We all know the story of creation in the Bible. In the beginning, God created. But what if creation isnt where things started? Not in the Bible anyway. What if the first book of the Bible wasnt about creationit was about pain. Scholars have debated for years about what the first book of the Bible really is. Most have concluded that the Book of Job was probably the first book written.Think about that: what if the message God wanted us to receive wasnt about how we were created, but what to do when life gets bad. Being a Christian means happiest. Joy. It means you get that white picket fence and have friends that bring you companionship. Hardship and spiritual warfare may be words that Christians know, but its not exactly something we talk about. Job is a complicated and messy story because it address the elephant in the giant room that is Christianity: that believing in God doesnt mean happiness. Or wealth. Or even goodness. Job is a story that teaches us an ugly truth about what we believe: that things arent always better on the other side of the mountainthat good things dont always happen to good peopleand that sometimes life is just messed up. Most people know the story of Job. Hes the guy who had bad things happen to him. But we often look to the story as more a Sunday school fairytale. Sure, its believable. But we often look at it as a moral tale about a guy who had it all taken away. Theres more to it than that. Rarely do we study it to find out what God is trying to teach us. The lesson here is deep, and one every believe should hear.

Theology is a dish best served organically!Christianity has thousands of years of history. You probably know a lot of it. But this is the story that you probably didnt hear in Sunday school.Punctuated by footnotes and full of wit and wisdom, you will be surprised by how much fun you have learning about the foundations of belief.You dont have to be a Bible scholar to understand some of the many complex concepts in this book. The author breaks it down in a way thats approachable, insightful, and even funny in places.Youll learn about the Bible being a myth (dont worry--its not at all what you think!), how we know if Jesus was really the Messiah, and, of course, if God has a pinky toe.Sit back, relax, and get ready to have some fun.

Find Out How to Sell More Books...From An Author Who Has Did ItI used to dream of getting that phone call from a literally agentthe one where they say that theyd love to sell your book. I would dream of that author advance from a big name publisher. I even had a spot on the wall where Id frame it. But then it actually happenedYes, I was one of the lucky ones. Back in 2007, I was an ambitious 20 something and had signed my first book deals with one of the biggest publishers in the United States. It was a thrilling experience, and I learned a lot publishing that first book.The publishing industry shifted just a few years later when the first eReaders entered the market and opened the floodgates to something called Indie Publishing. It didnt take long for authors to realize they didnt need big name publishers to sell their bookin fact, they could earn far more doing it themselves. Thats what I did. And thats what Ive been helping authors do ever since.Indie publishing is a lucrative market where nobody authors can become bestselling authors overnight. I cant guarantee that that will be you, but I can show you the proven methods indie authors like me use every day to turn their books into hits.

A humorist and honest look at life in public service.For most of us, librarians are the quiet people behind the desk, who, apart from the occasional "shush," vanish into the background. But in Quiet, Please, McSweeneys contributor Scott Douglas puts the quirky caretakers of our literature front and center. With a keen eye for the absurd and a Kesey-esque cast of characters (witness the librarian who is sure Thomas Pynchon is Julia Robertss latest flame), Douglas takes us where few readers have gone before. Punctuated by his own highly subjective research into library history-from Andrew Carnegies Gilded Age to todays Afghanistan-Douglas gives us a surprising (and sometimes hilarious) look at the lives which make up the social institution that is his library.This 10th Anniversary Edition includes nearly 100 pages of added content (including a new forward and afterward).

Faith is a dish best served organically!You eat your food organically--do you live your faith in the same organic way?Join author Scott Douglas, as he takes you on a journey to understand what it means to follow Christ and what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Youll be surprised by how much youll laugh growing in faith. Inside youll learn about why bad things could possibly happen to good people, how God wants us to pray, what it means to love our enemies, does God want you to be crazy, and so much more. Whether you are a new Christian, old Christian, or not even sure if you believe in Christianity, this book will have you rethink your belief and help you grow in your relationship with God. The agenda here isnt to preach you a certain kind of Christianity, rather to help you know God deeper--how that looks for you will probably be different from others who read the book.

