    This book is the fulfillment of a dream I had back in the year 2009. I had a very vivid dream that I would one day write a book entitled: The Obedience Call.In these end days God is calling Christians all around the world to train themselves into obedience, because obedience is not just important, it is absolutely necessary. Christians must complete the state of their sanctification in order to be ready for the Rapture.This book is a collection of five sermons on obedience. In the first four chapters you will learn about how to be a solider for Christ, the importance of walking in humility, meekness and patience, how to position yourself for God's favor, and how you can become a vessel of prudence for God to dwell in. In the final chapter you will learn about how it is necessary for you to fulfill your destiny, how we must live worthily by walking in obedience, how we must fight the good fight of faith, the true meaning of God's grace, an explanation of Philippians 1:6, and how we must sow in the Spirit to reap eternal life.

She grew up in an environment of stress and constant awareness of what her father''s actions held for her. It was not until her late teens did she come to learn that living in fear was not normal. Jennifer''s memories were sad but were also elevated with her ability to see humor in some of her experiences.

    Politics could be described as a kind of bartering that enables us to overcome the discontinuities in our lives by resolving conflicts in a peaceful rather than unruly manner, and seeking a sphere in which there is some common or general accord. It is thus the art of compromise, conciliation, and negotiation rather than brute or naked force where it concerns meaningful and effective decision-making. It is also an attempt to establish some legitimate authority in response to the different needs that arise in society, and create a system of benefits and burdens that are binding on all. To this extent it is about the means and not the end, or at least the sufficiency of any means as opposed to the morality of any end. How to achieve what is good is thus to achieve what is useful, or at least the best strategy or plan that suits the circumstance at hand. In this case we do not say that if the end is right or wrong then the means are value-free, but that since the means are value-laden then the end is value-free. Given that wielding a blunt instrument to achieve a result is neither ethical nor unethical, the best we can hope for is a more ethical approach to the fashioning of any singular or conjugate set of means. So it is with our diplomats in their global dealings and our policy makers in the world of home affairs. There is another view however that suggests that the difference between the political and the non-political hinges on the distinction between a public and a private life, with the assumption that what is true of the one must also be true of the other. That is, that politics is an ethical activity that replaces right behaviour with just behaviour; that it is the pursuit of human betterment through ostensibly public means just as ethics is the pursuit of human betterment through ostensibly private means. In answer to the question where this line should be drawn the most common response is between civil society and that entity we call the state. State institutions such as the government, the judiciary and the armed forces could be regarded as public because they touch all aspects of communal life. On the other hand, institutions such as the family, business conglomerates, trade unions and divers clubs could be regarded as private because they support only limited aims and are voluntary to join as well as voluntary to quit.(Although of course, not voluntary to join in the case of the family).This may also generate a particular perception of public life as being good in one sense but bad in another. Participation in the activities of the state may be deemed worthwhile if this is seen to involve interaction amongst individuals who are both free and equal in their regard for one another. On the other hand, state participation may be seen in a negative light if this limits the range of our choices, especially if it interferes with family commitments and everyday leisure pursuits. But if politics is concerned principally with questions about the state a related question concerns its origin, whether it has evolved naturally or whether it is a purely human artifice borne of certain indispensable needs. This controversy has a long history dating back to the Greeks, and Aristotles is typical of the kind of approach that supports the former. Political associations are regarded as natural progressions starting with those that are simple and working towards those that are more complex. The pairing of a male and a female is essential for the sake of procreation, and that introduces the basic unit of the family. The pairing of a master and a slave is essential for the sake of rulership, and that introduces the primacy of mental agility over physical strength. What we mean by the head of any household is then extended to the head of any village, although in this case the lord or master acquires a certain status which demands the strict loyalty of his subjects. A convening of several villages is then th

    The island of New Guinea has a high diversity of species and a high level of endemism, containing more than 5 percent of earth's biodiversity in just over one half of a percent of the land on earth. New Guinea supports the largest area of mature tropical moist forest in the Asia/Pacific region. Papua New Guinea consists of the eastern part of the island of New Guinea, plus the islands of the Bismarck Archipelago, Buka, and Bougainville. There are between fifteen thousand and twenty thousand species of vascular plants in Papua New Guinea, with at least two thousand species of trees. The most important challenge for Papua New Guinea is the protection of biological diversity against the pressures resulting from global climate change, inappropriate destructive conversion of natural communities, unsustainable exploitation of forests, national economic development, and societal demands, including a fair sharing of the nation's wealth and law and order issues.There are very few resources available to natural resource managers, environmental scientists, nongovernment agencies, and various extractive industries, most importantly, the timber industry that will assist in the identification of major tree species within Papua New Guinea. It is hoped that the publication of these three volumes will enable those who are responsible for natural resource management to improve their knowledge of the trees in these forests so that they can fully appreciate the richness of these biologically diverse forests. The forests of Papua New Guinea need to be managed sensitively and sustainably based on advanced evidence-based knowledge.The Trees of Papua New Guinea publication provides a comprehensive treatment of 675 species of trees (vol. 1: 261 species, vol. 2: 249 species, vol. 3: 165 species) that will assist in the identification of the trees of Papua New Guinea.

    A forty-year-long correspondence with a pen pal provided a record of the remarkable life of Mercedes Marin-a Filipino woman who overcame a Cinderella-like childhood and adolescence to elope with her prince charming, raise a family, and touch the lives of in-laws, friends, and servants. Dear Annette Love Mercy is more than just an autobiography. It is a guide to how to live a good life by developing good qualities. One of these qualities, mercy, is the author's nickname. Each chapter chronicles her life from childhood, adolescence, education, career, marriage, the war years, and so on and exhibits other qualities such as generosity, helpfulness in teaching others to better themselves, and frankness and straightforwardness in dealing with people's hypocrisy. Her quick wit is also to be commended. Written by Mercy's daughter, Ginny, from her letters, this book is a loving testament to a parent that will inspire readers to improve their lives.
