Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - I thank the Living God for the opportunity to write this book. Power From On High follows the first book I wrote a few years ago (Reflection of Christ, Gods power inside the prison cell) Over these past few years I have been a true witness to the miraculous power of our risen Saviour. Throughout Gods precious word, there are many verses which speak about letting His deeds and mighty works be made known. This is why I have written this book. It contains many wonderful testimonies of Gods healing power. It is only but fair that I give individuals a chance to read these wonderful works of the Lord. I have shared much of my own experiences with Gods healing power as well as many testimonies that I have received through the healing prayer and anointed prayer cloths that have been sent all over the world. Really many books could be written, what I have shared in this book is such a small portion of all that I have expereinced. In everything God alone receives all of the Praise, Glory and Honour. He alone is worthy, we serve a mighty and awesome God. His power, love and compassion is still present today.(Malachi Ch3 Vs6). Please be encouraged, every testimony you will read is a true and living testimony. This book is all about the Lord not about me, I beleive Gods power will flow into your own situations in life, whether you are suffering with illness or in any other way. It was on the 7th November 1982 that I put my trust in Christ and was born into his Kingdom. That day the greatest miracle of all took place, the miracle of Salvation. In June 2000 I had an encounter with God when he called me to Prison Ministry, seven years on I stand in complete awe of our God. I will always make his deeds and mighty works known. As I always tell people I am just an ordinary guy who serves an extraordinary God. Praise His Holy name.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The poetry in this collection is informed by the memory of ancestors and is motivated as well by my personal struggle to define a vision of life. The poems are arranged loosely into five categories: Ancestors and Memory, Passages, The Natural World, The Spiritual Life, and Love and Other Essences. The classification is loose, because each piece is part of the greater story and may play more than one such role in the telling. This work is very personal, but I share it, because this is the reason why we come to the world, to share, just in the event a word we make may create a beauty somewhere or ease some burden another may carry. I hope you find something in what is written here that helps in the celebration of life unfolding.…

We know by the Word of God that Jesus is coming soon. How soon We are not to know. Many yearsback, and not so many years back, during all of the wars that were going onpeople thought it was the tribulation and Israel wasn't even mentionedyet.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This work is based on the fact that the Bible is the Word of God, without error or contradiction, and acceptance of the fact that the historical progression of the seven letters to the Churches, and the seven parables on the Kingdom of Heaven are related to the seven periods of the Church Age. Each Age reflects the historical social, political, moral, and religious conditions of that period. Topics discussed in this work includes: the Tribulation Period, the abomination that causes desolation, the number 666 as a human social system, the Battle of Armageddon, the two Witnesses, and the 'place' prepared for the two women in Revelation chapter twelve. The Battle of Armageddon enabled the Jewish people to return to Palestine and bring an end to the desolation period. A turning point in the study came when it was discovered that the end of the desolation period; the end of Daniel's 1,290 years; and the end of the protection of the two 'women' in the 'place' God prepared for them, all occurred in the year AD 1970. The year 1970 marks the beginning of 'The Time of the End.' It is interesting to note that the revealing of 'the man of sin' resulted in social upheavals of the past thirty years; the rise in terrorism; global warming; and the melting of ice caps around the world. Scientists and others have documented events related to 'The Time of the End' which will culminate with a great catastrophe when the seventh trumpet is blown on the 'great and terrible Day of the wrath of God.' Several passages in the Bible describe the eruption of volcanoes. It's time to wake up because our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - They call him 'America's Mayor.' But to blacks that title sugarcoats Rudy Giuliani's real reputation as one of the most racially divisive leaders in the nation. Peter Noel's book puts Giuliani's often-ignored record of oppressing the 'other New York' front and center in the 2008 presidential race.Noel was a witness to 'Giuliani time' in New York. As the race beat journalist for The Village Voice, he reported exclusively on the police brutality that rained down on blacks, and the denigration of black leadership by Giuliani. In this collection of his exposés, Noel provides stunning insights into the most notorious events of Giuliani's tenure, including the execution-style killing of Amadou Diallo and the sadistic torture of Abner Louima. Both men-like many black victims of Giuliani's stop-and-frisk policing-were innocent of any wrongdoing.This brutality sparked a new black activist movement. Scores, including Jesse Jackson, were arrested-and Peter Noel was there to cover it. No journalist was more insightful about the rise of Al Sharpton, Khallid Muhammad's 'Million Youth March,' and Giuliani's demonization of David Dinkins, the city's first black mayor. There are interviews with major political players, inside accounts of the shifting alliances and violent conflicts between ethnic groups, and a stinging critique of the white-dominated media. And then there is Peter Noel's interview with Giuliani, which took the form of a street fight in Harlem.In these eloquent, often searing pieces, written in an outraged and authentic voice, Peter Noel spoke truth to the power of an 'Afriphobic' mayor. In this revealing book, he still does.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The author lived seven years in the Congo as a servant of the Belgian government. He fostered deep bonds with the primitive Sonde tribe and gained the full confidence of Kianza, their illiterate tribal chirf, who inspired this book.The deep knowledge of the earliest African life is lost forever because those who knew it could not write and those who had learned to write never knew it. Primitive African life is now overshadowed by a brand new 'Africa in transition'. This development took less than 75 years. Original tribal life in Africa is covered with a handful of stories as told by the chief and his father. The social hierarchy of the tribe, their laws and enforcement, worship and witchcraft, slavery and the role of ghosts, initiation processses into manhood and various secret societies get to the glue that secured the social order of a tribe that was only one step beyond the original hunter-gatherer's way of life.…
