A sketch of St. Francis of Assisi in modern English may be written in one of three ways. Between these the writer must make his selection; ... First, he may deal with this great and most amazing man as a figure in secular history and a model of social virtues. ... Second, he may go to the opposite extreme, and decide, as it were, to be defiantly devotional. ... Third, he may try to do what I have tried to do here; ... I am here addressing the ordinary common man, sympathetic but sceptical, and I can only rather hazily hope that, by approaching the great saint's story through what is evidently picturesque and popular about it, I may at least leave the reader understanding a little more than he did before of the consistency of a complete character

Concise Verse by Verse Paraphrase Notes on Prophetic Books of the Old Testament including Ezra and NehemiahMany Christians are not too familiar with prophetic books of the Old Testament. Stories from Genesis, about Moses, and King David are preached often from the pulpit, but the message from Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah, etc., are absent from the mind of most Christians. They are also least taught in the church. Because of their length and ancient Jewish historical context, they are difficult reading and hard to understand. Therefore, a concise verse by verse note of these books will help the reader to understand God's important message through Old Testament prophets.

It will take a journey to Scotland, a dangerous job, an unexpected attack, and a leap of faith for Sally to let the light of love truly shine.

Vince Dandro might be going through the quietest quarter-life crisis of all time. He lives alone, works in a comic book shop, and has a crush on his coworker he can't seem to act on. Like an old comic book, his life's colors have started to fade. Everything brightens when Vince's long-lost friend Griff appears on his doorstep in the middle of a blizzard. They were roommates in college, so close back then that Griff's girlfriend called them "lifebuddies" -- but Vince's love for Griff had ended the friendship, he thought, forever. They haven't spoken in years. Why has Griff shown up again? And, more importantly, can Vince handle his return? Vince and Griff are two twentysomethings struggling to find their places in the world and in each other's lives. This is a story of friendship and love, both unrequited and requited, and of learning how to fly through the post-college void, which just might hold more than a cranberry hush.

It is a divine order that good is rewarded with good. After Allah Ta'ala whose favours are beyond calculation, it is the one who was sent by Allah Ta'ala as the mercy to the worlds, Muhammad PBUH the last Messenger who was the greatest benefactor mankind has ever had. In this day, when neither have we the ability to see nor converse with the Prophet PBUH we have either forgotten his favours upon us, or we do not appreciate them. One must remember, however, that truth, even if ignored or forgotten, still remains the truth. The Prophet PBUH was sinless, and had the guarantee of Allah's Ta'ala eternal and infinite love, yet he spent night after night, day after day, begging Allah Ta'ala for our salvation. The physical torture hurled at him by the opposition for propagating Islam, the psychological anguish suffered by him when seeing his beloved followers persecuted and the mental torment undertaken by him in his unending concern for his people are all but a small part of the debt that we owe to this selfless man PBUH. And yet, Allah Ta'ala has not only commanded the sending of salutations upon the Prophet PBUH, but in fact Divine generosity knows no bounds in respect to the reward in lieu of it. For instance one Hadith states, "Whoever prays once for blessings upon Muhammad is blessed himself ten times over by the One who sent him." Muslim This is Allah's Ta'ala sheer blessing upon us that we should be rewarded for thanking Allah's Messenger PBUH for what he has done for us. As love for the Messenger is a part of Eman, so should we make Salawat upon him a part of our daily routine.

"Es gibt zwei wichtige, publizierte Schriftstücke über die Physiologie der Geburt und die grundlegenden Bedürfnisse gebärender Frauen. Ersteres ist ein vor tausenden von Jahren geschriebenes, extrem umfangreiches Buch. Auf den ersten Seiten dieses Bestsellers befinden sich einige Zeilen, die suggerieren, dass es zwischen dem Verzehr der Frucht vom Baum der Erkenntnis (sprich man weiß zu viel oder hat einen mächtigen Neokortex entwickelt) und den Schwierigkeiten der menschlichen Geburt eine Verbindung gibt. Am Ende des Buches wird über die Geburt eines legendären Mannes berichtet, dessen Mission es war, die Liebe zu propagieren. Seine Mutter fand eine Strategie den menschlichen Nachteil zu überwinden: Bescheiden gebar sie ihr Kind nur in Anwesenheit von nicht-menschlichen Säugetieren in einem Stall.Im Hinblick auf die Länge ist das zweite Schriftstück das Gegenteil zum Ersten. Es ist ein kurzes, von Ruth Ehrhardt geschriebenes Heft. In einer so kleinen Seitenzahl alles Essentielle zu vereinen, ist eine Meisterleistung. Ich hoffe, dass auf allen fünf Kontinenten alle schwangeren Frauen, Hebammen, Doulas, Ärzte/Ärztinnen, etc. sich die Zeit nehmen, den Inhalt dieses Meisterwerkes zu verinnerlichen: Es wird einen Wendepunkt in der Geschichte der Geburt und somit in der Geschichte der Menschheit mit sich bringen."- Michel Odent

This treatise was written in 1663 during John Bunyan's incarceration in the Bedford prison and it was first published as a pocket edition in 1674 after his release from prison. Noted in his own "Epistle to the Reader," Mr. Bunyan's desire for Christians to have a pocket reader of very practical Christianity is, perhaps, something quite needed for Christians today. Among his contemporaries, and even among those following him, were very devout and pious men of God, who had written "Bodies" of practical divinity or practical Christianity that were hundreds, even thousands, of pages long. This splendid work is concise, yet full of practical, Biblical wisdom. Our edition of this work, as well as the editor's advertisement, come from a three volume collection edited by George Offor, Esq., and entitled, The Whole Works of John Bunyan. George Offor's edition of Bunyan's works was published in Glasgow in 1862.Readable 11 pt. font places this work in the large print category.
