The Gods of Roman Britain

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Green, Miranda J. / Aldhouse-Green, Miranda, PUBLISHER: Shire Publications, This book looks at the religious beliefs of the people of the Roman province of Britain and at the gods they worshipped. Little literary evidence survives and it is therefore necessary to rely almost wholly on epigraphic and iconographical representations. The book first examines the pre-Roman Celtic background to Romano-British religion from about 500 BC. The chapters following analyse the nature of the evidence; the introduction of Roman religion to the province; oriental cults including Christianity; the integration of Roman with pre-existing British and other Celtic cults, and the resulting composite religion which thus emerged. The final chapter examines stylised Celtic representations of anonymous divinities. Miranda Green is currently Professor of Archaeology at University of Wales College, Newport, where she is also Director of the SCARAB Research Centre.

James Natsis takes a sweeping look at student/youth associations and organizations from their beginnings in to independence in .

Conquering the Fear of Failure: Lessons from the Life of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lutzer, Erwin W., PUBLISHER: Kregel Publications, The fear of failure afflicts us all. It erodes faith, deflates courage, and prevents victorious living. But fear doesn't have to haunt us anymore. In this newly repackaged edition of his popular book, best-selling author and beloved pastor Erwin W. Lutzer offers a healing alternative that releases Christians from attitudes of defeat. Using lessons from the life of Joshua, Lutzer teaches what Christians can do every day to see the promises of God fulfilled in their lives. From learning to listen to the right voice to living with a bad decision, from embracing the power of prayer to overcoming obstacles, this handbook will guide readers through the pitfalls of spiritual growth. "My prayer is that through studying Joshua we all will take one more giant step toward spiritual maturity," writes Lutzer. "In the process we shall discover that God is all-powerful and worthy of our trust." Written in the tone that made Lutzer a best-selling author of more than twenty books, "Conquering the Fear of Failure" shows readers how to focus on God and His promises, not upon circumstances or setbacks, so we may live a faith-filled, victorious life.

Macbeth

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shakespeare, William / Von / Zarate, Oscar, PUBLISHER: Workman Publishing, Hundreds of bold-color illustrations keep pace with Shakespeare's dialogue in "The Illustrated Macbeth," an unexpurgated but easy-to-understand, panel-by-panel look at the classic tragedy of ambition and death. Like the Elizabethan groundlings who stood just inches from the stage at the old globe theatre, readers observe characters and scenes close at hand, immediately making vital, visual connections between actors and actions. For this new popular format, no one word of text has been edited from the Folio Edition. The European artist Von has worked almost two years painting figures of heroic stance to depict the bloodchilling encounters and haunting soliloquies: Macbeth's prophetic meeting with the Three Sisters, the dark night of Duncan's murder, Lady Macbeth's guilty madness, the moments before the fatal duel with Macduff.
