Fact-based conclusion of the Hui TrilogyIn Just Another Country, Moody brings an emotionally shattering, politically infuriating conclusion to his fact-based trilogy of China's relentless attempts to destroy the United States, be it through a deadly virus, an endless wave of illegal immigrants, shipments of fentanyl, or Artificial Intelligence. Worst of all, Chinese AI Bots have acquired emotions and are now turning humans into their slaves.Moody's warnings about the decline of the U.S. and China's escalating threat to the West in his three volumes have been largely borne out in recent years. As Xi Jinping, the iron-fisted leader of the Chinese Communist Party, accelerates his drive for global superiority, naïve, heedless Americans fret over racial hatred, inequality, gender identity, sexual freedom, celebrity singers, TV shows and Donald Trump's hair. JFK's famous "Ask not" speech has been turned on its head. In today's America, E Pluribus Unum has been deformed into Gimme gimme gimme. Moody presents a parallel, interwoven tale of America's troubled relations with Mexico and its longstanding failure to control the flood of illegal immigrants along its southern border. With flashbacks to another refugee from the former Soviet Union, it's clear that no matter the century, no matter the politics, no matter the truth, unless it changes its self-satisfied, self-defeating ways, America risks becoming Just Another Country.Praise for Of Course They Knew, Of Course They..."Americans know something is wrong but have been silenced by political correctness. These characters have a voice."-Sean Hannity"John Moody has made a major contribution to our understanding of the Covid disaster. His novel will enlighten every person who reads it. I found it fascinating." -Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the United States House of RepresentativesPraise for The World We Wish"The World We Wish takes the reader inside the stark realities of the Chinese communist system. A fascinating and intriguing story that seems too real to be fiction."-Bill Gertz, journalist and author of Deceiving the Sky: Inside Communist China's Drive for Global Supremacy "Drenched in black humor, The World We Wish offers insight into a nation that echoes history's most notorious regimes... Its greatest strength may be its knack for revealing what's kept at arm's length from us via the media and academia."-Christian Toto, author, editor of HollywoodinToto.com

In John 21:25, the writer and youngest Apostle of the twelve reminds us: the miraculous works of Jesus Christ in his thirty-three prolific years on Earth are too numerous to be counted. "If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written," states the New International Version of John's verse.In The Miracles of Jesus Christ and His Apostles in the Bible: Divine Miracles with a Divine Purpose, pastor and author Alfred Cherubim takes a chronological look at the thirty-seven miracles of Jesus Christ recorded in the New Testament, throughout the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Beginning with the wedding feast in Cana where Jesus turned the water into wine and ending with His second catch of fish at the Sea of Tiberias, Cherubim provides the beloved Bible verses that describe each supernatural act of the Messiah.One by one, in a growing crescendo, the miracles of Jesus unfold before readers' eyes and hearts, only to be followed by nineteen additional divine acts performed by His disciples-ordinary men aside from their association and communion with Jesus.From Peter walking on water (Matthew 14:28-31) to Paul healing the sick on the island of Malta (Acts 28:9-10), Cherubim tells the reader to remember: in the end, all miracles are God's miracles.As such, all are signs-accompanied by a message-that either meet a dire human need or confirm Jesus' identity and authority as the Son of God. The author reminds the reader that all Jesus' wondrous acts and those of His Apostles, although singular and extraordinary, exist for one divine reason. In the end, all miracles direct us to behold God's love, power, glory, and mercy, as they carry the ultimate message of eternal salvation to the beholder.
Growing up in a military family, Jason and Nicky are closer than most brothers-they are best friends. When Nicky dies in a freak accident, Jason is devastated. He ultimately joins a technology company that has developed a radio-based communication technology that, when deployed, will become one of the most powerful allies to freedom and one of the greatest threats to totalitarianism the world has ever seen. It's called Brightstar. Regime change is underway in Russia, and the challenger sees Brightstar as the lever he needs to defeat Putin. It becomes Jason's job to deploy it-in the face of an incumbent regime that will deny its installation at all costs. The book ends with a shattering, unexpected conclusion that will stop readers in their tracks and make them beg for a sequel.

Many of the most exciting open problems in high-energy physics are related to the behavior and ultimate nature of gravity and spacetime. In this dissertation, several categories of new results in quantum and classical gravity are presented,with applications to our understanding of both quantum field theory and cosmology.A fundamental open question in quantum field theory is related to ultraviolet completion: Which low-energy effective field theories can be consistently combined with quantum gravity? A celebrated example of the swampland program-the investigation of this question-is the weak gravity conjecture, which mandates, for a U(1) gauge field coupled consistently to gravity, the existence of a state with charge-to-mass ratio greater than unity.

Antisemitism refers to prejudice, hatred, hostility, and/or discrimination against the Jewish People as individuals or as a group due to their Jewish identity (World Jewish Congress, 2022). Manifestations of antisemitism often include anti-Zionism (i.e., prejudice against the Jewish People's right to self-determine in their ancestral homeland), scapegoating, perpetuation of false conspiracies, stereotypes, and acts of violence against Jewish people (World Jewish Congress, 2022). Contemporary forms of antisemitism often manifest as movements that disseminate antisemitic rhetoric by attempting to silence Jewish narratives and undermining the Jewish People's multi-millennial-spanning history in Israel (Marcus, 2013). Akin to a geneticdisease, antisemitism is transmitted from one generation to the next, mutating over time to infect a multitude of societies, movements, and civilizations (Marcus, 2013
Como el Padre me envió a mí, así yo los envío a ustedes(Juan 20:21)¿Cuáles son las marcas misionales de la iglesia en el mundo? Este libro ofrece una perspectiva integral e íntregamente bíblica acerca de la misión cristiana y la relación entre la responsabilidad de evangelizar y la responsabilidad social, entre la Gran Comisión ("vayan y hagan discípulos") y el Gran Mandamiento ("ama a tu prójimo"). En su clásica exposición sobre la misión de la iglesia, John Stott se propone "perseverar en la búsqueda de lo que el Espíritu le está diciendo a las iglesias por medio de la Palabra". Este es un reto que cada generación ha de hacer propio, con los pies en su actualidad, mirando hacia adelante a la luz de la esperanza cristiana y prestando atención al camino recorrido. Eso mismo, que demostró Stott hace cincuenta años, lohace también Christopher Wright en esta versión actualizada y ampliada, a la vez reconociendo la capacidad anticipatoria de Stott. Estas páginas son una invitación a fortalecer la fe, alimentar la reflexión y vigorizar la misión cristiana.
