In her most soulful and side-splitting send-up of church life yet, Pat G'Orge-Walker's hilarious cast of parishioners battle their worst vices, the funny and serious sides of aging, and each other. . . Mother Sasha Pray Onn and Mother Bea Blister live on the edge--of Christianity, that is. As senior matrons of the Ain't Nobody Saved but Us-All Others Goin' to Hell church, their devotion to the Lord must compete with their secret passions for gambling, long-held grudges, and their jealousy of Sister Betty. Both Mothers are put to the test when Reverend Bling Moe Bling gives them two tickets to Las Vegas, where they'll be attending the Mothers Board Conference with Sister Betty. As their bickering, gambling and chaos ensues, redemption will be no small miracle in the city of sin. "Christian comedy fiction at its best." --Library Journal
He who does not take the step of faith and enter upon the road to heaven will perish. It will be an awful thing to die close to, but yet outside the gate of life. Almost saved, but altogether lost! This is the most terrible of positions. A man just outside Noah’s ark would have drowned; a murderer close to the wall of the city of refuge, but outside of it, would be slain; and the man who is within a yard of Christ but has not trusted him will be lost. Therefore, I am in terrible earnest to get my hesitating friends over the threshold. Come in! Come in! is my pressing plea. Why dost thou stand outside? is my solemn inquiry (Genesis 24:31). May the Holy Spirit render my pleadings effective with many who read these pages! May he cause his own almighty power to create faith in the soul at once. My reader, if God blesses this book to you, do the writer this favor – either lend your own copy to someone who is lingering at the gate or buy another and give it away, for his great desire is that this little volume should be of service to many thousands of souls. To God this book is commended, for without his grace nothing will come of all that is written. – C. H. Spurgeon
In 'Saved from the Sea; Or, The Loss of the Viper, and her Crew's Saharan Adventures' by William Henry Giles Kingston, readers are taken on a thrilling maritime journey filled with adventure and survival. The book is written in a descriptive and engaging literary style, allowing the reader to vividly imagine the harrowing experiences of the characters. Set in the rich literary context of maritime fiction in the 19th century, Kingston's work stands out for its detailed portrayal of the dangers at sea and the resilience of the human spirit. The story is not only about survival but also about the bond formed among the crew members in the face of adversity. William Henry Giles Kingston, a British naval officer turned author, drew upon his own experiences at sea to create a compelling narrative that captures the essence of maritime life. His firsthand knowledge of seafaring added authenticity to the story, making it a gripping and immersive read for readers of all ages. Kingston's background and expertise shine through in his meticulous depiction of nautical terms and practices, adding depth to the story. I highly recommend 'Saved from the Sea; Or, The Loss of the Viper, and her Crew's Saharan Adventures' to anyone interested in maritime literature, adventure stories, or historical fiction. Kingston's masterful storytelling and attention to detail make this book a captivating read that will transport you to the high seas and keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Buster Keaton "can impress a weary world with the vitally important fact that life, after all, is a foolishly inconsequential affair," wrote critic Robert Sherwood in 1918. A century later Keaton, with his darkly comic "theater of the absurd," speaks to audiences like no other silent comedian. If you thought you knew Keaton--think again!
A story told by Theology Professor, Steven Alexander who was raised in a Christian home not buying into the salvation offered by Christ, unveiling the last days of Satan's pretense to sway from God's truth. He relates his experience of being left behind after the rapture, including the ordeals from rejecting the mark of the beast, 666, during the tribulation. As Steven's story unfolds he gives an accounting of the rise and fall of Satan, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet; telling it within the context of regret of not having accepting Christ when he had the chance. He now must endure the facing of a world without the Holy Spirit and in an existence of a world which God has allowed Satan full authority until his appointed days are over.

In this seminal volume, contemporary theologians revisit the theological ethics of Karl Barth as it bears on such topics as the moral significance of Jesus Christ, the Christian as ethical agent, the just war theory, the relationship between doctrines of the atonement and modern penal justice systems, the virtues and limits of democracy, and the difference between an economy of competition and possession and an economy of grace.
