From American Slavery to the American Presidency

By: Dr. Theron D. Wilson, PhD

From American Slavery to the American Presidency By: Dr. Theron D. Wilson, PhD Having watched bigotry surface from his pre-teenage years until more recent times, Dr. Theron D. Wilson, PhD, felt there should be a link showing how strong discrimination was versus the intensely prevailing and overcoming of racial bigotry today. Turn on your TV today, and you will see more black people. In government, we have had black representatives, black senators, black mayors, black governors, and a black two-term American president. In this insightful look into our nation's history, Dr. Wilson demonstrates just how far we have come and the incredible unity we can achieve if we continue on our path of ending bigotry and racism.

Biblical Discipleship Study Guide: Essential Components for Attaining Spiritual Maturity

By: Dr. Todd M. Fink

This 16 Week Study Guide is exceptionally practical and life-transforming. It is taken from the main book Biblical Discipleship: Essential Components for Attaining Spiritual Maturity. However, it is a “stand-alone” book study that is designed to be used on its own. Its purpose is to take the 14 core principles of discipleship and put them into practice. Today, we have many ways of defining success in life. Some define it as being a sports hero, others as being wealthy, others as being popular and well-liked, and still others as being happy. How does God define success? He defines it as being spiritually mature!

Listen To Him

Listen To Him

By: John Sandberg, Rev. Dr.

This book makes three basic points: The first is that the Christian Church had drifted from its foundation on Jesus Christ so that it often appears as the enemy of much that Jesus taught and did. The second truth is that we now rest upon a different foundation, that of the Apostle Paul – without understanding and perceiving Paul’s mission and his struggles. The third issue is we have left the Kingdom of God and created our own Kingdoms of this world: our Denominations or our (mega) Churches. This is not a book for the scholars, though they are most welcome. It is for ordinary people who simply read their Bible and ask, “What’s going on? What does God seem to be doing?”

Setting Your Course

By: Dr. Greg Bourgond

God is very clear about His purposes for you. If you want to live a meaningful life, it must be aligned with His purposes. You have a unique purpose to fulfill, a committed passion to embrace, a role to perform, unique methodologies-a personal toolkit-to employ, and an ultimate contribution to make. In Setting Your Course, author Dr. Greg Bourgond seeks to help you set your course, find focus for your life, engage in God's journey for you, and finish your journey well. He employs a three-part process to influence you to live all-out for Christ-the compass, map, and guide: - The compass explains the importance of orienting your life in accordance with established biblical compass points. - The map defines the trajectory you are to follow based on how God has wired you. - The guide stresses the importance of being mentored and mentoring others. Setting Your Course helps you formulate a deliberate strategy for determining your purpose; assists you in aligning your life according to God's plan; encourages you to become a proactive partner in fulfilling God's purposes and redemptive activity; and exhorts you to leave a worthwhile legacy in the lives of others.

Biblical Discipleship: Essential Components for Attaining Spiritual Maturity

By: Dr. Todd M. Fink

Today, we have many ways of defining success in life. Some define it as being a sports hero, others as being wealthy, others as being popular and well liked, and still others as being happy. How does God define success? He defines it as being spiritually mature! How do we become spiritually mature? There’s only one way, and it’s called discipleship. However, statistics show that discipleship is in a state of crisis today. Many Christians are not growing in Christ and are stuck in the process of reaching spiritual maturity. A Barna study reveals that almost nine out of ten senior pastors of Protestant churches assert that spiritual immaturity is one of the most serious issues facing the church. Sadly, what discipleship meant in the time of Christ and what it means today is vastly different. Moreover, the importance Christ and the Apostles gave to discipleship is also stunningly different than the importance many Christians and churches today give it. Unlike the disciples who had much of Scripture memorized, a whopping 81% of Christians today don’t read their Bibles regularly. Unlike Christ’s disciples who were “Fishers of Men,” 61% of believers today have not shared their faith in the past six months. And sadly, unlike Christ and the Apostles who made discipleship the central focus of their ministries, 81% of pastors today have no regular discipleship programs in their churches. Discipleship is being neglected today, and the consequences are crippling many Christians and churches. This book hopes to change that! Chapter 1 focuses on the state of discipleship today and exposes the sad truth that it’s in crisis mode. Chapter 2 reveals 13 key factors contributing to the lack of discipleship today. Chapter 3 defines biblical discipleship based on central phrases Christ used in His ministry. Chapter 4 brings to light 14 essential components of the discipleship-making process that must be understood and practiced in order to attain spiritual maturity. Chapter 5 provides practical, “how-to” help for growing in Christ. It includes self-assessment tests for measuring your level of spiritual maturity in each essential component of discipleship and gives hands-on, useful ideas for taking steps toward spiritual maturity. Discipleship is a command for all believers and is our highest calling. This book provides biblical help for fulfilling this calling and seeks to discover what God says about genuine growth in Christ. It’s both an informative book and a “how-to” book. It deals with the barriers that are hindering discipleship, and offers practical help for overcoming these barriers and attaining spiritual maturity. So, are you ready to grow? Would you like to be pleasing to God? Would you like to fulfill the reason for which you’ve been created? Would you like the full blessings of God in your life? Would you like to become spiritually mature? Would you like to hear Christ’s words, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” when you arrive in heaven? If so, this book is for you.

