This book gives biblical and historical information about the
Biblical Hebrew Israelites (children of Israel/12 Tribes) and how
the Most High made a covenant with them and they disobeyed him,
thus causing the fall of them. I believe that the suffering and
challenges that the so-called Negroes of American and the 12 Tribes
did not happen accidentally. Until the so called Negroes of
American and the 12 Tribes around the world come back to their true
Nationality and knowledge of the God of Israel, then can we become
that mighty and powerful nation that we was in biblical times. I
believe that this book will fill in the missing facts about the
true identity and heritage of the so called Negroes of America and
the 12 Tribes throughout the world. The real truth has been hidden,
distorted and suppressed by the enemies of the Most High chosen
people.
I asked in Volume One of the series "This World's War on Fathers
and Family," Is she crazy or demon possessed? With the mounting
number of incidents where women have harmed or even killed their
own male children, spouses or significant others, I think that we
can now see that there is more going on than a little agitation.
What is ultimately inside of any woman that would blatantly deny
the scriptures has come to a place where it wants to be out in the
open AND accepted by all. What is really going on? The truth here
is that there is no such thing as a woman who is not submitted to
"Something." The real question is "What" is she submitted to. The
answer goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden. These are not
"Women." They are something different completely. "Jezebel Rising"
is a study of just what drives our sisters to this place and how it
fits within the context of scripture. Elderyoungman.......

parents to gradually expand a child's understanding of life

Caroline does a beautiful job explaining the physical changes that
occur during puberty while including the responsibility to be true

but the parents also reading this book as an aid." Patti Maguire

In today's world of conflict and change, no one can escape the
reality that Islam is spreading very fast. Since 9/11, the Muslim
population has doubled in the United States of America. Muslims are
building mosques and Islamic centers throughout the country. There
is an increasing fear among Americans of the imminent threat of
terrorism by Muslims in America. What does Islam teach about
terrorism? What is Jihad? What does Islam teach about Christians
and Jews? What are the basic beliefs of Muslims? Are all Muslims
extremists? How about the ones living among us? Do Muslims hate
non-Muslims (specifically Christians and Jews)? Is Islam a religion
of peace? These and many other questions will be answered in this
book. Understanding Islam is the only way to reach out to Muslims
in America and worldwide. The Muslim Next Door, is a guide for
churches and individuals to evangelize Muslims. A clear
understanding of pure Islamic knowledge can make a difference in
our relationships with Muslims in our neighborhoods.
Dr. Morey's ministry is recommended by some of the best-known
Christians leaders in this generation: D. James Kennedy, John
Ankerberg, Gordon Clark, John Frame, Cornelius Van Til, Walter
Martin, Gleason Archer, Stephen Olford, Francis A. Schaeffer and
many others. He is the author of over fifty-eight books. "This book
is "practical" in the best sense; not a mere simplification, but an
attempt to communicate solid content; to warm the heart; and to
move the will to obedience as well as to inform the mind. This is
done quite skillfully without any reluctance to get into some
depth." Prof. John M. Frame (Reformed Theological Seminary) "Dr.
Morey has provided a very useful work dealing with both the
accomplishment and the application of the redemptive work of
Christ. This is presented in a soundly Reformed perspective and
deals in a straightforward manner with all the major issues to be
considered. An interesting original approach to the order of
salvation is to be noted." Dr. Roger Nicole (Reformed Theological
Seminary) "We recommend this 300+ page book as a fine statement of
the doctrine of the Atonement. It is comprehensive, readable,
practical and Scriptural. We hope it finds wide acceptance."

