God is up to something! And his plans are far greater than you might imagine. Christianity is not merely about isolated individuals going to heaven. It's about God transforming the entire world and making things right. Sicknesses will be healed, sins will be forgiven, injustice will be eradicated, and all creation will be redeemed. But this is not merely a distant future. It's happening now through what Jesus came to establish--the kingdom of God. Allen Wakabayashi reawakens you to the world-changing reality of the kingdom of God. With clear, biblical insight, he unpacks what Jesus proclaimed about the good news of the kingdom and spells out the implications for you today. Focusing on the kingdom of God will revolutionize how you live out your faith, how you think about your world and how you explain the good news about Jesus. Ultimately, understanding yourself as a citizen of the kingdom will empower you to be one of God's change agents in the world. God is at work to restore everything to be the way he intended it to be, and you can be a part of what he is doing! Get a glimpse of the kingdom coming, and experience his will being done--on earth as it is in heaven.

In recent years the theme of the kingdom of God has come to the forefront in the preaching, teaching, and popular writing of Christians of all theological persuasions. Any attempt to gain clarity on the biblical meaning of the phrase the "kingdom of God" must take the teaching of Jesus as its major point of reference; for the prominence of kingdom terminology today is directly attributable to the great frequency with which he appealed in his teaching to the notion of God's kingdom. In this little book, the author sets Jesus' proclamation of the kingdom of God against its Jewish background and discusses some of the characteristic emphases that appear in Jesus' message. He then identifies three broad ways in which God's kingdom operated in Jesus' ministry, which he suggests provide, at least in broad outline, an agenda for the Church today as it strives to bear witness to the "gospel of the kingdom" entrusted to it by its Lord.

2015. The United Kingdoms just discovered enough oil to guarantee prosperity for the next 100 years. The Government sees this as the final cog in its project to make the United Kingdom the enterprise capital of the world and to restore the countrys greatness. The only problem is that most of the oil lies off Scotland and Wales. And the Scots and Welsh want their share of the bonanza. Over the next six years, the United Kingdom descends into a spiral of conflict in which old nationalisms re-emerge and threaten to drag in European neighbours and the United States as the violence spills over beyond the countrys boundaries.

THE PROMISE OF 'KINGDOM COME' extends the cyclical style (metaphysical) of John O'Loughlin's philosophizing beyond where it left off with 'The Totality of Nature' (2000), investigating the dichotomy between sensuality and sensibility from a gender-specific standpoint in relation to the usual distinctions between will and spirit on the one hand, and ego and soul on the other, and outlining the terms of salvation and damnation for both males and females.

This is a story unlike any you've ever read. The ancient House of Kandle communicates across the Great Divide. Two messengers who speak as one have been sent from a bye gone world to inform us of things past and and warn us of things to come. Their story begins innocently enough with the tale of Nathan Kandle, a curious lad who encounters a mysterious creature named the fear weevil, and painfully learns that he must stand and fight fear in order to escape it. One world unfolds into another then another, as Nathan is tested over and over again until the reader himself if confronted with the challenge of his own greatest testing yet to come. Where did this story really come from, and could it be true after all?

"It is Fox's beautiful story of love and change in behaviours. The story revolves around the Tolliver and Falin families who had been in a conflict with one another since ages. The story starts when life in the mountains is beginning to change ... coal mining is starting to boom and the outside world is penetrating into the simple ways of mountain life. Appealing!"--Back cover