My Heroes Have Always Been Indians

A Century of Great Indigenous Albertans

By: Dr. Cora J. Voyageur

In a series of inspirational profiles, Cora Voyageur celebrates 100 remarkable Indigenous Albertans whose achievements have enriched their communities, the province, and the world. As a child, Cora rarely saw Indigenous individuals represented in her history textbooks or in pop culture. Willie Nelson sang “My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys,” but Cora wondered, where were the heroes who looked like her? She chose the title of her book in response, to help reflect her reality. In fact, you don’t have to look very hard to find Indigenous Albertans excelling in every field, from the arts to business and everything in between. Cora wrote this book to ensure these heroes receive their proper due. Some of the individuals in this collection need no introduction, while others are less well known. From past and present and from all walks of life, these 100 Indigenous heroes share talent, passion, and legacies that made a lasting impact. Read about: - Douglas Cardinal, the architect whose iconic, flowing designs grace cities across Alberta, across Canada, and in Washington, DC, - Nellie Carlson, a dedicated activist whose work advanced the cause of Indigenous women and the education of Indigenous children, - Alex Janvier, whose pioneering work has firmly established him as one of Canada’s greatest artists, - Moostoos, “The Buffalo,” the spokesperson for the Cree in Treaty 8 talks who fought tirelessly to defend his People’s rights, - And many more.

Trade, Food Security, and Human Rights

The Rules for International Trade in Agricultural Products and the Evolving World Food Crisis

By: Dr Ying Chen

Most scholars attribute systemic causes of food insecurity to poverty, human overpopulation, lack of farmland, and expansion of biofuel programs. However, as Chen argues here, another significant factor has been overlooked. The current food insecurity is not absolute food shortage, since global food production still exceeds the need of the entire world population, but a problem of how to secure access to resources. Distorted agricultural trade undermines world food distribution, and uneven distribution impedes people’s access to food, particularly in poor developing countries. Examining EU and US agricultural policies and World Trade Organization negotiations in agriculture, the author argues how they affect the international agricultural trade, claiming that current food insecurity is the result of inequitable food distribution and trade practices. The international trade regime is advised to reconcile trade rules with the consideration of food security issues. Several other enforceable solutions to reduce world hunger and malnutrition are also advanced, including national capacity building, the improvement of governance, and strategic development of biofuel programs. This book will be of great interest to agricultural trade professionals and consultant policy makers in the EU, US and developing countries. Students and researchers with a concentration on international trade, agriculture economics, global governance and international law will benefit greatly from this study.

Naturalism and Our Knowledge of Reality

Testing Religious Truth-claims

Naturalism and Our Knowledge of Reality

Testing Religious Truth-claims

By: Dr R Scott Smith

Philosophical naturalism is taken to be the preferred and reigning epistemology and metaphysics that underwrites many ideas and knowledge claims. But what if we cannot know reality on that basis? What if the institution of science is threatened by its reliance on naturalism? R. Scott Smith argues in a fresh way that we cannot know reality on the basis of naturalism. Moreover, the "fact-value" split has failed to serve our interests of wanting to know reality. The author provocatively argues that since we can know reality, it must be due to a non-naturalistic ontology, best explained by the fact that human knowers are made and designed by God. The book offers fresh implications for the testing of religious truth-claims, science, ethics, education, and public policy. Consequently, naturalism and the fact-value split are shown to be false, and Christian theism is shown to be true.

