Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Why do you believe what you believe? Do you base it on your own
opinions, other people's opinions, popular culture, scholars, the
media? Or do you base your beliefs on the Bible, and the Bible
only? God's inspired Word has stood the test of time, and it is the
only solid foundation that we have to base our beliefs on.
Thirty-Five Reasons Why I Keep the Bible Sabbath relies on the Word
of God to clearly document why the seventh-day Sabbath of the Bible
is, was, and will remain the true Sabbath. With clarity and sound
conclusions, the author outlines thirty-five biblical reasons why
he keeps the Sabbath, and why all Christians should return to their
biblical roots. This book is an excellent resource for personal
study. It is also a wonderful book for sharing with others or using
as a basis for Bible studies.
"There are whole lifetimes in these magical stories, laced with
secrets and surprises and dreams and disappointments and humor.
Like Gish's characters, most of us seek our salvation mostly in the
wrong places, sometimes stumbling upon truth where we should have
looked for it first -- in our hearts and in the search itself. Read
these stories. They will help you find your way". (Tom Auer,
Publisher, The Bloomsbury Review)
"Dreams of Quivira is written with honesty and a load of talent.
There is a depth of characters here that we seldom find in short
stories. Each story rings with haunting truth, some pain, and a
redeeming message. A welcome addition of Gish's work". (Review:
Rudolfo Anaya)
Robert Gish's eight stories of the old and new West speak of the
search for a region of the mind and heart, as much as for the
places in which his characters act out their personal dramas. For
some the West remains a place of renewal and hope, like Coronado's
Quivira, promising escape from wrong starts and thwarted desires
and offering the possibility of transformation. For others it is
the graveyard of expectations, where harsh truths and unwelcome
realities must be faced.
Two stories deal with the transformations and disappointments of
young men caught between their own needs for adventure and the
demands of their families and communities. "The Quick and the Dead"
tells of a first close encounter with death and spiritual
transcendence. "Seeing the Elephant" is an exuberant coming-of-age
story that explores the interplay between Hispanic and Anglo
culture, between the masculine and the feminine, between innocence
and experience. Other stories look into darker regions of the human
heart. Writtenin a lyrical yet earthy style that reflects the
dreams and ideals of his characters, Gish's stories probe the
mysteries at the heart of human relationships.
The burgeoning terrain of Martin Luther King Jr. studies is leading
to a new appreciation of his thought and its meaningfulness for the
emergence and shaping of the twenty-first-century world. This
volume brings together an impressive array of scholars from various
backgrounds and disciplines to explore the global significance of
King-then, now, and in the future. Employing King's metaphor of
"the great world house," the major focus is on King's appraisal of
the global-human struggle in the 1950s and 1960s, his relevance for
today's world, and how future generations might constructively
apply or appropriate his key ideas and values in addressing racism,
poverty and economic injustice, militarism, sexism, homophobia, the
environmental crisis, globalization, and other challenges
confronting humanity today. The contributors treat King in context
and beyond context, taking seriously the historical King while also
exploring how his name, activities, contributions, and legacy are
still associated with a globalized rights culture.
