On the morning of New Year's Eve, we heard the words we didn't want to hear. "You have leukemia." The diagnosis followed a bone marrow biopsy two days earlier.And so we began a new phase in our journey with the Lord.These forty (plus ten bonus days) daily devotionals contain the powerful truths we learned during my wife's treatment for leukemia and how a good Father prepared us beforehand. You may be facing another type of illness. Or a broken marriage. Or financial stress. Or the loss of a loved one. Whatever it is, our hope is that you will be encouraged by what the Lord has taught us and will experience Him as intimately as we have.

Vampires walk among us, using folklore to hide, and relying on superstitions to discredit the very notion of their existence. Lurking in the shadows, and remaining in the background, they have preyed on humanity for thousands of years. Bram Stoker came close, revealing the presence of Dracula, but even he misunderstood the true nature of the vampire. FIRST CONTACT is a series of stand-alone novels that explore humanity's first interaction with extraterrestrial life. This series is similar to BLACK MIRROR or THE TWILIGHT ZONE in that the series is based on a common theme rather than common characters. This allows these books to be read in any order. Technically, they're all first as they all deal with how we might initially respond to contact with aliens, exploring the social, political, religious, and scientific aspects of First Contact.

Even though he's found a new future working at the CB Bar Ranch in Dare, Montana, he's not interested in trying to get back what he once had.

As the son of a political scion, he's spent his entire life hiding the truth about who he is just so he could inherit a legacy he never wanted.

"I can be of no use here, Carry. What am I good for? Why, I could not earn money enough to pay for my own food, even if we knew anyone who would help me to get a clerkship. I am too young for it yet. I would rather go before the mast than take a place in a shop. I am too young even to enlist. I know just about as much as other boys at school, and I certainly have no talent anyway, as far as I can see at present. I can sail a boat, and I won the swimming prize a month ago, and the sergeant who gives us lessons in single-stick and boxing says that he considers me his best pupil with the gloves, but all these things put together would not bring me in sixpence a week. I don't want to go away, and nothing would induce me to do so if I could be of the slightest use to you here. But can I be of any use? What is there for me to look forward to if I stay? I am sure that you would be always worrying over me if I did get some sort of situation that you would know father and mother would not have liked to see me in, and would seem to offer no chance for the future, whereas if I went out there it would not matter what I did, and anything I earned I could send home to you."

Nathan Coppedge, previously the author of Intermediate Insights and One-Page-Classics, and who has also wrote pseudonymously as Master Kuo (The Lessons of the Master), here presents his translation of the Tao Te Ching, the authority of which depends on multiple previously existing translations. Considerable insight and additional thought has been acquired for this formidable text, one of the greatest of the classics of ancient literature.
The fourth edition of this book has been written to clean up some of the poorly worded text in the first three editions and to show important Bible verses rather than just refer to them. An effort has also been made to convert previously used first person speech with more formal third person speech. In looking at the first chapter of the epistle of James, this book considers authorship, the date that the epistle was written, and the basis for its acceptance into the biblical canon. With a strong focus on the Greek language, the goal has also been to perform good exegesis on the original text. Among the topics examined are enduring temptation, receiving a crown of life, living one's faith every day, and recognizing pure and undefiled religion. So James wrote the first part of his epistle to saints, who as brethren would face temptations over and over and who would sometimes fail to live up to the hope that was within them. But he had taught in verse five that a person can ask the Lord for wisdom to overcome his or her trials, tribulations, and tempting experiences. He had taught in verse twelve that a crown of life awaits those saints who endure temptation. In verses thirteen through fifteen, he had taught that a person's own lustful nature often gives birth to the very sins that ensnare him or her. He had taught in verse eighteen that every saint of God is born of God and that His Word has been placed in him or her by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. All people will sometimes fail. But if a person has received Christ as savior, then he or she will have the continued help of the Comforter as a personal guide in this life. So as James would say, let each saint of God always practice the wise teachings of the scriptures and hold fast to his or her faith in Christ. In verse twenty-seven, he had concluded chapter one by encouraging the beloved brethren to have a watchful eye towards helping those around them in need and by doing their best to live right. Temptations come. But by the grace of God, each person can live for the Lord through all of them each and every day of his or her life. So to God be the glory for those great things that He has done in the hearts and lives of those who truly love Him. There is one note, however, to be made with respect to the organization of this text. Something that the reader of this text might find useful is boxes that show the different passages that are being referenced at the times and in the places where they are being referenced. That way, he or she will not have to jump all over the place or get into or out of the scriptures to locate a particular reference. Hopefully that inclusion will help the reader in trying to understand the various events and to also put them into the right context. So it is hoped that that will make this book easier to read and that the Lord will receive the praise, honor, and glory that He rightfully deserves.

