In "Socialist Thought" Fried and Sanders set socialism within its historical context from pre-revolutionary France to the present by using major turning points such as 1789, when the French Revolution launched socialism, to establish a chronological framework. The authors contend that though its roots can be traced to the Bible, socialism truly came into being at the end of the 18th century, the age of democratic ideas, as a response to the Industrial Revolution and an attempt to change the consciousness of society and its material organization. The readings, emphasizing utopian socialists and Marx, demonstrate that socialist aspirations throughout history have been as varied as the individuals expressing them. Over the past three centuries, socialists have embraced both anti-authoritarianism and totalitarianism, class struggle and co-operation, revolution and democracy.

I was saved and Holy Ghost filled at age 5 in a Jacksonville, Florida Church of God. God then called me into a healing ministry. As a child, I prayed for my mother dying from a ruptured artery in her left temple in an automobile accident. God so graciously stopped the bleeding and spared her life. South Rocky Mount Church of God, age of 13 got me involved in the witnessing program, and at age 16, I was asked to teach Sunday School to the senior shut-ins. In 1980, I began to preach the gospel. I am a result of the impartation of Apostle Ann Baines, of Rocky Mount, NC and Apostle Wallace (Sonny) Heflin Jr. of Calvary Pentecostal Campground in Ashland Virginia. I have been killed twice (broken neck, bullet piercing through my skull), and died two other times. When we understand that our steps are ordered of the Lord, because "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper." In 2007, my wife Lyn "Babylove" Sanders and I founded Faith Builders International Conference. We are also an active part of Cross Country World Missions. Never in my wildest imagination could I have dreamed of being where we are in ministry, preaching, teaching, praying for the sick and writing books with the honor of teaching and training ministers. "Deep calleth unto deep." Come to know God with an intimacy that explains what Satan's purpose is and why God had mercy on him through "The Power of Choice." "There is a Second Chance" at the White Throne Judgment, hell today may not be hell for eternity. Should the walk of faith be easy, if so, "Teach Me Faith?" Can I accidentally commit "Blasphemy the Holy Ghost?" The answer may surprise you. Your Servant in Christ Jesus, Dr. Ronald Sanders PhD

Not just another Holocaust story, Storming the Tulips is an intimate encounter with history, as told by twenty former students of the 1st Montessori School in Amsterdam. They were children-contemporaries of Anne Frank-and this book is a companion to The Diary of Anne Frank. While Anne's story describes her sequestered life in the Annex, Storming the Tulips reveals what children on the outside endured-in the streets, in hiding, and in the concentration camps. Their friends disappeared. Their parents sent them away. They were herded on trains and sent to death camps. They joined the Nazi youth. They hid Jews. They lost their families. They picked the pockets of the dead. They escaped. They dodged bullets. They lived in terror. They starved. They froze. They ate tulip bulbs. They witnessed a massacre. They collected shrapnel. And finally, they welcomed the Liberation. Some lost their families, most lost their homes, but they all lost their innocence as they fought to survive in a world gone mad-the only world that they knew.

Nearly five centuries after the first wave of Catholic missionaries arrived in the New World to spread their Christian message, contemporary religious workers in the Bolivian highlands have begun to encourage Aymara Indians to return to traditional ritual practices. All but eradicated after hundreds of years of missionization, the "old ways" are now viewed as local cultural expressions of Christian values. In order to become more Christian, the Aymara must now become more Indian. This groundbreaking study of the contemporary encounter between Catholic missionaries and Aymara Indians is the first ethnography to focus both on the evangelizers and the evangelized. Andrew Orta explores the pastoral shift away from liberation theology that dominated Latin American missionization up until the mid-1980s to the recent "theology of inculturation," which upholds the beliefs and practices of a supposedly pristine Aymara culture as indigenous expressions of a more universal Christianity. Addressing essential questions in cultural anthropology, religious studies, postcolonial studies, and globalization studies, Catechizing Culture is a sophisticated documentation of the widespread shift from the politics of class to the politics of ethnicity and multiculturalism.
