Amazing Prophecies Being Fulfilled

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rogers, Herb, Jr., PUBLISHER: Xulon Press, Herb Rogers has been in full time ministry for over 50 years as the senior pastor in churches in Colorado, California and Florida. During his ministry Bible prophecy has been a frequent topic in his preaching. This book is a compilation of decades of intense study in the area of Biblical signs of the times. The signs of the times found in Scripture are startling in number when viewed together. They stand as proof that our generation is witnessing events that have never happened in all of recorded history. Jesus said that we would know that the end of the age is near when these signs all occur at the same time. The thing that makes this study amazing is that all of the hundreds of things predicted in God's Word are not only presently happening, but they are increasing in intensity and number as we rush toward the final fulfillment of all things. The book will name each sign individually, give the scripture verses that predicted it and then share articles from magazines, books, etc. that substantiate the progress of each sign in our present world. Even the unsaved are aware that the world seems to be moving toward some sort of a climax.It appears that the world has entered an era of dramatic and ominous change. At the present moment the planet is in severe crisis. In we saw bank failures, the stock market crash, and bailouts of all sorts. Unemployment has soared, foreclosures of homes have been epic in scope, and businesses are closing by the thousands, including some of the largest stores in America. What does it all mean? This book presents an awesome answer to this question.

It's what we all long for, what all human beings seek in our jobs, our relationships, our activities. We try so hard to be happy, and all too often we end up empty and unsatisfied. Why?

Instead of looking for happiness in the temporal pleasures of this world, we need to learn the secret Jesus taught in the astounding set of teachings we call the Beatitudes - that true, lasting happiness is a by-product, a bonus that comes when we seek what is really important. Presented with Dr. Graham's characteristic simplicity, this landmark book teaches us to live above the circumstances of life and rest in the true happiness God wants us to have.

Leisure: The Basis of Culture: Including the Philosophical

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pieper, Josef / Dru, Alexander / Schall, James V., PUBLISHER: Ignatius Press, One of the most important philosophy titles published in the twentieth century, Josef Pieper's Leisure, the Basis of Culture is more significant, even more crucial, today than it was when it first appeared more than fifty years ago. This edition also includes his work The Philosophical Act. Leisure is an attitude of the mind and a condition of the soul that fosters a capacity to perceive the reality of the world. Pieper shows that the Greeks and medieval Europeans, understood the great value and importance of leisure. He also points out that religion can be born only in leisure -- a leisure that allows time for the contemplation of the nature of God. Leisure has been, and always will be, the first foundation of any culture. Pieper maintains that our bourgeois world of total labor has vanquished leisure, and issues a startling warning: Unless we regain the art of silence and insight, the ability for non-activity, unless we substitute true leisure for our hectic amusements, we will destroy our culture -- and ourselves.

Courting Disaster: The Supreme Court and the Unmaking of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Garbus, Martin, PUBLISHER: Times Books, A provocative look at the naked political agenda of today's Supreme Court, from one of America's foremost jurists. In the fall of , when the United States Supreme Court handed down a decision that effectively decided a Presidential election, the Court's role in political life suddenly was thrust onto center stage. But, as legendary attorney and activist Martin Garbus argues, the Court has been a hotbed of politics for years, and it's time we took off our blinders and stopped treating the justices as the protectors of objective truth. For more than a generation, the Supreme Court has been quietly but aggressively rolling back legislation that has been fundamental to our justice system and economy since the days of Franklin Roosevelt. Although they remain on the books, laws concerning everything from abortion to the rights of suspects have been all but eviscerated. Most of the legal principles involved are subtle and technical, and often are lost on the general public. But in Courting Disaster Garbus brilliantly explicates the ways in which seemingly small decisions by the Court can preciptate radical change in American law, and then in American society. Ultimately, Garbus issues a passionate, well-argued wake-up call to liberal forces, urging the restoration of the Court's bipartisanship and objectivity.
