Belief in the symbolic and lucky properties of numbers is
deep-rooted in Chinese culture, particularly the number 5, as seen
in the Five Elements, the Five Colors, the Five Tastes and the Five
Cardinal Virtues. These beliefs pre-date Buddhism, Taoism and
Confucianism, and in this illustrated book which combines travel,
history, myth and mysticism, Geil uses the symbolism of the number
5 to unravel the early history of one of China's most famous sites
-- Tai Shan, the sacred mountain of China -- allowing us to
understand why it is so important to the Chinese.
The Gospel Coaltion Award of Distinction-Arts and Culture ECPA Top
Shelf Award Winner For practitioners and fans, jazz expresses the
deepest meanings of life. Its rich history and its distinctive
elements like improvisation and syncopation unite to create an
unrepeatable and inexpressible aesthetic experience. But for
others, jazz is an enigma. Might jazz be better appreciated and
understood in relation to the Christian faith? In this volume,
theologian and jazz pianist William Edgar argues that the music of
jazz cannot be properly understood apart from the Christian gospel,
which like jazz moves from deep lament to inextinguishable joy. By
tracing the development of jazz, placing it within the context of
the African American experience, and exploring the work of jazz
musicians like Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Ella
Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong, Edgar argues that jazz deeply
resonates with the hope that is ultimately found in the good news
of Jesus Christ. Grab a table. The show is about to begin.

The definitive history of one of Porsche's most beloved and
competitive racing champions. Forty Six tells the unlikely underdog
story of the car that scored Porsche's first racing victories and
helped establish their commercial success: the 356/2 063. Beginning
at the company's post-World War II nadir, Bill Wagenblatt
illuminates how Porsche rose from the ashes to overcome multiple
trials and near-disasters to compete with this vehicle at Le Mans,
the Liege-Rome-Liege Rally, and Montlhéry, where they set new
racing records in the 1950s. Wagenblatt follows the tale into the
twenty-first century, making clear how the 356/2 063 helped set
Porsche Motorsport on its way to becoming the juggernaut that we
know today. Including a wealth of archival photos and documents
that have never been before published, along with a unique look at
the car's US history, Forty Six is the definitive history of one of
Porsche's most beloved and competitive racing champions.

This introduction to Reformed apologetics explores foundational
principles and offers practical guidance for talking with
unbelievers.
It can be difficult to ask questions, far less answer them. Perhaps
you've felt that sometimes the questions you really want to ask
just can't be answered. They're too difficult; too embarrassing;
and perhaps you shouldn't be asking them anyway. William Edgar
takes a selection of twenty-four questions just like that -
questions that are asked by young adults just like you - and gives
a biblical, common sense, unpatronising answer to each. Edgar
tackles issues such as 'Where is God?' 'Can we trust the Bible?'
'What about love and sex?' 'Does God love gay people?' 'When will
the World end?' 'Are there vampires?' 'Can I have real friends?'
