Adam, Where Are You?
by F. L. RodriguezAdam, Where Are You? Come Out From Under Your Cover Not all that appears to be good is of God unless you know the true spirit of its intent, its motive – its purpose. Adam, Where are You? is a genesis question. It requires an honest answer in order to uncover the true spiritual condition of our soul. God asks this question because the conflicts that we face are due to the lack of communication that causes division; and yet it is not with others, but rather within ourselves. As long as we remain under our cover, we simply do not know and understand ourselves as well as we think. We cover ourselves because we don&’t know and understand the heart of God that is found under His covering. Join in this journey of the soul to understand the answer to God&’s question; to reveal our true intentions and to discover the truth of God&’s loving intentions for us – His purpose.
Adam: First And The Last
by Simon TurpinAre you prepared to defend the biblical account of Adam as a living man formed by God? Many theologians, pastors, and philosophers now teach that the Adam we find in Genesis was a myth, story, or parable. In Adam: First and the Last, Simon Turpin – Ex. Director of Answers in Genesis, UK/ Europe, reveals why understanding Adam to have been the first man created is critical for a consistent theological understanding of the biblical message of creation, the fall, and redemption. “If you deny the ‘First Adam,’ not only do you deny the sufficiency of Scripture and undermine its authority, but you ultimately attack the life, teaching, and person of the ‘Last Adam,’ our Lord Jesus Christ.” Ken Ham, CEO of The Ark Encounter, Creation Museum, & Answers in Genesis The very teachings of Jesus regarding creation and the flood are being attacked on the basis that, because of His human nature, there was error in some of His teaching. The theory of biological evolution, though lacking evidence, is why many reject Adam as a historical individual or see him as anything other than the originating head of the human race. The church is facing a crisis because too few of her people and leaders understand the consequences of combining the Bible and evolution. Sadly today, more and more evangelical Christian scholars are having to redefine passages of Scripture because they have adopted the idea of evolution and millions of years into their thinking. These questions may be the biggest doctrinal issues facing our generation, and the church’s attitude toward them could be a defining moment in Christianity. Adam: First and the Last will prepare you, your family, and your church to stand against today’s false teachers and strengthen your faith in the infallible Word of God. Turpin offers a true biblical apologetic that will be used for decades and even centuries to help the Body of Christ hold fast to their confession of faith without wavering (Hebrews 10:23).
Adam: God's Beloved
by Henri J. M. NouwenIn the final year before his death in 1996, Henri Nouwen began to write an account of the death of his friend Adam, a severely handicapped young man from the L'Arche Daybreak Community. In the story of Adam he found a way to describe his own understanding of the Gospel message. Adam could not speak or even move without assistance. Gripped by frequent seizures, he spent his life in obscurity. And yet, for Nouwen, he became "my friend, my teacher, and my guide." It was Adam who led Nouwen to a new understanding of his faith and what it means to be Beloved of God. Through this story, Nouwen found a new way to tell God's story and the story of all of us human creatures, broken and yet beloved, who live in a world charged and alive with the mystery of God's love. Completed only weeks before Nouwen's own death, Adam became a final, precious gift, a fitting reflection of his own message and legacy.
Adams Vs. God: The Rematch
by Adams, PhillipAt the age of six, Phillip Adams stopped believing in God. A lonesome traveler for decades, he has found that atheism is suddenly fashionable and the ranks of disbelievers are swelling. Picking up where Adams vs. God left off, Adams has collected his best essays on God and godlessness in this irreverent, Bible-thumping book. Guided by a sceptic's curiosity, he has travelled the highways of Catholicism, Islam and creationism and delved into a cosmos of multiple big bangs and religious quackery. In all, he's found little to recommend in either the missionary position or in a globalised God. Adams vs. God: The Rematch is a book for our times. From George W Bush to Kevin Rudd, from the deep north of Queensland to the deep south of the USA, Phillip Adams exposes the links between religion and politics and the fanaticism of ideologies as causes of conflict in the world.

