What happens to a culture when it’s most basic assumptions are questioned and rejected, but no new ones are offered to replace them? This book critically analyzes anti-modernist philosophy, the (perhaps futile) attempt to recover traditional worldviews and belief systems in order to cope with the void of meaning engendered by the upheavals of modernity. The textual focus of this book is interwar Germany, as it provides a dramatic and relatively recent example of cultural crisis, with a rich philosophical literature. The writings of Heidegger, Junger, Spengler, and others are discussed in detail. Key themes will be applied to our contemporary post-modern condition as well. The book examines the dangers of anti-modernism, both past and the present, but also discusses some of its implicit appeals.

You are invited on a journey into faith so that you can live a life of faith. It is a journey into God and the fullness of the life He offers. As we draw near to God, we can come with the full expectation that He will pour faith into our lives. Author Phil Pringle reminds us of the vital principle that faith is what God responds to. Throughout the Scriptures, faith is highlighted as the necessary ingredient for a close relationship with God, meaningful service for Him, and a fulfilling life. If we are on the path of faith, then our destination is sure—a life saved by the work of Christ, the fulfillment of our God-given dreams on earth, and a joyful eternity with our heavenly Father. Let’s get started on the journey!

Due to government secrecy, the public never learned of the numerous UFO incursions at strategic nuclear weapons installations where they disabled ICBM missiles and even activated their launch codes. They never heard about UFO encounters reported by police officers, civilian and military pilots and astronauts, and they were never told the real facts of the Roswell event. The volume of evidence suggesting we are not alone, and probably never have been, is overwhelming. It suggests an alien agenda to accelerate the evolution of the human race. To understand what is happening requires knowledge of what is going on today as well as the past, particularly during the biblical era. Much has been learned through the Freedom of Information Act, from whistleblowers, and government and military officials. This book connects the dots suggesting what aliens have been doing for the past several thousand years.
