"Prayers to Move Your Mountains" is a new intercessory prayer
handbook for Charismatic and Pentecostal Christians. Like classic
books of prayer that have helped believers in their prayer lives
over the years, this book emphasizes not only prayers for self, but
others, too. Each prayer is woven together with scripture verses
and with notes referring to specific biblical texts. Types of
prayers include prayers that worship and glorify the Lord, praying
to enter God's presence, praying for revival, praying for others,
praying for forgiveness and power over sin, praying for personal
needs, and praying for the coming of the Kingdom of God.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Alfred Edersheim (1825-1889) was a Jewish convert to Christianity
and a Biblical scholar, best known for his 1883 The Life and Times
of Jesus the Messiah. Edersheim believed that some knowledge of the
intellectual and religious perspectives of people during Jesus'
lifetime was necessary to fully understand His works. Volume II
begins after the baptism of Jesus through his ministry,
crucifixion, and resurrection.
The Talmudic exegesis is constructed on special hermeneutic rules
which have the logical meaning in fact. On the basis of this
circumstance it is possible to speak about a special logical
culture of the Talmud and to call the logic used there.
"One day a group of young people will escape the Sorcerers of
Teletsia and travel to a land in the far north to gain subtle inner
power which will enable them to free their fellow country people
from the evil that has held them in a stranglehold for so
long."Based on the timeless tales of India, this colourful and
evocative fantasy novel weaves a narrative that will entertain and
delight the reader whilst simultaneously touching on the essentials
of daily life; of the struggles each of us faces; and of the
journey to inner enlightenment. A fantasy indeed, yet firmly
encapsulated in reality.

In Jews, Judaism, and Success, Robert Eisen attempts to solve a
long-standing mystery that has fascinated many: How did Jews become
such a remarkably successful minority in the modern western world?
Eisen argues that Jews achieved such success because they were
unusually well-prepared for it by their religion - in particular,
Rabbinic Judaism, or the Judaism of the rabbis. Rooted in the
Talmud, this form of Judaism instilled in Jews key values that
paved the way for success in modern western society: autonomy,
freedom of thought, worldliness, and education. The book carefully
analyses the evolution of these four values over the past two
thousand years in order to demonstrate that they had a longer and
richer history in Jewish culture than in western culture. The book
thus disputes the common assumption that Rabbinic Judaism was
always an obstacle to Jews becoming modern. It demonstrates that
while modern Jews rejected aspects of Rabbinic Judaism, they also
retained some of its values, and these values in particular led to
Jewish success. Written for a broad range of readers, Jews,
Judaism, and Success provides unique insights on the meaning of
success and how it is achieved in the modern world.
