A Biblical Understanding of Transgenderism
Short Description:
Are Christians prepared to answer the challenges that accompany transgender ideology? Can we clearly defend our beliefs? Do we understand what the transgender community believes? Transitioning introduces the reader to transgender ideology while providing a Biblical framework for evaluating it. Clear and concise, Transitioning is a must-read primer on the subject of transgenderism for every Christian.
Long Description:
Countries are aggressively incorporating transgenderism into their country’s official ideology. We find ourselves on the cusp of being legally required to accept an individual’s personal feelings over objective truth and scientific data. Already, failure to embrace such personal feelings can lead to social ostracism, loss of employment, and discrimination lawsuits. Corporations and political leaders around the world seem determined to impose a celebration of transgenderism upon the people regardless of their preferences. However, with this embrace of transgender ideology comes a host of unsettling questions. The logic undergirding transgender ideology is incompatible with the logic undergirding many societal laws and protections. A crisis of ideology is brewing.
Are we as Christians prepared to answer the challenges that accompany transgender ideology? Can we clearly defend our beliefs? Do we understand what the transgender community believes? Transitioning introduces the reader to transgender ideology while providing a Biblical framework for evaluating it. Clear and concise, Transitioning is a must-read primer on the subject of transgenderism for every Christian.

Short Description:
Humans across the globe and throughout millennia have searched for answers to questions like, "why are we here?" or "what am I supposed to do with my life?"And the answers people have found, or created, or chosen, have varied as widely as the cultures and people themselves. Some people focus on rules. Some focus on afterlives. Some look to become whole. Some seek adventure and learning.So this text, while full of various ways that people have searched and discovered and created, is only touching a few of the bigger traditions in our world. Hopefully each chapter will introduce the reader to some ideas from that specific tradition that enlighten them as to how a specific group of people think, believe, and live.This text is set up to be an ebook. The various videos, links and resources will only really work if the user keeps to the digital format. Read this book on a device or computer--it will be a much more rewarding experience! The translation to a pdf is less than successful, font sizes are erratic, which is not the case in the ebook, unfortunately, and printing this book will make for a very large and cumbersome chunk of paper!

A memoir
Short Description:
There was a girl who was born blind but had an operation that gave her some sight. She went to the Foundation for the Blind for low vision children. When she started to be taught Braille, it was quite frustrating as she could see the Braille with her eyes more than she could feel it with her fingers. Later on she was able to live a full and independent life. That little girl was me and this is my story.

Zombie Apocalypse: Holy Land, Haiti, Hollywood explores the intellectual and cultural histories of two highly influential and essentially religious ideas, that of the zombie and that of the apocalypse. The former is a modern idea rooted in Haitian Vodou and its popular African and European religious antecedents, while the latter is an ancient one rooted in Zoroastrianism and the Bible and widely expanded in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and is arguably one of the most influential ideas in world history. Today the merger of the zombie and the apocalypse has pervaded popular culture, with the zombie surpassing the vampire and Frankenstein as the most prolific monster in popular American consciousness.
Drawing on biblical studies, African studies, Caribbean studies, and the sociology and history of religion, Parts I (Holy Land) and II (Haiti) explore the religious origins of these ideas. Part III (Hollywood) uses aspects of cultural studies, literary analysis, critical race theory, and cinema studies to document the (primarily) American obsession with the zombie and the zombie apocalypse.
The apocalypse and the zombie have been momentous intellectual, historical, and cultural realities and social forces in both very ancient and very recent human history and culture. As such, Zombie Apocalypse provides a focused analysis of certain fundamental aspects of human existence. It challenges readers to cultivate their critical thinking skills while learning about two of the most compelling notions in human religious history and the impact they continue to have.
