4. díl démonského cykluKrasijský Trůn lebek zůstává prázdný.Trůn sestavený z lebek padlých vojevůdců a démonských princů je sídlem cti a prastaré mocné magie, která drží démony v šachu. Z tohoto trůnu chtěl Ahmann Jardir dobýt celý svět a vybudovat jednotnou armádu, která by vytáhla do boje a skoncovala s démonskou válkou jednou provždy.Jenže Arlen Sedlák, Tetovaný, se proti tomuto plánu vzepřel. Vyzval Jardira na souboj a ten na něj musel přistoupit, aby si zachoval čest. A než aby riskoval porážku, oba je raději svrhl ze srázu, čímž obral svět o spasitele a zároveň spustil boj o následnictví, který může Svobodná města Thesy rozdělit.Na jihu musí Jardirova první manželka Inevera najít způsob, jak zabránit synům, hnaným snahou uplatnit nárok na trůn, aby se navzájem zabili a zavlekli tak svůj lid do občanské války.Na severu se Leesha Papírova a Rojer Půlručka pracně snaží sjednat mezi Angierským a Milnským vévodstvím spojenectví proti Krasijcům dřív, než bude pozdě. V této křížové palbě uvázne Laktonské vévodství – bohaté, nechráněné, zralé na dobytí.A jadrnci mezitím stále nabírají na síle. Bez Arlena a Jardira se asi nenajde nikdo tak silný, kdo by je zastavil. O osudu obou pohřešovaných mužů možná něco ví jen Renna Sedlákova. Jenže i ta zmizela…

Po delší odmlce napsal Raven Argoni svou další knihu, tentokrát silně autobiograficky zaměřenou. Popisuje v ní své životní zážitky a setkávání s různými lidmi. Právě na základě těchto zážitků ukazuje co znamená, když má nějaká osoba psychopatiké sklony. Čtenář se alespoň rámcově dozví z této knihy jak tuto poruchu osobnosti tozpoznat, jak reagovat. Mnozí lidé o této své nemoci totiž ani nevědí.

Toto je úplne prvá rozprávková kniha určená prioritne pre dospelých. Je vhodná aj ako inšpiratívne čítanie rodičov deťom. Obsahuje 7 pútavých príbehov inšpirovaných životom, prerozprávaných do rozprávky. V týchto rozprávkach čitateľ nájde paralely napríklad aj so svojím životom alebo životom blízkych ľudí. Písané sú štýlom, ktorý čitateľa možno zastaví, aby porozmýšľal nad sebou, svojím správaním a zároveň motivuje k pozitívnym zmenám. Z odborného hľadiska sú v príbehoch zachované pozitívne transformačné princípy NLP a je to úplne prvá rozprávková kniha na Slovensku písaná týmto spôsobom. Za každým príbehom je voľný priestor pre sebauvedomenie - vlastné zápisky. Napriek tomu, že je kniha rozprávková, radí sa do kategórie osobného rozvoja.Použité ilustrácie sú fotografie autorských bábok, ktoré autorka vyrobila špeciálne pre túto knihu a sú len po jednom kuse na celom svete. Tématicky sú bábky ladené ako piloti a názov knihy REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT je použitý zámerne ako metafora. Toto heslo sa používa v leteckej terminológii a bývajú ním označené červené dlhé štítky, ktoré sú pripevnené na rôznych častiach lietadla. Tieto časti - kryty, poistky - chránia lietadlo, keď stojí na dráhe. Pred odletom ich treba naopak sňať - zložiť preč, lebo by bránili bezpečnému letu.Podobne je to aj so životom. Keď chceme slobodne a bezpečne lietať, potrebujeme odložiť rôzne zábrany (strachy, krivdy, presvedčenia, ...), ktoré by nás inak obmedzovali.

Jak srozumitelně přiblížit historii české a slovenské fotografie i její současné podoby? Průvodce neklidným územím III navazuje na úspěšné předchozí díly, věnované modernímu českému výtvarnému umění a architektuře. Tentokrát se tvůrci zaměřují na oblast fotografie, na osudy jejich autorů a příběhy, které je doprovázejí.

