| Through his ministry, Champions for Life, Bill Glass teaches the healing power of a father's blessing in cities, congregations, prisons and schools across America. His message is simple: a father's blessing can give a child the inspiration, reassurance and confidence to live life to its fullest potential. Glass defines a blessing as a gentle touch, a loving hug and a powerful verbal message of unconditional love. Nothing is more rewarding to the giver and the receiver than the amazing, affirming results of a blessing. Glass encourages fathers to reach out to their families, sons and daughters with expressions of love and support. In giving a blessing, we are guided toward our destiny and are able to support our children in living theirs. |

| Logan longs for adventure. But around Chance Ranch, marriage seems mandatory. So Logan and Bryce, youngest of the Chance men, set out to see what the Lord could have for them in Salt Lick Holler. Plenty of blessings have come out of that town - maybe it was time for someone from Reliable, California, to bless the town folk back. Hattie Thales, widow at twenty-one, knows her place. She delights in being the holler's healer and the companion to aged Widow Hendricks. She could marry again, but who would want a wife who can't bear him sons? Will Logan's chance adventure lead him to love? Could Hattie be facing her first chance at true love? |

| Click here' 'to view a video clip presentation on Chance or Purpose? Cardinal Christoph Sch...nborn's article on evolution and creation in The New York Times launched an international controversy. Critics charged him with biblical literalism and “creationism�. 'In this book, Cardinal Sch...nborn responds to his critics by tackling the hard questions with a carefully reasoned "theology of creation". Can we still speak intelligently of the world as “creation� and affirm the existence of the Creator, or is God a “delusion�? How should an informed believer read Genesis? If God exists, why is there so much injustice and suffering? Are human beings a part of nature or elevated above it? What is man's destiny? Is everything a matter of chance or can we discern purpose in human existence? ' In his treatment of evolution, Cardinal Sch...nborn distinguishes the biological theory from “evolutionism�, the ideology that tries to reduce all of reality to mindless, meaningless processes. He argues that science and a rationally grounded faith are not at odds and that what many people represent as “science� is really a set of philosophical positions that will not withstand critical scrutiny. ' Chance or Purpose? directly raises the philosophical and theological issues many scientists today overlook or ignore. The result is a vigorous, frank dialogue that acknowledges the respective insights of the philosopher, the theologian and the scientist, but which calls on them to listen and to learn from each another. ''"Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn's 2005 essay in the New York Times , which seemingly condemned Darwin's scientific theory of evolution, ignited a firestorm of controversy. Yet the hasty responses did not look deeply enough into the Cardinal's words. Rather than the science of Darwin, it is the philosophical claims made in its name that the prelate upbraided. Science cannot speak of ultimate purpose, and scientists who do so are outside of their authority. In Chance or Purpose? the Cardinal shows that the data of biology, when properly examined by reason and philosophy, strongly point to a purposeful world." '' "Michael Behe Author, Darwin's Black Box '“Cardinal Schoenborn writes with masterful simplicity on profound'theological issues. I, as a scientist and Christian outside the'Catholic tradition, welcome his wisdom. He argues effectively that there are multiple approaches to reality, and he states clearly that while intelligent design is worthy of human reflection, from a scientific perspective the evolutionary model is the true story.� '' "Owen Gingerich, Professor Emeritus of Astronomy and History of Science, Harvard University. Author of God's Universe '''“Intellectual curiosity is here joined with precision of reason and vibrancy of faith. T |
