Filled with hope, comfort, and praise to God, the promises shared a beautiful truth: the fulfillment of Isaiah 9:6. "Unto us a child is born...His name will be Wonderful."

ISBN: 9780292728660 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 123 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Over the course of his career, British writer Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) shifted away from elitist social satires and an atheistic outlook toward greater concern for the masses and the use of religious terms and imagery.

Huxley's protagonist is an idealistic financier whose grandiose schemes for controlling the means of...
