"When it comes to the identity and function of The Church of Jesus Christ, there is no more important word than "Apostolic." At the same time, the role of "Apostles" are vital today, if we as the church are going to live out our eternal purposes on the earth before our Lord's return. In this new book, Dr. John Polis has done all of us a great service as he has brought clear definition regarding the spiritual and practical roles of those who fulfill the office of "Apostle" in this time of church history. I highly recommend that every follower of Jesus should take the time to read and reread this foundational book in order to attain clarity regarding this primary subject that is important to the advancement of The Kingdom of God in this generation!"

A New Normal is Lisa Kellett's personal and powerful story of how God came into the darkness and found a lost and broken girl who didn't even know she was lost. She reveals the vast difference of what it means to live in the darkness without the hope and light of Christ-the place where dreams are impossible and survival is a way of life.She offers hope and answers to those who want to give up on life. Her life is a living testimony that God loves ALL of us, and He is there in the darkness wooing us into His furious love that breaks every kind of bondage and heals even the deepest wounds. Although, as Lisa shows, there is a real enemy against our souls who wants to kill, steal, and destroy each of us-there is nothing in this earth that God's love can't heal. This is proven through her own story, as a spiritual battle was waged against her life before she was ever born. Lisa shares her powerful testimony of how God miraculously healed her from an incurable disease, which was the result of years of self-hatred, and of her supernatural experience of His deliverance that transformed her life. This book will help both men and women realize that they are not accidents and that God has a good plan for their lives-plans of hope and a good future.

"SOMBER AND HOPEFUL-OUR BASIC INSTINCT TO SURVIVE IS EXEMPLIFIED IN THIS APOCALYPTIC AND ACTION-PACKED TALE. John Trent survived the hordes of mankind pouring out of cities-looking for food, clean water, and any other dream that made sense-and the starvation and disease that followed. Now in the aftermath, a small community in the Ozarks is trying to rebuild, despite Raiders trying to kill them off and hungry movers wanting to take over. So, when John reports to his Army commander and is tasked with saving this small town, he jumps at the opportunity to set flame to evil for good. In a constant fight for survival, battle-hardened John learns to care again. He learns to love again. But first... he must defeat a ruthless adversary whose treachery knows no bounds and secure the survival of a town that represents one of the last few hopes of survival"--

The details of the Jewish Holocaust have become part of our history through the testimony of those who survived the death camps. The details of Lenin's and Stalin's reigns of terror are far less known because they took place behind a wall of secrecy, and survivors have been reluctant to speak about them for fear of retribution. This is an encompassing volume presenting an intense display, as complete as can be, of testimonies, gathered between 2001 and 2005 of actors implicated in different aspects of Russian life roughly through the period 1917-1956. They were people who had lived under the Soviet regime in times of peace and in times of war, from the Red Terror through the Great Terror. One must bear in mind the political and economic conditions in which those lives developed: the one-Party rule placed above both the government and the citizens, the abashment of the division of powers, the suppression of private property and private economic initiative, the political police, and the GULAG. Russian Nights offers a wide and detailed perspective of what we call "the Russian Century" Lenin's takeover, the all-powerful Party, the GULAG, and the Second World War.

"This is the work of a masterful scholar and writer, who has a deep appreciation for law and medicine, and the core-competencies to back it up. By far, Matthew's account provides a detailed innovative approach that could have a revolutionary impact on the way the judicial system tackles medical malpractice and the loss of chance doctrine." -- Dr. Stephen Glazer, MD FRCPC FCCP.With every diagnosis given and every treatment prescribed, patients find themselves confined to operate on a metaphorical chess-board encumbered by statistics. There is virtually no liberation. "How long do I have?" "Is it fatal?" "What are my options?" "What is my chance of survival?" These are the quintessential queries which preoccupy and burden the mind. For any given patient, diagnosis and prognosis offer insight and to some extent clarity. Unfortunately, this reality is oftnever realized when patients are subjected to negligent misdiagnosis. Under the shroud of wrongful error, the patient loses a statistical advantage pertaining to their survival or recovery. Consideration of this loss of chance as compensable at lawhas sparked prodigious debate amongst legal scholars and judicial decision makers spanning the globe. However, as medical malpractice actions in some countries have seen a decline in patient claim success over the past 40 years, many have argued a new judicial approach is needed. One approach offered is to utilize the loss of chance doctrine. What is it? How does it work? What is the Walker Approach? These answers and more await you inside this book.