The story of Christmas like youve never heard before The Bible teaches us the real story of Christmas. The problem is people have taken this story and added on to it. Cultures have added on to it. Its passed through countries, and theyve tacked on their little spin. We have thousands of years of a Christmas that is built around legends and myths. The Christmas we know is, in places, more a fairytale. Its an inspiring one for sure. But a fairytale, nonetheless. When you begin to unwrap the many layers of the first Christmas, you begin to see that theres more to Christmas than meets the eye. God is giving us a messagea gift to unwrap. This book helps us slow down and unpack the layers so we can see just how beautiful this gift really is. This is the story of Christmas. Christmas: Gods gift to us. This book is a stand-alone title of the Organic Faith series.

Whats your idea of Utopia? In the not so distant future, a global war that was started because of religious division has left the world on the verge of annihilation. With no hope in sight, sixteen men and sixteen women leave Earth to form a new society free of war and religion. Society is restored on the planet Sardis; for twenty-five years the people from Earth raise their children without the concept of God or religion. The purpose of life, the children are taught, is to reproduce and build a better society for their own children. There is peace on Sardis until peace is disturbed when Eagen, an ambitious teen, discovers a Bible hidden with some of the remaining belongings from Earth. The Forbidden Book is a social commentary that mixes religion and mythology into a story about what faith can do to a society, and questions whether man ultimately needs hope in things greater than himself to survive.

Discover the true miracle of Lazarus being raised from the dead Lazarus is an amazing story. A man rose from the dead! You just dont get any more awesome than that, right! So thats it then. Thats what we are supposed to learn from his resurrection, right? Not exactly. Jesus performed lots of miracles. John said it best when he said that there would not be room in the whole world to describe all that he did. Its easy to look at the stories of miracles and see them for what theyre worth: miracles. But thats a shame. If the miracle is in the Bible, theres a reason for it. Its not just there because it was miraculous. With Lazarus, a man rose from the deadan amazing miracle, no doubt. But theres more to it than that. Theres a lesson to be learned. Lazarus wasnt just a man raised from the deadhe had a life before and after his resurrection. And Jesus didnt perform the miracle just to be flashy.

Most people know that Christmas is when we celebrate Jesus birthdayeven if he wasnt actually born at Christmas. But what about the other start of the Advent season? Jolly Old Saint Nick (AKA Santa Claus). How on Earth did we go from the birthday of the Savior of the World to big old guy in a red suit?! And why does he go down chimneys? And exactly why do we give gifts to each other when its not even our birthday? This and more will be answered in this very concise history of Santa and Christmas. Note: This book is taken from Bethlehem, the Year Jesus Was Born.

Discover the Power of the Ascension Something happened.Jesus rose. But Christ didnt just rise from the dead. He ascended to Heaven.We hear the stories about Peter and John and all the heroes of the New Testament, and theyre unstoppable Christians--fearless and bold. And sometimes we wrongly assume that they just got that way. That Christ died for their sins, and bam! Theyre instantly changed! On the contrary, the disciples were actually quite cowardly in their actions after the Resurrection.It wasnt until after the Ascension that they were on fire for Christ. So, what happened during the forty days? Something happened.Theres more written about Christs ministry before his death than the events that happened after his Resurrection, but when we look at Ascension, we begin to see that theres power in small details. We begin to see that something happened after the Resurrection--something happened to transform the lives of believers and make them more than followers.Looking at what happened after the Resurrection, and further at the Ascension of Christ, we start to see what happened to transform the followers--and in seeing this we might just be transformed ourselves.Something did indeed happen during the forty days. Jesus was not done teaching. This is the first book of the Organic Faith series. Each book in the series is a stand-alone title. The second book, Bethlehem, the Year Jesus Was Born, is also available.

