The Courts of Heaven for Beginners: Challenging Fears That Hinder by Lisa Noel Babbage PhD https://www.amazon.com/Courts-Heaven-Beginners-Challenging-Hinder/dp/B0CWSF6XS2 Lisanoelbabbage.com The gifts of the Spirit are without repentance, but yours may be held up in court. Are you ready to petition for what Christ died for you to have? Within the last one hundred years, we have seen God move in distinct ways. The current church age requires spiritual maturity and authority beyond the five-fold ministry. Every generation has a special assignment, or calling, from the throne room. Ours is to operate in the courts of heaven. The Courts of Heaven for Beginners demonstrates the significance of this movement while escorting you into a realm you’ve only read about. Gain insight, operate in the gift of faith, take your authority liberally to work with God’s power, and see your world change because of the judgment in your favor as a believer in Christ.

Hairy Harry Couldn’t Hurry: An Imaginarium Of Imaginactions That Take Place In The Hot Days Of Summer by Victor Bello https://www.amazon.com/Hairy-Harry-Couldnt-Hurry-Imaginactions/dp/1963851846 Storiesbybello.com Dr. Victor M. Bello is an ophthalmologist who wrote this children’s book inspired by the sensibility of his two young boys Victor and Vincent. They were playing in the back yard at their tree house when papa observed them looking intently at one of the corners of the treehouse. Fearing that they could be looking at a wasp nest, father went at once to investigate. What Papa saw was the moment of inspiration to write about it. A spider web, under the rays of the sun, Filtering though the leaves of the trees, made it sparkle. I conceived the idea of writing about it and wanted to get them involved. They came up with great ideas to embellish the story. We called our descriptions “Imaginactions”. Essentially, I meant that the ideas from the fertile young minds were put into action in the story. They were 2.5 and 4 years old at the time. An “Imaginarium” was created. It was very rewarding to engage the boys in the production of this book. Dr. Bello has adopted the pen name “Bello” and that is how “Hairy Harry Couldn’t Hurry” was born. More episodes are in the making and the reader is certain to enjoy the development of more adventures of our friendly ageless spider and Victor and Vincent. Dr. Bello now lives in Mobile, Alabama where he works part time in his beloved specialty of ophthalmology.

Understanding What It Means to Be Born Again: And Things Pertaining to Being Born Again by Michael J Rech https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-What-Means-Born-Again/dp/B0DNV4VGDY Being born again is salvation, but what does the term “born again” mean? Understanding What It Means to be Born Again uniquely describes how to fully understand the term. Using scripture as an explanation, the author addresses controversial beliefs that religions disagree on, such as water baptism, why we have the Bible, whether swearing is a sin, and why babies go to heaven no matter what the parent’s religion is. The author discusses opinions from the Bible being disproved by stated facts from the Bible after a deeper study on these subjects. The reader will know what the Bible says about graven images and what Jesus says about the gate to heaven and the gate to hell. The author hopes his writing will be used to lead people to salvation and to help weak Christians to be strong in their walk with Christ.

The Score: How to Stop Playing Somebody Else’s Game by C. Thi Nguyen https://www.amazon.com/Score-Stop-Playing-Somebody-Elses/dp/0593655656 A philosophy of games to help us win back control over what we value The philosopher C. Thi Nguyen—one of the leading experts on the philosophy of games and the philosophy of data—takes us deep into the heart of games, and into the depths of bureaucracy, to see how scoring systems shape our desires. Games are the most important art form of our era. They embody the spirit of free play. They show us the subtle beauty of action everywhere in life in video games, sports, and boardgames—but also cooking, gardening, fly-fishing, and running. They remind us that it isn’t always about outcomes, but about how glorious it feels to be doing the thing. And the scoring systems help get us there, by giving us new goals to try on. Scoring systems are also at the center of our corporations and bureaucracies—in the form of metrics and rankings. They tell us exactly how to measure our success. They encourage us to outsource our values to an external authority. And they push on us to value simple, countable things. Metrics don’t capture what really matters; they only capture what’s easy to measure. The price of that clarity is our independence. The Score asks us is this the game you really want to be playing?
