EU ACREDITO NO PAPAI NOEL E EU ACREDITO EM DEUS: Por que Eu Acredito
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99O Sr. Currie discute como pode ser difícil compartilhar as razões pelas quais acredita em Deus, o que o motivou a escrever este livro. A tese principal é que faz tanto sentido cientificamente quanto logicamente acreditar em Deus como não acreditar. Ele aceita que você possa discordar de sua escolha, mas espera que considere que a crença não é necessariamente uma ilusão ou algo que arruína tudo. Com alguma discussão sobre o que queremos dizer com crença e Deus, ele apresenta as razões e evidências que sustentam sua crença. Algumas razões para acreditar estão baseadas em coisas nas quais ele não acredita. Ele não acredita que o nada possa produzir algo, que a matéria tenha existido para sempre, ou que a inteligência, a consciência, as emoções e o senso de moralidade tenham surgido da matéria inanimada. Ele acredita que há evidências de design na criação e na vida que apontam para Deus. Essas coisas exigem uma entidade autônoma, inteligente e externa ao nosso tempo e espaço, Deus. Ele também acredita que os argumentos contra Deus não são adequados para negar a plausibilidade de uma crença sensata. Ele acredita no livre-arbítrio. Uma pessoa pode escolher acreditar ou não. Qualquer uma das escolhas é baseada na compreensão de uma pessoa sobre a evidência, juntamente com a fé.

CREO EN SANTA CLAUS Y CREO EN DIOS: Por qué creo
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99El Sr. Currie discute cómo puede ser difícil compartir las razones por las cuales cree en Dios, lo que lo motivó a escribir este libro. La tesis principal es que tiene tanto sentido científicamente como lógicamente creer en Dios como no creer. Acepta que uno pueda estar en desacuerdo con su elección, pero espera que considere que la creencia no es necesariamente una ilusión o algo que lo arruine todo. Con algo de discusión sobre lo que entendemos por creencia y Dios, presenta las razones y la evidencia que respaldan su creencia. Algunas razones para creer están basadas en cosas en las que él no cree. Él no cree que de la nada pueda surgir algo, que la materia haya existido siempre, o que la inteligencia, la conciencia, las emociones y el sentido de la moralidad hayan surgido de materia inanimada. Él cree que hay evidencia de diseño en la creación y la vida que apunta a Dios. Estas cosas requieren una entidad autónoma, inteligente y externa a nuestro tiempo y espacio: Dios. También cree que los argumentos en contra de Dios no son suficientes para negar la plausibilidad de una creencia sensata. Él cree en el libre albedrío. Una persona puede elegir creer o no creer. Cualquiera de las dos elecciones está basada en el entendimiento de la persona sobre la evidencia, junto con la fe.

Kwanzaa Songs for Everyone
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Kwanzaa Songs for Everyone is a unique collection of music and poetry that celebrates the spirit of Kwanzaa. Set to familiar holiday tunes, these songs have all new lyrics and are expressed with a distinctive cultural flavor. The word “Kwanzaa” comes from the Swahili language and means “the first fruits of harvest” It is celebrated during the seven day period from December 26 to January 1. Kwanzaa is a unique cultural event that pays homage to the past, present, and future of African Americans. It has no religious connotations nor does it attempt to replace or substitute for Christmas, or any religious beliefs or observations. The reason why Kwanzaa came to be is simple: Until the creation of Kwanzaa by Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga in 1966, African Americans did not have a specific occasion to universally celebrate our culture. Kwanzaa incorporates African heritage into the festivities of the winter solstice and holiday season. After over forty years, practice, Kwanzaa is now celebrated by millions of people thorough out America, the African Diaspora, and all over the world. The seven principles of Kwanzaa promote family values, cultural enlightenment, and the growth of a cooperative community spirit, collective economic opportunities, community strength, family cohesiveness and progressive individual expression. The ultimate goal of Kwanzaa is that the Nguzo Saba, the Seven Principles, become a living part of the individual and community until they are practiced every day of the year.

La Guerra Que Casi Perdimos: Cómo Estuvimos a Punto de Perder la Segunda Guerra Mundial
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99La guerra que casi perdimos: Cómo estuvimos a punto de perder la Segunda Guerra Mundial
En “La guerra que casi perdimos”, el autor explica cuán mal preparados estábamos para la guerra en 1941. Discute las áreas en las que podríamos haberlo hecho mucho mejor y cómo la responsabilidad podría haber sido compartida por muchos políticos y líderes militares.
El autor escribe sobre errores y meteduras de pata, así como movimientos brillantes realizados durante la guerra por ambos bandos que nos permitieron ganar, pero que casi nos cuestan la victoria. Una mejor planificación y ejecución por parte de los países del Eje podrían haber tenido efectos desastrosos en los Aliados. Pero al final, a través de un buen diseño, golpes de suerte y malas decisiones tomadas por nuestros enemigos, nos recuperamos y salimos adelante en la terrible guerra con colores voladores liderados por la “Generación más grande” de todos los tiempos.
Arthur A. Edwards fue un oficial naval y veterano del conflicto de Corea que creció en el norte de California durante la depresión y la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Estudió la guerra en la Universidad de California, Berkeley, y tiene una biblioteca llena de libros de historia. Desciende de una larga línea de veteranos; dos de sus bisabuelos sirvieron en el Ejército de la Unión durante la Guerra Civil, un abuelo que intentó alistarse en la Guerra Hispano-Americana y un padre que sirvió en la Marina dos veces, una justo cuando terminó la Primera Guerra Mundial, y otra en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Arthur se graduó en ingeniería mecánica en Cal Berkeley, y trabajó en la industria aeroespacial construyendo satélites meteorológicos y de comunicaciones. Cada vez que trae a casa otro libro sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial, su esposa pregunta, “¿Hay algo que no sepas sobre la guerra?”

