The "Heavenly Citizens" series serves as a tool to help the Christian understand not only what the Bible teaches us, but also how to study the Bible. Explaining what the Bible teaches is like giving someone a fish to eat. Teaching him how to study the Bible is like teaching someone how to fish so he can feed himself. Both approaches are essential to developing spiritual maturity."2 Corinthians" is the thirteenth volume in the "Heavenly Citizens" series. The Apostle Paul begins with a greeting from God to the Church in Corinth. Then he slowly enters the fray, wanting to tone it done a bit so as to promote communication in that church. Paul's first letter to the Church of Corinth wasn't well received. His rebellious spiritual kids didn't take to his discipline, so they dug in the heels and sided with the heretics who invaded the church in Paul's absence. Papa Paul opened his heart to his spiritual children, hoping with all his heart to turn away from the heretics and back to the Lord Jesus as their King.What heresies were there in the Church of Corinth? Ah, that is the subject of our books on this second letter to the Corinthians. They included lots of strange noises in the church services, a rejection of the physical resurrection of Messiah Jesus and all believers soon to come, as well as several other issues.For a thorough understanding of these issues, we invite you to come inside and join the Bible class with us. We plan to delve into each and every heresy and get to the bottom of it. After all, we wouldn't want to go through the same mess in our church today, would we?The approach for "1 Corinthians", and for every volume in the "Heavenly Citizens" series, is to teach the student the meaning of Scripture. We also teach him or her how to study the Bible on his/her own. We do this in two ways: we provide a few rules by which to govern our Bible study, and we demonstrate by example how to study the Bible. Experience is an outstanding teacher. In our books we practice the rules for Bible study. By walking through the Bible with us, the reader experiences firsthand what our method of study is like.We believe the student will come out of our studies with both an understanding of the Bible and the ability to truthfully understand the Bible on his/her own. The path lies before you. Walk through the gate and join the journey with us! And may the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ be yours in abundance.

Deep in an Egyptian desert known as The Great Sand Sea lies an ancient treasure trove of Hittite gold... Legends say the gold belongs to the famed goddess, Sekhmet. But a map belonging to Nick Caine says otherwise...at least to Nick. He has returned to Egypt to claim the treasure, along with Ishi, Marie Da Vinci, and an old friend of her father's, Akiiki Mubarek. Twelve long and painful years have passed since the last time Nick ventured into the unforgiving landscape - a trip that cost a college buddy who once owned the map his life soon after they began digging in the desert. Forced to witness his friend's execution, he vowed never to come back...until now. The four treasure-hopefuls journey to the deadly wasteland just north of Sudan, and fortune seems to smile when they uncover one of Egypt's last buried pyramids...a pyramid that looks remarkably like its Mayan counterparts. But a band of violent marauders from Sudan descend on the site, threatening to not only claim the gold for themselves, but to spill innocent blood in the process. A chance for redemption quickly turns into a desperate fight to survive. This time, even Nick might not escape the devil in The Great Sand Sea...

The truth of Christ crucified is a supremely important and essential truth because it is a heavenly truth condescending unto fallen man from the throne of God. Not only is the truth of Christ crucified a supremely important and essential truth because of its heavenly revelation, but is also preeminent because of its divine work of redemption. The person of Jesus Christ should never be divorced from the work of Jesus Christ. What He has done flows from who He is; and who Christ is necessitates what He does. Jesus is not merely the Christ, but He is the Christ who was crucified. Sadly, too many churches, too many preachers of the gospel, and too many professing Christians are losing this central and essential truth. American churches are standing for something other than, or something more (?!) than Christ, and Him crucified. My brethren, this ought not so to be. Let us renew the first works, repent, and return unto that First Love that we have left, Jesus Christ, the crucified, risen, and ascended Savior who is coming again.

Elvis PresleyElvis Presley was much more than a cultural icon; he was a reliable barometer of the world he grew up in. Long before the cultural revolutions of the '60s and '70s, Elvis was sparking a dynastic change of hands in American society. And by his own admission, much of it was by accident. Whenever his performances caused a stir, Elvis was always the first to ask what all the fuss was about. When questioned if he was trying to provoke a response from his audience, Elvis innocently replied that he was just doing what came naturally. Inside you will read about...- Elvis and His Twin- That's All Right- Presley's Controversial Rise- Elvis Joins the Army- Comeback in Las Vegas- Last Years and DeathAnd much more! According to Elvis, as much as James Dean was a "rebel without a cause," he was a rebel completely by accident. If we believe him, everything he did that led to his rise to stardom was just some sort of cosmic alignment of happenstance. Elvis claimed that when he went into Sun Records to record his first song, he wasn't looking to become famous; he maintained that he just wanted to record a song for his mom's birthday. This book will let you decide for yourself as you learn about the life, the legend, and the unmistakable icon-Elvis Presley.