Jádro knihy tvoří výběr více jak šesti desítek nejvýznamnějších autorů, představuje jejich dílo a životy. František Drtikol, Jaromír Funke, Josef Sudek, Jan Lukas, Dagmar Hochová, Josef Koudelka, Jan Saudek, Jindřich Štreit, Libuše Jarcovjáková, Karel Cudlín, Antonín Kratochvíl, Tono Stano, Ivan Pinkava, Miroslav Tichý a další. Text je doplněn o komiksově zpracované příběhy zachycující zásadní okamžiky vývoje naší fotografie.

Bojan Angelov, riaditeľ vydavateľstva Bulharský spisovateľ, predseda Zväzu bulharských spisovateľov a mimoriadny člen Spolku slovenských spisovateľov, okrem vyše dvadsiatky básnických zbierok je autorom aj niekoľkých vedeckých monografií, publicistických a literárnokritických kníh. Charakterizujú ho uvažovanie, kontemplácia, stlmenie citov. Tieto črty sú badateľné v jeho neskoršej tvorbe. Vo svojej poézii nie je obdivovateľom ani silných tónov, ani jasných farieb. Ako tvorca uprednostňuje mäkké pastelové farby: akvarely, namaľované s vycibrenosťou a ľahkosťou. Jemu je cudzí pátos bijúci do očí, suchopárnosť. Ide o vedome zvolenú pozíciu, ktorá zodpovedá adekvátnejšie estetike a poetike súčasného umenia - svetového aj bulharského. Jeho lyrika je ovplyvnená množstvom kultúrnych asociácií v oblasti mytológie, histórie, geografie, vojenských záležitostí - to znamená takmer vo všetkých oblastiach života. Jeho snaha o originálnosť sa prejavuje na všetkých úrovniach: zmyslovo obrazne a rytmicko-intonačne.

Kniha se věnuje diplomatickým stykům Československa a Svatého stolce ve 20. století.Jde o mimořádně dramatickou dobu, která ve vztazích Československa a Vatikánu v mnoha ohledech odráží dějiny habsburské monarchie, dvou světových konfliktů, dvou totalitních ideologií 20. století – nacismu a komunismu – a meziválečné i poválečné doby. Již na první pohled je čtenáři zřejmé, že se jednalo o období mnoha těžkostí, nepochopení a řevnivostí, a to jak na české, resp. československé, tak na vatikánské straně.Toto vzájemné stýkání i potýkání utvářelo úroveň vzájemných vztahů a zrcadlilo se v působení místní katolické církve. Československo-vatikánské vztahy vnímáme jako mnohovrstevný příběh, jako neopakovatelný fenomén 20. století, který jen těžko umožňuje komparaci jednotlivých diplomatických misí či širší zobecnění. Každý aktér spoluvytvářel specifickou podobu československo-vatikánských vztahů v jiné době, v rozdílné politické situaci, v době odlišného pontifikátu a osobnosti státního sekretáře, s nestejnými politicko-diplomatickými zkušenostmi, v kontaktu s jinými politicko-církevními představiteli v Československu a ve Vatikánu. Kniha nejen předkládá množství zajímavých historických faktů, ale také živě vykresluje dynamiku diplomatických vztahů.

Pokračovanie románu Na útekuOdpustiť niekomu, kto vám ublížil je nesmierne zložité, no ešte oveľa ťažšie je odpustiť sebe, ak ste ublížili iným. Dokáže to Júlia? A bude to koniec jedného príbehu, alebo sa začne hneď písať nový, ďalší? Júlia už nevládze utekať sama pred sebou, chce raz a navždy vyriešiť svoju zradu Adama. Rozhodne sa s ním opäť stretnúť, no namiesto vyriešenia sa všetko ešte viac zamotá. Opäť prepukne láska a vášeň, tentokrát snáď s ešte väčšou intenzitou ako minule. Obaja si však bolestne uvedomujú, že sú lovci a v tomto vzťahu by jeden musel byť korisťou. Adam už raz kvôli Júlii stratil hlavu a nakoniec mu ostali len oči pre plač. Bude schopný úprimných citov aj po druhý raz? Alebo iba potrebuje vybiť svoju zlosť?

