The Holy Scripture of the Qur'an is enticing and enchanting, captivating and concerning. It provides unfeigned direction for the virtuous. It gives a detailed enunciation of the faith. It teaches men to adhere to a common belief and conviction that is deeper than human consciousness. In "Glorious Qur'an in Poetic Stance, Part II" author Rashid Seyal provides detailed elucidations about this ancient text-a text that has appealed to a broad audience over a long period of time.

Seyal's work on Qur'anic poetry and the philosophical interpretation in light of modern day science has given a new direction to understanding the Holy Scripture. The "Glorious Qur'an in Poetic Stance, Part II" elucidates on: Earthy pot Efflux or soul Fate and fortune Intelligence Veracity of intelligence Intelligence in discipline Fortune in discipline Endowment of discipline Demise in death Written in three languages-English poetry, Arabic, and Urdu translations-"Glorious Qur'an in Poetic Stance, Part II" strives to make sense of a text filled with the puzzle and riddle of interpretation.

"Window to Eternity "theorizes that the material world is our learning plane, that is, a stage, as Shakespeare maintains. Nor is physical life meaningless as agnostics, atheists, and many sufferers, oft en contend. Were it so, our Creator would be stupid for having created us, which contradicts the incredible, clock-running universe, the spiritual world (heaven), and life that It created.

Religions, odd philosophies, superstitions, fearful notions and so on, have clouded man's understanding about our purpose here, not our Creator. Simply put, God gives us the opportunity to utilize objects (things) so we can learn how to be generous and loving, not greedy, revengeful and cruel which we cannot learn (or reject) in a spiritual domain lacking anything tangible.

Although many believe or have faith that God answers prayers and interferes in our lives, were this true, It would have long since stopped wars, famines, and disasters, et cetera, most of which we have caused. Nor does this mean that we cannot receive help from great souls like Jesus, as this author discusses.

Though God has given us free choice, It created us fallible. Therefore, judging, punishing, and sending some of us to hell (a concept "which we concocted, not God"), for so-called sins, while saving "favorites" during Armageddon, would be injustice sublime. Besides, whisking favorites away, while leaving most of us behind to suffer catastrophic pain and anguish, would be the epitome of immorality, worse than what civilization's worst dictators wreaked upon us. The Supreme Intelligence is obviously loving or nothing would exist. Beliefs that suggest otherwise are irreverent.

"Window to Eternity "evaluates that we are mostly in tune with the physical part of ourselves, not the spiritual, namely the soul, though it lives forever aft er entering the next world. Furthermore, although we depend on parents to raise us, employers to provide jobs so we can eat, and so on, there, our souls are free to group with morally and spiritually compatible others.

Despite the glitter, gadgets, and toys for young and old, our challenge in a mostly capitalistic world, is to strive to be "much "more loving (than we are), which is a positive energy force we must take to the next dimension in order to prevent negative souls from overruling it, which would cause its collapse, including the Creator, our world, and us.

This is an inspiring story about the life of Kristin Michelle Beaucher, how she touched thousands of lives, all of the pain and suffering she overcame, and how her faith in God only grew stronger. Losing her battle with cancer at the early age of nine never changed the person she was or made her lose sight of what she wanted to accomplish. Kristin was diagnosed with medduloblastoma (brain cancer) at the young age of two and a half. She dealt with more pain and suffering than many adults will endure in their entire life. Kristin overcame every obstacle in her path and every problem that came her way with a smile on her face and love pouring from her heart. Kristin was truly an angel, a gift from God himself, who changed the lives of everyone she met, sometimes without even saying a word. She gave when she had nothing left to give, and her legacy lives on through each and every one of us who had the honor of knowing her. "I have cancer so that I can be the one to prove to everybody that God can create miracles." This is my daughter, and she gave her life to save mine. I promised Kristin that I would live every day as she did, to do my very best, and to make her as proud of me as I was of her. I know I will never be able to even come close, but Kristin never gave up. How in the world could I? Sweetie, you will always be my baby, my angel, and my hero

