The new believer has many important and exciting truths to learn
about a new life in Christ. Each day is filled with new excitements
and challenges. To assist in this wonderful journey toward being
Christlike, the seven principles addressed in this book will help
the new believer start right so he or she can end right. The topics
covered are these: Chapter 1: Be Sure of Christ in Your Life
Chapter 2: Hear from Christ through His Word Chapter 3: Speak to
the Lord through Prayer Chapter 4: Find Edification through a Local
Church Chapter 5: Witness of Salvation through Christ Chapter 6:
Give of Your Means for His Cause Chapter 7: Turn from Wrong to
Right The goal in Christian living is for one to become more like
Christ in thought and action. These practical "principles of new
convert living" will help in that process. The life that will
result from it will be an encouragement to the believer, a delight
to the Lord Himself, and a blessing to the local church. John says,
"For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of
the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. I
have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth" (3
John 1:3). Paul encourages this same progress by saying, "As ye
have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have
been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving" (Colossians
2:6-7).

The profession of peacemaking has been practiced by indigenous
communities around the world for many centuries; however, the
ethnocentric world view of the West, which dominated the world of
ideas for the last five centuries, dismissed indigenous forms of
peacemaking as irrelevant and backward tribal rituals. Neither did
indigenous forms of peacemaking fit the conception of modernization
and development of the new ruling elites who inherited the
postcolonial state. The new profession of Alternative Dispute
Resolution (ADR), which emerged in the West as a new profession
during the 1970s, neglected the tradition and practice of
indigenous forms of peacemaking. The scant literature which has
appeared on this critical subject tends to focus on the ritual
aspect of the indigenous practices of peacemaking. The goal of this
book is to fill this lacuna in scholarship. More specifically, this
work focuses on the process of peacemaking, exploring the major
steps of process of peacemaking which the peacemakers follow in
dislodging antagonists from the stage of hostile confrontation to
peaceful resolution of disputes and eventual reconciliation. The
book commences with a critique of ADR for neglecting indigenous
processes of peacemaking and then utilizes case studies from
different communities around the world to focus on the following
major themes: the basic structure of peacemaking process; change
and continuity in the traditions of peacemaking; the role of
indigenous women in peacemaking; the nature of the tools
peacemakers deploy; common features found in indigenous processes
of peacemaking; and the overarching goals of peacemaking activities
in indigenous communities.
A highly anticipated look at the life and work of one of
turn-of-the-century America's most creative and influential
furniture designers Charles Rohlfs (1853-1936) ranked among the
most innovative furniture makers at the turn of the twentieth
century. Praised by the international press and exhibited
throughout the United States and Europe, his beautiful works grew
out of an interesting mix of styles that included Arts and Crafts,
Art Nouveau, and proto-modernism. This book presents the first
major study of this important American designer and craftsman,
drawing upon new photographs and fresh sources of information.
Alongside traditional historical approaches, the book presents
detailed formal, structural, and stylistic analyses of Rohlfs's
well-known masterpieces from major museums, together with
lesser-known objects in public and private collections. Topics
include discovering the contribution of Rohlfs's wife-mystery
novelist Anna Katharine Green-to his designs; the far-ranging
sources of his idiosyncratic motifs; his influence on Gustav
Stickley's designs; his commissioned interiors; his efforts at
self-promotion and marketing; and his attempts to define a
conceptual framework for his artistic endeavor. Handsomely designed
and illustrated, the book also features a complete set of
unpublished period illustrations of over seventy works. Published
