How and why we really can have peace in the Middle East - with a sound and Biblical Gospel Eschatology message. The eschatology (study of Bible prophecy) of Islam, Israeli Zionism, and Evangelical Zionism perpetuates conflict in the Middle East because each system holds to three un-biblical views: There is "sacred" or "holy land" today for God's people to conquer and inhabit.The Second Coming of Jesus or the Messiah is going to come "very soon," to usher in...the end of the age "holy war" of Armageddon or the battle of God and Magog.Scripture is clear that the New Covenant age believers are "in Christ," not "in the land." And John, in Revelation, correctly identified the end of the Old Covenant age war of Armageddon or God and Magog to be fulfilled "shortly" and "soon" in the historical events of the Roman/Jewish war just before the Temple was destroyed in AD 67-AD 70, not in the future.Since Muslims often argue that Jesus never claimed to be God, this critical topic receives a great deal of coverage, proving that the Scriptures teach the contrary. This is especially true since modern Jews also reject Jesus' claims to be God and accuse Christians of "inventing a new religion separated from the OT or rabbinic traditions."

This is a book filled with the events of a hardworking American man that was enlisted in the armed services, and was mentally wounded in war. His life events and success with music after his discharge.

With more than one-third of library users under the age of 12, it may be said that children's services drive public libraries. Still, many administrators don't fully appreciate how integral these services are to their institutions. Sullivan conducts a friendly tour in this comprehensive reference, covering both innovative and standard practices in children's services. From the collection and programming, to homework support, reference and reader's advisory, to promoting and budgeting, children's services parallel other library services and are no less important. Part of ALA s Fundamentals Series, this overview provides hands-on, proven strategies for those on the front lines, while addressing questions critical to the long-term success of children's library services: Why are children's services so important? How do they fit into the library overall? What do children's librarians do all day? Why should children's librarians focus on administrative matters? What are the hot issues and cutting-edge trends? Those who want to become children's librarians, experienced and new children's librarians, library administrators and trustees alike will find this new "e;bible"e; of children's services sets the record straight: Children s services are the heart of the library.

Mike Sullivans time-tested approach focuses students on the fundamental skills they need for the course: preparing for class, practicing with homework, and reviewing the concepts. In the Ninth Edition, College Algebra has evolved to meet todays course needs, building on these hallmarks by integrating projects and other interactive learning tools for use in the classroom or online. New Internet-based Chapter Projects apply skills to real-world problems and are accompanied by assignable MathXL exercises to make it easier to incorporate these projects into the course. In addition, a variety of new exercise types, Showcase Examples, and video tutorials for MathXL exercises give instructors even more flexibility, while helping students build their conceptual understanding.

Internationally renowned and a crucial classroom text, The Arts of China has been revised and expanded by the late Michael Sullivan, with Shelagh Vainker. This new, sixth, edition has an emphasis on Chinese art history, not as an assemblage of related topics, but as a continuous story. With updated attributions and dating throughout and a revised bibliography, it reflects the latest archaeological discoveries, as well as giving increased attention to modern and contemporary art and to calligraphy throughout China's history, with additional discussions of work by women artists. Visual enhancements include all new maps, and approximately one hundred new color illustrations--bringing the total to well over four hundred color illustrations. Written in the engaging and lucid style that is Sullivan's hallmark, The Arts of China is readily accessible to general readers as well as to serious students of art history. Sullivan's approach remains true to the way the Chinese themselves view art, providing readers with a sense of the sweep of history through China's dynasties. This organizational strategy makes it easy for readers to understand the distinct characteristics of each period of art and to gain a clearer view of how Chinese art has changed in relation to its historical context. With many improvements that bring it fully up to date, The Arts of China will remain the most comprehensive and widely read introduction to the history of Chinese art.