Birds to Bones takes essays, art, and poetry and turns them into a cosmological dance. Story is truth, the truth is story, it says, and we are all creatures born of earth, reaching for the sky, attempting to transform. Magic is the cycle of birth, death, hope and some of the most urgent questions of the quest toward holiness are: where are your temples? And who do you let in? Birds to Bones is story-which is to say truth-steeped in dirt and starlight. Water, air, earth, fire all, all being woven together with words. Meaning isn't something that's opaque and unknowable: it's something that's made, one bit of matter, one spoken word at a time.-Kerry Spencer Pray, editor of I Spoke to You with Silence

Guided by the author's strong connection to nature, Lone Pine is a collection of poetry on the wonder of life, personal loss and ultimately hope. "It is the dark that spawns the light. When the dark tries to claim me, light breaks from within shattering to splinters this mirror that attempts to rend my soul to ruin. It is in those moments of supreme doubt, anger, spit and vengeance that I find my voice. And it is this light that springs it free to the page for others to read. Sometimes I even find clarity. I hope you the reader will enjoy these simple spare verses. I hope you will identify your own dark place and find a way that guides to the light. For the light is always warm. The light always springs songs of life. It is in the light that we gain wisdom."

Jesus het tyd gemaak om sy lewe in net twaalf dissipels te bele. Hierdie manne is op hul beurt opgelei om dissipels te maak totdat die evangelie van die koninkryk die eindes van die aarde bereik het deur middel van die vermenigvuldigingsproses.Wat sal gebeur as ons Jesus se voorbeeld volg deur tyd te maak om met mense kontak te maak, met hulle te deel, hulle te ontwikke en ons tyd en lewens te bele in diegene wat Jesus op unieke wyse op hierdie spesifieke oomblik in ons lewens ingebring het. Die woorde potensiaal en geleentheid kom onmiddelik by my op.Stel jou net voor...Alle mense bereik hul volle potensiaal deur soos Jesus te leef en op te tree en hulself in andere te dupliseer en te vermeerder.Leef in kontak - Gids vir leiers en fasiliteerders sal jou ondersteun om by ander aan tesluit om 'n nuwe leefstyl van intimiteit met God aan te neem, om getransformeerte word na die beeld van Jesus Christus en om by Hom aan te sluit in sy sendingom die wêreld te bereik en te verander.

This is a work of the imagination depicting cities that did exist or may exist in the future, in a different world, or in an alternate reality, or in a lost, forgotten past. Mostly, they are beautiful cities, parklike, majestic, full of grand towers and crystal-clear canals and waterways.Thomas Jewusiak has been a working professional painter all of his adult life. He worked his way through college (he is a graduate of Fordham College) by painting street scenes and architecturally interesting buildings and selling his work through private commissions. He has designed homes and presented them through his own architectural renderings in oil on canvas and pen and ink. His love of architecture has brought him to old historic towns, capturing their magic of place through his brush. He inhabits the places he paints always painting on location where possible (even if that location is the interior of his own imagination.) He now paints only in oil on linen canvas cloth, in what at first appears to be a highly representational or even meticulously detailed photorealistic style; but upon examination his work reveals itself as highly "impressionistic", subjective, idealized and even fantastic, a streetscape of the mind- of a bridge unbuilt, demolished or obscured."Artist's Statement: I reject the description of the style of my painting as photorealistic. I make no attempt to duplicate a photograph. Although there can be a valid artistic point in doing this, it is decidedly not my point. I attempt to communicate a reality or rather an illusion of actuality, as perceived by the eye and mind that is more intense, more concentrated than that which can be captured by the camera and lens alone. I also attempt a more honest portrayal of what is real than can be produced by the simple photograph. Since many of my paintings are purely conceptual, existing originally only in the imagination, or as a distillation or manipulation of many separate scenes that may exist, did exist or I think existed, the charge of "merely" duplicating a photograph is particularly galling. By representing the finest detail in paint I attempt to foster the illusion, (or foist the illusion), to give a perceived concrete existence to a pure product of the interpretive imagination. The sometimes excruciating detail is fundamental to the intended impression, a sleight of hand (or eye), where we are perhaps distracted by the minutia, enamored of it and thus lulled into a forgetfulness that the whole is artifice, an elaborate construct that takes on a life entirely its own, an exaggerated reality so real that it seems dream-like, a dream more real than waking."
