Faith-Based Solutions to Caring for the Earth Climate change is a
confusing and polarizing issue. It may also prove to be the most
daunting challenge of this century because children, the elderly,
and the poor will be the first to feel its effects. The issue is
all over the news, but what is seldom heard is a conservative,
evangelical perspective. Connecting the dots between science and
faith, this book explores the climate debate and how Christians can
take the lead in caring for God's creation. The authors answer top
questions such as "What's really happening?" and "Who can we
trust?" and discuss stewarding the earth in light of evangelical
values. "Acting on climate change is not about political agendas,"
they say. "It's about our kids. It's about being a disciple of
Jesus Christ." Capping off this empowering book are practical,
simple ideas for improving our environment and helping our families
and those around us.
This history covers the filmmaking tradition often referred to as
cinema militant, which emerged in France during the events of May
1968 and flourished for a decade. While some films produced were
created by established filmmakers, including Chris Marker, Jean-Luc
Godard, and William Klein, others were helmed by left-wing
filmmakers working in the extreme margins of French cinema. This
latter group gave voice to underrepresented populations, such as
undocumented immigrants (sans papiers), entry-level factory workers
(ouvriers specialises), highly intellectual Marxist-Leninist
collectives, and militant special interest groups. While this book
spans the broad history of this uncharted tradition, it
particularly focuses on these lesser-known figures and works and
the films of Cinelutte, Les groupes medvedkine, Atelier de
recherche cinematographique, Cinethique, and the influential
Marxist filmmaker Jean-Pierre Thorn. Each represent a certain
tendency of this movement in French film history, offering an
invaluable account of a tradition that also sought to share untold
histories.

Ealing Studios comedy set in the Scottish isles. Hollywood's Paul
Douglas plays Marshall, an American businessman who becomes
involved with The Maggie, a rundown old shipping vessel captained
by the taciturn skipper (Alex Mackenzie), when he is trying to find
a way to convey his luggage to a remote island. It doesn't take
Marshall long to realise that the skipper and his crew have pulled
a fast one on him - but what can he do to stop them?
This book explores the nature of human language, its relation to
truth and to the natural laws of the universe. It focuses on truth
according to Advaita (non-dualism), and concentrates mainly on the
Sanskrit language. The author draws on his long experience as a
student and teacher of both Advaita and Sanskrit. He identifies
some principles of Advaita which are particularly relevant to human
language, such as the primacy of consciousness, unity in diversity,
and sound as the basis of the universe. He then compares Sanskrit,
English and Mandarin in the light of these principles. What follows
is an investigation of how far the basic elements of the Sanskrit
language such as its alphabet, its roots and the deep structure of
its grammar, may be seen as the expression of such principles. The
book continues with an examination of the fundamental nature of
words, of sentences and of meaning, all of which are illumined by
insights into the deeper significance of the sound and structure of
the Sanskrit language. What emerges is a radically different view
of language from that found in most modern Western philosophy.
Human language is seen as having an innate capacity to reflect the
light of consciousness, the primary element of the universe, and
evidence is provided to show the extraordinary reflective capacity
of the Sanskrit language. Many books have been written on Advaita,
but the combination of Advaita and language as tackled in this book
may be unique.

As the author of The Conclusion to the Whole Matter, I conclude
that it's a risk of emotions to read this book. Because The
Conclusion to the Whole Matter is a two-edged sword that cuts
through myths, pagan practices, abominations, and the detestable
traditions of men that are manifested in our society, and also in
the churches of God. The Conclusion to the Whole Matter will stir
up different emotions in all readers that read its contents,
because The Conclusion to the Whole Matter will not let you see the
world of Christianity as you once imagined it to be. The
rose-colored glasses that most people view Christianity through may
not seem so rosy after reading The Conclusion to the Whole Matter.
But The Conclusion to the Whole Matter is the whole truth based on
the word of God. In our society today men abhor the truth--they
twist and veil it in darkness and insincerity. The Conclusion to
the Whole Matter unveils hidden things that professing Christians
might wish would stay hidden from the light. The contents of this
book are devoted to the feelings and emotions of God. The Bible
consists of approximately 782,000 words. The Conclusion to the
Whole Matter is summed up in six words. But it's taken me
approximately 152,000 words to put definition to The Conclusion to
the Whole Matter. In the last days it will be 144,000 men of God
and a flying angel who preach the last gospel on earth. The last
gospel preached will be The Conclusion to the Whole Matter.

