The book Hajj and Zakah provides readers with both a general
overview and where needed, some in depth information and guidance
on basics of Islam. All of the primary subjects within the three
branches of Shariah, Aqidah (doctrine), Fiqh (jurisprudence),
Tasawwuf (spirituality and self purification) are covered and a
general basic understanding of Islam in a modern context through an
easy way to follow question and answer format. Some of the most
common yet unanswered, day to day issues are replied to using
juristic methods from sound sources of Qur'an and Hadith. These are
not only of benefit for the purpose of self study, for anybody of
any age and from every walk of life, it is also a very useful
reference source which caters for the needs of academic
institutions, libraries and study circles.
"Prayers to Move Your Mountains" is a new intercessory prayer
handbook for Charismatic and Pentecostal Christians. Like classic
books of prayer that have helped believers in their prayer lives
over the years, this book emphasizes not only prayers for self, but
others, too. Each prayer is woven together with scripture verses
and with notes referring to specific biblical texts. Types of
prayers include prayers that worship and glorify the Lord, praying
to enter God's presence, praying for revival, praying for others,
praying for forgiveness and power over sin, praying for personal
needs, and praying for the coming of the Kingdom of God.
The transformation of man to beast is a central aspect of
traditional pagan rituals that are centuries old and which
celebrate the seasonal cycle, fertility, life and death. Each year,
throughout Europe, from Scotland to Bulgaria, from Finland to
Italy, from Portugal to Greece via France, Switzerland and Germany,
people literally put themselves into the skin of the 'savage', in
masquerades that stretch back centuries. By becoming a bear, a
goat, a stag or a wild boar, a man of straw, a devil or a monster
with jaws of steel, these people celebrate the cycle of life and of
the seasons. Their costumes, made of animal skins or of plants, and
decorated with bones, encircled with bells, and capped with horns
or antlers, amaze us with their extraordinary diversity and
prodigious beauty. Work on this project took photographer Charles
Freger to eighteen European countries in search of the mythological
figure of the Wild Man: Austria, Italy, Hungary, Slovenia,
Slovakia, Spain, Poland, Portugal, Germany, Greece, Macedonia,
Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Croatia, Finland, Romania
and the UK.
