""Allah has bought from the Umma-the true believers of Islam-their selves and their substance in return for Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah, killing and being killed. Their promise is written in the blood of the moon."" -From the Koran, chap. 9, v. 112

The conflict between Islam and the West existed long before the destruction of the World Trade Center and the other events that recently touched America. It goes back hundreds, even thousands, of years. Yet the struggle is upon us now as never before. In this well-reasoned, accessible book, Middle East expert George Grant answers the troubling questions on many believers' minds. Who are the followers of Islam, and what do they believe? What could have motivated those who carried out the acts of terror on September 11? Why has there been tension between Islam and the West for centuries? What are the true meanings of terms such as "Ji'had, Intifada," and" Dhimma"? And is there any hope for peace? The call upon believers now-as always-is to prepare and equip ourselves so that we may stand fast. "The Blood of the Moon" will help readers better understand the history of Islam and its struggle with the Western world, as well as how Christians can share the message of salvation through Jesus Christ with the followers of Allah.

Theodore Roosevelt: Hero "Every great nation owes to the men whose lives have formed part of its greatness not merely the material effect of what they did, not merely the laws they placed upon the statute books or the victories they won over armed foes, but also the immense but indefinable moral influence produced by their deeds and words themselves upon the national character." —Theodore Roosevelt, American Ideals Before his fiftieth birthday, Teddy Roosevelt had served as a state legislator in New York, undersecretary of the navy, police commissioner of New York City, governor of New York, and two terms as Vice President and then president of the United States. He also had run a cattle ranch in the Dakota Territories, had worked as a journalist and editor, conducted scientific expeditions o four continents, raised five children, and enjoyed a fulfilling marriage with his wife. No wonder he continues to capture our imaginations as he did the loyalty and respect of his own time. In The Courage and Character of Theodore Roosevelt, George Grant explores the life and character of one of the most remarkable men of the twentieth century. In doing so, he defines the qualities that made Roosevelt such an extraordinary leader, the exploits that made him so famous, and the spiritual values and faith that he affirmed with such vigor as he walked the world stage with an impact generated by few men in his time.

In 1828 the world's greatest storyteller sat down to weave yet another yarn. Over the past dozen or so years, Sir Walter Scott had almost single-handedly revived Scottish pride and of course, his novels had fanned the flames of passion for the kilts, bagpipes, and highland burr of the Scots. He had become the world's spokesman for all things Celtic. But now he had something entirely different in mind. His Tales from a Scottish Grandfather proved to be his most intimate, most accessible, and most dramatic stories of all. The reason was simple: He was no longer telling his stories to the world. He was telling them to his own grandson. Scott was far and away the most popular writer of the nineteenth century. Often mentioned in the same breath with Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton, his output was prodigious: twenty-seven novels, five major works of epic poetry, three biographies, fourteen histories, and half a dozen collections of tales, legends, and ballads. All remain classics to this day. But it was for his popularisation of his native Scotland that he is best remembered. Scott was proud of his work but he was especially proud of the stories in Tales from a Scottish Grandfather. Here he recovered the whole story of his beloved Scotland - its actual history, not a fictionalised approximation. From William Wallace and Robert the Bruce (volume 1) to John Knox and Mary, Queen of Scots (volume 2), from the subjugation of Rob Roy and the rising of the Jacobites (volume 3) to the crusade of Bonnie Prince Charlie and the quest of the Duke of Cumberland (volume 4), the entire romantic tapestry is unrolled, not as a historian would tell it, but as a grandfather would. In these four volumes Scott marshals all his narrative power for the sake of love - love of family, love of place, and love of legacy. At a time when interest in Scotland has never been greater, these volumes are sure to strike a nerve and find a treasured place in schools, libraries, and, most especially, in homes, where they most belong.

Killer Angel: A Short Biography Of Planned Parenthood's Founder, Margaret Sanger

For centuries Christians have puzzled over what role to take in world affairs. Grant claims that this role should be based on the insight of Micah 6:8 -- to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. This guidance provides the balance and foundation for applying the principles of faith and the acts of mercy and compassion.

This volume includes stories of Mary Queen of Scots, John Knox and the heroes of Scotland's reformation. Scott marshals all his narrative power for the sake of love - love of family, place and legacy.

Before his fiftieth birthday, Teddy Roosevelt had served as a State Legislator in New York, Undersecretary of the Navy, Police Commissioner of New York City, Governor of New York and two terms as Vice President and then President of the United States. He also had run a cattle ranch in the West, had worked as a journalist and editor, conducted scientific expeditions on four continents, raised five children and enjoyed a lifelong romance with his wife. No wonder he continues to capture our imagination as he did the loyalty and respect of his own time. In this thought-provoking book, the author explores the life and character of Roosevelt, one of the most remarkable men of the twentieth century. The qualities that made Roosevelt such an extraordinary leader are examined, as are the exploits that made him so famous. Also emphasised are the spiritual values and faith that he affirmed with such vigour, as he walked the world stage with an impact generated by few men in his time.