If Generation Next is supposed to question everything and trust no one, where does faith fit in? Consumers demand that their food be pesticidefree, their cosmetics and shampoo be paraben-free, and that everything possiblefrom clothes to toilet paperbe made without additives or chemicals. But theres nothing that has more additives to the original product than Christianity. How do we get back to the 100% organic version of Jesus? In his personal search for the organic Jesus, Scott Douglas goes on a funny, thoughtprovoking romp through the foundations of belief. Christianity, he says, has become a simulacruma bloated, overprocessed image that lacks the true substance of the real thing. His search for the original took him far and wide through historical Christ figures, urban legends, odd facts about the faith, freakishly flawed Christians, and the Internet. Using relatable, contemporary anecdotes, and unlikely wisdom concealed within humor, Douglas reveals a way back to the authentic essence of following Christ. By including "wiki" breaks, social media callouts, quizzes, charts, and more, #OrganicJesus is ideal for readers raised on social media who cant step out of their house without tweeting about it or eat lunch without posting on Instagram. Douglas is careful to be as nonbiased as possible, writing not for any particular agendapolitical or otherwisebut instead encouraging readers to seek their own path for spiritual renewal. The result is a candid look at modern Christianity that will challenge savvy young Christians to put as much effort into discovering sustainable religion as they do in their pursuit of an organic marketplace.

Entdecken Sie die Kraft des Aufstiegs Es ist etwas passiert.Jesus ist auferstanden. Aber Christus ist nicht nur von den Toten auferstanden. Er ist in den Himmel aufgestiegen.Wir horen die Geschichten uber Petrus und Johannes und all die Helden des Neuen Testaments, und sie sind unaufhaltsame Christen - furchtlos und mutig. Und manchmal nehmen wir falschlicherweise an, dass sie einfach so geworden sind. Dass Christus fur ihre Sunden gestorben ist, und schon sind sie wie verwandelt! Im Gegenteil, die Junger waren nach der Auferstehung eigentlich ziemlich feige in ihrem Verhalten.Erst nach der Himmelfahrt waren sie Feuer und Flamme fur Christus. Was geschah also wahrend der vierzig Tage? Irgendetwas geschah.Uber das Wirken Christi vor seinem Tod ist mehr geschrieben worden als uber die Ereignisse nach seiner Auferstehung, aber wenn wir uns die Himmelfahrt ansehen, beginnen wir zu erkennen, dass die Macht in den kleinen Details liegt. Wir beginnen zu erkennen, dass nach der Auferstehung etwas geschah - etwas, das das Leben der Glaubigen veranderte und sie zu mehr als nur zu Nachfolgern machte.Wenn wir uns ansehen, was nach der Auferstehung und der Himmelfahrt Christi geschah, dann sehen wir, was geschah, um die Junger zu verandern - und wenn wir das sehen, werden wir vielleicht selbst verandert.Wahrend der vierzig Tage geschah tatsachlich etwas. Jesus war noch nicht fertig mit dem Lehren.Dies ist das erste Buch aus der Reihe Organischer Glaube. Jedes Buch der Reihe ist ein eigenstandiger Titel. Das zweite Buch, Bethlehem, das Jahr, in dem Jesus geboren wurde, ist ebenfalls erhaltlich.

Todos conocemos la historia de la creación en la Biblia. En el principio, Dios creó. Pero, ¿y si la creación no es el principio? Al menos no en la Biblia. ¿Y si el primer libro de la Biblia no tratara de la creacion... sino del dolor?Los eruditos han debatido durante años sobre cual es realmente el primer libro de la Biblia. La mayoria ha llegado a la conclusion de que el Libro de Job fue probablemente el primer libro escrito.Piensalo: ¿y si el mensaje que Dios queria que recibieramos no fuera sobre como fuimos creados, sino sobre que hacer cuando la vida se pone fea?Ser cristiano significa ser feliz. Alegria. Significa que consigues esa valla blanca y tienes amigos que te dan compañia. Dificultades y guerra espiritual pueden ser palabras que los cristianos conocen, pero no es exactamente algo de lo que hablemos.Job es una historia complicada y desordenada porque aborda el elefante en la gigantesca habitacion que es el cristianismo: que creer en Dios no significa felicidad. O riqueza. Ni siquiera la bondad.Job es una historia que nos enseña una fea verdad sobre lo que creemos: que las cosas no siempre son mejores al otro lado de la montaña, que las cosas buenas no siempre le ocurren a la gente buena y que, a veces, la vida esta hecha un desastre.La mayoria de la gente conoce la historia de Job. Es el hombre al que le sucedieron cosas malas. Pero a menudo vemos la historia mas como un cuento de hadas de la escuela dominical. Claro, es creible. Pero a menudo lo vemos como un cuento moral sobre un tipo al que le quitaron todo.Pero hay algo mas. Rara vez lo estudiamos para descubrir lo que Dios esta tratando de enseñarnos.La leccion aqui es profunda, y una que todo creyente deberia escuchar.

