    Islam today presents a challenge not only to westerners but to all peoples around the globe, including Muslims themselves! In fact, many Muslims would prefer to offer the wrold a picture of Islam that is quite different from the one painted by them and about them in recent years.Non-Muslims see in this religion and way of life a vivid and contrasting mosaic - politically, socially, and economically.The author says: "I feel for Muslims as persons: they are ion dismal slavery. On the human level, most of them are nice people. many of them a re kind and decent. But becuase all of them are under a cruel and ruthless taskmaster... Muslims are lost not because they are fundamentalists, fanatics, liberals or even just simply Muslims. No. They are lost because they are away from Christ, the only savior."

    - A Model for Understanding the Gospel of John
    av John A. Pople
    288,-

    John's Gospel begins:"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made."This opening reflects the presentation of the Creation sequence in the first book of the Bible. Beyond this, we hypothesize that John's Gospel presents Jesus' life and ministry as a spiritual parallel to the physical creation sequence in Genesis. This makes John's Gospel markedly different form the other three Gospels, which portray a more chronological narrative.This spiritual creation structure is employed in interpreting John's Gospel, though the interpretations are not constrained by this thought. Successive chapters in this analysis consider the successive days of the spiritual creation sequence in John's gospel; with an expositional section and an exhortational one. This couplet is repeated seven times in the book, for each of the spiritual days. In each chapter, the spiritual equivalent of the component in the 'physical day' of the Genesis creation is considered alongside the presentation of Jesus Christ in each "spiritual day" of John's Gospel.The final chapter addresses questions of overall conceptual format to ensure that we have not "missed the forest for the trees," i.e.:- How are the Father and Son glorified from a spiritual creation sequence embedded in a Gospel?- Are there othe portions of scripture patterned this way and, if so, what do we gain perceiving the spiritual creation sequence within them?- How does the perception of John's spiritual creation help us to be better disciples of Jesus Christ?It is hoped the analysis presented in John's Creation will answer these questions and therefore prove of genuine worth to one walking the path of discipleship in Christ.

  • - The Art of Moshe Rynecki, 1881-1943
    av Moshe Rynecki
    160,-

    Moshe Rynecki used his paintbrush and palette to document and chronicle the life of his community-Jewish people of Warsaw, Poland. Some artists, however, do more than simply document the subjects that they see and watch-they use the canvas to reveal something new-to show us that which we did not see at first, that which we might not consider if we had observed the subject ourselves. While some might have seen a group of men sitting at a table studying the Talmud, Rynecki reveal the Rabbi gesticulating as he talks, he shows the men's spines bent from spending so much time studying, he shows the tallit wrapped across the shoulders of those who have put their heads down for a brief rest, and he makes visible the light that gently streams into the darkened room.Rynecki's drive and ambition to paint came early in life and it came from within. When he was five years old he used chalk and crude brushed to paint on the walls and floors of his parents' home. As he grew older, he always carried a sketchbook with him so that he could quickly draw that which caught his attention-people, their expressions, their hands.While Rynecki spent much of his life painting the Jewish community, he also witnessed a great deal of change to his country, from the almost constant political turmoil that characterized Poland's brief independence between the World Wars, to the onset of Soviet aggression, and Nazi brutality at the start of the Second World War.Rynecki, much to his son's dismay, willingly lived inside the walls of the Warsaw Ghetto. While his son warned him that the Nazi forced were not to be trusted, he only said, "If you are right my son, then let me go where my brothers and sisters go. And if it's death, so be it." Ultimately, Rynecki was deported to the Majdanek concentration camp where he perished.If you are interested in this book, you may also be interested in Surviving Hitler in Poland: One Jew's Story.

