Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - TAWNY KINGS IN LIMBO In the twilight and the twittering dawn My life goes flitting like a spotted fawn. A scent of something stalks the tall, dry grass- The fragrance of the rain-I come; I pass. Acacia thorn and zigzag lightning rend And scratch their whistling way into the wind. Ant-castles silhouette the fire-swept plains Where tawny kings in limbo shake their manes. The clouds collapse; musk mixes with the breeze. Birds dart into the hard-knot of the trees. A vulture's wing is passed across the sun. Blood stirs to surly muscle on the run. The lion scans the landscape as it lies, His dignity indifferent to the flies.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Emotional Trendz is a lifetime of uncertainty. Romeo Weeping. A tuff gruff style exemplifies a courageous man with the gifted mission. Romeo Weeping lives in the transition of everyday life. He is no more capable of controlling his emotion than he is driven to write. The following represent a lifetime of a thousand of literary pieces he has composed, it is here you will only begin to understand the why to Romeo Weeping. I would venture to guess that as much as we feel we understand this man, we are so very wrong. He writes not because he needs to, he writes to survive the turbulent world in which he attempts to understand. I'm not sure after meeting him and editing his work that I understand more than the simple fact that he is compelled to appreciate what little he has controlled of. In his own way he understands better than most of us, and shares this with an honesty some people would just refuse to accept. I hope that he writes forever. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Chiefdom: the Women's World introduces a method of viewingand understanding art. For centuries, artists have reliedon nature and tradition as their great sources of inspiration.Irregular wooden boards in their natural state are sculpturingresources that are worthy of adoration and adoption. Natureproduces the images of Chiefdom on surfaces of woodenboards and by so doing, establishes the system of chiefdom.The concept upon which these aesthetics and appreciationswere figured out was based on the philosophy of truth whichpresents the materials, their sources and physical appearancesas the basis of these sculptures.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Most Christians are not aware that their faith has been favored with not just one work of Scripture, the Bible, but with two - a second one, The Urantia Book, was published in modern English in 1955, and it runs to 2,100 pages. It is what we here refer to as a pandect, meaning a comprehensivetreatise of scholarly probity and as such it is generally accepted in its entirety as coherent and valid. Since 1955 this tome sold about a million copies, in some fifteen countries, in twenty lang-uages. And that in spite of its being quite heavy reading. It took about twenty years to go from com-position to publication, and very few people, after spending some time with it, doubt its being authentic revelation. It is consistent, coherent, beyond scientific challenge; and its tone is impeccably religious.Our purpose in this book is to help people in general to understand and benefit from that one. MayJesus and his helpers be with you in our joint enterprise. N.P. Snoek. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Faith Is a Way of Life is a basic blueprint for living in the Kingdom of God. From the moment you receive Jesus as Lord and are born of His Spirit, it is essential to have a clear understanding of the significance of this decision. It is equally imperative to be aware of the major shift that occurs in your life spiritually because of the intrinsic repercussions. Otherwise, your life is filled with confusion and disappointment that God has nothing to do with, although He is the one who is mistakenly held responsible. With this broadened awareness, you experience a new dimension of perception. Then is when you realize a lifestyle change is evolving within you-from the former way you lived in the world to the new way of life in the Kingdom. You step into and encounter a culture change. And with any culture change, there are principles to learn and precepts to incorporate which bring an entirely new purpose for living. Faith Is a Way of Life describes and explains clearly what these changes are, the rationale for these changes, and the necessity to incorporate them as a regular way of life. In God's Kingdom, we have a God who loves us, cares for us, and wants to be our God, but who has rather high expectations for us because we are His and He knows the potential of our purpose. Plus, He wants us to know how to live with Him, because He plans for us to be with Him eternally.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A self-described hillbilly from western Oklahoma, Lance Compton is one of God's unlikely servants whose life illustrates that Jesus Christ did not cease to transform the wayward into His ambassadors on the Damascus Road. After a devastating diagnosis with cancer in the seventh grade, Lance was miraculously and spontaneously healed by God's gracious hand. This event gave him an unquenchable desire for a deeper knowledge and fuller understanding of his Creator, and he immediately embarked upon an unorthodox journey toward that end. Lance's peregrination of faith has brought him into fellowship and friendship with some of the country's most influential people, allowed him to see the halls of power, reserved a seat for him at the table of one of the world's largest Christian ministries, anointed him a zealous caretaker of society's discards, asked him to prevent a heinous murder, shown him the extent to which God's grace abounds, bestowed upon him the grandest of purposes, and led him to the greatest treasure of all-intimate knowledge of the Truth. You will want to walk alongside Lance as he recounts his journey upon the narrow way and learns from station to station how secure is that foundation upon which the structure of a full life stands, how careful is the Potter whose hands labor diligently to bring forth perfection, how priceless is the mosaic that reflects the light of its Maker, and how beautiful are the feet that abide in the dust for good news' sake. Come and see.…
