Fate………is now seconds closer. Time to ponder life’s questions: Does God exist? Just ask a cell biologist, the Japanese ophthalmologist who fainted, or a listener to Bach's Erbarme dich, mein Gott. This book's 25 God topics exhibit Beauty, Order, Coding, and/or Design. Even Fate is designed…now closer! Come see the evidence for God. Why am I here on Earth? It depends: ➔ If God is a myth to you, then live like a tourist and pay the Fate fee later. But postpone the carefree lifestyle until you consider Pascal’s Wager within. ➔ If you believe that God exists, then live like a pilgrim with the enclosed Street Map to Heaven in hand. It leads you to a destiny that no eye has seen nor ear has heard. Pure joy! How do I get to Heaven? Glad you asked. Jesus answers with the Mark 16:16 verse – presented here as an eternity map. So your journey is clearly laid out, and it’s an easy yoke with Jesus beside you. Come run the map’s 8 streets… with Christ and to Christ. That is, if eternal happiness is your thing. Author's promise➔ A Christian book is a labor of love when it takes thousands of hours to produce it, it's granted an Imprimatur by the Catholic Church, and all author royalties are promised to be given to the poor. This is such a book. Rest in these thoughts, and in the adventure described within on our most precious Catholic faith. Come, and you will see.

An updated and expanded edition of the gritty, challenging, and utterly captivating portait of the homeless crisis. Ever Wonder What it Would Be Like to Live Homeless? Mike Yankoski did more than just wonder. By his own choice, Mike's life went from upper-middle class plush to scum-of-the-earth repulsive overnight. With only a backpack, a sleeping bag and a guitar, Mike and his traveling companion, Sam, set out to experience life on the streets in six different cities—from Washington D.C. to San Diego— and they put themselves to the test. For more than five months the pair experienced firsthand the extreme pains of hunger, the constant uncertainty and danger of living on the streets, exhaustion, depression, and social rejection—and all of this by their own choice. They wanted to find out if their faith was real, if they could actually be the Christians they said they were apart from the comforts they’d always known…to discover first hand what it means to be homeless in America. What you encounter in these pages will radically alter how you see your world—and may even change your life.

An expert on early Christianity reveals how the early church invented stories of Christian martyrs—and how this persecution myth persists today. According to church tradition and popular belief, early Christians were systematically persecuted by a brutal Roman Empire intent on their destruction. As the story goes, vast numbers of believers were thrown to the lions, tortured, or burned alive because they refused to renounce Christ. But as Candida Moss reveals in The Myth of Persecution, the “Age of Martyrs” is a fiction. There was no sustained 300-year-long effort by the Romans to persecute Christians. Instead, these stories were pious exaggerations; highly stylized rewritings of Jewish, Greek, and Roman noble death traditions; and even forgeries designed to marginalize heretics, inspire the faithful, and fund churches. The traditional story of persecution is still invoked by church leaders, politicians, and media pundits who insist that Christians were—and always will be—persecuted by a hostile, secular world. While violence against Christians does occur in select parts of the world today, the rhetoric of persecution is both misleading and rooted in an inaccurate history of the early church. By shedding light on the historical record, Moss urges modern Christians to abandon the conspiratorial assumption that the world is out to get them.