  • av Murray Leatherdale

    Nipissing from Brule to Booth focuses early Canadian history onto an area that stretches from the confluence of the Mattawa and Ottawa Rivers, up the Mattawa River to Trout Lake, over the La Vase portages (the height of land), across Lake Nipissing and down the French River to its mouth at Georgian Bay. Considered by many as one of the finest recreation areas in Ontario, North Bay straddles the height of land between Lake Nipissing, drained by the French River as it cuts its way through the Precambrian Shield, and Trout Lake, drained by the Mattawa River, which cuts through the Shield in the opposite direction.This route played an important role in the discovery of Canada, a transportation artery for its riches. It was used continuously during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by explorers, fur traders, missionaries and lumbermen.It considers this historically significant conduit from its geological origins through an examination of the social and cultural behaviour of its indigenous peoples, the Nipissings, to the early European explorers and finally, with the early Lumberman; a survey of the early years in the Nipissing area, in the years before the white settlement began in earnest.The research for this book was done almost entirely from the original source materials in The Jesuit Relations and the personal diaries of various explorers. The Jesuit Relations is a collection of letters and reports sent home to the Father Provincial in France by the Jesuit Missionaries in New France spanning the period from 1605 to 1795.

  • - Tabular Evidence of a Monument in Harmony with the Universe
    av Joseph Turbeville
    193,-

    An awareness and appreciation of the beauty of symmetry and harmony that can be found in all of nature must surely have been responsible for the intuitive leap of the author's imagination to cause the creation of these mathematical tables. Number summations and symmetrical combinations discovered in the tables represent many of the exact measurements made at the Great Pyramid of Giza. Other numbers that occur continually in the tables represent physical earth measurements of such things as size, density, angular velocity, and rotational energy, or harmonics thereof. There were some synchronistic events involved in the creation of this book and the author has chosen to show such happenings as side notes in the Appendix in order to minimize any aura of mysticism that might be cast over these tables.For an autographed copy of the book, or for more information, visit the author's website at www.eyeofagiant.com.Joseph's second book with Trafford, New Tabular Evidence of a Monument in Harmony with the Universe, is also available for sale here.

    - The History of Naples Municipal Airport
    av Nancy B Fesseden Ph D
    217

    During the early days of aviation in Collier County, Florida, planes landed on a golf course or on the beach. But, that all changed in December 1943. World War II clamored for more pilots, more gunners, and more aircraft. The Naples Airdrome was built and suddenly the skies over Naples, Florida were filled with P-39s, P-40s, B-17s, and RP-63s. The orange "Pinball" (RP-63) participated in the Army Airforce's flexible gunnery training program. Hundereds of pilots and gunners were trained for combat and sent to the Pacific or European fronts.Here is the story of an airport and it's people. Follow the making of an airfield, hollowed out in the sawgrass and swamps of Collier County. From alligator wrestling, bivouacs and beach parties to tragedies, hurricanes, and disasters, learn all about the life at Naples Airdrome. Here is the sweeping story of an airport, from military occupation in 1941 to aviation's premier destination for the rich and famous in the 1980s. Here is a rich fascinating history of the Naples Municipal Airport's spirit and mission to the world of aviation.

    Having been pushed to a cliff, where thousands have fatally fallen under the bullets of BIR soldiers in particular, having been trapped in a genocide calculated to wipe them off like "rats" in the words of a dictator, a subjugated people get back on their feet, determined, more than ever, not to yield to the servitude imposed by a neighboring country of equal status. Against the backdrop of agony over departed loved ones who have fought a good fight of resistance and those who must continue to do so for posterity, some of the poems also muse about familiar human struggles and other aspects of human nature and life in general. Consistent with the author's previous books of poetry, Felix Bongjoh in Angle of Angels has tried to pay attention to both form and substance, always giving preference across his poems to criteria of literary merit, including metaphor and symmetry. The poems, most of which are written in free verse, are both accessible and absorbing.

