Fear and Trembling: Conversations Every Christian Must Have helps people place their beliefs under the light of scripture. In doing so, readers can determine if those beliefs are of this world or biblical in origin.Author Christopher Johnson shares, "In my efforts to spread the gospel, I have come across all sorts of belief systems that are not supported by a lick of scripture. But the believers will fight tooth and nail to justify their views by misinterpreting scripture to the nth degree. For example, some people claim to be followers of Christ, but they refused to be called Christians, or some read the book of Revelation literally and surmise that Israelites are the only ones going to heaven. In each case they build their theology around their views which are totally against scripture."This book offers an unbiased approach to help believers question assumptions and expand their knowledge of scripture.

Craved from our first breath until the last, love's splendor guides us toward our salvation. Challenging anyone who dares to take on the gauntlet called life. From a womb's darkness to the light of day, along the end of each, we're rocked by love's lullabies beneath stars and dreams. Why our circled beginnings starts out as the purest form of having nothing. As our tiny hands holds small change, growing in the wealth of each embrace. Of being overwhelmed by love's warmth and stunned by its chills; these seasons come and go. From the lessons in how we learn to crawl before you can walk. As each step taken allows everyone to find their balance, our self-worth. For love is a priceless piece of art, as its hues will take on different emotions. We're drawn by each stroke throughout living. Of our belief in God, family, friends, goals, loss, success, failure, and truth, these torches we pass down to our children. So permit me this chance of being my model, and I will paint you such stories of love. Get comfortable in your favorite chair, or just lie in your bed snuggled beneath the sheets. I shall attempt to turn you up, down, and around throughout loves' magical. It's amazing without any strings attached. And at its end, you may think I was right there the whole time.

It offers an insightful and wide-ranging look at the actions leading to the passage of the Weeks Act in 1911-landmark legislation that established a system of well-managed forests in the East, the South, and the Great Lakes region-along with case studies that consider some of the key challenges facing eastern forests today.The book begins by looking at destructive practices widely used by the timber industry in the late 1800s and early 1900s, including extensive clearcutting followed by forest fire that devastated entire landscapes. The authors explain how this led to the birth of a new conservation movemthat began simultaneously in the Southern Appalachians and New England, and describe the subsequprotection of forests in New England (New Hampshire and the White Mountains); the Great Lakes region (Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota), and the Southern Appalachians.Following this historical background, the authors offer eight case studies that examine critical issues facing the eastern national forests today, including timber harvesting, the use of fire, wilderness protection, endangered wildlife, oil shale drilling, invasive species, and developmsurrounding national park borders.Forests for the People is the only book to fully describe the history of the Weeks Act and the creation of the eastern national forests and to use case studies to illustrate currmanagemissues facing these treasured landscapes.