Are the Mormons Teaching Fables

“And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables”

By: Dr. Glenn Orr

Paul says in 2 Timothy 4:3, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears” (telling them what they want to hear). Verse 4 says, “And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” So, are the Mormons teaching fables? Glenn Orr, a former member of other churches and a convert, examines the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka the Mormons) from a skeptical and scriptural perspective—with very interesting results!

Engineer of Revolutionary Russia

Iurii V. Lomonosov (1876–1952) and the Railways

By: Prof Dr Anthony Heywood

This book is the first substantial study in any language of one of revolutionary Russia's most distinguished and controversial engineers - Iurii Vladimirovich Lomonosov (1876-1952). Not only does it provide an outline of his remarkable life and career, it also explores the relationship between science, technology and transport that developed in late tsarist and early Soviet Russia. Lomonosov's importance extends well beyond his scientific and engineering achievements thanks to the rich variety and public prominence of his professional and political activities. His generation - Lenin's generation - was inevitably at the forefront of Russian life from the 1910s to the 1930s, and Lomonosov took his place there as one of the country's best known and ultimately notorious engineers. As well as an innovative engineer who campaigned to enhance the role of science, he played a major role in shaping and administering the Russian railways, and undertook several diplomatic and scientific missions to the West during the early years of the Revolution. Falling from political favour during an assignment in Germany (1923-1927), he achieved notoriety in Russia as a 'non-returner' by apparently declining to return home. Thereby escaping probable arrest and execution, he began a new life abroad (1927-1952) which included a research post at the California Institute of Technology in 1929-1930, collaborative projects with the famous physicist P.L. Kapitsa in Cambridge, a long-time association with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London, and work for the British War Office during the Second World War. From Marxist revolutionary to American academic, this study reveals Lomonosov's extraordinary life. Drawing on a wide variety of official Russian sources, as well as Lomonosov's own diaries and memoirs, a vivid portrait of his life is presented, offering a better understanding of how science, technology and politics interacted in early-twentieth-century Russia.

The Ice Bridge

A Novel

By: D. R. MacDonald

Anna Starling flees a dissolving marriage in California to save herself and her artistic career, and rents a house in the isolated landscape of Cape Breton. There, her life intersects with that of her neighbor Red Murdock, a cabinetmaker who has recently lost Rosaire, the great love of his life, to cancer. Surrounded by the old ghosts of this landscape and the echoes of the indigenous Scottish culture that once lived in this isolated community, Anna and Murdock slowly come together just as the modern world encroaches on their town. When a local drug–smuggling ring starts to impede on their natural landscape, Anna finds herself caught in the crosshairs, and both she and Murdock must shake off the past in order to contend with the dark forces swirling all around them. Part love story, part moral fable, and part quest for home and heart, The Ice Bridge is a superbly crafted tale of love after love, a novel rich in atmosphere and infused with lyrical descriptions of land and sea. It is about timeless characters caught in a distinctly modern world. Written with an ear for the cadences of Cape Breton and a profound understanding of the many emotional shadings that exist between the sexes, The Ice Bridge is another superb work from D.R. MacDonald.

Loving God

A Scriptural and Psychological Guide to Fulfilling the Greatest Commandment

By: Dr. A. LaFountain

The single most important task for any Christian is to love God with all their heart, with all their soul, and with all their mind. But what does loving with the mind look like? How can we know if our soul-love is real? And how do we grow in our heart-love? In this practical and persuasive book Dr LaFountain breaks down these three very distinct types of love. She presents each one on a continuum and provides psychological tools for the reader to self-evaluate their placement along the continuum. Biblical and psychological strategies are provided that help the reader navigate their heart, soul, and mind towards fully loving God. Understanding the uniqueness of the three types of love and how to apply each to our relationship with God allows us to fulfill the first and greatest commandment of loving God. Then perhaps when we finally meet God face-to-face we will hear ‘Well done my good and faithful servant.’ A MUST-READ for anyone serious about growing in their love of God. — Pastor Stephen Smickley, Church Leadership Coach. Dr. A. LaFountain is well placed to explore and develop the application of psychology to Christian behavior. In this book she provides a step-by-step self-help practice to guide her readers in fulfilling the primary goal of their religious faith. It is a valuable resource inviting reflection, change and personal development. — Dr. Michelle Peoples, Clinical Psychologist, St John of Gods, Dublin, Ireland.