  • - Fitness Analysis for Sport: Academy of Excellence for Coaching of Fitness Drills
    av Bert Holcroft
    376,-

    The Holcroft saga, a rugby story the like of which, may never have been equalled in the history of the game. It begins over a century ago, when Mr. George Holcroft, was given charge of Leigh St. Peters R.L.F.C. in 1889. He married and when his family grew up, Jack, Harry, William and Tom all played for local teams. They married and George's grandsons Bert and Bill also played. Bert Holcroft has been a distinguished servant for the game of Rugby all his life. He holds coaching certificates from BOTH the Australian and British governing bodies - one of only a handful of men to achieve such an honour in the game's history. For 20-odd years Bert Holcroft has had one of the unlikeliest jobs in sport - teaching Australian Rugby Coaches how to coach! Considering the Australian dominance of World Rugby in recent years, that might seem a par with taking coal to Newcastle. But make no mistake, Bert Holcroft has done as much as anyone to ensure Australia's re-emergence as a major Rugby power. On the face of it, Australia wouldn't seem to need any outside help, let alone from a Pom. Their record of only one Test defeat since 1978 speaks for itself. But Bert's reputation is nation-wide "down under" - quite simply he's one of the best in the business. Bert, who played for Leigh between 1950-60, has spent much of his latter years Down Under lecturing to top-grade coaches in New South Wales. Born and bred in Cameron Street, Leigh, Bert has few peers when it comes to teaching the basics of the 13 a side game. Since emigrating in the late 60's, Bert has dedicated his life to coaching and fitness techniques. Teams in Queensland, New South Wales and Sydney have all come under his influence - often with spectacular results. Bert's credentials are impeccable. Last summer, he achieved the highest accolade in Australia - his Grade Three certificate personally signed by the then Australian league chairman Kevin Humphreys and the Director of Coaching, Peter Corcoran. Three years earlier, Bert has sailed through his Grade One and Two with flying colours. In 1953, he was awarded his senior coaching certificate in England. Bert, who held a number of posts at Hilton Park before emigrating to Australia, has spent a lot of his time heavily involved with Rugby in the universities there. He became director of coaching for the University of New South Wales and later coach of the Combined Universities side. Coaching Accreditation awarded by the Australian Institute of Sport, Department of Sport and Recreation NSW and the NSW Rugby League for administration, as well as being awarded National Coaching Certificates in both Britain and Australia - one of only a handful of people to do so. Eventually the offer of a job in Sydney came - to coach Premiership glamorous club, Eastern Suburbs.

Dr. Sharyn Salsberg Ezrin, an applied psychologist, faced an unexpected health crisis that led to her having to rebuild her work and life over a period of three years. This book originated from the discovery that many other baby-boomers like her had stories of their own transitions.Her advice on facing an unplanned transition will help you understand how the process can become healing or beneficial. She also offers a framework for planned transitions, an approach she has used and developed over the years in her professional practice. Her wealth of insight and experience is enriched by inclusion of transition stories she collected during in-depth interviews. Ultimately, Salsberg Ezrin believes a work or life transition is an end in itself, not just a means to an end. In this book, she shows that the key to moving through and beyond a crossroads in your life is to treat the transition as a time to build a new foundation for whatever comes next.

    Crozier: Four Days in September 1865 is a factual account in story form of how a Confederate soldier from Texas became a hero in the small southern town of Newberry, South Carolina, in 1865. It is the story of a young man, long a prisoner in a Union prison camp near Chicago, who upheld his character, his principles, and his courage in the face of death in protecting two young ladies from insults from a US Colored soldier. He then protected an innocent stranger from harm when the stranger was wrongfully arrested for Crozier's actions. It is rare that one's man's presence for such a short period of time can have such a positive impact on a community as that of Calvin Crozier. His story is one that deserves retelling. It is one where character and courage transpire, but also can carry over upon future generations.This is also a brief look at the soldiers that carried out an illegal execution while occupying the South immediately following the Civil War. The 33rd US Colored Troops are a contrast of the renowned 54th Massachusetts in background, training, character, and leadership of their officers. It is a brief look based on documented facts not intended to discredit who and what these men were, but to present them in a factual account of the settings and circumstances of their brief existence in the South during and immediately following that terrible period in American history.
