It's 1971, and Jack Higgins has just graduated from college. For him, it means the beginning of his adult life, but it also means he's eligible for the Vietnam draft. Jack is certain he will die if sent overseas but feels he has little control over the course of his life. His parents want him to interview for career-oriented jobs, just like his father, but this is not the life Jack seeks. In order to find his way-his own way-he must get away from his family and land on his own two feet. Jack leaves the United States and goes to live in Berlin with a college friend. He yearns to find out who he is and what path his life should take. Experience becomes Jack's teacher when he buys a BMW motorcycle and drives from Berlin to the south shore of Crete. To become his own man, he resolves his personal demons and faces challenges, all with the help of the open road.

Tearful, trembling, and moaning declarations of Ante "Vlah" Starcevic's secular martyrdom and sainthood are primarily a 20th-century phenomenon.Greatest Croat, Greatest Croat Thinker, Croatia's Aristotle, Father of the Fatherland, Hitler before Hitler, and other glorious titles place Starcevic alone at the top of Croatia's national pantheon.CROATIA 5 book attempts to reconcile Starcevic's martyrdom and sainthood with highly credible 19th-century Croat sources that tell a different story.More Croat contemporaries than not, including patrons, friends, associates, and followers, consider Starcevic an eccentric, repulsive, evil, divisive, destructive, and dangerous illiterate creep.CROATIA 5 also presents solid evidence that 1) Starcevic is less a Croat patriot and more a willing and compliant agent of Hungary's policies as scripted by Ban Levin Roach, and 2) teammate Eugen Quadroni Kvaternik is a looney-tubes political scoundrel of the lowest order.PurposeThis book does not pretend to be anything other than it is: an altogether preliminary attempt to identify the basic ethnic, genetic, educational, social, political, psychological, lifestyle, and situational factors that influence and shape Ante Vlah Starcevic's fundamental social and political ideas.
Everybody knows Revelation is a weird writing. Grasping its message is not often easy and probably not the first choice for a night's fireside reading.Nevertheless, most inquirers recognize the book's insights and prophecies as crucial to our lives. We need a guide to ease us through the complexitiesand out the other side with understanding and inspiration. Look no further. Revelation for Regular Readers tumbles out page after page of dependable discernment with engaging entertainment. None of us are "e;dummies"e; who want weak scholarship to push us through Revelation; most are "e;average"e; readers who would simply welcome a little help along the way. Revelation for Regular Readers is logically organized, solidly written, and glazed with humor and common sense. You won't regret plunking down a little change and settling in. Revelation speaks to the new millennium and now, thankfully, we can hear it clearly.
Finding material concerning any end-of-the-world-tinged subject is easy. But what information is reliable? Which theories are faith-based andbiblically sound? Does everything have to be complex, scary, or sensational? To harvest the best answers, doubtless, we should look to the best source. There is none better, of course than Jesus Christ himself. His discourse from Mt. Olivet, near Jerusalem, was the final and most detailed revelation given during his earthly ministry. As a fortunate bonus, the book you are holding will help clarify the intricacies of the end-time message fortoday's generation. Oracles from Olivet could easily become your primer for futuristic thinking. Every page offers reasoning that is clear, concise,and - yes, even entertaining. Paraphrases tame the tough theological words and illustrative fables flavor the text.You won't be disappointed - you'll be thrilled.
Before considering the important part of the sermon, let's take a look at today's Gospel lesson and ask, what's wrong with this picture? What takes place in our Gospel story that does not reflect the way things usually happen in the world?If were teaching a class, I would now stop talking, and there would be a long period of silence, while you look through the biblical text on your bulletin insert, to try to find something unusual. But to ensure that this sermon ends before it's time for Sunday School to begin, I'll save some time by pointing out that it is highly unusual for two pregnant women to meet and for one to say to the other, "You're going to be the mother of someone whom I'll be calling 'Lord.'" Normally, Elizabeth--or anyone else--would not know such a thing in advance. Right? The reference is to Jesus, of course. Elizabeth calls him "Lord," and that fact provides a clue to what is going on here that you, as an average person-in-the-pew, would not even begin to imagine. At least, I didn't, until I went to seminary.You see, among the Jews of Jesus' day, Jesus was called "Master," or "Rabbi," or "Rabboni." He wasn't called "Lord." "Lord" was a title used by Greeks, and it was a popular title applied to Jesus when Christianity spread out of Palestine into Greek-speaking areas. But it wasn't a title that people who actually knew Jesus called him. So when you see Jesus being called "Lord" in the Gospels, that is a clue that that passage reflects the practices of the early Christian Church and does not come from Jesus's own time. (In case you didn't realize it, the Gospels were not written by people who took notes while the events of Jesus life were taking place. For better or worse, the Bible was developed through a much more complicated process).
