This compelling reconstruction of the life and thought of St Paul paints a vivid picture of the Roman world in which he preached his revolutionary message and explains the significance of his lasting impact on both the Church and the world. Regarded by many as the founder of Christianity, Paul of Tarsus is one of the most controversial and powerful figures in history. His writings have had an incalculable influence on Western culture and beyond, and his words continue to guide the lives of over two billion Christians across the world today. In this superbly detailed biography Tom Wright traces Paul's career from zealous persecutor of the fledgling Church, through his journeys as the world's greatest missionary theologian, to his likely death as a Christian martyr at the hands of Nero in the mid 60s CE. Drawing judiciously on the latest research into the Jewish, Greek and Roman worlds, and enriched by a wealth of critical insight into Paul's own writings, this is the most rounded portrait of the apostle ever painted - his development, motivations, spiritual struggles and intellectual achievements, and his lasting impact over two millennia.

Pastor Jim Knotek has experienced quite a few miracles and healings among his parishioners and, especially, at home with his family. Miracles certainly fascinate us; even so, we must focus not on the miracle but on the miracle-maker, Jesus Christ. There would be no other reason for a miracle, unless Jesus was at the very center of it. He and His angels are continually watching over. Angels and miracles are interrelated, intertwined under all conditions and circumstances. As God's children, we are in a very unique relationship with Him and His angels. "Angels and Miracles, Grief and Hope, " includes the word grief because most of us have had firsthand knowledge of death and grief among our immediate family, relatives, or friends. Grief and death are not pleasant thoughts, but unfortunately, we can't get away from those unwelcome intruders. The sadness and desolation of dealing with Alzheimer's disease and the trauma of losing a spouse are wrapped in the knowledge that there is life after death and that Jesus Christ is God In his memoir, Pastor Knotek tells his story and shares the glory of God and the place that miracles and angels play in the biggest miracle-life

In 1982, after the death of her second husband, Margery McManus Leach began a life of travel that opened her eyes to the many injustices in the world. In "On Being Born Again and Again, " she recounts how her life was constantly renewed by responding to the needs of others in foreign lands. Her rebirths, as she refers to them, began when she began participating in church-sponsored seminars in 1982. While she was visiting in the Marshall Islands on a National Council of Churches overseas seminar experience, she heard testimony from individuals who had suffered grievously from US nuclear testing. She was horrified by what the United States government had done to these people and further distressed that their independence was being delayed until an agreement was signed that would continue unwanted nuclear presence in their territory. She could not maintain her silence about these injustices, and in 1984 it became her mission to travel around the United States exposing their actions as well as the roadblocks to world peace that they built up. This revised edition of "On Being Born Again and Again" incorporates pieces from the earlier edition of the book with this revised edition, providing background for this edition.

But all of that changed New Year's Day 1971, when in a moment of greatest despair, James cried out for an answer: "God, if You're really real, You're going to have to reveal Yourself to me, because I can't take this anymore "

I have heard your cry for reality, and I love you just the way that you are."
