Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Sow Your Fallow Ground begins the discussion of how you choose what action to take for social justice. You must be the judge of why to take action, but the reasons to do so are fully explained in the Bible. The reason we have the power to choose is our ability to imagine the future effects of immediate choices; still, we often neglect that God-given ability.Sow Your Fallow Ground is about communication in light of the science of human action-the communication that separates humankind from lesser life forms. These concepts merge easily with the authentic Bible, in spite of the belief by many that the Bible and natural science are mutually exclusive. The science of praxeology, which is the common name for human action, teaches us how we make hundreds of choices every day. How we make those choices is a 'value-free' science; still, without some kind of rudder, compass, or guiding star, we drift into every kind of faulty behavior from unhealthy addictions to economic booms, busts, and wars. There is a very important connection between the infallible Bible, human action science (neither humanism nor psychology), and economics as a single subject. Like the biblical Trinity or a three-legged stool, they are different aspects of the same thing-the choices we make.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'A fascinating read . history that has never before been revealed. I highly recommend this book to the young and old who thirst for true knowledge of African ancestry.'-Lisa HaywoodThe Saga of the Early Warri Princes narrates the circumstances and time of Prince Iginua's exile from the Edo Kingdom in West Africa in the late fifteenth century and the establishment of the Iginua Dynasty. With vivid details, author Chris O'mone delivers the intriguing story of this little-known piece of African history.By the order of the Oba, young Prince Iginua was sent to establish a subordinate kingdom in the riverine settlements of Itsekiri near the Edo Kingdom. He was also charged with controlling and supervising the Portuguese trade. Effectively banished from his country in the midst of an economic upheaval caused by European trade, Prince Iginua nevertheless took his loyal followers with him to the settlements. Here, he established a dynasty that survived and prospered in adverse environmental circumstances.Remarkably, the Iginua Dynasty rivaled the Edo Kingdom by embracing the same European trade, religion, and education that had so disrupted the Edo Kingdom. But perhaps even more remarkable was how Prince Iginua's descendants came to be related to the Royal House of Braganza, which ruled Portugal and Brazil for centuries.The Saga of the Early Warri Princes offers a detailed historical account, ideal for general readers and scholars alike.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Jerry was recruited by Gonzaga University during the summer of 1951. His thirty-year run as a basketball player, coach, and diversified educator in Washington State began in September of that year. The new coach, Hank Anderson, led the team on a long march to becoming the great nationally recognized basketball program that exists at Gonzaga University today. Jerry's memoirs show his enormous appreciation for Gonzaga University and his pride in being a part of that beginning greatness. Jerry started as a freshman on the first Anderson team. During four years of competition, he amassed an incredible 1,670 rebounds. Sixty years later, that record still stands! Unbelievably, the next-closest player is 760 behind. This is a record that might never be broken! He is still in the top ten in scoring and a member of the over-forty-point club. At one time, he held all the scoring records. His standing jump was 11'1''. For those who don't know, that's 13 inches above the rim. At 6'4'', he jumped center for Gonzaga in over one hundred games and controlled 90 percent of them!

During an evening visit to his son-in-law's home, Jerry discovered an inspirational force that set in motion an autobiographical explication dedicated to his family. Todd Harrison, Jerry's son-in-law, showed him a brief composition written by Todd's grandfather that described his life and the settling of a Mormon family in early Utah. The manuscript is cherished by Todd and his family because it recounts the hardships, experiences, and successes of their ancestor. It became obvious to Jerry that such a composition would be an ideal way to share parts of his boyhood and professional life more intimately with family. For whatever reasons, Jerry felt that he had not been able to fully share his life experiences with his family. He has stated, 'I just didn't talk much to the kids about other experiences in my life while they were growing up.' When Jerry began composing this book, the missed stories flowed effortlessly from his memory. In this text, he recounts personal stories about the conflicts, hardships, and successes he experienced while growing up and describes how he overcame a lifelong debilitating handicap.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is a series of reflections about the journey of mankind toward their God, whether they believe or not. It is dedicated to the struggle of all who live their lives with love for their neighbor and do the best they can with what they are given. It is further dedicated to those non-believers who live a life of goodness with real concern for their fellow man. We are all on a journey, whether we want to admit it or not. We only have so much time to accomplish what needs to be done. But in the end, only one thing matters. We are to be united with our loving God for all eternity. The bulk of the book concerns the promise that America holds for all people. In no way are the reflections intended to belittle any group that is true and honest in their efforts to help its followers achieve the goal of unity with God. The intention of the author is to provide some insight to the problems we face as a people. The problems are many, but first and foremost we must have the same interests for others that we have for ourselves. All of the problems we face have the same root. Thus far in our civilizations we have had much education and instruction. Much of this knowledge has lead to misunderstanding and has not addressed the root of our problems. The root is that we are not capable to love others as we love ourselves. If we do not address the root of the problem, then we will not be better off tomorrow than we are today or were yesterday. 'NOTHING WILL CHANGE FOR THE BETTER'.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Suicide now is the eighth cause of death in the United States, yet it is discussed in hushed whispers or not at all. SILENCE is based, in part, on a true story about a wealthy, respected, successful family; what many of us would label the 'perfect' family. On first blush, it appears to be a story about reversal of fortunes, but on deeper analysis it is about self-destructive personalities that lead to suicide. SUICIDE gives the viewing audience the chance to recognize the depths of these tragedies on small doses until they can get to the point of saying, 'Suicide is not a personal tragedy but a family watershed.' The guilt left behind immobilizes even the most stable families and leaves lifetime emotional scars. Suicide can be addressed when families grasp the warning signs; rage, hopelessness, loss of control and important feelings of coping with life. SILENCE ends by giving people a philosophy that is believed to be the germ of heading off suicide- 'WE all have time to understand and know each other, but we don't.'.…