Proč Izrael nezůstal u kmenového uspořádání? Muselo skutečně vzniknout království? První izraelský král Saul je rozporuplnou postavou. Znamená snad Boží vyvolení za krále nezrušitelnou kvalitu člověka, nebo ji může takový člověk zničit svým pošetilým jednáním? Zapadající hvězdu tragické postavy na královském trůnu (Saula) střídá vycházející hvězda mnohostranně nadaného mladého muže (Davida). Vypravěč využívá komplikované spleti vztahů v Saulově rodině a politické dění chápe vždy jako události, které jsou těsně svázány s výraznými kněžskými postavami. Celkově vyznívá První Samuelova jako kritika monarchického uspořádání společnosti. Saul jako král neuspěl, nepodařilo se mu vybudovat království jako instituci, která by zajišťovala budoucnost. Ve chvíli jeho smrti je Izrael pořád ještě kmenovým svazem.

Start-ups rarely survive their second birthday. Even established firms in the UK and the US average a life of only fifteen years. So how can your company build and sustain success for decades to come?Professor Alex Hill has conducted thirteen years of groundbreaking research into a clutch of organisations that have outperformed their peers for over 100 years - from NASA to the New Zealand All Blacks, from Eton College and the Royal College of Art to the Royal Marines and the Royal Shakespeare Company.And what he has found is that these very different organisations all share remarkably similar strategies when it comes to building and maintaining excellence and success - strategies that frequently fly in the face of conventional business wisdom.Here Professor Hill shares the twelve traits that have set these organisations apart for over a century, from the way they analyse success and failure to their approach to finding the best people and the brightest new ideas. In so doing, he identifies the strategies and habits that you can employ in your company to create a strong and stable core and to ensure the same long-term prosperity. In short, he shows you how to build a promising enterprise into an enduring, great organisation._____________________________________________'An instant classic.'

Česká gramatika v kostce je čtyřstránková příručka o něco většího formátu než A4, tištěná na oboustranně laminované křídě. Její inovovaná, rozšířená verze z roku 2010 je určena začátečníkům a středně pokročilým studentům češtiny jako cizího jazyka, k občasnému nahlédnutí ji však využijí i pokročilí mluvčí. Představuje jednoduchý přehled základních gramatických a lexikálních jevů, důležitých pro úspěšnou každodenní komunikaci, který je vždy po ruce. Nekopíruje mechanicky tradiční gramatická pravidla, ale přizpůsobuje výklad vnímání a potřebám cizojazyčných mluvčích (využívá např. barevné kódování pro značení gramatického rodu, zjednodušené schéma ilustrující vyjadřování směru a lokace apod.).

Akcí nabitá druhá kniha Mezitah: Chyba Lávky přináší napínavé dobrodružství z prostředí, kde se nejdřív střílí a pak teprve kladou otázky. Poté, co lidská společnost našla způsob, jak cestovat mezi hvězdami, se vše změnilo. S nálezy prakticky neomezených přírodních zdrojů, bezpočtu úžasných, životem oplývajících planet a dokonce i několika inteligentních živočišných druhů se lidé rozutekli po všech koutech vesmíru. Současná vesmírná civilizace je bohatá a mocná, ale zcela decentralizovaná. A historie jde dál. Informace cestují rychleji a ve větším objemu, lidé se stěhují za prací a tržní ekonomika vzala nadprodukci na zcela novou úroveň. Ve společnosti neomezované možnostmi jediné planety už to ani nikoho nevzrušuje.

