Prayer and the Struggle Against Evil

By: Alexander Ryrie,Daniel Lloyd,James Ramsay,John Barton

Fairacres Publications 190 None of us need reminding that terrible situations exist and horrific events happen in the world around us. We need only to open our newspapers or turn on our televisions to hear of war and violence, or situations of injustice and oppression, or acts of crime or terrorism. When we are confronted by such things, the word ‘evil’ comes readily to our lips. We sense that events and situations of this kind are not just unfortunate and regrettable: they have a different character which we can only describe as evil. Such evil deeds and situations have been a part of human life throughout history, and we seem to be unable to do anything about them. We can, and indeed should act, however, and we can pray. This book asks us to confront the reality of evil in the world and use our ability to change the world around us with the power of prayer.

Wonderful Exchange

An Exploration of Silent Prayer

By: Alexander Ryrie

Alexander Ryrie has written an utterly simple, yet eminently practical introduction to the process and eperience of silent prayer, a way of praying that helps us be more in touch with our inner selves and God within. Drawing especially from the Orthodox tradition of the Christian East, and sharing his own experiences, he describes aspects of the process so that those who already engage in silent prayer may enter more fully into it, while invinting newcomers who have not approached prayer in this way. Although he divides the book into chapters, the author emphasizes that silent prayer cannot be broken down into different stages or steps that follow one another. To that end he first describes the different kinds of silence, then offers practical methods of practicing silent prayer, the importance of "entering ourselves" and encountering God, which are reciprocal and inseparable aspects of the same activity. He points out, finally the practical aspects of silent prayer for our lives. Each chapter is followed by short quotations from Orthodox writers that illustrate points made in the chapters.

The Prayer of Silence

By: Alexander Ryrie

Fairacres Publications 172 The cultivation of an inner life of prayer has always formed an essential part of the Christian way. Many long for silence and stillness, yet the words ‘contemplative prayer’ can seem to denote some specialist method of prayer. Sandy Ryrie, using the more accessible phrase ‘prayer of silence’, draws on Church tradition and on his own experience to describe this wordless way of praying.

Prayer of the Heart

An Approach to Silent Prayer and Prayer in the Night

By: Alexander Ryrie

Fairacres Publications 124 Using the words of the Russian Orthodox spiritual teacher, St Theophan, that in prayer we should ‘stand with the mind in the heart’, Sandy Ryrie explains how to use short phrases to still the mind and enable us to rest with our attention set on God. In standing before God, we open ourselves to God’s work in us. The author then explores the particular situation of night prayer. In hours of darkness and sleeplessness, we are vulnerable to the anxieties and fears which daytime activity sometimes holds at bay, but at night the spirit may also become more aware of the reality of God and more ready to pray.

RIGGED FOR THE JOURNEY

By: Ronald R. Alexander

Many Christians understand what they believe about salvation, but they rarely know why they believe what they believe. In order to have a sure foundation to weather the storms of untruth being generated in our culture today, it is imperative that Christians work through their own salvation using a genuine source of truth. Rigged for the Journey is a book that will help all Christians work through their salvation and understand their position, progression, and perfection in Christ utilizing a biblical foundation. It will help believers look at life from God’s perspective as they seek to life for Christ on this side of Heaven.

James VI, Britannic Prince

King of Scots and Elizabeth’s Heir, 1566–1603

By: Alexander Courtney

By drawing upon recent scholarship, original manuscript materials, and previously unpublished sources, this new biography presents an analytical narrative of King James VI & I’s life from his birth in 1566 to his accession to the throne of England and Ireland in 1603. The only son of Mary Stuart and heir (apparent but not uncontested) to Elizabeth I, James VI of Scotland was, from the moment of his birth, a focal point of countervailing hopes and fears for the confessional and dynastic future of the kingdoms of the British Isles. This study examines material from across the UK and beyond, as well as the newly deciphered letters of Mary, Queen of Scots, to reveal James as a highly capable, resourceful, deeply provocative and ruthless political actor. Analysis of James’s own writings is integrated within the narrative, providing fresh insights into the king’s inventive tactical engagement in the politics of publicity. Through a chronological approach, the events of his life are linked to wider issues associated with the early modern court, government, religion, and political and ideological conflict. James VI, Britannic Prince is of interest to all scholars of Scottish and British history in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.

