Some see it as the answer to every problem, while others see it as the problem itself. Simply put, religion is the single greatest force in history. But in a much more intimate sense, what does religion mean to one life?   In this honest, suspenseful, and moving memoir, author David Nasser tells of a life filled with heartbreak and healing. Forced to escape from a country gripped in a religious revolution, David and his family run for their lives in an attempt to find refuge. Through the lens of a terrified boy we see the destructive power of religion and the pull of peer pressure as he tries to fit into a new culture.  Nasser's raw and transparent account of his transition from hating religion to having a living faith in Christ will impact readers from across the religious spectrum. His unflinchingly honest, yet humorous, assessment of the church from an outsider's point of view will both enlighten readers and spur them to renewed and refined outreach.  For anyone who has seen the lie of religion, whether in Iran or Alabama or anywhere in between, Nasser offers the truth of Jesus.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49565755900177,"sku":"GOR002503231","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50128201580817,"sku":"CIN080107259XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50282256826641,"sku":"CIN080107259XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":53001623142673,"sku":"CIN080107259XLN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53683718062353,"sku":"CIN080107259XA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/080107259X.jpg?v=1750980160"},{"product_id":"jumping-through-fires-book-david-nasser-9780801013355","title":"Jumping Through Fires","description":"Religion has left an undeniable mark in our world.

At the same time, they have a strong sense of self that seeks to maximize the capabilities of the individual. In these partially contradictory motivations self-evaluation has been proposed as a major process to initiate self-regulative mechanisms. One frequently identified self-evaluative indicator is self-esteem. The present research aims at exploring the extent to which self-evaluative processes depend on and interact with social relationships. The author links the self-esteem and social relationship literature with an emphasis on age related changes and specific challenges in the context of childlessness. Two empirical studies explore differential patterns of ego-centered social networks and dyadic relationships addressing effects on global and domain-specific self-esteem as well as a new construct of relationship functioning, that is, relational self-esteem. Findings point to a relational nature of self-evaluation. In all, results open up a new perspective on personal functioning across the life span by means of differential and relationship specific considerations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49788139897105,"sku":"CIN097924790XA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49959761674513,"sku":"CIN097924790XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50096675651857,"sku":"CIN097924790XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52990059938065,"sku":"GOR004000949","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/097924790X.jpg?v=1750981532"},{"product_id":"a-call-to-die-a-40-day-journey-of-fasting-from-the-world-feasting-on-god-book-david-nasser-9781888237306","title":"A Call to Die: A 40 Day Journey of Fasting from the World \u0026 Feasting on God","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49999320809745,"sku":"CIN1888237309G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50475170201873,"sku":"CIN1888237309VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52107671404817,"sku":"CIN1888237309A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1888237309.jpg?v=1751155363"},{"product_id":"glory-revealed-book-david-nasser-9780979247910","title":"Glory Revealed","description":"In recent years diffusion processes with reflection have been subject of active research in the field of probability theory and stochastic analysis, where such reflected processes arise in quite various manners. The present work deals with two rather different types of reflected diffusion processes. In the first part we prove pathwise differentiabilty results for Skorohod SDEs with respect to the initial condition, in particular we consider processes on convex polyhedrons with oblique reflection at the boundary as well as processes on bounded smooth domains with normal reflection. In the second part a particle approximation of the Wasserstein diffusion is established, where the approximating process can be intepreted as a system of interacting Bessel processes with small Bessel dimension. More precisely, we introduce a reversible particle system, whose associated empirical measure process converges weakly to the Wasserstein diffusion in the high-density limit. Moreover, we prove regularity properties of the approximating system, in particular Feller properties, using tools from harmonic analysis on weighted Sobolev spaces.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50128424108305,"sku":"CIN0979247918VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50216643395857,"sku":"CIN0979247918G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53483284496657,"sku":"CIN0979247918A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0979247918.jpg?v=1751298989"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-david-nasser.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