Wind Chimes Coursebook 6

By: Dr Vijaya, Alka Batra, Charu Rekha, Vijaya Subramaniam

1. It is a series of English coursebooks and workbooks for classes 1 to 8, based on the new curriculum published by the CISCE 2. The series is crafted for learners of the 21st century, for whom it is of foremost importance to learn how to learn. 3. The use of Graphic Organisers, Timelines and Graphic retelling of stories develop critical thinking and study skills in learners—two vital tools for learning. 4. The series guides learners through the seven stages of a brain-based approach to learning. 5. The 5Ps address the above mentioned seven stages as follows - Ponder: aids the learners in pre-acquisition of concepts by setting the context, while preparing them to read the text with the aid of the glossary and in-text questions. Prepare: immerses the learners into the context and initiates holistic learning. It helps in the acquisition of newer perspectives through task-based activities. Practise: lays out the canvas for the stage of elaboration, in which the learners analyse and evaluate the text while applying their understanding of it. Perfect: aids memory encoding through drilling of vocabulary and grammar topics. It helps with incubation of concepts. Perform: functions as a confidence check for learners and ensures verification of their performative skills. This stage of summing up allows a functional integration of acquired concepts, leading to a celebration of learning. 6. Subject Integration (SI) tasks weave cross-curricular references through the chapters. 7. Task-Based Learning (TBL) activities present learners with real-life situations within the classroom. 8.

What Is the Gospel and How to Share It

By: Dr. Todd M. Fink

Soon after the gospel was first preached, attacks from the Jews, non-believers, Satan, and worldly forces began assaulting its essence. Nothing has changed over the past 2,000 years. The gospel always has been and always will be under attack. Why? Because it’s the vehicle through which we are saved. If Satan can twist and distort the gospel, then he can effectively wage war on the salvation of countless souls and their eternal destiny. Therefore, understanding the essence of the gospel and how to share it effectively is paramount. In this book, learn how to share the gospel in seven clear steps, how to start a conversation with the unsaved, the marks of saving faith, what we must believe to be saved, the four main excuses the unsaved use against the gospel, what to do after salvation, and more.

American Methodism Revised and Updated

By: Kenneth E. Rowe,Jean Miller Schmidt,Dr. Russell E. Richey,Ashley Boggan D.

The essential guide to American Methodism revised and updated through 2020. Four of Methodism’s most respected teachers give us a vivid picture of 260 years of Methodist experience in America. The revised edition updates the Methodist movement’s story through 2020, including the social, political, economic, technological, and global disruptions that cause faith communities and denominations to pull apart. American Methodism Revised and Updated begins with the explosion of evangelical Pietism and revolutionary Methodism, the First Great Awakening, as an independent nation was formed. It then highlights key 19th century themes and Methodist contributions, such as spreading scriptural holiness through missions and literature, planting tens of thousands of Sunday schools and churches by Circuit Riders, the pivotal Methodist schism between abolitionists and enslavers, the innovative building of schools and hospitals into the next century, and the revivalism of the Second Great Awakening. Finally it explores the movements of 20th century Methodism, including the expansion of home and foreign missions, the Methodist drive for Prohibition, the decision for nationwide reunification on the cusp of World War II, reunification with the United Brethren during the Vietnam War, the Methodist ordination of women during the 1950s, Black Methodist leadership in the 1960s Civil Rights movement, and the liturgical renewal or reformation of worship (ancient and future).

Taylor, Rorty, and Cupitt, developing dialogue from an open-minded evangelical perspective. Ron Michener draws upon insights from radical postmodern thought and seeks to advance an apologetic approach to the Christian faith that acknowledges a mosaic of human sources including experience, literature, and the imagination.