Time and the Biblical Bang

The One Biblical Story from Perspectives of God’S Eternal Nowness

By: Charles Alexander

A new treatment of time clarifies remarkable Second Reformation revelations regarding the meaning of time in relation to the one biblical story. Surprising interpretations emerge when this story is viewed from perspectives of Gods Eternal Nowness and creations unchanging principles. Here are some questions that emerge: ETERNAL LIFE: ANNIHILATION OR ETERNAL HELL? ARE NDEs REALLY PROOF OF LIFE AFTER DEATH? CAN GOD COME LONGSIDE SEVEN BILLION PEOPLE ALL AT ONCE? WHY WERE ADAM AND EVE SO EXTREMELY BRIGHT? WHY DOES A MODERN VIEW OF TIME DENY THE EXISTENCE OF PURGATORY AND UNIVERSALISM? WHAT WAS GOD DOING ON EASTER SATURDAY? SHOULD WE THINK OF THE BIBLE STORY UNDER A NEW PARADIGM? PREDESTINATION: HOW WERE ALL THE REFORMERS WRONG? WOMEN IN MINISTRY TODAY? DOES JESUS REALLY HAVE AUTHENTIC COMPETITORS? WHY ARE THERE MORE MIRACLES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT? WHAT DO SIGNS AND WONDERS MEAN FOR TODAY? WHY ARE A VERY LARGE PERCENTAGE OF SCIENTISTS TURNING TOWARDS THE CREDIBILITY OF A HIGHLY INTELLIGENT CREATOR? WHAT WAS JESUS ATTITUDE TOWARDS CURRENT SOCIAL ISSUES? ACCORDING TO JESUS, WHY ARE THE PAROUSIA AND LATTER DAYS VERY, VERY CLOSE RIGHT NOW? WHY DO HISTORIC CHURCHES INSIST ON A WRONG VIEW OF ORDERS? WAS THE FIRST AND SECOND CENTURY CHURCH HIERARCHICAL? HOW DOES THE ENTIRE BIBLICAL STORY POINT TO JESUS?

The Photosynthetic Membrane

By: Alexander V. Ruban

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Photosynthetic Membrane

Molecular Mechanisms and Biophysics of Light Harvesting

By: Alexander V. Ruban

The proteins that gather light for plant photosynthesis are embedded within cell membranes in a site called the thylakoid membrane (or the "photosynthetic membrane"). These proteins form the light harvesting antenna that feeds with energy a number of vital photosynthetic processes such as water oxidation and oxygen evolution, the pumping of protons across the thylakoid membranes coupled with the electron transport chain of the photosystems and cytochrome b6f complex, and ATP synthesis by ATP synthase utilizing the generated proton gradient. The Photosynthetic Membrane: Molecular Mechanisms and Biophysics of Light Harvesting is an introduction to the fundamental design and function of the light harvesting photosynthetic membrane, one of the most common and most important structures of life. It describes the underlying structure of the membrane, the variety and roles of the membrane proteins, the atomic structures of light harvesting complexes and their macromolecular assemblies, the molecular mechanisms and dynamics of light harvesting and primary energy transformations, and the broad range of adaptations to different light environments. The book shows, using the example of the photosynthetic membrane, how complex biological structures utilize principles of chemistry and physics in order to carry out biological functions. The Photosynthetic Membrane: Molecular Mechanisms of Light Harvesting will appeal to a wide audience of undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers working in the fields of biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, plant science and bioengineering.

