Pentecostal forms of Christianity have now taken a dynamic role in
contemporary Christianity, often at the vanguard of new movements
and spiritual vitality among Christians in the late modern world.
The many movements which constitute global Pentecostalism share in
common an intense commitment to the Bible and life in the Spirit.
Over the past several decades, Pentecostal biblical scholarship has
played an important role in resourcing Pentecostal theologies.
These elements come together in this volume in which leading
Pentecostal biblical scholars from around the world account for the
appearance of the divine Spirit, putting forth a defining work from
a seminal generation of scholars. Contributors are: J. Ayodeji

Ocular emergencies can present major problems for vets. Signs can
be dramatic, manifesting as apparent instant blindness, severe
trauma from fights or road accidents, or the acute discoloration of
the white of the eye to red or blue. The vet needs to identify
quickly what the problem is so that the immediate palliative
measures are appropriate and do not make matters worse. A major
feature of this book is its unique problem-oriented approach, not
used in the standard ophthalmology texts. This is complemented by a
section arranged on a more anatomical basis, with appropriate
cross-referencing, so that access to the right section is made as
easy (and quick!) as possible. The book emphasises differential
diagnoses and treatment options, showing clearly wherethe case
needs referral to a specialist for resolution. Extra material on
background pathogenesis and treatment rationale is provided in
boxes. The material needed for the actual emergency will be made
readily accessible, using bullet points and easy-to-follow line
diagrams. David Williams is based in the UK. He has recently
completed a PhD and is building on an international reputation in
both ophthalmology and exotic medicine. His US co-author, Kathie
Barrie, is current President of the American College of Veterinary
Ophthalmology and a practising vet; she has ensured that the text
is of equal relevance to US practice. Written at an appropriate
level for the non-specialist veterinarian, making it a practical
guide for managing small animal ophthalmic emergencies. Provides
instant access to the correct diagnosis and management of ocular
emergencies with clear, easy-to-use diagnostic flowcharts.
Highlights key information and important issues in tinted boxes
throughout the text, making clinical facts accessible to busy
practitioners.
Stranger Than Fiction: The Lincoln Curse is a revised edition
consisting of 50 stories that prove, in the words of Mark Twain,
sometimes truth can be stranger than fiction. According to Southern
lore, a dying Confederate, versed in the dark arts, placed a curse
on the Lincoln family and the Federal government. Soon afterwards,
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated and calamity befell everyone who
assisted or abetted the Lincoln family. In the next 98 years three
more American presidents were assassinated. Each time an American
president has been murdered, he was in the company of a member of
the Lincoln family. Mary Lincoln was with her husband the night he
was shot. Robert Lincoln, the president's oldest son, was with his
father when he died the next morning. Robert Lincoln was in the
company of President Garfield when he was gunned down 16 years
later. The same Robert Lincoln was in the company of President
McKinley when he was felled by an assassin's bullet in 1901. Evelyn
Lincoln, personal secretary of President Kennedy, was near the
president when he was slain in 1963. Curse or coincidence? Either
way it proves truth can be stranger than fiction. Read about how
medical bungling killed President Washington who was accidentally
bled to death and marvel at the antiquated medical procedures that
prompted one doctor to propose resurrecting Washington shortly
after he died. Read how President Garfield died as a result of
medical bungling. Why did a Japanese soldier go on fighting World
War II for 29 years after it had ended? Examine the photo of
Abraham Lincoln's ghost taken by a spirit photographer and decide
for yourself is it authentic or a hoax? Muse at the antics of love
starved sailors who almost took their ship apart and attempted to
set sail in the dilapidated vessel to gain the affections of
several island women. Read about the origins of the custom of
awarding presidential pardons to turkeys. Read about the deadly
wolf peach and how it became a part of the American diet. You'll be
intrigued by the bizarre deaths of several prominent people
including a well-known detective who died from biting his tongue.
Learn of General Custer's lost treasure and of the American
president who once gave a press conference in the nude. Who was the
queen whose corpse was given a coronation after she died? Why was
an elephant publicly executed in Tennessee? Read about the wayward
outlaw who was given the nickname "The stupidest outlaw in the
west." Read about the outlaw who started a movie career that
spanned several decades after he was shot to death. You'll be
mystified at Mark Twain's premonition of his brother's death--one
that came eerily true. Imagine how you would feel if you woke up
one morning and read your own obituary in the paper. It happened to
Mark Twain. These and many other stories will leave the reader
convinced that perhaps Twain was right when he said "truth is
stranger than fiction." Michael Williams has written a children's
book entitled "Great Kids in History." The book has received rave
reviews from readers. The book is a collection of 22 true stories
of amazing children that have accomplished incredible feats. Your
child will be inspired by the stories of courage and adventure of
these amazing kids. For more information visit the web site