The Latest version of Rachel's Shoe !Nestled in the bay of St Malo, the Channel Islands claim the unique, if unenviable distinction of being the only part of Britain to have been occupied by a foreign power in hundreds of years. Life in the islands during the five years under the Jackboot was hard and freedoms severely curtailed, but the spirit of a teenage Guernsey boy called Tom Le Breton was never dampened. This is the story of a dramatic wartime rescue and the romance that grew between Tom and a young Jewish girl imprisoned on the nearby island of Alderney. The story moves from those dangerous but somehow magical days to the heady 1970s when long-since forgotten events return to haunt a small family now settled on the Western coast of Guernsey. Impregnated with the atmosphere of remote islands and their unique history, Rachel's Shoe is an adventure story about the survival of innocence in a world dominated by obsessions for power and wealth.

If you must fulfill your destiny, you must possess your possession. Unfortunately, many go through life and even die, not touching or possessing half of what God created them for. For the purpose of this book, possession is all-inclusive-the spiritual and the material. Whatever the possession may be, vision remains the womb in which they are conceived. There are territories waiting for your possession, but you must see it. There are businesses that won't be possessed until you see them. Some mantles and anointing are still hanging in the realm of the spirits, waiting for you to possess them. There are spiritual fields full of the souls of men that are already white for harvest, you won't be able to possess them unless you are able to see. You think the world has seen it all in terms of inventions? Not all! There are inventions yet to come. The list is inexhaustible!
Depois de O Nascimento do Menino-Deus, Farjani publica mais um volume sobre a interpretação astronômica da vida de Jesus. Este livro se dedica integralmente a José, pai de Jesus, que se revela uma antiga divindade pagã, parceiro da deusa-mãe. Esta surpreendente incursão nas lendas sobre o Carpinteiro difere de tudo o que até aqui tem sido escrito sobre ele. Diz o autor: "Em meio à s descobertas sobre o significado astronômico do nascimento de Jesus, o vulto de José foi crescendo de tal maneira que exigiu um trabalho exclusivo, dedicado somente a ele, como aquelas oferendas dedicadas aos deuses da antiguidade em seus nichos particulares. Para minha surpresa, o humilde carpinteiro foi paulatinamente se transformando em uma antiga divindade, um poderoso Titã cultuado no tempo da Deusa, cuja grandeza jaz disfarçada nos aparentemente inocentes contos evangélicos e seus apócrifos. Junto com esse deus, um planeta que ninguém ousaria incluir na Natividade ocupou o céu com seu sombrio espectro. José, muitas vezes representado adormecido na iconografia cristã, finalmente ergueu-se de seu leito, revelou sua identidade e cobrou sua parte no culto ao deus-sol do final da era de Ãries, à s portas da era de Peixes".

Jorge es uno de tantos en Madrid. Tiene las mismas virtudes y defectos que tú. El amargo despertar narra su historia cuando, tras una fatídica noticia personal, se levanta y no hay nadie. Sin más: nadie. Vivirás en la piel de una persona muerta por dentro y por fuera y que, sin embargo, sigue luchando por mantener su cordura. Imagínate en un barrio desconocido con tu camisa llena de sangre (¿Es la tuya?). Imagínate pidiendo ayuda a gritos cuando acabas de cometer un asesinato y que solo los perros logran contestar a tus súplicas. Imagínate entrando a sitios que nunca pensabas que ibas a entrar, comiendo lo que nunca en tu vida especulabas que ibas a probar y cometiendo los delitos que solo veías cada noche en el telediario. Imagínate que todo eso que haces es por tu supervivencia. Tu más completa y agónica supervivencia. Te recuerdo, si estás despistado, que estás solo. Vivirás también el viaje postrero de una civilización perdida y comprobarás que, por desgracia, estaremos todos condenados.