What’s Your (Analyst’s) Diagnosis? Truth (Or Fantasy)?: An Essay On Human Perception
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Human perception of reality, and scientific advancement, is linked to the truthfulness of verbal and mathematical description(s) of real event(s). Human verbal and mathematical descriptions of reality reveal psychic reality of those persons projecting the descriptions and relate to prior real experiences or verbalizations of others.
This book presents as natural phenomena:
- “Free will” of human perception, or its absence, results from the truthfulness, or fantasy world conceptualization, of a primary relationship.
- The ‘”Unified Field Theory of Charged Particle Relation(s) and Mass-Energy Transformation(s)” gives universal understanding of positive, and negative, realities of the universe and unifies, by truthful mathematical ”identification”, the three current theories of physics.
- “Structural Development” of the ”personality” is an ”identification” process of the ”self”, as a being, apart from the genetic person. To use Einstein’s words, it is ”apart from humanity”.

I Believe in Santa Claus and I Believe in God : Why I Believe
$10.99Mr. Currie discusses how it can be difficult to share the reasons he believes in God, which is what motivated him to write this book. The main thesis is that it makes as much sense scientifically and logically to believe in God as to not believe. He accepts that you may disagree with his choice, but hopes you will consider that belief is not necessarily a delusion or something that ruins everything. With some discussion about what we mean by belief and God, he presents the reasons and evidence that support his belief. Some reasons to believe are based on things he doesn’t believe. He doesn’t believe that nothing produces something, that matter has always existed, or that intelligence, consciousness, emotions and a sense of morality arose from inanimate matter. He believes that there is evidence of design in creation and life that points to God. These things require an autonomous, intelligent, external to our time and space entity, God. He also believes that the arguments against God are not adequate to negate the plausibility of sensible belief. He believes in free will. A person can choose to believe or not. Either choice is based on a person’s understanding of the evidence along with faith.

Brightfire: A Tale of Sutton Hoo
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99Born in Zambia, I lived in Cape Town, before leaving on a transport ship in 1944 to return ‘home’ to England. My parents wanted to be with their families, even though World War 2 had not ended.
We lived in Kent, Surrey, Yorkshire and Norfolk before I went to Royal Holloway College, University of London, to read English (including Old English and Modern Drama). I have lived and taught in Suffolk since my marriage in 1964, and eventually became Head of English and Drama at Woodbridge School.
What is important to me? My family; literature, both reading and writing; theatre, on both sides of the curtain and travel. I am very fortunate to have travelled almost worldwide, from Iceland to Australia.
I am a National Trust volunteer at Sutton Hoo (site of the famous ship burial and treasure) and a Sutton Hoo Society Guide. I thoroughly enjoy sharing the history of Sutton Hoo with thousands of visitors each year. Renewing my acquaintance with the Anglo-Saxons re-awakened my interest in their language, culture and customs, and lead me to write two Anglo-Saxon historical novels based in the land of the Wuffings in the 7th century AD.
Apart from this writing, among the most exciting things I have done are swimming with dolphins on the Florida Keys, scuba-diving on the Great Barrier Reef and acting in the National Drama Festivals, where I was lucky enough to get a nomination in the Final.
Writing is something of a fourth career, as I have also worked as a TV film extra and run a local bookshop. As our forebears knew, life is for living and knowledge is for sharing: I enjoy giving talks to local societies and book clubs as well as doing book-signings.

Storm Frost
Price range: $3.99 through $10.99There exists an Anglo-Saxon manuscript, where we hear of an outcast wife, a husband, his messenger, a lover and a baby. Merge these tales with what we know of the royal family buried at Sutton Hoo in East Anglia, including Raedwald and his brother, Eni, living at the end of the 6th century AD.They believe in the old gods, like Woden, and have not yet encountered Christianity. Their culture is vibrant, exciting, terrifying in its cruelty, and uninhibited in its morality. Travel from the East Anglian fenlands, over northern moors to the remote Northumbrian river where the story reaches its climax. Along the way, discover life in a royal hall or a hovel; cure wounds or inflict them; share a feast or scrape a meal; work fertility charms or protect your folk from evil. Here is a tale of love and betrayal, courage and fear. Niartha, the fictional heroine, outcast from her people, encounters hardship, abuse and loss as she seeks her exiled lover; her survival depends on her practical skills, unexpected in a king’s daughter. In their desires and social lives, Anglo-Saxons, although separated from us by fourteen hundred years, are not so very alien, after all.
