Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In the Pharisee In Us All, author Ronald N. Hesser presents an in depth research of the character traits of Pharisees. They challenged Jesus' ministry on many occasions, while at other times He sought them out for public debate and criticism. Descriptions of these incidents and dialogue compose over one third of the Gospels. Because Jesus had not yet been able to establish His New Covenant Church, He used the errors of the Pharisees to indirectly point out the character He wanted demonstrated in a New Covenant believer. Dr. Hesser examines seventeen areas in Scripture the Pharisees failed in, and he then suggests a positive trait in the Word for Christians to exemplify instead. This book is a must for all Christians, but will especially enlighten leaders in the Body of Christ.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - With refreshing humor, a conversational style, and a blending of conventional and original thought, author Jonathan Bryan observes that we alienate ourselves from God and one another; nonetheless, God retrieves us. In exploring this paradox, Bryan examines several quandaries of religion such as the meanings of 'God,' where we came from, why things go wrong, how to find an overarching meaning of the Bible, the policies of the biblical God, what happens next, and what to do about all this. The answers, both challenging and interesting, lead to what Bryan calls a 'retrieval spirituality.' Bryan's whimsical observations of his Labrador retriever, Jocko, provide analogies for explaining that just as Jocko retrieves sticks, so does God retrieve us, invite us to return to God. And just like Jocko, God remains faithful to us through thick and thin.It's a perfect book for those whose hearts yearn for a richer spiritual life, for groups discussing God, the Bible, and spirituality, and for anyone exasperated with ordinary religious writings.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In The Chronic Job Hopper, author Dave Wilkowske pulls down the curtain on the mythical American dream and reveals a jungle of wrong turns, lions, and bloodthirsty insects. Wilkowske's life story is a riveting and insightful portrait of the American workplace-like Barbara Ehrenreich's wildly successful Nickel and Dimed-with one essential difference: Wilkowske isn't pretending to be a laborer. This is his real life.In more than thirty-six years of chronic job-hopping, Wilkowske runs the gamut from high-buck corporate tech assignments to wading through raw sewage. And he tells it all-comic and tragic-with a striking balance of irony and rage. While Wilkowske's undiagnosed attention deficit disorder pulls him senselessly from one career mishap to another, he deftly recounts his debacles against the backdrop of emerging American history and culture from the 1960s to today.The Chronic Job Hopper is an eye-opening examination of the plight of the middle-class laborer, as well as a potent argument in favor of early screening and intervention for attention deficit disorder. It's a must-read for anyone who has or is facing the jungle of career transition without a map, a guide, or even bug spray.…

Zuckerman makes it clear that-to this date, even he is not sure how it all happened.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - At the turn of the century, little was known of the Alaskan interior. Even though miners had prospected and staked claims throughout the vast interior region, there was little or no production from those claims because no affordable transportation system was available to service them when and if they did start producing ore in paying quantities. In 1905, Congress authorized the U.S. Army to explore and develop transportation routes from coastal cities to the interior. One such undertaking completed in 1908, resulted in a wagon trail from Valdez to Fairbanks. That route is now known as the Richardson Highway. While the U.S. Army was busy searching for other viable inland routes, a railroad builder, Michael J. Heney, was exploring the possibility of building a railroad up the Copper River Valley from Cordova to the mines at Chitina. As a result of his entrepreneurship, the Copper River & Northwestern Railway came to be. The railway operated from 1911 to 1938. Following the shut down, the community of Cordova, acting in concert with the Federal Government, made several attempts to convert the railbed to a highway. In his own words, taken from his daily journal, the author describes a short period in history of one such attempt. Milepost 71 permits the reader to share with the author, that summer's experience, on a day-to-day basis, 50 years ago.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Notes from a Dying Planet is a concerned, passionate, and informed survey of the environmental problems facing our planet, with gems of succinct essays interspersed with the reality of daily news. Written from the perspective of a very well informed citizen with a solid scientific background, it conveys in clear language the many challenges we face, convinces us of the folly of continuing on our present course, and suggests useful steps that each of us as individuals can take toward making our planet a sustainable habitat for all species.' - Jeffrey A. McNeely, Chief Scientist, IUCN-The World Conservation Union, Gland, SwitzerlandInternationally respected neuroscientist Paul Brown asks why we are doing so little about overpopulation, global warming and the current mass extinction. He describes how these three threats could end civilization as we know it, and possibly finish off our entire species, by the end of this century. Brown examines the biological and cultural evolution of our species, and how they influence our behavior. He describes some of the proposed solutions to problems like the energy crisis, explains why they're too narrow in scope, and proposes broader approaches. He also takes us week by week through crucial events unfolding around the globe. Written for a lay audience, Notes from a Dying Planet provides all the background needed for each topic.