In this book we have collected counsels and commandments from the New Testament, recommendations for our talk and walk in this world. Many Christians read magazines, Bible commentaries and other things; but reading the Bible by itself, they hardly get to do that. And that though the Bible itself gives us the advice to long for the pure 'milk', as many of us are still babies in the faith. The Bible verses contained in this work are however also meant for those Christians that are already longer on their way to the heavenly City. For them the advice holds, from the Bible itself, that the Word of the Lord 'live richly among you'. May this work serve as an incentive to pay more attention to the bestseller of all times. The Lord Jesus said that 'he that has my commandments and keeps them, he it is that loves me and he that loves me will be loved by my Father and I will love him and I will reveal Myself to him' (John 14. 21). Hence this book!
The present book contains a course to learn the Greek of the New Testament. 42 lessons are given; every 7th lesson is a repetition. Thanks to modern computer programmes we can offer a unique method, as it was possible to order a vast number of data, so as to present them in a useful fashion. An assimilating learning technique is used. That is to say, one is immersed immediately into the Greek of the N.T., also called Koine. At first one learns simple phrases. Later on these become complete sentences. In this way the student gets used to the Greek of the New Testament from the beginning and gradually is trained to advance. Most grammar and vocabulary has been worked into the sentences and learning those one gets acquainted with the Greek in a playful way. This ia a very useful and commendable book for the beginner of New Testament Greek. For enough grammar and words are learned to set one on his or her way towards reading the New Testament by oneself.
Everyone knows that the brain is responsible for our smarts and the spinal cord holds us up, but students may be surprised to learn how much more these powerhouses are responsible for. Together they control the nervous system. Without them, we would not be able to think, remember, digest nutrients, breathe, blink, swallow, and so much more. Featuring clear and arresting 3D illustrations, this volume takes readers through the brain and spinal cord, covering their parts and functions, and serves as a comprehensive introduction to the human body.
Understanding Physiotherapy Research by Littlewood and May is an introductory level text that aims to be accessible and understandable to all physiotherapists who appreciate the need to integrate research evidence into their practice. The requirement for physiotherapists to engage with evidence-based practice has never been more apparent and the benefits of such an approach are clear. Evidence derived from research is a cornerstone of evidence-based practice, but before such evidence can be incorporated into an evidence-based paradigm, it should be appraised and its trustworthiness and applicability considered. This means that evidence-based physiotherapy practitioners need to be aware of the inherent strengths and limitations of research studies and what these mean for their practice. However, this is not always a straightforward process and it is not uncommon for both novice and experienced physiotherapists to become lost in the language of research. To facilitate the evolution of evidence-based physiotherapy practice, this book aims to bridge the gap by presenting a clinically focused range of methodological discussions in relation to specific research study designs in physiotherapy. The intention of the book is to offer a platform upon which readers can develop their understanding of meaningful critical appraisal and consequently gain confidence when reading published research.
Providing everything the researcher, in a health care setting, needs to know about undertaking and completing a research project, this book provides detailed information about the various types of research projects that might be undertaken.
In this book an attempt is made to defend monotheism, particularly the Christian form of it, over against the other 'isms' such as deism, atheism, pantheism and polytheism. In doing so the author explains that the truth is a paradox of different aspects, which we tend to feel as a tension from which we want to break free. And this sets the stage for all kinds of untruth. They form even double and triple breaks away from the truth as the golden mean, the biblical happy medium; without a compromise, let it be noted, on the right or on the left. Secondly several sections are devoted to the role of revelation. It is argued that revelation and creation go hand in hand. And in this also theology plays a role.
Individual quality of life has been widely used as a frame of reference guiding service provision in social and health services, as well as a critical objective or outcome of these services. Yet, the topic of quality of life in the context of child and youth care remains a relatively uncharted territory. This dissertation is based on a practice-oriented project that focuses on bridging the gap between research and practice on the topic of quality of life of adolescents in youth care. This work concentrates on the development, validation, and application of a new self-report tool, grounded in youngsters’ experiences and perceptions, to methodically and systematically assess the quality of life of adolescents in youth care from their own perspectives: the Quality of Life in Youth Services Scale (QOLYSS). The QOLYSS aims to help understand how youngsters perceive, evaluate, and make sense of varying discrete aspects and circumstances of their lives. This line of work offers valuable insights to develop person-centered planning and implement individualized support, tailored to youngsters’ characteristics, perceptions of life, wishes, and expectations. It further helps unveil critical opportunities and barriers regarding a life of quality on the different layers of everyday life of youngsters. The work presented here provides a concrete tool and a number of cross-cutting implications for research, practice and policy when aiming to build quality of life-enhancing environments for youngsters in youth care that help them (re-)claim ownership of their lives and care pathways.

