There are at least 43 references to the blood of Christ in the New Testament. It's a vital subject. Yet, nowadays, there seems to be a decreasing interest in preaching about it. Indeed, it seems that some churches, in their ill-advised attempts to make Christianity more palatable, have all but removed the blood from their 'gospel.' But, as others from previous generations have noted, a bloodless gospel is both a useless and a hopeless gospel. In fact, a bloodless gospel is no gospel at all."In a day and age when 'certain men crept in unawares' to erroneously boast a cross-less, bloodless, Christ-less gospel, Miles McKee sets the biblical record straight with his exposition of the blood of Christ and its eternal power, its priceless value, its infinite glory and so much more." -Jon J. Cardwell

What does a blonde get on her intelligence test? Drool. Ace cub reporter Tressa Jayne Turner is carrying a full load--and we're not talking post-holiday pounds. Back in college for the fourth time (but who's counting!?), "Calamity Jayne" is looking to nab a raise from her stingy boss at the Gazette, Stan. So, what's to stop her from making the grade? Well, for starters her grandmother turned roommate rekindling an old flame, maid of honor madness run amok, a botched betrothal that's more than just schoolyard gossip, and a campus criminal who is out to teach the student body a lesson... one crime at a time. As Tressa navigates the halls of higher education, she finds herself torn not only between homework and investigating, but also between a man who likes her for herself and another man who wants to save her from herself. It's a case of murder and mayhem by the books...and failure is so not an option. (NOTE: This book was previously published under the title Calamity Jayne Goes to College.)

The meeting took place on August 9, 1941. World War II was in its second year, the British had won the Battle of Britain, but were still encircled by German U-Boats, and the British fleet was being decimated in the North Atlantic. In North Africa, a contest of armor was underway as Axis and Allied armies fought for control of Egypt, while Britain and her Commonwealth allies stood alone against the mighty German Wehrmacht. The British desperately needed more U.S. armaments and supplies, but most importantly, for the U.S. to throw its lot in with the Allies and join the war. In January of that year, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was sworn into office for his third term, realizing at last that U.S. isolationism was no longer a practical policy in a rapidly changing world. Roosevelt made no secret of his support for Britain and China, but grounds for bringing the United States into the war would not fully come until December 7, 1941, when the Japanese launched their infamous surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt, however, pictured a very different post-war world than his British counterpart, Winston Churchill. When he and Churchill met at what came to be known as the Atlantic Conference, Churchill's pleas for U.S. manpower and aid were accepted, but only under clear conditions. If the United States was to come to the aid of Britain, it would be for the purpose of defeating the Germans and the Japanese and not to support the insupportable institutions of empire. Britain and, by extension, France and Portugal, the only remaining major European shareholders in foreign empire, would have to commit to decolonization as a basic prerequisite of substantial U.S. assistance. Churchill, a vocal and forceful proponent of empire and a man of the generation that had conquered the world, did not receive this news well. On the other side of the world, British and allied European Asian colonies lay very much in the path of the Japanese imperial march into Southeast Asia. However, as the inevitability of war grew daily, the nationalist movement in India was also beginning to gather pace. Without India and Indian manpower, war with Japan would be lost before it could begin. The Indians in a sense could hold the British hostage, and ultimately, in exchange for Indian cooperation in the war, the British would first have to commit to a post-war independence process. Churchill wished to offer no encouragement to the Indians in this objective, nor to any other restive colonial territory encouraged to do the same, but in the end, he had no choice. In a somber ceremony held on August 14, 1941, he added his signature alongside Roosevelt's to a document that came to be known as the Atlantic Charter. Implicit in this declaration was a "New World Order," under which European colonialism would end, and independence, sovereignty, and self-determination would be basic rights for all people and nations. It was indeed a New World Order, the founding of a new age, but perhaps its most salient feature was less the advent of universal freedom than the decline of Britain as the leading world power and the emergence of the United States in its place.

Intimacy is where Brother Tagoe takes us in this well written book: Beyond the Veil. Among other images and analogies herein, Alfred takes us on a sacred journey through Scripture by looking at the type and shadow of the Old Testament Tabernacle of Moses. This movable structure contained three principle areas; the Outer Court, the Inner Court, and the Most Holy place (Holy of Holies). With amazing connectivity, Alfred is our tour guide for the expanded meaning these three areas of this Old Testament icon and at every point he relates it to our spiritual journey with Jesus. Herein, the journey becomes the destination and intimacy with our Lord is the result. Dr. Scott T. Kelso, Author Biblical Eldership; Back to the Future with Spirit Filled Leadership in the Local Church

People are fascinated by the concept of royalty. The notion stirs up sentiments of love, admiration, and hatred. We see ourselves in them, and yet we criticize them at times with indignation. While most monarchies today have been put aside or at least limited in their power, the concept of royalty cannot be erased from human consciousness. In the words of Jesus, Christians pray, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." The ultimate and most perfect monarchy is that of God himself, the sovereign of all creation. Through David and the story of the kingship, God taught us about his governance of the world and of his people. David was only human and at times the worthy subject of both praise and severe criticism. But in his relationship with God, we find a model for the people both then and today: suppleness to God's will; wholehearted pursuit of righteousness; sincere repentance from sin; mercy for others; and true worship of God, who alone is worthy.

The Talmud is by far the most important set of books in the Jewish faith aside from the Torah or the first five books of the Old Testament. In many ways, the Talmud may even surpass it in importance. I say this because if the Talmud did not exist, the laws that are written in the Torah would not make any sense. So, in this way, it is like Jewish Canon law. Just like Catholic Canon law explains biblical texts of the bible, so too does the Talmud. It does not only explain laws, but it goes into great depth on many other topics as well. While this book will serve as a general introduction, I am gearing this book more towards those in the occult. I do this because of several requests I have received to do so. Most books on the Talmud are written with an implied understanding that the reader is either Jewish or has some knowledge of Hebrew/Aramaic, even if rudimentary. I find this to be exclusionary to everyone else, especially the western practicing occultist. I also gear this book towards occultists because the Talmud itself has several instances of Magick that I feel are quite interesting. I will mention a few in this book. Though there will be no rituals at the end of the book, I think, as an occultist, you will gain a greater understanding of these texts. In this book, I will cover the following: My Experience with the Talmud The History and Makeup of the Talmud The Context in Which It Was Written and Compiled The Language Used in the Talmud. It's not only Hebrew by the way. Example of Torah Law Elucidation The Mention of Jesus In the Talmud The Talmud's Views on Non-Jewish People Occultism and Magick In the Talmud And Finally, some miscellaneous oddities of the Talmud. I hope you will enjoy it