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Rooted in God is not intended to be a literary masterpiece but as a remembrance of the late Father Kevin Wall, O.P.'s conferences. The conferences were taped and later compiled and transcribed into longhand. The hand written manuscript, having been in obscurity for many years have turned yellow and the ink faded which made it difficult to read. Instead of discarding the manuscript, I decided to retype it. While re-reading the conferences, chapter after chapter, I felt my heart burning within me like the two disciples felt on the way to Emmaus when Our Blessed Lord explained the Scriptures to them. It was then I decided to publish Fr. Kevin's conferences.Instead of describing the profundity and the clarity of Fr. Kevin's conferences, the best thing I can do is ask you to read the book.To quote Fr. Kevin, I submit to you the following:'It is by contemplation that we should simply come in contact with the great truths of Faith. If we are capable of being stirred, then our enthusiasm will overflow into the actions of our life. If we are not capable of being stirred, then nothing is capable of stirring us. Those who are capable of being stirred as by hearing a piece of music will be stirred, and if they are not capable of being stirred, nothing is capable to do it for them.''To fall in love with Godis the greatest of all romances,to seek Him,the greatest adventure;to find Him,the greatest human achievement.'-St. Augustine.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The United States Supreme Court was created in 1787 by the drafters of the Constitution almost as an afterthought, and it did very little in its early years. It soon turned out, however, that the Founders had wrought far, far greater than they knew. They had created a tribunal of Philosopher Kings. Surprisingly non-rigorous processes selected The Justices who inhabit these pages, and many have been barely suitable, or outright unsuitable for the job. For every creative, elemental force like Justice John Marshall there were many who did not belong on the Court, such as Justice Charles Whitaker who wept because he couldn't make up his mind about the cases he was called upon to decide. Most were, of course, competent enough to do their jobs more or less acceptably. And that has been the hallmark of our government institutions-do things well enough for respectable survival, perform brilliantly if possible when history demands, and correct your disasters with the benefit of hindsight when God gives you the opportunity. If the stories in this book seem familiar, there is a reason. The Supreme Court is an intensely human institution, and we all know what that is about.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Take heed America there are progressive changes happening you may not like. However, the author does leave the reader with a solution.Michael Solomon is just an ordinary independent citizen who has had enough of the rhetoric from politicians on both sides of the aisle; especially the Left. He is not a talk show host, so his voice has never been heard. However, he may be starting a revolution against the progressive changes that are tearing down the fibers of the fabric of America. In his new book 'Where Did My America Go ' the author challenges the American people to take a hard look around them at what is happening to this country before it is too late. He explains it with compassion and defines it in simple every day language that anyone can understand. His message is critical for the survival of America as it once was. He has witnessed the actions of the ACLU in their attempt, he believes, to carry out a plan to overthrow the American Government through political correctness. He believes that groups that articulate hatred are dismantling the pedestal that America once stood on. They use the constitution as a soapbox for reform without ever considering the long-range consequences of their actions. The author believes it is time to fight back. He has developed a plan to allow the silent majority to have their voice heard along with his. What follows is an examination of what has transpired in America throughout the last millennium and crossing into the new century. The author tackles sensitive issues in political America today, about which many people have expressed their anger, but have remained silent except in private circles. Solomon examines with bold retrospect the issues of the war in Iraq, the media, education, Tort Reform, racial discrimination, the Ten Commandments, the oil crisis, the Middle East, immigration, global warming and a host of other issues that concern most Americans. The author suggests that the New York Times may have succumbed to a self-serving, self-imposed, self-righteous form of extortion from terrorists. He examines how the press has and continually tries to influence the path of America through its biased reporting and skewed polls that are harmful to the American people and serve no one except their own agenda. Throughout the book Solomon constantly asks the reader if they are outraged yet If you are not, you will be as soon as you start to read 'Where Did My America Go ' No topic is safe. He makes a strong, compassionate and persuasive plea to join him on Flag Day, 2007 to wake up American politicians and tell them in a nonpartisan voice to 'Bring Back My America.' If you are ready for the next 'Boston Tea Party,' this is the book for you. A must read, especially in today's political enviornment.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - When Gabrielle, an anglid living in present day Manhattan, falls in love with her human follow, Simon Deveraux, she must make a choice-allow him to be sacrificed to the delicate 'plan,' or stand before it and rescue him from fate.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - These pages are a mirror that reflects the gamut of defining experiences common in countless families. Episodes of triumph, resiliency and victory abut periods of dispiriting failures, regrettable conflicts, and struggle. The realities of Jay and Baby's lives evoke more than sympathy, but empathy - where readers see themselves, their lives and their families. IF THIS BE NOT LOVE resonates on multiple levels and ultimately points to a simple yet poignant truism: i.e., regardless of the problems facing family units today, we are blessed and most fortunate, if we find ourselves within a family where love, loyalty, unity and commitment have been a mainstay. For the reader, who by tragic misfortune has not experienced such a family, hopefully this story will inspire and motivate him/her to become the one who sets the course and lays this foundation for generations to come.…
