To help you organize and keep track of the new words that are introduced in our four Learn to Read in Japanese books, we have assembled this companion glossary.The glossary lists more than 9,700 Japanese terms that are used in the four books, and it provides definitions and memory aides for nearly every term. The memory aides are of two types: explanations which describe how the listed terms are derived from other known Japanese words, or when such explanations aren't possible, mnemonics to help you to remember the terms' definitions and pronunciations. The glossary also identifies more than 10,000 synonyms (or at least "related terms") which make it possible for you to compare similar words side by side.Of course, this glossary cannot replace a good Japanese dictionary, nor is it intended to do so. However, it includes thousands of explanations, mnemonics and synonyms that you won't find in a standard dictionary, and it focuses precisely on the terms that you will encounter in the four Learn to Read in Japanese books. We think that it will help to make your Japanese study easier and more interesting.

Jesus depended on the Holy Spirit. Jesus was born by the Spirit, filled by the Spirit, led by the Spirit, empowered by the Spirit, and offered Himself as a sacrifice on the cross by the eternal Spirit. Then at His ascension, He prayed to the Father that His followers would have the same power available to them. However, as modern believers, we have worked very hard to minimize our dependence on the Holy Spirit. In Spirit-Filled Jesus, Vladimir Savchuk presents the life of Jesus as an example for us to follow into living an abundant life full of the Holy Spirit and His power. We are called to pick up our cross and follow Him, but we can't do that unless we rely on the Holy Spirit the same way He did. Find out more in Spirit-Filled Jesus!

This book is about the effect of extreme narcissism on society, to include how it relates to political tyranny or human abuse by any name. In other words, autocracy (dictatorship) could come about through denial and ignorance. Watch out for politicians who cozy up to, and express admiration for, strong-man, dictator types! (Para) Many people are self-righteously opinionated haters of anyone basically unlike them or who disagrees with them politically or supposedly on religion. Some politicians often use them as brazen or unwitting tools or fools. Some even defy God in their narcissism, and claim belief in God, while refusing to abide in God's Moral Essence and live a moral life. (Para) There was a real chance, and still is, that immoral, deceitful gangster types could be elected by distrustful, misguided, or even brain-washed people. Many such voters actually had (and have) possibly legitimate worries about BIG* government, without realizing such mistrust is the propagandized mantra of BIG business, which wants to be unregulated in its anti-social, immoral "Greed." *{If there were no BIG Federal government, such worries inevitably would carry over to the political agendas of State governments} (Para) Due to misinformation, many voters were, and are, bound to change things at the risk of electing extremely flawed human beings. All citizens must live with the consequences of having politicians full of personal greed or animosity, or belabored self-consciousness and paranoid feelings of inferiority, enhanced by megalomania - all dependent fully on feelings that come from without the moral minds of individual voters. The ultimate, final outcome of such self-centered politicians, and those elect them, depends on what God has in store for this world, which very much depends on us as a society and as individuals. (Para) Having said all that, this book contains a spiritual, science-fictional UFO story genuflecting on the moral purpose the author believes our Creator intends for humankind. (Para) The "scribe" author of this work understands that "who" anyone "is" is defined by God, and only has meaning as it regards that person's relationship with God. That non-vanity concept is the very underpinning of the book. In fact, this author says he is not here, or anywhere, to promote himself, but rather to call attention to his belief in, or attitude about, God, spirituality and morality. To quote him, "I am not here to judge you. I am here to judge me, so that I might be better prepared for God's judgment someday."
