This book portrays the life of the great King David from a first
person viewpoint. Thus it enables the reader to see the life and
times of King David as though he were on the scene. It paints a
verbal portrait of King David in a "warts and all" way, that is, it
tells of his strengths and weaknesses. Some of the high points in
his life, such as slaying the giant Goliath, his sin of adultery
with the beautiful Bathsheba, fleeing from the army of his
rebellious son Absalom, are vividly portrayed from his own
viewpoint. This book is designed to enable the reader to understand
how King David became known as a "man after God's own heart."
From 1942 until 2008 Herbert Palfrey has written poetry in praise

take comfort and feel as happy reading them, as he has in writing
them.
In an aggregate account, traditional churches collect more than
$420 billion in tithes and donations annually. With such an
extensive source of incoming wealth, it is unimaginable that the
sincere needs of the donating parishioners are left unattended. The
growing numbers of mega-churches are consistently ran and operated
as businesses by affluent ministers who are treated more like
celebrities rather than servants of Christ. They consider their
church as their business and they attend to them as Corporate
CEO's, leading unsuspecting would-be followers of Christ down an
eternal road to spiritual destruction. This book, while destined to
be controversial, promises to expose the very things celebrity-like
ministers are hiding from thier unsuspecting congregation of
followers. It exposes the materialism and greed that has crept its
way into the church's pulpit, causing corruption so devastating
that God himself has vowed not to dwell therein. It is packed full
of truths and exposes an organized institution of unsound
principles an immoral values that are being taught in order to keep
you addicted to their incognito crack houses that are passing
themselves off as churches in the name of Christ. This book should
free you from the bondage of modern day church slavery and the
witchcraft that many are following and practicing while being
totally oblivious to what they are doing. Could it possibly be you?
Are you still paying tithes and sewing seeds to get blessings from
God? If your answer is yes, you need this truth You shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you free - but only if you are able
to fully digest the truth that lies within the pages of this book.
Do you want to go to heaven? To learn how, read Heaven Above the
Heavens. Heaven and hell are thought to be imaginary, but they
really do exist. No religion can make you repent your sins and lead
you to heaven. Instead, you have to meet heaven to repent. Only
through the "voice," will you know whether you are forgiven. It is
only at Jamigug, where you can meet and listen to the voice of
heaven. The name of the nation establishing a world government is
called Jamigug. This book explains that heaven, the center of the
human race, exists and there is a way to get there after death.
Putting your belief in religion will not save you or help you get
to heaven. Instead, one has to visit the heaven on Earth, and that
place is not a religion. For the first time in history, the human
race will be relieved from its apprehension and be free to live in
joy and happiness. Readers will discover that there is a way to
bring peace to the world, when the power of heaven creates Jamigug
to unite the peoples of the world and build a true paradise on
Earth. The author lives in Seoul Korea and is working on the next
book. Publisher's website:

Jewish thought is, in many ways, a paradox. Is it theology or is it
philosophy? Does it use universal methods to articulate Judaism's
particularity or does it justify Judaism's particularity with
appeals to illuminating the universal? These two sets of claims are
difficult if not impossible to reconcile, and their tension
reverberates throughout the length and breadth of Jewish
philosophical writing, from Saadya Gaon in the ninth century to
Emmanuel Levinas in the twentieth. Rather than assume, as most
scholars of Jewish philosophy do, that the terms "philosophy" and
"Judaism" simply belong together, Hughes explores the juxtaposition
and the creative tension that ensues from their cohabitation,
examining adroitly the historical, cultural, intellectual, and
religious filiations between Judaism and philosophy. Breaking with
received opinion, this book seeks to challenge the exclusionary,
particularist, and essentialist nature that is inherent to the
practice of something problematically referred to as "Jewish
philosophy." Hughes begins with the premise that Jewish philosophy
is impossible and begins the process of offering a sophisticated
and constructive rethinking of the discipline that avoids the
traditional extremes of universalism and particularism.
This book will lower your excitement about religion but will
intensify your pursuit to establish the kingdom here on earth. I
never cease to be amazed at how so many who say they are followers
of Jesus Christ can believe that Jesus has stopped forgiving,
healing, and calling leaders into His vineyards when there is so
much to do. This book is here to let everyone know that He (Jesus)
has not returned yet, but His power still generates in those who
have accepted Him as their Lord and savior and are willing to hold
on to the faith. Leadership style does not mean that the agenda is
different. Many leaders today are uncomfortable with the presence
of another approach to ministry. It calls for us to observe that
all the apostles had different styles in approaching situations and
difficulties; yet, the ministry of Jesus was their priority alone.