Každý rukopis, který se dostane do nakladatelství přináší nové myšlenky. Největším dobrodružstvím jsou autorské prvotiny. Roman Pytelka je mladý člověk a přichází se sbírkou básní "Právě teď". Snaží se poctivě o čistou poezii. Je přímočarý, nahlíží na denní život kolem sebe očima svého věku v době, kdy je málo času na poezii. Umí se zastavit ve chvílích, kdy všichni někam spěchají a zachytit krásu života. Sbírka Romana Pytelky má plné právo ucházet se o přízeň čtenářů poezie. Autor se jistě nezastaví na pomyslném prahu. "Právě teď" půjde určitě dál.

Julie Naismith vám nabízí život, který neovládá separační úzkost vašeho čtyřnohého společníka – život bez stresovaného psa, naštvaných sousedů a pocitů viny. Majitelé psů se separační úzkostí se často nacházejí ve svízelné situaci: nejen že mají psa, kterého nemohou nechat samotného, ale navíc se potýkají s kritikou ze strany svého okolí a také s nedostatkem informací, které potřebují k tomu, aby svému psovi pomohli překonat problém, o němž mnohdy ani nevědí, že je řešitelný. Pokud máte pocit, že je to i váš případ, pak Julie Naismith napsala knihu právě pro vás. Ač je sama certifikovanou trenérkou psů, napsala tuto knihu jako majitelka psa se separační úzkostí pro jiné majitele psů se stejným problémem. Na základě vlastních zkušeností si totiž uvědomuje, že k překonání separační úzkosti zdaleka nestačí jen tréninkový plán. Ten v její knize samozřejmě najdete, ale vedle něj se dozvíte i to, které často dávané rady nikam nevedou, jak se vypořádat s pocitem viny a jak komunikovat problém vašeho psa s vaším okolím. V knize Nechoď pryč! najdete: Srozumitelný systém, jak z vyklepaného nerváka vychovat spokojeného a sebejistého psa Konkrétní příběhy z praxe Přehled častých mýtů, které mohou stav vašeho psa jenom zhoršit Tipy na to, jak váš problém řešit s vaším okolím

Láska, boj, vášeň, čary... Jedno prepletené s druhým na pozadí historických reálií. Uhorsko, rok 1467. Kráľ Matej konečne zúčtuje s bratríkmi, mnoho rokov sužujúcimi krajinu. Mladý považský zeman Gašpar Suňog sa do likvidácie poslednej bratríckej pevnosti vo Veľkých Kostoľanoch zapletie viac, než plánoval, a dostáva sa i so svojím druhom Jánom Podmanickým do pozornosti panovníka. Mladíci priťahujú ako magnet dobrodružstvá, v ktorých ide o život. Pátrajú po nezvestnom Jánovom strýkovi Blažejovi, ktorý zradil bratríckeho kapitána Švehlu, po desiatkach záhadne unesených dievčat, bojujú so zbojníkmi, ktorí sužujú žilinských mešťanov a čelia pomste. Ich cesta je plná dobrodružstva, odvahy, priateľstva a lásky, ale i zrady a nenávisti. Dostanú sa napokon pod ochranné krídla kráľa, ktorý má v rodovom erbe havrana, alebo ich púť predčasne ukončí ruka nepriateľa?

Prečo nás baví smutný film, počúvame smutnú hudbu a čítame srdcervúce príbehy? Ak vás upokojuje daždivý deň, čerpáte inšpiráciu zo samoty a intenzívne reagujete na krásu v umení či v prírode, nie ste sami. Sladkobôľny pocit mali v sebe filozofovia, básnici, vedci, skladatelia či maliari a asi ho máte aj vy. Susan Cain sa touto knihou snaží ukončiť tyraniu pozitivity, a tvrdí, že je v poriadku a prospešné zažívať smutné emócie. Bez smútku tlmíme plnosť našej radosti, melancholický a nostalgický pohľad na život pomáha našej kreativite a spája nás s inými ľuďmi. Uvedomili si to aj v Pixare, a tak Smútok obsadili do hlavnej úlohy v úspešnom animovanom filme V hlave. Autorka v knihe prináša prekvapivé lekcie z prežívania smutných emócií, ktoré nás učia o kreativite, súcite, spiritualite a smrteľnosti.