We have many words that can describe our seasons of life. These words can lead to God's promises of love, mercy, and compassion. The Father wants to meet with you, refresh you, and encourage you...one word at a time. Jenny invites you to remember to live each day in the Light of God's faithfulness as she equips you with scriptures to remind you that, In Christ, every moment is a God moment. This devotional book is designed to be a study tool adaptable for group study, Sunday School lessons, devotions, or personal quiet times with the Lord. JENNY PFISTER is a powerful communicator, Bible teacher, and speaker whom God has anointed and used in a mighty way to touch the lives of countless women and men who are seeking the Lord. Gifted and lead by the Holy Spirit, Jenny thrives on teaching the Word of God through weekly interdenominational women's Bible studies and a weekly TV series called One Brushstroke at a Time. She also leads and teaches at women's retreats and conferences, offers spiritual direction and counsel to many, and regularly preaches and leads worship services at her home church, Breath of God Worship Ministry in Buckhannon, West Virginia. A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Jenny felt overwhelming love for Jesus at an early age, and sensed God calling her to her first teaching ministry at the age of 22 at The Whitehouse Fellowship, a singles ministry at Timonium Presbyterian Church. At the same time, while teaching music at a private Jewish school in Owings Mills, Maryland, Jenny fell in love with the Old Testament. Layer upon layer, it exploded with life and relevance and became the canvas on which the Lord would paint a perfect picture of unity, truth, and fulfillment of the Old and New Testaments. The Lord was gradually birthing in Jenny the ministry that she would later establish, Brushstroke Ministries. After moving to West Virginia to serve in the Southern Baptist Convention as the state's keyboard and piano specialist, Jenny began to conduct women's Bible studies in homes and churches. In February 2001, she stepped out in faith and founded Brushstroke Ministries, a three-fold ministry of worship, prayer, and study of the Word of God for women of all denominations. Her fervent passion for the Word, along with her spiritual gifting and keen ear for the Lord's direction, has been Jenny's motivation for writing this series of devotional books. She paints a picture with her words, one brushstroke at a time, capturing the beauty of the Lord and His unfailing love for us. Those associated with this blessed ministry pray that as you read these devotionals, you will be touched by His Peace and find comfort in His Presence. To Him be all the glory

In my mind's eye, a little girl crouches in a dark and cluttered hallway closet. Mountains of stuff fill this tiny room, where she remains hidden from everyone and everything. Besides the stuff of anger and doubt in this small space, the walls have writing on them that names the fears, insecurities, and reasons for shielding herself from the unfamiliar and the unknown. Many times, the little girl tries to exit her safe place. With a mask of self-prescribed extroversion, she determinedly leaves the four walls of her secret domain to be good at things and people-a good student, wife, even a mother. Hesitantly, she tells herself that hope and joy are within reach. But after a short stay away from the security of the hallway closet, the little girl goes back inside and continues hiding from life.

I was that young girl. I did not want to live this way any longer, so I cried out to God-who had been with me all along. He knew my pain, insecurities, anger, and fear. Bigger than any wall of self-protection I built, God would bring down these walls if I let him. My crying out was the first step.

LET THE AGES ROLL is a Bible-based book which expounds the truths in God's Word about longevity, health, and prosperity. God's Word has much to say about His will to lengthen your days, to give you health, and to provide the resources for living and giving.

In Part Two of this book, the marriage of the author, and his wife Anna plays a very vital roll. They each lost their spouse in 2007. Many years had passed without seeing each other, even though the couples had been long-time friends. After a brief courtship Nolan and Anna were married in 2008. The happiness that came into their life has had a major influence on Part Two of LET THE AGES ROLL.

The author calls attention to scriptures that encourage seniors to make good choices when facing life alone in their 'golden years'. God said, "It is not good that man should live alone" (King James Version). In LET THE AGES ROLL, Nolan addresses the purpose of grief and gives Biblical evidence that grief is meant to be temporary, not permanent. Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. It is the author's desire that people love life and live it to the fullest.

In this fast-paced, pressure-packed, and turbulent world--where truth has become subjective, and living the Christian life with an uncompromising perspective has become a challenge for the child of God-nothing compares with sitting down with God through the pages of His word, and beholding Him through the eyes of the Spirit in a way that opens the Father's heart to you in a refreshing way.

This book does exactly that. It takes the reader, pulls you into compelling stories told with an African perspective, and brings you into the presence of the Most High; where you are left with no other option but to surrender to the majesty of Christ Jesus, our Savior and Lord, who is worthy of all our praise and worship for victorious living.