Mary and Philip

The marriage of Tudor England and Habsburg Spain

By: Alexander Samson

The co-monarchy of Mary I and Philip II put England at the heart of early modern Europe. This positive reassessment of their joint reign counters a series of parochial, misogynist and anti-Catholic assumptions, correcting the many myths that have grown up around the marriage and explaining the reasons for its persistent marginalisation in the historiography of sixteenth-century England. Using new archival discoveries and original sources, the book argues for Mary as a great Catholic queen, while fleshing out Philip’s important contributions as king of England. It demonstrates the many positive achievements of this dynastic union in everything from culture, music and art to cartography, commerce and exploration. An important corrective for anyone interested in the history of Tudor England and Habsburg Spain.

Mental Health Nursing

Applying Theory to Practice

By: Gylo (Julie) Hercelinskyj,Louise Alexander

Mental Health Nursing: Applying Theory to Practice is a new Australian text combining a theoretical approach to mental health nursing with clinical reasoning and a practical framework for real-life nursing situations. Ideal for both clinical and theory mental health course units, the text was developed with input from consumers and clinicians, and includes the clinical manifestations, impacts, treatment and management of persons suffering from mental illness. Chapters on suicide and self-harm, and Mental Health First Aid provide detailed coverage of these contemporary mental health issues, while a chapter on mental state examination (MSE) comprehensively explores MSE in a style similar to a traditional psychiatry text and in the context of many different mental health conditions, giving students multiple perspectives of presentations. Critical thinking and review questions challenge students to apply theory to practice, and pharmacology is discussed in each disorder-chapter, helping students to contextualise their learning. With coverage of the Mental Health Act (2014), and criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) integrated throughout, the text equips students with a working understanding of major mental health disorders, and the ability to work practically when engaging with persons suffering from mental illness. New, print versions of this book come with bonus online study tools on the CourseMate Express and Search Me! Nursing platforms.

Biophysical Thermodynamics of Intracellular Processes

Molecular Machines of the Living Cell

By: Lev A. Blumenfeld,Alexander N. Tikhonov

This book is aimed at a large audience: from students, who have a high school background in physics, mathematics, chemistry, and biology, to scien tists working in the fields of biophysics and biochemistry. The main aim of this book is to attempt to describe, in terms of physical chemistry and chemi cal physics, the peculiar features of "machines" having molecular dimen sions which play a crucial role in the most important biological processes, viz., energy transduction and enzyme catalysis. One of the purposes of this book is to analyze the physical background of the high efficiency of molecu lar machines functioning in the living cell. This book begins with a brief review of the subject (Chapter 1). Macro molecular energy-transducing complexes operate with thermal, chemical, and mechanical energy, therefore the appropriate framework to discuss the functioning of biopolymers comes from thermodynamics and chemical kinet ics. That is why we start our analysis with a consideration of the conventional approaches of thermodynamics and classical chemical kinetics, and their application to the description of bioenergetic processes (Chapter 2). Critical analysis of these approaches has led us to the conclusion that the conven tional approaches of physical chemistry to the description of the functioning of individual macromolecular devices, in many cases, appear to be incom plete. This prompted us to consider the general principles ofliving machinery from another point of view.

Deliver Us from Evil

Reading the Psalms as Poetry

By: A. C. Ryrie

Alexander Ryrie offers an exciting way of using the Psalms in our spiritual lives, rooted in both scholarship and a sympathetic feel for the literary genius of the psalmists. While they have been interpreted in many ways over the years, recent interest in the Bible as literature has opened a fresh approach to the Psalms as poems addressed to God, in which truth is expressed largely through poetic images. Ryrie’s sensitive analysis reveals the extraordinary intimacy of the relationship with God as experienced by the writers of the Hebrew Bible, and the roots of a historic faith that is based on an awareness of the abiding presence of God and a personal relationship with the Creator, rather than on law or obedience.