Wir alle kennen die Schopfungsgeschichte aus der Bibel. Am Anfang schuf Gott. Aber was, wenn die Schopfung nicht der Anfang ist? Jedenfalls nicht in der Bibel. Was ware, wenn das erste Buch der Bibel nicht von der Schopfung handelte, sondern vom Schmerz?Gelehrte haben jahrelang daruber debattiert, was das erste Buch der Bibel wirklich ist. Die meisten sind zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass das Buch Hiob wahrscheinlich das erste Buch war, das geschrieben wurde.Denken Sie daruber nach: Was ware, wenn die Botschaft, die Gott uns vermitteln wollte, nicht davon handelte, wie wir erschaffen wurden, sondern davon, was zu tun ist, wenn das Leben schlecht wird?Christ zu sein bedeutet, glucklich zu sein. Freude. Es bedeutet, dass man einen weien Lattenzaun bekommt und Freunde hat, die einem Gesellschaft leisten. Muhsal und geistlicher Kampf mogen Worte sein, die Christen kennen, aber es ist nicht gerade etwas, woruber wir sprechen.Hiob ist eine komplizierte und chaotische Geschichte, weil sie den Elefanten im riesigen Raum des Christentums anspricht: dass der Glaube an Gott nicht gleichbedeutend mit Gluck ist. Oder Reichtum. Oder sogar Gutheit.Hiob ist eine Geschichte, die uns eine hassliche Wahrheit uber das lehrt, was wir glauben: dass die Dinge auf der anderen Seite des Berges nicht immer besser sind, dass guten Menschen nicht immer Gutes widerfahrt und dass das Leben manchmal einfach chaotisch ist.Die meisten Menschen kennen die Geschichte von Hiob. Er ist der Mann, dem schlimme Dinge widerfahren sind. Aber wir betrachten die Geschichte oft eher als ein Sonntagsschulmarchen. Sicher, sie ist glaubwurdig. Aber wir betrachten sie oft als eine moralische Geschichte uber einen Mann, dem alles genommen wurde.Es steckt aber mehr dahinter. Selten studieren wir es, um herauszufinden, was Gott uns zu lehren versucht.Die Lektion hier ist tiefgrundig, und jeder Glaubige sollte sie horen.

Entdecken Sie das wahre Wunder der Auferweckung von Lazarus Lazarus ist eine erstaunliche Geschichte.Ein Mann ist von den Toten auferstanden! Unglaublicher geht es nicht mehr, oder? Das wars dann also. Das ist es, was wir aus seiner Auferstehung lernen sollen, oder? Nicht ganz.Jesus vollbrachte viele Wunder. Johannes hat es am besten ausgedruckt, als er sagte, es gabe keinen Platz auf der ganzen Welt, um all das zu beschreiben, was er getan hat.Es ist einfach, sich die Geschichten uber Wunder anzusehen und sie als das zu betrachten, was sie sind: Wunder. Aber das ist eine Schande. Wenn ein Wunder in der Bibel steht, gibt es einen Grund dafur. Es ist nicht nur da, weil es ein Wunder war.Mit Lazarus ist ein Mann von den Toten auferstanden - ein erstaunliches Wunder, kein Zweifel. Aber es geht um mehr als das. Es gibt eine Lektion, die wir lernen konnen.Lazarus war nicht nur ein Mann, der von den Toten auferstand - er hatte ein Leben vor und nach seiner Auferstehung. Und Jesus vollbrachte das Wunder nicht nur, um zu glanzen.