Adaptate En Cualquier Situación
by Dada Bhagwan¿Acaso nos quejamos a la alcantarilla cuando ésta huele mal? De la misma manera, hay gente que es desagradable y negativa como una alcantarilla. Todo lo que huele mal lo llamamos alcantarilla y a todo lo que huela bien lo llamamos una flor. Adáptate a ambos olores. Estas dos situaciones te están diciendo : “Conviértete en un Vitraag (en un ser libre de apego y de aversión) con nosotros (el mal y el buen olor)” Todos nosotros nos hemos tenido que adaptar muchas veces en nuestra vida a circunstancias desagradables. Por ejemplo, utilizamos un paragüa cuando llueve. Cuando llueve no nos ponemos a discutir o a luchar contra la lluvia. De la misma forma , tanto si nos gusta estudiar como si no, tenemos que adaptarnos y ponernos a estudiar. .Pero, cuando encontramos a una persona difícil , no sólo no la cuestionamos, discutiendo u oponiéndonos a ella, sino que incluso acabamos generando un conflicto con ella ¿Por qué ocurre esto? Param Pujya Dadashri (maestro de la ciencia espiritual) nos reveló la siguiente verdad ; “ ADAPTATE A CUALQUIER SITUACION” como la fórmula definitiva para ayudarnos a resolver todas las circunstancias que constantemente están cambiando , previniendo así conflictos lo que a su vez nos proveerá de paz y de felicidad. Esta frase tan sencilla pero a la vez tan poderosa tiene el poder de cambiar tu vida,... sigue leyendo para ver cómo se hace.
Adapte-se A Tudo
by Dada BhagwanSerá que reclamamos quando um esgoto cheira? Da mesma maneira as pessoas que são desagradáveis ??e negativas são como os esgotos. Tudo que cheire mal, nós chamamos de esgoto e tudo o que cheira bem chamamos de flor. Adapte-se a ambos. Ambas as situações estão dizendo: “Torne-se Vitarag (sem qualquer apego ou aversão) conosco”. Você sofre por causa de suas opiniões sobre o bem e o mal. Você deve mantê-las sob controle. Quando dizemos que algo é bom, outras coisas por comparação tornam-se más e começam a nos incomodar. Se nós nos colocamos acima das opiniões, boas ou más, não há sofrimento. ’Adaptar-se a Tudo’ é minha sugestão. Não importa o que as pessoas digam, seja verdade ou não, devemos nos adaptar. Se alguém me diz que eu não tenho noção, eu me adapto imediatamente, dizendo: “Você está certo. Eu sempre fui um pouco lento. Você só percebeu isso hoje, enquanto eu tenho conhecimento disso desde minha infância.” Se você responder assim vai evitar o conflito. Eles nunca irá incomodá-lo novamente. Se você não se adaptar, quando você vai chegar a ’sua casa’ (moksha, libertação do ciclo de nascimento e morte)? Com os pais e as crianças há ajustes a cada passo do caminho. Se nós adaptarmos com compreensão, haverá paz e não vamos vincular qualquer karma. Se não nos adaptarmos às pessoas ao nosso redor, vamos convidar problemas. Esta estratégia de ’Adapte-se a tudo’ é a chave mestra do Dadashri, que abre todas as portas na vida. Se usarmos a máxima de ouro do Gnani Purush Dadashri ’Adapte-se a tudo’ e a aplicarmos em nossa vida, então nossa vida cotidiana se tornará bela.

Adara
by Beatrice Gormley"The soldier heaved me over his shoulder as if I were a spring lamb. I am not Israelite!" I screamed, beat his back, hurting my hands. "Let me go." Adara has always longed to do the things that well-brought-up girls of her time are not supposed to do. She wants to learn to read and write -- like men. And she wants the freedom to travel -- like men -- outside the boundaries of her sheltered life. One day she awakens to a blast of trumpets as the Israelites and Arameans battle just outside the safety of her village walls. Curious, Adara sneaks out to see the battle. Little does she know that this will be her last day of freedom for a very long time. Sold into slavery, Adara becomes a servant to General Namaan and his family and begins a remarkable journey of self-discovery, healing, and redemption -- a journey that, in the end, faces her with the hardest decision of her life.