A breakneck adventure story following the erotic love affair of party cadres Aijun and Hongmei during China's Cultural Revolution On his return to his village in the Balou Mountains, soldier Gao Aijun sees a young woman wandering barefoot along the railway tracks in the warm late-afternoon sun. Her name is Hongmei. Aijun is instantly intoxicated, his wife - waiting patiently for him at home - quickly forgotten. Both Aijun and Hongmei hurl themselves into their town's revolutionary struggle. Spending their days and nights stamping out feudalism, writing pamphlets and organising rallies, they become inseparable: they are the engines of history. The couple dig a 'tunnel of love' - to further the revolution, of course, but also to connect their homes and provide a chamber for their secret rendezvous.

But when Hongmei's husband finds them together one evening, their dreams of a life together begin to fall apart. Hard Like Water is a novel of immense emotional force from one of China's greatest contemporary writers, a universal human drama about the nature of power and the dangers of hubris, as well as the freewheeling momentum of love and sexual desire.

Cestovný lexikón Slovenskej republiky sústreďuje dôkazy o jedinečnom prírodnom, historickom a kultúrnom dedičstve národa a národnosti, ktoré odnepamäti obývajú túto časť Európy. Cestovný lexikón Slovenskej republiky vzniká v spolupráci s viacerými inštitúciami. Dokumentuje, že SLovenská republika sa vie svojou marketingovou stratégiou začleniť medzi turisticky vyspelé krajiny, ktorým záleží na propagácii svojich možností v prospech turizmu ako hospodárskeho odvetvia, prispievajúceho k rozvoju ekonomiky krajiny. Naším želaním je, aby sa aj toto vydanie stalo návodom na šťastné a nezabudnuteľné chvíle pre všetkých, ktorým naše Slovensko - neveľký kúsok zeme medzi Tatrou a Dunajom - učarovalo.

Mrakodrapy se zrodily před více než sto lety - od té doby se rozšířily po celém světě a dnes patří k nejtypičtějším budovám modernismu. V době svého vzniku představovaly naprosto nové pojetí, jehož základem bylo nakupit na sebe mnoho pater a při konstrukci využívat masově vyráběných panelů, které byly pro nový průmyslový věk typické. Ve skutečnosti však spojovaly archetypy paláce, věže a zvonice (ale také hory, kaňonu, rokle a stalaktitu), které někdy až výstředním způsobem kombinovaly s futuristickými prvky jako ze sci-fi filmů. V tomto ohledu jsou mrakodrapy vlastně současníky kinematografie - sedmého umění a desáté Múzy - a multimedií, jež v současné době představují její další vývojový stupeň. Není proto překvapením, že mrakodrapy, které tvoří přirozenou součást dnešní společnosti zábavy, komunikací a masové avantgardy, hrály již od svých prvopočátků důležitou roli i v oblasti kinematografie a multimédií. A jako kinematografie oslavila své sté výročí celou řadou nových zpracování starších filmů nebo jejich pokračováními, i nové supermrakodrapy, jež se v roli dominant spolupodílejí na vytváření panoramat dnešních měst a které bychom mohli označit za "nové obry", na sebe berou novou podobu. Dnes již nejsou výjimkou superstavby ve tvaru kuželů nebo plachet a přitom je nikdo nepovažuje za kýč. Jsou výstředními sny světových architektonických hvězd, jež nejsou svázány konvencemi běžných stavebních postupů, které přední stavitelské firmy proměňují pomocí moderních technologií ve skutečnost.

Po krvavé bitvě u Telmaranu převládají obavy, že její výsledek zpečetil osud Ulldartu - staré proroctví spojující Lodrikův osud s návratem zapuzeného Temného boha Tzulana se stává skutečností. Panovník je stejně jako předtím vystaven vlivu démonických sil, jeho bývalí spojenci a přátelé se ocitli buď ve vyhnanství, nebo ve vězení. Nebo je snad někde ještě možnost záchrany? Překvapivě se objevuje chlapec, jenž nepoznán vyrůstá na vzdáleném kontinentu Kalisstron. Je to Lodrikův syn Lorin, jemuž je předurčeno postavit se mocnostem temnoty. Odváží se čelit v boji svému nesmírně mocnému otci? Nebude už pozdě?