Section one of this International Handbook attends to the
philosophical and theoretical aspects of inter-religious education.
The authors who contribute to this section critique current
religious educational practice and offer skills, information and
criteria for theory building in the area of inter-religious
education. Among the contributors to this section of the
International Handbook, one is from the United Kingdom, five are
from the Untied Statures of America, two from Africa, and there is
one contributor from each of Canada, Latvia and Norway. Two
contributors are from the Jewish tradition, one from Islam, one
from Orthodox Christianity and the others from a range of different
Christian orientations. Their theories and philosophies of
inter-religious education are informed by a range of perspectives
including human rights, feminist theory and the perspective of
Jewish-Christian and inter-religious dialogue.
Section two deals with religious education for inter-religious
engagement. The body of scholarship contained in this section
argues that religious education needs to provide an empathetic
understanding of people, their histories and contexts, and the role
of religion in their lives. Of the thirteen scholars who will
contribute to this section, one is from the United States of
America, two are from Ireland, two are from the United Kingdom, two
from Canada and the remaining are from Japan, the Netherlands, New
Zealand, Israel, Australia and India. Much of this section draws on
recent empirical research and it covers such diverse topics as
fundamentalism and ecumenism, critical reflexivity, dialogue
between Judaism and Islam, Islamic values and the role of Buddhism
in promoting inter-religious education.
Section three analyses the connection between inter-religious
education and the promotion of social justice and peace. Indeed a
concern for justice and peace is common to all religions and can be
the focus of inter-religious education. Among the scholars who will
contribute to this section, four are Australian, two are German,
and the remaining are from Norway, the United Kingdom, India, the
Netherlands and Mumbai. Motifs in this section of the International
Handbook cover suffering as a lens for understanding the history of
religions, inter-religious tolerance, fundamentalism and
fanaticism, peace education, theology and the role and critique of
all of these in inter-religious education for social justice and
peace.
Section four Inter-religious education for citizenship and human
rights brings together a number of religious educators, expert
theorists, empirical researchers and those working in international
educational policy to examine the role of inter-religious education
in promoting citizenship and human rights. Scholars will contribute
to this section from Switzerland, England, Australia, France,
Finland, Russia, Norway, the United States of America, Germany,
Sweden and Japan. The chapters in this section will cover the
specifically religious dimensions of policy and practice in human
rights and citizenship and will draw on the policies and works of
international bodies such as UNESCO as well as providing more local
perspectives.
John Wesley wrote this series of sermon commentaries to help people
understand Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. It took him over 15 years to
complete this important work. Over time changes within the English
language caused some of these writings to be very difficult for the
average person to read and were really only suited for the most
dedicated theologian. through careful and sensitive editing Claire
Weakley, Jr. has brought these sermons back to life for every
reader in the modern world to be able to enjoy and understand
Wesley's insights and teachings regarding the Sermon on the Mount.
Towards a Philosophy of Education is Charlotte Mason's final book
in her Homeschooling Series, written after years of seeing her
approach in action. This volume gives the best overview of her
philosophy, and includes the final version of her 20 Principles.
This book is particularly directed to parents of older children,
about ages 12 and up, but is a valuable overview for parents of
younger children as well. Part I develops and discusses her 20
principles; Part II discusses the practical application of her
theories. Charlotte Mason was a late nineteenth-century British
educator whose ideas were far ahead of her time. She believed that
children are born persons worthy of respect, rather than blank
slates, and that it was better to feed their growing minds with
living literature and vital ideas and knowledge, rather than dry
facts and knowledge filtered and pre-digested by the teacher. Her
method of education, still used by some private schools and many
homeschooling families, is gentle and flexible, especially with
younger children, and includes first-hand exposure to great and
noble ideas through books in each school subject, conveying wonder
and arousing curiosity, and through reflection upon great art,
music, and poetry; nature observation as the primary means of early
science teaching; use of manipulatives and real-life application to
understand mathematical concepts and learning to reason, rather
than rote memorization and working endless sums; and an emphasis on
character and on cultivating and maintaining good personal habits.
Schooling is teacher-directed, not child-led, but school time
should be short enough to allow students free time to play and to
pursue their own worthy interests such as handicrafts. Traditional
Charlotte Mason schooling is firmly based on Christianity, although
the method is also used successfully by secular families and
families of other religions.
This groundbreaking collection explores the important ways Jesuits
