Few Americans see the US presidents and the presidency outside of a sentimental idealism. Amaury de Riencourt, an author of more than eight books who lectured extensively in the US in the 1950s, pulls out all the stops to reveal the essence of the U.S. Presidency in this volume. Originally published in 1957, The Coming Caesars, was well-received being featured in publications like Foreign Affairs, The New Yorker and Harper's magazine. Now, with a new Introduction, a private letter to the author from a high Pakistani official from 2002, new endorsements, additional quotes and a new typeset design; a new generation can gain a better understand what is happening in the United States than is being told them. Caesarism in the presidency is much more of a threat today than ever before. This book will show why.

To Preach or Not to Preach? questions one of the scared cows in the modern church, namely the sermon, and the preeminence it s given. Norrington s premise is not built on novelty or questioning just to question. He goes back to the New Testament and shows that there is no evidence for a a regular weekly sermon that believers are to lean upon, and the whole church experience is to be wrapped around. This book also shows how the sermon as it has come to be practiced supplants the one-another ministries of everyday believers, and stifles the expression of Christ in the ekklesia. To Preach was originally published in Britain by Paternoster Press in 1996.It had virtually no circulation in the States. Norrington died in 2007, and his book nearly passed into oblivion. However, several supporters banded together to reoffer this work. And with it, a large additional section was added where Norrington responds to reviews of his book. To Preach is a well-documented study that will challenge traditional ideas, restore hope and function in the body of Christ, and help us understand that "preaching" in the NT was primarily a vital evangelistic activity directed toward unbelievers.

From the Publisher: In this systematic study, author Timothy L. Price examines two of the most explosive subjects in conversation: religion and politics. Addressed mainly to religious conservatives, this book asks as many questions to the ?Religious-Right? about their approach. This work exposes hypocrisy and ignorance that are part and parcel with accepting the religious conservative bandwagon as a legitimate way of expressing Christ to a non-believing society. The author is detailed in exposing the fallacy of using politics to do the church's work. This book is about redirecting the energy of the ?Religious-Right, ? from being aggressive and self-righteous, to becoming more like Christ. If culture change is what the religious conservatives want, why are they so afraid to change themselves? Why do they assume that culture change should be in their direction? And why are they vehemently opposed any person of faith that would credibly question their sense rightness? Get this book and discover why.