The Wall is a modern parable about what happens when we surround ourselves with protective walls of our own making - we shut ourselves in and deprive ourselves of light and love and fellowship. We can build walls so high we can't get out - at least not without help.

Read it, lend it to a friend, give it as a gift The Wall is sure to make you think...and to lift your heart.p

Obafemi Origunwa, founder of the Orisa Lifestyle Academy and creator of the Orisa Lifestyle Agreements, articulates an in-depth, yet simple blueprint of the world's fastest growing spiritual movement. In his insightful study, Origunwa surveys a full range of traditional and modern African thought expressed through religion, sacred poetry, philosophy, mythology, psychology and business. He demonstrates that Yoruba sacred culture is far from being doomed to destruction or irrelevance at the hands of Islamic and Christian incursion. Instead, Orisa Lifestyle is evolving into a world wide cultural empire that is capable of actually using foreign tools to propogate its basic values. The Fundamentals of Orisa Lifestyle presents an invaluable insight into the foundations of the unique and vital tapestry of Yoruba indigenous knowledge systems practiced by over seventy million Africans all over the world.

The influential sociologist and social theorist Zygmunt Bauman was a prolific commentator on contemporary social life. The extent and range of his published work is so vast that it is easy for the uninitiated reader to feel daunted by the sheer scale of works and where to begin. br That is, until now. iThe Emerald Guide to Zygmunt Baumani is the first introductory guide to the work of Zygmunt Bauman, designed specifically for students and those new to his work. It provides a clear, comprehensive and authoritative overview of the emergence and development of key themes and arguments across the whole body of Bauman's work, from his early publications in Poland in relation to actually existing socialism, to his Marxist revisionism, his influential analysis of the Holocaust, and his contribution to ethics and critiques of modernity and liquid modern neoliberalism. Critically, the book also places Bauman's work in context by discussing the influence of his personal biography on his ideas. br This book provides a firm foundation for the independent reading of Bauman himself and for exploring the many discussions and interpretations of his influential ideas. It is essential reading for readers in sociology, politics, history, law, religion and other areas of the social sciences to which Bauman made a contribution.

bA personal memoir in which Lyn Slater, known on Instagram as Accidental Icon,b bbrings her characteristic style, optimism, forward-thinking, and rules-are-meant-to-be-broken attitude to the question of how to live boldly at any age.br bbr When Lyn Slater started her fashion blog, iAccidental Icon, i at age sixty-one, she discovered that followers were flocking to her account for more than just her A-list style. As Lyn flaunted gray hair, wrinkles, and a megadose of self-acceptance, they found in her an alternative model of older life someone who defied the stereotypes, refused to become invisible, and showed that all women have the opportunity to be relevant and take major risks at any stage of their life. Youth is not the only time we can be experimental. p iHow to Be Oldi tells the ten-year story of Lyn's sixties, the sometimes-glamorous, sometimes-turbulent decade of Accidental Icon. This memoir is about the hopeful and future-oriented process of reinvention. It shows readers that while you can't control everything, what you can control is the way you think about your age and the creative ways you respond to the changes in your mind and body as they happen. Rather than trying to meet standards of youth and beauty as a measure of successful aging, Lyn promotes a more inclusive and empowering standard to judge our older selves by. p In this paradigm-shifting memoir, Lyn exemplifies that even with its unique challenges, being old is just like any new beginning in your life and can be the best and most invigorating of all of life's phases, full of rebellion and reinvention, connection and creativity.

