Neuware - The reader of this book will be taken on a fascinating journey from the earliest days of the historic Robinson plantation of 150 years ago, to its present day name of the West River Plantation. Carved out of the wilderness of east Texas , the estate rose to immense prosperity during the industrial revolution, only to fall into inevitable decline and tragedy. Reduced to a few acres, and the home in disrepair in the late 1970s, the estate would be sold to the West family. The era of the once great plantation of 3500 acres was fast fading into history, as well as the memory of the Robinson family. But with the recent discovery of a multitude of artifacts by the West family, and the building of a museum on the estate, the dying plantation, and the memory of the Robinsons is beginning to live once again.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Genesis 11:30 says, 'Now Sarai was barren; she had no children.' It seems as if the family of Genesis has come to an end. Yet, God speaks directly into this situation. There is good news. Abram and Sarai will have a child. This journey from barrenness to childbirth begins with the faith of Abram.Barrenness is the condition of much of humanity today. There are many today who are empty and desolate. However, God is calling the barren by name. If the barren respond faithfully to God's call, their barrenness will turn into fruitfulness. The Lord will provide! The Lord Will Provide traces the steps of Abraham from the time the Lord called him to leave home for a land that the Lord would show him (Genesis 12:1) to the time he proved his willingness to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22:1-14).

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In 1971 Norma Guthkelch, retired neurosurgeon, published the first description of the Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS). Within the next several years John Caffey, pediatric radiologist, wrote several articles supporting the SBS theory. Very soon after, when infants were brought into hospital emergency rooms in the U.S.A. with brain hemorrhages without known accidental explanations such as auto accidents or high distance falls, almost routinely the hemorrhages have been attributed to SBS or related diagnoses resulting in criminal conviction of parents or caretakers. These and other issues such as inflicted child abuse, non-accidental trauma, failure to protect, and other diagnoses are reviewed in this book 'Since the original introduction of the SBS theory, conclusive evidence has emerged proving that these prosecutions have been founded upon tainted medical opinions and fundamentally flawed scientific methodology (i.e. junk science). It requires little imagination to understand the significant mental pain which parents undergo while grieving over the death of a child, as frequently occurs in these cases. Accusing this parent of murdering their child (with no real evidence) and putting the entire strength of the state behind this accusation is monstrous, when the entire accusation pivots upon facts which are now known to be false. Loss of job, loss of family and community ties follow the accusation. Moreover, the general public, the grand and petite juries, the states and the parties, all have an overwhelmingly strong interest in knowing if these prosecutions are founded upon reasonable interpretation of the facts - or - if the accusations are built around falsehoods and scientific impossibilities.' Quoted from the writings of Kent Holcomb.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The author will try to explain and encourage those that are seeking to marry that marriage is a holy estate instituted by God. Marriage was ordained for the life-long companionship, help and comfort which husbands and wives ought to have for each other. The author's deepest focus points are: Life-long Marriage and Finding the Right Mate.Many married couples do not keep the marriage vows they made. Because of that, I recommend marital counseling before marriage. The author does not focus too much on divorce because of his disbelief in divorce. It was Moses that executed the bill of divorce. He did it to protect the women because husbands would divorce their wives for anything just to marry another woman.Women have a moral personality and are not a thing that men may hand over to another, and then take her back again at his pleasure.The author believes there is not law instituting or commanding divorce. Most people use Matthew 19:9, where Jesus was only explaining what Moses meant. The marriage that God wants is a marriage of a life-long commitment; a forever happy home.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Quitting addiction to any substance, whether alcohol, cocaine, tranquilizers, heroin, tobacco, or one of the lesser known, is most frequently a very difficult process. Most of them are varied forms of the Alcoholics Anonymous '12 Step Program.' Virtually all of them report at best 50% success and more commonly only 10% ' sobriety one year from treatment. Dr. Neher has worked with several types of 'treatment' programs and found that they lacked two important elements. He found that when they included these two in any of them, more than 90% maintained their sobriety after one year. It should be noted that tracking patients (or clients) longer is almost impossible to do on a regular basis. However, 95% of those few who had the benefit of the two elements and who have been able to be followed, maintained their sobriety for the next five or more years. This book covers these, two critical elements, in detail.…
