Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book helps Christian and secular culture alike understand the true heart and message of both Jesus Christ and His followers. It seeks a 'reformation' within our culture of what Christianity actually is. Namely that Jesus' message is one of love and not division, the Church an institution that protects and does not harm, the Gospel is a truth that is essential to daily life and spirituality, not irrelevant. Using Augustinian and Barthian theology this book presents the truth that just like you and I are composed of flesh and blood, God is literally composed of love. This eternal nature of love is revealed in the name Jesus Christ and this self-revelation of God is the message, mandate, and mission of the Church. In the quest to give an antidote to the identity crises plaguing modern Western Christianity, this book illuminates afresh and anew the classic Gospel message. Searching for God in Christianity translates theology into English, into the everyday, and in the process brings clarity and confidence to people's journey with God.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. What is a Half-Jew? Neither this nor that. Practically synonymous with confusion, Half-Jew is a term for people stuck in no-man's land, not quite fitting in with Gentiles nor universally accepted as Jews. Some say there is no such thing, denying many their legitimate heritage and innate pull toward the same culture, ancestry and religious equivalence as those with Jewish matrilineage. Those born of a Jewish father and non-Jewish mother are often lost, searching for a true identity. D.M. Miller makes a compelling case to prove the doubters wrong. In analyzing religious arguments, medical and genetic studies, history and ancestry, this intimate part-memoir tells the personal story of one woman determined to eradicate the stigma, unravel the misunderstandings and come to terms with what identity is or isn't through her unique perspective as a Half-Jew.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Told in a compilation of essays and poems, this book encapsulates one man's journey- and the quest of each of us-to become the very best person possible in the years and months we have left. The goal is to become SanViejo (Saint Old Guy), or the feminine version SantaVieja. Along the road there are profound realizations: Forgiveness was invented because it had to be.

This book will have you pondering the infinite one moment, and howling out loud with laughter the next. He will tell you about the All Pretty Girl Orchestra in Manila and the heartbreak of turning into a werewolf. He was on the barricades in Moscow when Gorbachev was kidnapped and communism crumbled. He took one for the team, getting kissed on the mouth by the Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Kazakhstan.
