against our beliefs. This does not mean nothing was done to fight back the tide of contemporary society-but as a result of its force, many of the churches' precious cargo and valuables taken for granted far too long, at that moment, had to be thrown overboard. A case in point is the eradication of prayer in public schools, changes to Sunday trading laws affecting millions of Christians from attending worship, the redefinition of traditional marriage, and censoring Christian teaching-classified as "hate speech" by social media giants such as YouTube and others. James Aladiran, founder and director of Prayer Storm, says of the churches today, "Churches are nurseries where babies are being fed as opposed to barracks where warriors have been bred." As we've drifted on the ocean for many days in a dangerous predicament, mercifully, we sensed land was near, having observed changes in the wave's motion.Beginning the Adventure Martha Zimmerman wrote: Puzzles are a great challenge. They are also immense fun. It always feels good to find a piece that fits. Having found one, you are motivated and encouraged to find "one more." Experts always advise, when you begin to work on a puzzle, always locate the corner pieces first; this builds the frame. Jesus is like the frame or border around the entire Bible. His life draws all the pieces together: the key miracle of God's word is that-all the pieces fit Every person, every place, every event, and story assists to complete the finished picture. The Old Testament and New Testament belong together - the pieces fit Once we believe and understand that Jesus Christ is central to our lives and all truth, then, even some odd shapes fit.1 When I began this project to author a book, I had no idea how difficult it would be to write something I thought I understood for myself (in some way, shape, or form) that l could easily communicate to others. I thought it would have taken me six months or so to get the job done. Well, it has actually taken several years, and in the process, there have been numerous stops, distractions, restarts, a completed book manuscript followed by a change in direction. But

King Creole

King Creole

Anthony Thomas McKenna

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD

This book positions King Creole in the disputed territories of 1950s youth culture. It is one of Elvis’s best regarded films, but one of his least financially successful. It is a portrait of youthful alienation and juvenile delinquency made at a time when these topics were becoming less fashionable in teenpics. The author argues that King Creole's release during the death throes of rock and roll in America helps to position it as an outlier among youth films of the time in three distinct ways. First, the author demonstrates how the post-rock and roll release of the film allowed for a better harnessing of the star's 'Elvisness.' Second, the author conducts an extensive examination of the film's production records, which show how the film's portrait of youth alienation and delinquency pre-dated America's big screen fixation on these topics, making the film not wholly bound by concurrent youth conventions. Third, the author challenges the dominant reading of the film as being about intergenerational conflict and asserts that it is about shared grief. This nuanced approach distinguishes King Creole from other 1950s youth-oriented films and explains its enduring critical acclaim despite commercial underperformance. Rich on archival research and textual analysis King Creole: The Disputed Territories of 1950s American Youth Culture will interest both film studies scholars and students. Beyond film studies, this interdisciplinary text is valuable for scholars and students of popular music, American pop culture, celebrity studies, and social history.

There is something sad in death, without any doubt: it is sad that our near and dear leave this world. But contemporary culture, the culture of radical secularization has reduced this issue to a marginal problem, i.e. a problem which should be ignored, for one reason or another. Our attitude toward death is wrong: yes, we should be sad in such situations, we should respect the deceased ones, it is true. Notwithstanding, what is much sadder is a wasted life, a life deprived of love, faith and care of others. Not that death is terrible in itself, as we already stated; terrible is a life which has not fulfilled itself. It is a disaster to live one's whole life in darkness, thinking that life is deprived of any meaning; or, giving oneself to material pleasures and fornication, to condemn oneself to eternal torment in Hell. We need to reflect on our life, on the meaning of life, on our acts and moral conduct. Atheism has disastrous ramifications not only because it rejects God, but also because it deceives the human beings whose way of thinking is influenced by its principles. Atheism makes us look at the phenomenon of death as a natural process, as an event which proves that man is part of nature. And the truth is the opposite: death shows that man is different; only man has an idea of what is death, and only man can really be afraid of death.Finally, there is a singularity in death. Singularity means a phenomenon which is unique, which is not common nor general. One cannot describe what happens when there is singularity. This notion comes from Physics where special types of events are signified. Singular are such events and processes whose properties, or course, or direction, cannot be predicted nor defined. Singularity is present in the so-called black holes, hypothetical material entities where the density of matter is negative, and gravitation- inimaginable. It is claimed that singularity cannot be even reflected upon- if a given person found him/herself in a black hole, he/she will never understand it, will never be able to think about it. Death is a singular event in such a sense- there is no way to communicate any information about it, information which will pass beyond the borderline between life and death. And in this singularity our conviction that there is another reality beyond death is rooted- we know that death is not exactly a natural process, we know that there is something more in it, and we intuitively know that there is another reality beyond it. It is evident that death is a transition, and there must be another reality where the process of transition takes us; but no one could return from there and tell us how it is like in Hereafter. Science will never be able to describe this transiiton completely, for it lacks again this information which exists only in a state of singularity. Death remains a mystery and its experience is the only certain source of real knowledge. The rest is a matter of faith!

Today there is a serious crisis in our understanding of the American identity. Intellectuals more and more often assert that we must forget about our national identity and to feel like "citizens of the world." We hope that the current book will also contribute to this controversy.

We are living in uncertain times. People are striving for freedom, and at the same time prefer to exist in subordination. They aspire to look "different," to be "themselves," to maintain their "personality" and "authenticity." Freedom is such a concept that seems unnecessary today. Everyone is free, we tend to think, and even if sometimes it happens that a person declare him/herself not free, we believe that it is merely an exception. People should think more about the progress, about their common future, and not to dispute such "irrelevant" issues. If we are not free, why then can we express our opinion (in the majority of cases) so easily and without any troubles?The current book turns upon the Parable of the Grand Inquisitor, told by the Russian writer Dostoyevsky. After so many disasters that occurred in the 20th century, it is time to recall this legend and to ask together with the writer, "Do people have the disposition to withdraw from their freedom in order to gain more material goods, or pleasures, or security?" Why choose freedom over security? Having in mind the emergence, and even the (relative) success of totalitarian political movements and regimes, such as National-socialism, Communism and Fascism, we must admit that the scientific and technological progress, the variety of democratic constitutions, and all charters of human rights that we have now in the world, do not secure the presence of freedom.

The Immoral Situation of Abortion and In Vitro Fertilization

The Immoral Situation of Abortion and In Vitro Fertilization

On the one hand, the percentage of infertility among young couples is increasing; on the other hand, there are many ways to "produce" children in an artificial, "technological" way. The latter option seems tempting. Technologies today are seen as substitutes for many human activities; they take the role of human beings with the aim to "improve" our well-being. Methods such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) demonstrate that people today rely too much on technologies to solve their problems. Of course, there are couples honestly believing that in vitro procedures are safe and do not violate any principle of morality. This lack of knowledge is thus part of the problem: we are surrounded by an ocean of information, this "ocean" being full of every type of idea, theory, conception, and so forth. But the information regarding in vitro fertilization is "filtered." It is often subjected to censorship, or is distorted in such a way as to show that in vitro procedures are completely "safe" and that this procedure only yields positive effects for the couples and the society as a whole. The present book will show that things are not that simple: artificial methods employed for reproduction are often harmful and are always immoral.

There are some people in this world that just seem to "get" it. This phrase might seem a bit cliche or trite. Yet it becomes clear to those who experience this type of person that a close connection with the Creator and fresh perspective on life are the keys to this holy kind of contentment.