The Burning of the Bibles is a book written by John Dowling and published in 1843. The book is a defense of the Protestant version of the scriptures against the attacks of Popish apologists for the Champlain Bible Burners. The Champlain Bible Burners were a group of Catholic priests and laypeople who burned copies of the Protestant Bible in 1837 in Canada. The book argues that the Protestant Bible is the true and authoritative version of the scriptures and that the actions of the Champlain Bible Burners were unjustified. Dowling provides historical and theological evidence to support his argument and also addresses common objections raised by Catholic apologists. The book is written in a clear and concise style and is intended for a general audience interested in religious controversies and debates. Overall, The Burning of the Bibles is an important work in the history of religious debates and provides valuable insights into the ongoing tensions between Protestant and Catholic communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Jews have a proud history as entrepreneurs and merchants. When Jewish immigrants began coming to America in greater and greater numbers during the late 19th century and early 20th century, many gravitated to the food industry, some as peddlers and fresh produce market stall hawkers, others as wholesalers, and still others as grocers. Most Jews who settled in Nebraska came from Russia and Poland, with smaller segments from Hungary, Germany, and other central and Eastern European nations. They were variously escaping pogroms, revolution, war, and poverty. The prospect of freedom and opportunity motivated Jews, just as it did other peoples, to flock here. At a time when Jews were restricted from entering certain fields, the food business was relatively wide open and affordable to enter. There was a time when for a few hundred dollars, one could put a down payment on a small store. That was still a considerable amount of money before 1960, but it was not out of reach of most working men who scrimped and put away a little every week. And that was a good thing too because obtaining capital to launch a store was difficult. Most banks would not lend credit to Jews and other minorities until after World War II. The most likely route that Jews took to becoming grocers was first working as a peddler, selling feed, selling produce by horse and wagon or truck, or apprenticing in someone else's store. Some came to the grocery business from other endeavors or industries. The goal was the same -- to save enough to buy or open a store of their own. By whatever means Jews found to enter the grocery business, enough did that during the height of this self-made era. From roughly the 1920s through the 1950s, there may have been a hundred or more Jewish-owned and operated grocery stores in the metro area at any given time. Jewish grocers almost always started out modestly, owning and operating small Mom and Pop neighborhood stores that catered to residents in the immediate area. By custo

Art Lindsley takes up the task in emTrue Truth.em While maintaining the indispensability of absolutes, he ably demonstrates that faith in Christ is necessarily opposed to and incompatible with the abuses of oppression, arrogance, intolerance, self-righteousness, closed-mindedness and defensiveness. Surprisingly, Lindsley shows that it is relativism which often harbors dangerous, inflexible absolutisms. Here is a book that actively challenges the dismissal of truth, preparing the way for more effectively proclaiming the gospel and living Christianly in a postmodern world.

This book draws from previously unpublished letters and interviews with physicists, theologians, and Sir John's close associates and family to present Sir John's ideas on pure unlimited love. Post, who was in dialogue with Sir John for fifteen years on this topic and who had founded the Institute for Research on Unlimited Love www.unlimitedloveinstitute.com, addresses how John Templeton arrived at his philosophy as a youth growing up in Tennessee. Post also shares how classical Presbyterian ideas came to synergize in his mind with the more Eastern influences of American transcendentalism and the Unity School of Christianity and ponders if Sir John truly believed that science and spirituality might fully converge on the same view of Ultimate Reality with their very different ways of knowing. iIs Ultimate Reality Unlimited Lovei presents Sir John's hope for spiritual progress with the eventual convergence of ultimate reality and unlimited love.

Our mind wars against evil and good. It even wars against right and wrong. Do you remember Eve when she was in the garden Satan came as a serpent and talked to her mind. She began to war between flesh and spirit, and God's words versus Satan's words. She lost the war because she listened to Satan's words to gratify her fleshly desires. She had a choice. We have a choice. We can choose to listen to God as he plants good seeds in our mind, or we can listen to Satan's negative seeds that will overtake our minds. Do not listen to the lies from Satan. You are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus. It is time to take a stand, and cast down every negative thought that is trying to hold you captive. This book will teach you how to cast down every negative thought that tries to exalt itself above God's word. This book is aligned with scriptures that will teach you how to win the war in your mind!