The Founders warned about placing too much power in the hands of
too few people. This book explains the warnings of the
Antifederalists, in their own words, simplified into modern
English. In its pages you will read some of the most important
writings from America's Founders--important but forgotten. It is
the greatest case of to the victor go the spoils in American
history. The advocates of the United States Constitution won,
narrowly, and the counter-argument of the opponents became the
losing argument and up until now the lost argument, much to our
loss. Why would anyone be opposed to the Constitution, and who were
they? A couple of the names of those opponents will be familiar:
George Mason for his namesake university's winning basketball team
and Patrick Henry for saying "Give me liberty or give me death "
But how many people know that these Founders were opposed to the
U.S. Constitution? Does anyone know their reasons for opposing it?
They will after reading this book Included here are some of the
most widely read, most significant, and most famous essays,
speeches, and letters from the opponents of the Constitution at the
time. These writings deserve a much wider audience. They help us
know the intended direction for a federated republican government
and warn us about the risk of a national government growing out of
control. Knowing how we got here requires knowing where we have
been. The U.S. as it stands today would certainly be unrecognizable
to the Founders in 1787 not just because the U.S. today has 78
times as many people as it did then, but because the federal
government probably has much more power than what even the fiercest
nationalist at the time could have imagined. In these pages, you
will get an idea of just how bitterly the Founders fought over
giving power to the new national government. How much more bitterly
would they have fought had they known where we would end up today?
I had heard that the three most important documents in America's
history are the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and
the Federalist Papers. So after reading the first two, I dutifully
grabbed a copy of the Federalist Papers (a free copy downloaded to
my iPhone) and started reading. I got through about the third
paragraph and gave up. This was not reading, after all, it was a
laborious translation process. Those guys 225 years ago sure had a
way with words Fortunately, I came across some versions of the
Federalist Papers that had been rephrased for the 21st century.
Making these pro-Constitution essays much easier to read was a
great idea. But the Federalist Papers only tell one side of the
story. Another very important side to it was completely missing. I
immediately set out to tell that other side. This is their story...
Marking the 225th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution on
September 17, 1787, this book reveals the most influential writings
and speeches of those Founders who spoke out against the new
Constitution of the United States and warned of the big government
that would follow. Find out why George Mason, Patrick Henry, and
many other prominent Founders opposed the U.S. Constitution Here
are their reasons, translated into modern English. This book
includes essays from George Mason, Patrick Henry, Luther Martin,
Elbridge Gerry, Edmund Randolph, Mercy Otis Warren, Melancton
Smith, Richard Henry Lee, Agrippa, Brutus, Cato, Centinel,
Cincinnatus, Federal Farmer, John DeWitt, An Old Whig, and many
more. An Essays RePhrased production. My hope is that I have made
these important works readable, enjoyable, and informative. They
contain valuable lessons that we today should unlock once again for
the good of "We, the People," or as Patrick Henry says in his
speech, "We, the States."
Paulyanna: International Rent-boy is an honest and frank portrayal
of a working-class male prostitute's life. Many factors contribute
in delivering the main character onto the streets. Some very
typical, such as early abandonment, poverty, lack of education and
sexual abuse. But Paul does not dwell too much on the past and
refuses to allow these events to mar his ambition. At eighteen a
lost train ticket leaves him stranded in the city after a job
interview. He uses his questionable wits to make a quick decision
that steers him down a rather dodgy path. Without added glamour or
grit, Paul shares the raw accounts of his life as a rent-boy in the
90s, from London to Los Angeles. It may not have been pretty, and
there was risk and danger as well as fun and thrills, but Paul had
the audacity to succeed in his quest to obtain happiness, security
and wealth. This is not an erotic tale. It is an ordinary account
of day-to-day life as viewed from a unique perspective. A peek into
what really goes on behind the glassy-eyed smile of a male street
worker. Read about his life in this optimistic and fascinating
roadbook adventure.