A completely rewritten and updated edition of this straw building classic. Straw bale houses are easy to build, affordable, super energy efficient, environmentally friendly, attractive, and can be designed to match the builder's personal space needs, esthetics, and budget. Despite mushrooming interest in the technique, however, most straw bale books focus on "selling" the dream of straw-bale building, but don't adequately address the most critical issues faced by bale house builders. Moreover, since many developments in this field are recent, few books are completely up to date with the latest techniques. More Straw Bale Building is designed to fill this gap. A completely rewritten edition of the 20,000-copy best-selling original, it leads the potential builder through the entire process of building a bale structure, tackling all the practical issues: finding and choosing bales; developing sound building plans; roofing; electrical, plumbing, and heating systems; building code compliance; and special concerns for builders in northern climates. New material includes: more extensive sections on electric wiring and plumbing updated sections on bale finishes and finishing a section on prefabricated straw bale walls a wider selection of case studies, photographs and illustrations a section on common mistakes budgeting for low-, medium- and high-cost projects, and new testing data that is in no other straw bale book. Down-to earth and complete, More Straw Bale Building makes the remarkable benefits of straw bale building available in the most comprehensive and practical book on the subject to date.

This study treats of the influence of pre-christian philosophy on early christian apologetics. Cicero's De Natura Deorum (On the Nature of the gods) and Octavius (an early christian book) are used to outline this phenomenon. Ignoring the quotes in Latin, it is still interesting reading for the student in philosophy and theology.

A plea for the Christian faith in the era of so-called Postmodernism. It introduces the term of autotheism as an analysis of the sin-sickness that has been upon us since the Fall of man. This essay begins with an attempt to arrange the main religions under common denominators and subsequently counters them with a Christian apology. It is a passionate plea for the christian faith in this so-called age of postmodernism, in which so many ideas and words have been hollowed out by misguided thinkers. It introduces the term of autotheism as an explanation of original sin as seen at work in the depths of our hearts and souls. Preface: Many people know Jesus only as a cuss word. The word sin is thought to be used by overly religious folks. The communists in the former USSR considered religion a disease to be treated in a re-education camp. Nobody has ever seen God. Yet the Bible claims that some did and talked about it. A loving God would not torture people in hell. Yet Christ Jesus warned about a fire in the afterlife that cannot be quenched. He cannot have talked about some coal fire. Therefore it must be some kind of soul fire. The 8 Main Ideas About God: Religions are summed up as being 8 in number; monotheism, mysticism, pantheism, polytheism, rationalism, agnostic materialism, the antireligion atheism and Satanism. The Christian form of monotheism is seen as the truth, from which the other isms deviate on the right and on the left, with Satanism as the nadir of depravity. Mysticism is seen as an overly emotional dedication of the soul, pantheism as too impersonal and polytheism as a hopeless attempt to please capricious gods. This as worsening forms of aberration on the right. On the left rationalism is an exaggeration of reason, agnostic materialism as a pursuit of goods and services that in the end cannot satisfy and atheism as a pluck-the-day philosophy that gives you no hope in the end. Satanism is a hate reaction against a God who is seen as totally unreasonable and evil is preached as a good in itself. But if Satan is to be our liberator, then the God of Judeo-Christianity is far more powerful; for He made his royal badness. And so Satanists can never hope to escape His fury. Why We Humans Are Lost In Ourselves: In the end every form of philosophy, religion, science and politics ends or at best takes on a new jacket. The heart of the problem is autotheism. We all want to play god in our worlds, big or small.
