Описание: The culture that made military shooter video games popular and key in understanding the War on Terror. No video game genre has been more popular or more lucrative in recent years than the “military shooter.” Franchises such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, and those bearing Tom Clancy’s name turn over billions of dollars annually by promising to immerse players in historic and near-future battles, converting the reality of contemporary conflicts into playable, experiences. In the aftermath of 9/11, these games transformed a national crisis into fantastic and profitable adventures, where seemingly powerless spectators became solutions to these virtual Wars on Terror. Playing War provides a cultural framework for understanding the popularity of military-themed video games and their significance in the ongoing War on Terror. Matthew Payne examines post-9/11 shooter-style game design as well as gaming strategies to expose how these practices perpetuate and challenge reigning political beliefs about America’s military prowess and combat policies. Far from offering simplistic escapist pleasures, these post-9/11 shooters draw on a range of nationalist mythologies, positioning the player as the virtual hero at every level. Through close readings of key games, analyses of marketing materials, and participant observations of the war gaming community, Playing War examines an industry mobilizing anxieties about terrorism and invasion to craft immersive titles that transform international strife into interactive fun.

Описание:
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to meet an angel? Are you the sort of person who has an active interest in angels and how they can interact with humans? Have you read many accounts of angel visitations in your life? If you answered yes to any of those questions, this book is for you. Come and meet Matthew Robert Payne, a simple man who is down to earth, and who has seen and interacted with many angels so far in his life. Come and read: * How Matthew met angels in the flesh appearing as humans and their lasting effect on him. * How Matthew began to see angels with his spiritual sight. * See circumstances where Matthew was protected in dangerous situations by angels. * How he disappeared from plain sight of the people looking for him. * How you, too, can have the faith to meet angels through reading resources that will open up your spiritual sight. Matthew has encountered many angels on his journey through life. He covers some of the more notable ones in the pages of this book. He has mentioned the titles of books where you can learn how to see angels for yourself. This is not a book of theology, nor one of teaching, it is simply an inspirational book for you to read to encourage you that angels are real and whether you can see them or not is always up to you. The book's purpose is to encourage and edify the Christians in this world that God looks after those He loves. Come and read about one such individual.

Описание: Have you got a hunger to be closer to Jesus? Have you got a desire to know Him in a greater way and walk with Him in a deeper relationship? Do you have a thirst for intimacy with Jesus to such a level that you can know secret things about Him? Do you want to walk with Him so close that He directs your every step through the leading of the Holy Spirit? Come and read about a Jesus that you always knew, but in way that you have never known Him. Come and read His secrets about His life on earth that He is happy to reveal to His friends. Read key truths that will thrust you into a more intimate relationship with Jesus if you understand them, meditate on them and apply them to your life. Matthew Robert Payne has lived a life of sorrow and pain, and yet through all his trials he has grown intimate with the Lover of his soul. Listen as he shares his heart with you, the lessons that he has learned in his Christian life and key revelations about the life of Jesus that were only revealed to him as he wrote this book. Many who know Matthew on Facebook in a personal way have a holy jealousy of his relationship with Jesus, and with this book he hopes to let people bridge that gap. This book is not a book to be read once and put away; it is a book that you need to read again and again and apply to your life. Intimacy with Jesus is a sure prize, and well worth the effort it requires you to put into it, and reading this book is a key step to getting there.

Описание:
If you are anything like me, then one of your favorite subjects is heaven. It is so hard to find a really good book on heaven. However, this book is much more than a description of heaven. Instead, you will discover how you can access heaven for yourself. It is my prayer that this short book of mine will not only inspire you to go to heaven but even take you there while you read it.
We have access to heaven as part of our inheritance through Christ's shed blood. The Bible says that we are already seated in heavenly places. If you can imagine that you are seated next to Jesus on a throne, then all you really need to do is open your spiritual eyes, and you will be in heaven.
In this book, I hope to encourage you about heaven and to teach you how to visit heaven. I will share the lessons that I learned from my encounters in heaven. I pray that you will add this to your catalogue of books on heaven and visit there yourself one day. I have included exercises that might even help you encounter heaven before you finish reading it if you approach them with faith. If you do not encounter heaven by reading this book, you can visit my website to access your own trip to heaven.