Leadership, just as everyone else, will have to make adjustments as
long as leading is on the agenda and in process.
The Twelve Steps program of Alcoholics Anonymous has helped
millions of us. Without it we would not have found our way. I for
one am extremely grateful for this life saving gift. My concern for
its continued life is the drifting from its foundation. The Twelve
Step program has lost its fire. The fire lost is the spirit, the
spirit of God. The spirit is still smoldering in the Twelve Step
program, just waiting to be ignited again. I will introduce you to
the founding fathers of AA; show how the program's foundation was
originally based in Christianity and a relationship with Jesus;
share my experience with the Twelve Steps developed by the founding
fathers; and provide you with a method to apply the Twelve Steps as
originally developed by the founding fathers to your life. Working
the Twelve Steps as they were originally intended can change your
life dramatically, break the addiction cycle and create a
relationship with Jesus. The fire of the Holy Spirit will become
part of your life. Gary Agnew has recaptured the original and true
spirit of the Twelve Step Movement that was founded upon explicitly
Christian principles; namely, that without Christ we can do
nothing, but in Him we can do everything. A Higher Power of this
Movement was originally the Holy Spirit of the Christ who lives
within. Faith, hope, love and forgiveness are the essential
principles of AA. Rev. William McCarthy, MSA An essential role of
healing is turning our minds and hearts toward God. Gary Agnew
captures the centrality of this wisdom in a remarkable way in his
Twelve Step book. In recovery sometimes therapy is needed;
sometimes medication, but ultimately the healing is between the
person and God. The Twelve Steps are a way of life-a guide that
everyone can use to live in freedom and peace. The Holy Spirit is
the Guide within it who heals us. I am thrilled to have this book
as a resource in the healing process. Mary Alice Rossini, NP Nurse
Practitioner/Psychiatry
These poems deal mostly with Biblical issues. Some address our
human condition based on the Scriptures. Others deal with unseen
influences that many of us are unaware of, but which impact our
lives for better or worse. They were written as a result of 21
years of studying the Bible. Originally my journey into the
Scriptures began as I sought solutions to my own problems. However
over the years it has became a quest for answers to life's deeper
issues. When I began reading the Bible I did not believe I would
find solutions to my problems. I started reading it out of
desperation after I had exhausted books on philosophy and the
occult and just about anything else I got my hands on. I read many
books promising "the secret" but they disappointed me. It is really
astonishing that a book which just about everyone has sitting
around really has the answer to every human need. I wrote these
poems because I came to the realization that many people like me
years ago, do not believe in the spiritual. And yet I believe it is
evident that if we disregard Biblical teachings about the spiritual
realms, life simply does not make a lot of sense. However it is
also my experience that many people who claim to be spiritual do
not understand what the Bible teaches about the spiritual realm
that operates in the earth. These poems were also written for
people who have difficulty reading and understanding the
Scriptures. I try to clarify misunderstanding about many important
Biblical issues such as Hell and pre-destination. They are written
in simple poetic language for the benefit of anyone who is
interested in Biblical Truth
Of course a great pair of heels will make any women feel confident
in herself. Standards in Stilletos is a collection of Jazmin's blog
articles and encouraging quotes. The articles promote female
empowerment, self-love, respect for ourselves as women, and never
allowing yourself to be disrespected. The articles put things in to
perspective for women everywhere on how they can build up their
self-esteem and happiness. The articles also touch on relationships
and how women should refrain from selling themselves a dream by
lowering standards or creating standards that are too high. The
book illistrates that relationships require hard work,
determination, and respect on all levels. In order for women to be
able to love, they must find the love for themselves.
"I really believe we can find the answers to the questions and
problems of life in God's word, the Bible, and I tried to convey
that to my students over the years. Studying the Bible is
spiritually enlightening and personally empowering to make you a
better parent, child, friend and witness for Christ. Studying the
bible can also be fun. By using the outline approach, you can
organize your thoughts, and increase your understanding of the
truths and principals from the scriptures. Read this book for some
examples of outlining, then choose a scripture and make your own
outlines."
