The Biblical Metanarrative traces the storyline of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. It is the triumphant story of God ruling as king over his realm. He does so for his own glory in an all-out war with Satan and his rival kingdom of evil. The key to God's ultimate victory is the incarnation of his Son, his life as the perfect human, his atoning death, and his resurrection, as the first fruits of those who will receive new bodies fit for life in the new Creation. Jesus' followers are currently living out Christ's commission to them to give every ethnic group the opportunity to repent and receive the holy and empowered life of the Spirit of God. This presentation's uniqueness is its selection of the stories that drive the narrative forward and the uncovering of the divine logic that connects those stories to make a sweeping whole, showing One God, One Plan, and One Story.

This study guide was designed with a two-fold purpose in mind. We wanted to have some material to place in the hands of those newly converted to Christ with the work so designed that the babe in Christ could quickly appreciate both the steps he has taken and the cause in which he's now involved. We have so written this booklet that we hope many of the questions he might have are very readily answered. But there is a second use envisioned for this booklet. Some of the very information needed by the babe in Christ happens also to be the material those out of Christ must have if they are to ever obey the Gospel. Therefore, we hope the matters contained herein will be such that many saints will use it in their visitation and personal evangelism work. For those readers who have just recently obeyed the Gospel, we hope you can readily grasp the points made, and that the entire study process will speed your growth in Christ.

The Eden Project provides a guide for the purpose of seeing God's single plan of creation and redemption in the Bible. It is designed and written for pastors and laity, and arises out of Jackson's many years of teaching and re-teaching this story. Standing behind this study is solid scholarship that validates and authenticates the author's approach to Scripture. In our fragmented world, this book will give the serious reader an integrated picture of the God of Scripture and the human family he created and saved through his Son, Jesus Christ.

During that wonderful golden age of local children's television, many talented people pooled their skills to enthrall and edify the impressionable, appreciative viewers. Yet with no disrespect intended toward any of the others, one person stood out in his ability to spin gold out of straw: Bill Jackson.
Bill's legion of fans still cherish his amazing adventures with the memorable puppet characters that sprung from his fertile imagination on programs such as Cartoon Town, The BJ and Dirty Dragon Show, and Gigglesnort Hotel. These programs remain as fresh and entertaining today as they did when they were first broadcast, and belie their meager budgets and restrictive production schedules, thanks to Bill's artistic integrity and his coterie of hard-working crew members.
Now, Bill steps out from behind his familiar TV persona to reveal a poignant personal journey filled with struggles, heartaches, and triumphs. "The Only Kid on the Carniva"l chronicles the indomitable spirit of a young man who became one of television's most creative and gifted talents, and does so in a boldly engaging manner that touches the heart and the soul.
As always, Bill Jackson does not disappoint his audience.

The field of social accounting and social responsibility of business has grown considerably in recent years in both the educational and professional context and has taken on an interdisciplinary aspect.
