Methodism is growing, both in numbers and influence, according to
the World Methodist Council there are 78 Methodist, Wesleyan, and
related Uniting and United churches representing over 80 million
people in more than 130 nations. There are clear reasons for its
success. Among them are commitment to evangelize and nurture people
with the message of God's presence, love, and direction. That
includes an appreciation for, and practice of, the holistic nature
of the Wesleyan tradition which involves faith nurtured in the
biblical narrative, disciplined personal and communal spirituality
and holy living, vibrant preaching, worship, and fellowship, and a
faith which rejoices in personal and social reform. This third
edition of Historical Dictionary of Methodism presents the history
of Methodism through a detailed chronology, an introductory essay,
an extensive bibliography, and over 500 cross-referenced dictionary
entries on important institutions and events, doctrines and
activities, and especially persons who have contributed to the
church and also broader society in the three centuries since it was
founded. This book is an ideal access point for students,
researchers, or anyone interested in the history of the Methodist
Church.

WHEN BLOGGER JENNIFER REESE LOST HER JOB, SHE BEGAN A SERIES OF
FOOD-RELATED EXPERIMENTS. Economizing by making her own peanut
butter, pita bread, and yogurt, she found that "doing it yourself"
doesn't always cost less or taste better. In fact, she found that
the joys of making some foods from scratch-- marshmallows, hot dog
buns, and hummus--can be augmented by buying certain ready-made
foods--butter, ketchup, and hamburger buns. Tired? Buy your
mayonnaise. Inspired? Make it.
With Reese's fresh voice and delightful humor, "Make the Bread, Buy
the Butter "has 120 recipes with eminently practical yet
deliciously fun "make or buy" recommendations. Her tales include
living with a backyard full of cheerful chickens, muttering ducks,
and adorable baby goats; countertops laden with lacto-fermenting
pickles; and closets full of mellowing cheeses. Here's the full
picture of what is involved in a truly homemade life and how to get
the most out of your time in the kitchen--with the good news that
you shouldn't try to make everything yourself.
SEVEN LESSONS ON ARCHITECTURAL MORPHOGENESIS It is the author's
fourth extensive book on drawings in architectural design. It
follows the Thought Palaces (1999), Thinkink (2010) and Urban
Innuendoes (2013). All these books favored drawings as compared to
text, but this book has no written text at all (with the exception
of the acknowledgements and the contents page). Its motto is:
drawings speak in many thongs, they form the text of this book. It
contains seven architectural projects, all designed by the author,
and with one exception, they are all international competitions
about complex and significant public buildings. None of his winning
projects are among them, because the purpose of the book is to
provide insights related to the secrets of the intuitive and
rational process of the thoughts to matter transformation. All the
freehand ink drawings are made by the author, using the
"spaceprints" method. Visit the short video:
