Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Drawing from his personal experience as a young man affiliated with gangs and as a pastor later in life, author Leonard C. Jerkins asserts that it's time to change how we worship and praise God and congregate as a church. According to Jerkins, there is more unity on the streets than in today's churches. Instead of fighting sin, he maintains, we fight each other-we fight about our differences in traditions, our opinions about God's word, and our denominations.In the triumphant and motivating Gang Violence in the Church, Jerkins uses his life-changing personal-success story as a starting place for teaching others in need of spiritual guidance how to stop fighting and start living a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle through a genuine belief in and devotion to God.Gang Violence in the Church challenges our beliefs and asks us to question whether we truly seek the truth concerning God's word or just look for what we want his words to say. With Jerkins' honest and powerful teachings, everyone can find a rightful and righteous path to God with the purpose of improving ourselves and our communities.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - One of the most eventful and turbulent periods in American history, Richardson's latest volume in this series covers the period from the height of the Progressive Era, when Theodore Roosevelt, the wildly popular, bigger-than-life former President snorted and thundered against the country's two major parties while trying to reclaim the White House on his newly-formed Bull Moose Party.The years immediately prior to World War I also witnessed a broad movement for socialism in the United States, a period when the Socialist Party, boasting more than 119,000 dues-paying members and a vibrant press consisting of 323 publications, claimed nearly 1,200 elected officeholders, including at least seventy-four mayors, during the party's high-water mark of 1911-12.In addition to the extraordinary presidential campaign of 1912, in which which Roosevelt and Socialist Eugene V.

Frank Hanly and the Prohibition Party cost Charles Evans Hughes and the GOP the presidency in 1916.…