The War Wolf recounts the opening battle of 1066 as King Hardrada of Norway out manoeuvres King Harold of England by landing the largest Viking army ever to set foot in the north of the kingdom. His objective is to capture York, the capital of Northumbria, and in this he is aided by Tostig Godwinson, the traitorous brother of the King of England.Unaware of the coming danger Coenred the Huscarl, an elite warrior of the Saxon army, considers retiring to his estate. His relationship with his young lords, Edwin and Morcar, has become strained and although in the prime of life he tires of following the way of the sword. In York he meets the beautiful young widow Mildryth who comes to him seeking protection, she has a presentiment that the shadow of her husband's murderer Tostig Godwinson will fall upon her again.As Coenred looks to choose the life of a theign on his farm in Holderness news comes of a massive Viking fleet sailing up the River Humber, bound for York. Honour will not allow Coenred to abandon his fellow huscarls, his lords, or the people of York to the threat of conquest by their ancient enemy. King Harold remains in the south, unaware of the danger and with one eye on the movement of the Normans who wait for a clear day to sail their own invasion force to England. It falls to Coenred as servant to Eorl Edwin and his brother Eorl Morcar, to meet the War Wolf in combat.For embittered Tostig Godwinson a quest for revenge on those who toppled him from his once high station as the Eorl of Northumbria has brought him into an unholy alliance with the King of Norway. He seeks the blood of both Eorl Edwin and Eorl Morcar who inflicted an ignominious defeat upon him a few months before. Even more so he plans the destruction of his elder brother who recommended his banishment to old King Edward. Where once there was brotherly love there is now only hate of the most vindictive kind.England is in a precarious state but so is Norway. A long and fruitless war against Denmark has left King Hardrada with an empty treasury and stained reputation. The greatest Viking of his day Hardrada sails to England to capture a crown that sits uneasily upon the head of Harold Godwinson, but he has had to make alliances to rebuild his army, alliances with the Jarls of Orkney, and even with the old enemy, the Saxons themselves.Amidst the confusion stalk the likes of Wulfhere, thief and murderer with one eye always open for an opportunity to enrich himself at the cost of another. He has spied out Mildryth and believes her to be due a small fortune in compensation for the death of her husband at the hands of the king's brother. When the men are away at battle women such as her are vulnerable to men such as he.When King Harold hears the news of the Viking invasion in the north he chooses not to move from London but rather trust to his cousins Edwin and Morcar to close the gates of York and hold the city against the King of Norway. The young eorls, however, continue their father's jealousy of the House of Wessex and seek glory to match the Godwinsons. They do not believe that they can achieve that by hiding behind the Roman walls of York, instead they plan to meet the Vikings at Fulford Gate and win a matchless victory over them.Despite his high standing Coenred cannot change the course of the young eorls and so he must stand in the shield-wall with his brother warriors at the Battle of Fulford Gate and fight for his life and the lives of all those depending upon him, against a man who has never lost a battle; against the War Wolf himself!

"I just finished "Gold Bloody Gold" and I am very impressed.Drawing the reader through a decades-long personal journey, Snell has opened up his fascinating family past in the hopes of personal catharsis and the long overdue service of justice.From the snows of Alaska to the streets of Vancouver, the rivers of B.C. to the sands of Mali to the rains of London, Snell takes the reader through the pivotal events of his and his father's lives. These include so much more than the average geological mapping trip! Near-death wilderness adventures, plane crashes, assassination attempts, and explosions keep the pace moving, and the stories are peppered throughout with animated characters, including the many unscrupulous people who flood the ranks of the mining industry. The fall-out from this unmitigated greed and lack of recognition exacerbated the mental illness in his father, and led to the dissolution of Snell's family. The stunning injustice perpetrated on Snell's father (and highlighted by his tragic suicide) ultimately formed the nucleus around which Snell, infused with renewed purpose, crafted his amazing narrative.A personal and poignant memoir full of vivid descriptions of family and foe, and battles with both corruption with mental health, "Gold Bloody Gold" is an incredulous yet true story of the real discovery of the richest gold mine in the world. It is the story of how the men surrounding its discovery manipulated and conned their way to riches, all at the expense of the true genius who found it. Finally, it is the story of the author's struggle with coming to terms with his own mental health and his father's complicated legacy. Inspiring, exciting, and revealing - it is a must read for any adventure enthusiast, explorer, traveler, and geologist. I even want to try hang gliding after reading Snell's life-like descriptions of rising thousands of feet skyward..."up, up the long delirious burning blue."Jonathon Perrin

Fakir Mohan Senapati (1843-1918) is remembered largely for his emancipation of early Odia fictional narratives both collection of short stories and novels, as well as autobiography, poetry, essay, text books, dictionary, spiritual and journalistic writing and translations into Odia which enriched early modern Odia literary canon. Perhaps, Senapati's identity may be aptly remembered more than the literary the socio-political and socio-economic changes which challenges and urgency he lived upon and accepted and refabricated around the historical time line in British Odisha when many changes were in threshold. Senapati remains the early chronicler of the 'SOCIAL REALISM' narrative tradition in Indian Literature and his fictional narratives which is a sum total of four novels and twenty short stories are set within the local Odia traditions focuses upon the hundred and more years of the tumultuous history of Odisha, emerging of colonial modernity in early 19th century and its effects during British rule. Senapati is also conscious of foreign and native encounter which simultaneously built up Odia collective identity in the past. He examines and mentions of the chronology of shifting of the power structure such as the Afghan, Mughal, and Maratha invasions long before the arrival of British East India Company (1803) in Odisha. Fakir Mohan Senapati remains a critic of the 'HYBRID' modernities - the collision of Odia modernities and British modernities during the colonial rule which influenced each other for near about hundred and fifty years and addresses important political factor responsible for demanding first a language province and then, sovereign intellectual sub-national identity. Senapati's fictional narrative may be compared with the rare classics in world literature; for Senapati's collective voice forms new waves across national and subnational boundaries in British India which is anticolonial and brings forth local resistances towards the emerging of European orders during British rule chiefly on the basis of the demands of the emerging collective Odia identity of his time.----------------------------------------------------Collision of Modernities in British Odisha, Vol. I, 2017, General Editor: Sarat Kumar Jena.This book contains brief modernities debate by Satya P Mohanty. Special critical section on fictional narratives of Fakir Mohan Senapati is contributed by Jitendra N Patnaik, Shubhendu Mund, and Sarat Kumar Jena.
