As the Bird Sings is a collection of inspirational poems that will
cause you to reflect, tug at your heartstrings, and ultimately
touch your soul. In it, the author addresses the experiences of
life that we all share--our feelings, our goals and dreams, our
fears of illness and aging--and with her poetry manages to instill
in us a fresh perspective and a renewed hope. Lovers of traditional
rhyming verse will appreciate the almost musical cadence that the
author, a former dancer and choreographer, injects into this
collection of poetry. It is verse that will entice the reader to
reread it often and commit to memory many of its passages. In the
tradition of classical poetry, it delves into our innermost being,
lays bare our concerns about life and living, and encourages the
best that's within us.
"This collection of essays explores the broad range of influences

The ESV Church History Study Bible is designed to help believers in
all seasons of life understand the Bible-featuring 20,000 study
notes from church history's most prominent figures.
The antebellum southern Baptist churches were led, in general, by populists who addressed their appeals to the common person and allowed women and slaves to vote on membership matters. Paradoxically, at the same time, no denomination could wield the religious authority as ruthlessly as the Baptists - between 1785 and 1860 they ritually excommunicated forty to fifty thousand church members in Georgia alone. Wills traces this split to two rival strains in the Baptist church - moderates who emphasized personal religious freedom and tolerance, and fundamentalists who preached discipline and the inerrancy of scripture. He demonstrates how a denomination of freedom-loving individuals came to embrace exclusionist spirituality, and how the results of that conflict continue to affect the church.
Wills' Mineral Processing Technology: An Introduction to the
Practical Aspects of Ore Treatment and Mineral Recovery has been
the definitive reference for the mineral processing industry for
over thirty years. This industry standard reference provides
practicing engineers and students of mineral processing,
metallurgy, and mining with practical information on all the common
techniques used in modern processing installations. Each chapter is
dedicated to a major processing procedure-from underlying
principles and technologies to the latest developments in
strategies and equipment for processing increasingly complex
refractory ores. The eighth edition of this classic reference
enhances coverage of practical applications via the inclusion of
new material focused on meeting the pressing demand for ever
greater operational efficiency, while addressing the pivotal
challenges of waste disposal and environmental remediation.
Advances in automated mineralogy and analysis and high-pressure
grinding rolls are given dedicated coverage. The new edition also
contains more detailed discussions of comminution efficiency,
classification, modeling, flocculation, reagents, liquid-solid
separations, and beneficiation of phosphate, and industrial
materials. Finally, the addition of new examples and solved
problems further facilitates the book's pedagogical role in the
classroom.
With 16.3 million members and 44,000 churches, the Southern Baptist
Convention is the largest Baptist group in the world, and the
largest Protestant denomination in the United States. Unlike the
so-called mainstream Protestant denominations, Southern Baptists
have remained stubbornly conservative, refusing to adapt their
beliefs and practices to modernity's individualist and populist
values. Instead, they have held fast to traditional orthodoxy in
such fundamental areas as biblical inspiration, creation,
conversion, and miracles. Gregory Wills argues that Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary has played a fundamental role in the
persistence of conservatism, not entirely intentionally. Tracing
the history of the seminary from the beginning to the present,
Wills shows how its foundational commitment to preserving orthodoxy
was implanted in denominational memory in ways that strengthened
the denomination's conservatism and limited the seminary's ability
to stray from it. In a set of circumstances in which the seminary
played a central part, Southern Baptists' populist values bolstered
traditional orthodoxy rather than diminishing it. In the end, says
Wills, their populism privileged orthodoxy over individualism. The
story of Southern Seminary is fundamental to understanding Southern
Baptist controversy and identity. Wills's study sheds important new
light on the denomination that has played - and continues to play -
such a central role in our national history.
Democracy has not always fostered anti-authoritarian individualism.
No American denomination identified itself more closely with the
nation's democratic ideal than the Baptists. Most antebellum
southern Baptist churches allowed women and slaves to vote on
membership matters and preferred populist preachers who addressed
their appeals to the common person. Paradoxically, no denomination
wielded religious authority as zealously as the Baptists. Between
1785 and 1860 they ritually (and democratically) excommunicated
forty to fifty thousand church members in Georgia alone. Wills
demonstrates how a denomination of freedom-loving individualists
came to embrace an exclusivist spirituality - a spirituality that
continues to shape Southern Baptist churches in contemporary
conflicts between moderates who urge tolerance and conservatives
who require belief in scriptural inerrancy. Wills's analysis
advances our understanding of the interaction between democracy and
religious authority, and will appeal to scholars of American
religion, culture, and history, as well as to Baptist observers.

Change is not something we master, but we can learn to work with
change to understand its meaning in our life and to awaken to our
true self. In Awakening in Change Merl Will-Wallace provides a
detailed guide to working with change to find meaning and purpose
in what change is trying to teach us. He provides a tool kit for
inquiring into the deeper messages that change brings to the
present moment so that we may see clearly the path forward that our
Soul seeks to take us. Change can then be seen as a way to discover
our true nature of being and a catalyst for our personal evolution
and awakening. All change can then be seen as a blessing, even if
it is difficult and disruptive to our lives. Awakening in Change is
divided into three sections. The first section details the key
tools that assist us in working with change. The second section
discusses the change process and the importance of making sure we
work through the three stages of change. The third section provides
many examples on how change has affected the lives of many
individuals, as well as the author. Throughout the book Mr.
Will-Wallace presents a variety of real-life case studies that
bring to life how you can recognize and work with change
professionally, personally and spiritually. This book is a must for
these rapidly changing times.