have employed rhetoric, the ancient art of persuasion and the
current art of communications, from the sixteenth century to the
present. Much of the history of how Jesuit traditions contributed
to the development of rhetorical theory and pedagogy has been lost,
effaced, or dispersed. As a result, those interested in Jesuit
education and higher education in the United States, as well as
scholars and teachers of rhetoric, are often unaware of this living
450-year-old tradition. Written by highly regarded scholars of
rhetoric, composition, education, philosophy, and history, many
based at Jesuit colleges and universities, the essays in this
volume explore the tradition of Jesuit rhetorical education-that
is, constructing "a more usable past" and a viable future for
eloquentia perfecta, the Jesuits' chief aim for the liberal arts.
Intended to foster eloquence across the curriculum and into the
world beyond, Jesuit rhetoric integrates intellectual rigor, broad
knowledge, civic action, and spiritual discernment as the chief
goals of the educational experience. Consummate scholars and
rhetors, the early Jesuits employed all the intellectual and
language arts as "contemplatives in action," preaching and
undertaking missionary, educational, and charitable works in the
world. The study, pedagogy, and practice of classical grammar and
rhetoric, adapted to Christian humanism, naturally provided a
central focus of this powerful educational system as part of the
Jesuit commitment to the Ministries of the Word. This book traces
the development of Jesuit rhetoric in Renaissance Europe, follows
its expansion to the United States, and documents its reemergence
on campuses and in scholarly discussions across America in the
twenty-first century. Traditions of Eloquence provides a wellspring
of insight into the past, present, and future of Jesuit rhetorical
traditions. In a period of ongoing reformulations and applications
of Jesuit educational mission and identity, this collection of
compelling essays helps provide historical context, a sense of
continuity in current practice, and a platform for creating future
curricula and pedagogy. Moreover it is a valuable resource for
anyone interested in understanding a core aspect of the Jesuit
educational heritage.
In this remarkable book JOHN TODD (1800-1873) begins what he hoped
to be a Systematic Theology for Children. He begins with Theology
Proper, the Doctrine of God, and he covers the following: IS THERE
ANY GOD? GOD IS A SPIRIT GOD ETERNAL GOD IS EVERY WHERE GOD
ALL-WISE GOD KNOWS EVERY THING GOD'S POWER TRUTH OF GOD GOD DOES AS
HE PLEASES GOD IS HOLY GOD IS GOOD Richard Newton, who was called
by Spurgeon "The Prince of Preachers to Children," said the
following about John Todd: "When I was a young man I happened to
read a volume of "Lectures for Children" which had been written and
published by Dr. John Todd. I felt then as if I had found a gold
mine. That volume lasted me all through college, and taught me how
to talk to children." This volume also includes an ADDRESS TO
MOTHERS which is one of the finest brief essays we have ever read
on the powerful influence of mothers on their children. It alone is
worth the price of the book.
By God's grace, I have taken it upon myself to write down some of
the principles that He taught me concerning discernment, spirit
beings and walking in the realm of the spirit. So many people in
Christendom have little or no knowledge at all concerning what goes
on in the spiritual realm. As a result, they are not able to fight
off the enemy of their soul who is out to steal, kill and destroy
every human being. My hope is that people's spiritual "eyes of
understanding will be enlightened" as they study the principles
outlined in this book. It is designed to help the reader understand
the key principles about discerning of spirits, the origin of evil
spirits, the activities of evil spirits, how to identify evil
spirits and how to expel evil spirits. I also answered one of the
most frequently asked questions in the body of Christ today, "Can a
Christian Have a Demon?" It is my hope and desire that by the time
an average person goes through the teachings outlined in this book,
he or she will no longer be ignorant about evil spirits and about
spiritual matters. I therefore, encourage you to take the Chapters
in this book seriously and make a determination to apprehend the
principles outlined in each Chapter. May the Lord give you great
revelation as you read.
"This little work, after having passed through fifteen editions in
this country (USA), and we know not how many in England, after
having been translated into French, German, Greek, and many more
languages, printed in raised letters for the blind, and last of
all, having been adopted as a school-book for the liberated slaves
at Sierra Leone, is now sent forth by the publishers in a new
dress, with the addition of two new Lectures." - Author's Preface
John Todd (1800-1873) was a graduate of Yale College and Andover
Theological Seminary. His theology was molded by the works of
Jonathan Edwards, and he had the privilege of pastoring Edwards
Memorial Church in Northampton, MA. These lectures are the fruit of
a ministry directed with conviction to the consciences of the
young. From the opening page of these lectures the reader is
addressed in such a personal way that he cannot but hear the words
for himself. Not only should these be read by and to children, but
every pastor and Sunday School teacher should read it and learn the
delicate art of speaking to children. This was a best seller in the
middle of the 19th century, but it has been buried for more than
125 years. It is high time Todd was able to speak again for the
cause of God and truth.
