The majority Evangelical view is that once someone has accepted Christ as Saviour they are guaranteed salvation. But is it safe to assume that once we are saved, we are saved for always? David Pawson investigates this through biblical evidence, historical figures such as Augustine, Luther and Wesley, and evangelical assumptions about grace and justification, divine sovereignty and human responsibility. He asks whether something more than being born again is required so that our inheritance is not lost. This book helps us decide whether ‘once saved, always saved’ is real assurance or a misleading assumption. The answer will have profound effects on the way we live and disciple others.

One can rightly say of Peter Sloterdijk that each of his essays and lectures is also an unwritten book. That is why the texts presented here, which sketch a philosophical physiognomy of Martin Heidegger, should also be characterized as a collected renunciation of exhaustiveness. In order to situate Heidegger's thought in the history of ideas and problems, Peter Sloterdijk approaches Heidegger's work with questions such as: If Western philosophy emerged from the spirit of the polis, what are we to make of the philosophical suitability of a man who never made a secret of his stubborn attachment to rural life? Is there a provincial truth of which the cosmopolitan city knows nothing? Is there a truth in country roads and cabins that would be able to undermine the universities with their standardized languages and globally influential discourses? From where does this odd professor speak, when from his professorial chair in Freiburg he claims to inquire into what lies beyond the history of Western metaphysics? Sloterdijk also considers several other crucial twentieth-century thinkers who provide some needed contrast for the philosophical physiognomy of Martin Heidegger. A consideration of Niklas Luhmann as a kind of contemporary version of the Devil's Advocate, a provocative critical interpretation of Theodor Adorno's philosophy that focuses on its theological underpinnings and which also includes reflections on the philosophical significance of hyperbole, and a short sketch of the pessimistic thought of Emil Cioran all round out and deepen Sloterdijk's attempts to think with, against, and beyond Heidegger. Finally, in essays such as "Domestication of Being" and the "Rules for the Human Park," which incited an international controversy around the time of its publication and has been translated afresh for this volume, Sloterdijk develops some of his most intriguing and important ideas on anthropogenesis, humanism, technology, and genetic engineering.

Succinctly and powerfully recounts the experiences of the author, a founding member of the Jewish Military Union, and important witness during the trial of Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann. (EJ 2007) “Because the author was a leader of a major Jewish political party in Poland he is able to give us an understanding of the historical and social conditions that preceded the holocaust and gave it its impetus. Because he is a trained psychiatrist, we get illuminating insights into the behavior of the individuals and the masses, both heroic and inhumanly brutal, that determined the tragic destiny of the Jews throughout Europe.”

I'm saved, so what's wrong with me? Have you ever asked yourself that question? At the moment of salvation, your spirit is made righteous before God. If you were to die, you'd go to heaven. But what about your soul? The soul is that part of you that you're left to deal with in your life after salvation. It's your mind, will and emotions-the part that thinks, imagines, remembers, feels and hurts. It is often forgotten, usually unaddressed, and it can remain vulnerable and in bondage to satan and his strategies making life and relationships miserable. That is, until you allow Jesus to address your hurts and wounds. Dr. Connie Borden endured the agony of a crushing childhood, producing a damaged soul. God raised that soul from the ashes of destruction, to become a soul "set free." She shares the path she took and developed to soul freedom on a daily basis with the clients in her Christian psychology practice, and now to the readers of this book. Before becoming a psychologist, Dr. Connie taught hundreds of children for eighteen years in both public and private educational systems, in addition to homeschooling her own (now adult) son. After achieving an earned doctorate and licensure as a Psychologist (TX), she and her husband Bill established Borden Psychological Services, P.A. (www.doctorconnie.com), and Totally Transformed Ministries (www.totallytransformed.org), to deliver the message of Saved But Not Free to their generation. Dr. Connie also minored in Theology earning enough credits to become an ordained minister with Evangelical Christian Alliance who commissioned her and sent her out to minister. "Dr. Connie's new book is indeed one about healing, deliverance and freedom of the soul area of our being...It is a must-read book about how satan through early rejection and abuse, can twist and confuse us with his evil lies and deception putting us in bondage. However, God can turn his wickedness into victory for thousands!" - Jon Eargle, Teacher, Author and Founder of Bridge Building Ministries Knoxville, Tennessee

John Green meets Stephen King in this original take on the zombie apocalypse by author T. Michael Martin, which ALA Booklist called "the best of the undead bunch" in a starred review. Seventeen-year-old Michael and his five-year-old brother, Patrick, have been battling monsters in the Game for weeks. In the rural mountains of West Virginia—armed with only their rifle and their love for each other—the brothers follow Instructions from the mysterious Game Master. They spend their days searching for survivors, their nights fighting endless hordes of "Bellows"—creatures that roam the dark, roaring for flesh. And at this Game, Michael and Patrick are very good. But the Game is changing. The Bellows are evolving. The Game Master is leading Michael and Patrick to other survivors—survivors who don't play by the rules. And the brothers will never be the same. T. Michael Martin's debut novel is a transcendent thriller filled with electrifying action, searing emotional insight, and unexpected romance.

In this volume the archaeological, anthropological and radiocarbon data from selected sites of the Middle Helladic period are integrated to determine if there was variation between individual burials, groupings and cemeteries and to reconstruct change through time. This work was done for selective Argive sites, namely Lerna, Asine and Aspis.
