When World War I began in August 1914, a number of young Americans volunteered for service with either the Foreign Legion or one of the ambulance services. A number of them entered French Aviation. An even smaller number formed Nieuport 124, a squadron of American pilots commanded by French officers, the famous Lafayette Escadrille. This is the beginning of their story... "Bottom line...this is a great book and I'd like to share it with the Air Force's top leadership." General T. Michael Moseley, Chief of Staff of the Air Force. July 24, 2006.

Do you struggle to provide enjoyable, meaningful and spiritual times of family devotions? Do you avoid the whole subject but have the nagging thought that you should be doing something?Let Terry & Family Worship equip you for leading your family in worship with the help of some key questions: What is family worship? What have other people done? Why Should I do it? How can I start? A Valuable resource which you will not exhaust in years.

An enriching companion to Terry L. Johnson's popular Family Worship Book The practice of family worship has been a foundation stone of faith for many families across many generations. In his book The Family Worship Book, Terry L. Johnson aided families to have meaningful times of devotion together. In this supplement to The Family Worship Book Terry L. Johnson seeks to strengthen, clarify and enrich those devotions. He begins by looking at the godly home, which provides the vital context in which family worship occurs. Then the biblical and theological arguments for daily family worship in are examined drawing from the Old and New Testaments as well as the classic authors. Once the case for family worship has been made, Johnson then moves on to develop the elements or practices of which family worship consists, as well as helpful tips for establishing the discipline practice of family worship. Finally, he discusses catechizing. Together, this monogram provides a feast of classic Reformed insight.

Terry Johnson stresses that the Beatitudes are Jesus' handbook to living a fuller life. This better, more contented and satisfying life is only for the people who believe in him, because, as Terry demonstrates, the Sermon on the Mount was preached to the disciples and not to the general population. This blows a horrible hole in the theories of those who try to take this collection of Jesus' teachings as a guide to more harmonious living outside the church. God's blessings here are on his people in a special way, not on the population as a whole. To this end Terry doesn't allow for the word 'blessed' to be translated 'happy', as it trivialises some very serious points Jesus makes. He explains the beatitudes, showing both what they don't mean and opening up what they do. His conclusions are strong, challenging and immensely practical. You will be engaged in the impact of Jesus' words as you never have before.

How does 'Calvinism' affect the way you view worship, humility, adversity, outlook, evangelism, holiness, assurance, law & liberty, prayer, guidance & living faith. Most of the major 'Protestant' church groupings of today look back to founders who were essentially 'Calvinistic' in their beliefs. Yet Calvinism is not a set of dry and dusty doctrines that elevate a man above the work of God. It is a set of doctrines that existed before and after the reformer explained them so clearly. C.H. Spurgeon said "It is a nickname....Calvinism is the Gospel and nothing else." Despite its widespread influence there is little understanding of the tradition or its practical importance. In fact, there are more misconceptions than there is understanding just what difference does Calvinism really make? Terry Johnson has personally been touched by the practical implications of Calvinism and recommends others to drink satisfyingly from the same spiritual wells. He believes that the church is not receiving the nourishment it needs from God or the freedom it could have, to serve God.

To realize quality microgravity science on the International Space Station, many microgravity facilities will utilize the Active Rack Isolation System (ARIS). Simulation capabilities for ARIS will be needed to predict the microgravity environment. This paper discusses the development of a simulation model for use in predicting the performance of the ARIS in attenuating disturbances with frequency content between 0.01 Hz and 10 Hz. The derivation of the model utilizes an energy-based approach. The complete simulation includes the dynamic model of the ISPR integrated with the model for the ARIS controller so that the entire closed-loop system is simulated. Preliminary performance predictions are made for the ARIS in attenuating both off-board disturbances as well as disturbances from hardware mounted onboard the microgravity facility. These predictions suggest that the ARIS does eliminate resonant behavior detrimental to microgravity experimentation. A limited comparison is made between the simulation predictions of ARIS attenuation of off-board disturbances and results from the ARIS flight test. These comparisons show promise, but further tuning of the simulation is needed.

Reformed Worship: Worship That Is According to Scripture is a clear and cogent biblical case for worshiping the Triune God. A primary focus of the book is as an initial primer on Scripture's teaching on worship. Yet, it is by no means only "introductory." Terry Johnson opens with a section on "Getting Oriented"--diving into such pressing questions as what is public vs. private worship, how do they relate?; what do we mean by worship, is it in the broad everyday sense, or is it more particular and focused?; and what is permissible vs. what is proper in worship? The heart of the book is Johnson's exposition of what it means to worship "in spirit" and "in truth." "In truth" pertains to worship that is according to Scripture and worship that is actually and really filled with Scripture. To worship "in spirit" is be participate in worship from the heart, which is affectionate, simple, reverent, and biblically wise. Johnson closes with great suggestions for further reading and study. Johnson's understanding of worship presents itself as a product of exegesis and not merely a proof-texting of presuppositions. His explanation of the biblical passages and ideas that pertain to worship are excellent, easy to understand, and very pastoral. The audience for this books is everyone from the pastor who really wants to understand what biblical worship looks like, to the congregant who wants to properly worship God, to the believer in Christ who wants good guidance on communing with his Savior, and for the family who desires to truly and reverently participate in family worship.
