After his defeat a prophecy was set into motion that would bring about Judgment Day.Now ten years later the world stands on the edge of destruction as Lucifer the Fallen Archangel returns to Earth. Feeling that the human race can no longer grow, trapped by its own short comings, he believes that the only course of action left is to declare war on Heaven again, this time from the face of the Earth with mankind as his soldiers.Chaz once again finds himself thrust into a war between Heaven and Hell, only this time he must face the Devil both within as well as the one who now walks freely among us.Can the world truly fall to the hands of a fancy suit, a firm handshake, empty promises and a million dollar smile? Lucifer thinks so, and he's betting your soul that he's right.

Keith Thomas's earlier studies in the ethnography of early modern England, Religion and the Decline of Magic, Man and the Natural World, and The Ends of Life, were all attempts to explore beliefs, values, and social practices in the centuries from 1500 to 1800. In Pursuit of Civility continues this quest by examining what English people thought it meant to be "civilized" and how that condition differed from being "barbarous" or "savage." Thomas shows that the upper ranks of society sought to distinguish themselves from their social inferiors by distinctive ways of moving, speaking, and comporting themselves, and that the common people developed their own form of civility. The belief of the English in their superior civility shaped their relations with the Welsh, the Scots, and the Irish, and was fundamental to their dealings with the native peoples of North America, India, and Australia. Yet not everyone shared this belief in the superiority of Western civilization; the book sheds light on the origins of both anticolonialism and cultural relativism. Thomas has written an accessible history based on wide reading, abounding in fresh insights, and illustrated by many striking quotations and anecdotes from contemporary sources.

Most people all over the world, acknowledge that Jesus was the greatest teacher who ever lived, but have you ever explored, in detail, what He actually taught?Join Bible teacher, Keith Thomas, as He walks you through the life of Jesus, explaining and studying His words, verse by verse, in order to apply Jesus' teaching to your life. The words of Jesus are life transforming and you will find that as you study Luke's Gospel in-depth, that the Holy Spirit will transform your life. The goal of this study is "e;to know Jesus Christ more clearly, to love Him more dearly and to follow Him more nearly"e; (Richard Chichester). Luke, a physician by trade, offers us a rich and detailed account of the ministry of the Son of God. It does not matter how long you have been a follower of Christ; you will fall in love with Him all over again!

Like soldiers walking into a minefield, there are some things in life that are unseen but deadly. Just because you may be unaware of something dangerous, it doesn't mean it cannot affect you. There is an old saying "e;what you don't know can't hurt you."e; Although it is true that knowledge can bring with it pain, it is much better to be forewarned about danger than to ignore it. In Keith's latest study, If God is For Us, he leads us through the scriptures that help us see that God is for us, and what this means as far as our Christian faith and walk. We have no need to fear when we are assured that God always has, is, and always will provide and protect us. Keith's study brings freedom so that Christians can focus on what God has placed them here for, instead of worrying about spiritual attacks. You will understand the enemy's schemes and learn to walk in your victory.

The purpose of doing this study is to focus on the coming of Christ, and to better prepare us for His coming. The early Christians in the first century would often talk of His coming and encourage one another by looking forward to the day when Christ would return. If that was so for centuries ago, how much more should we be anticipating His coming in the days in which we live? Now more than ever, it is important that we remember often to lift up our heads and say, "e;Come Lord Jesus!"e;
