It's a funny relationship between quirky cats and their dedicated owners. A cat begs to be petted, then strides coolly away. Calm one minute, it's tearing up and down stairs and clawing drapes the next. Yet we still adore our cats--perhaps because they're a lot like us. In this delightful book of devotions from the authors of Four Paws from Heaven humorous stories about cats and their people give insight into our own relationships with God. Barney, Misty, Muffin, and a host of other feline friends illustrate how even the most contradictory creature can thrive in the presence of a loving, ever-patient owner. Each entertaining and enlightening tale encourages readers to discover how God draws us to Himself, stimulates our growth, cleanses and refines us, teaches us His ways, and reigns over us for our own good. Perfect for animal lovers everywhere, this unique devotional inspires us to delight in the Lord and lap up His loving presence.

Pure God addresses areas where Christians and non-Christians often have uncertain beliefs. If left unattended, such beliefs become stumbling blocks for unbelievers and create doubt and confusion in the minds of believers. The subject matter delves into controversial areas of eternal security, the deity of Jesus, the Holy Trinity, baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, and prophesying. Pure God provides insight-found in no other book-about the origin of the people of Nod and the identity of the Nephilim. Moreover, readers learn what the Bible teaches about faith, sin, salvation, evil, death, and the end times. Pure God is more than a simple question-and-answer book. Ensuing topics, appurtenant passages of scripture, and true-to-life illustrations progressively unravel the mystery of God. Each chapter draws the reader closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. Readers experience God's irresistible love and discover what it means to be a Christian.

The figure of Johann Gottfried Herder looms increasingly important not only for his prescient contributions to many fields - biblical criticism, philosophy of language, literary criticism, philosophy of history - but also for his pivotal position between the impulses of the Enlightenment and Romanticism. Many of Herder's questions and concerns are more pressing at the end of the modern era than they were at its inception. Bunge's lucid and engaging translations of signal texts from Herder - most appearing here for the first time in English - are arranged thematically: human nature, language, and history; myth and religion; God and nature; literature and the Bible; and Christianity and theology. Along with her extensive Introduction and Bibliography, they constitute an essential resource for coming to terms with the checkered legacy of the Enlightenment.