A New Science of International Relations

Modernity, Complexity and the Kosovo Conflict

By: Dr Damian Popolo

Popolo applies Foucauldian methodology to the understanding of Complexity Science for the purposes of generating new understandings related to International Relations in general and to the Kosovo conflict in particular. He provides an epistemic analysis to the history of International Relations theory to reveal its intrinsic 'modernity', highlighting how such modernity derives from a particular understanding of scientific epistemology, which is being radically undermined by the emergence of Complexity Science. Importantly, the book shows how these theoretical issues affect specific understandings of crisis - in this case Kosovo - leading to specific policy decisions in the real world of international policy-making.

Active Faith

Resisting 4 Dangerous Ideologies with the Wesleyan Way

By: Dr. Paul W. Chilcote

Christians are invited to practice the way of Jesus by engaging in four formative practices representing central themes of the Wesleyan way: humility, hospitality, healing, and holiness. These four practices function as counterpoints to four growing dangers based on fear in the contemporary church and in society: 1. Christian fundamentalism 2. Nationalism 3. Dispensationalism 4. Antinomianism. Each of the four practices is an antidote related to the quest for a particular virtue as well, namely, truth, joy, peace, and love in resistance to these dangerous movements. Each of the four chapters discusses the relationship of these practices to scripture, identifying a signature biblical text or story related to each. They introduce the reader to a spiritual mentor who can help them understand and embrace the practice more fully. They describe contemporary forms of Christianity that distort or compromise our received faith tradition, directing their attention to a contemporary issue in which these distortions figure prominently and in which a progressive Wesleyan perspective offers an alternative vision of Christian authenticity. Finally, the chapters offer guidance showing how readers can engage in these practices on a very practical level.

Thomas Kuhn's 'Linguistic Turn' and the Legacy of Logical Empiricism

Thomas Kuhn's 'Linguistic Turn' and the Legacy of Logical Empiricism

Incommensurability, Rationality and the Search for Truth

By: Dr Stefano Gattei

Presenting a critical history of the philosophy of science in the twentieth century, focusing on the transition from logical positivism in its first half to the "new philosophy of science" in its second, Stefano Gattei examines the influence of several key figures, but the main focus of the book are Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper. Kuhn as the central figure of the new philosophy of science, and Popper as a key philosopher of the time who stands outside both traditions. Gattei makes two important claims about the development of the philosophy of science in the twentieth century; that Kuhn is much closer to positivism than many have supposed, failing to solve the crisis of neopostivism, and that Popper, in responding to the deeper crisis of foundationalism that spans the whole of the Western philosophical tradition, ultimately shows what is untenable in Kuhn's view. Gattei has written a very detailed and fine grained, yet accessible discussion making exceptionally interesting use of archive materials.

Truth Changes Everything (Perspectives: A Summit Ministries Series)

How People of Faith Can Transform the World in Times of Crisis

By: Dr. Jeff Myers

America has passed a tipping point. A majority of Americans now say that truth is up to the individual and that ultimate truth cannot be known. Learning to "speak our own truths" was supposed to lead to dignity and harmony. Instead, our society struggles with unprecedented levels of social conflict, purposelessness, and loss of identity. And still, the "Truth versus truths" tension continues to grow. Is all hope lost? In this inspiring book, Dr. Jeff Myers tells the fascinating stories of Jesus-followers who lived for Truth and transformed their world in times of crisis. These inspiring figures led the way in human dignity, science, art, medicine, education, politics, justice, and even the idea of meaningful work. No matter what is going on around us, the truth is worth fighting for. If you long for a positive, restorative role in our own chaotic era, it's time to discover how truth changes everything.

Voices of the Soul

The Song of Transformation

By: Dr. Barbara Byers

What would it be like to live with a sense of deep well-being, responsive emotions, well-ordered thoughts, a clear conscience, and a will free to choose? Voices of the Soul focuses on soul health—spiritual formation and transformation for those who desire greater depth and growth. Borrowing from and building on the works of Dr. Carla Waterman, Leanne Payne, C. S. Lewis, and Dr. Dallas Willard, this study works from a grace-filled, Spirit-empowered, biblical perspective and offers more than inner healing. It describes the hidden dimensions of the soul’s architecture, explores how they can become damaged, and provides specific healing practices for wholeness. Each chapter invites you to pause and reflect, building toward personal application and further development. What is sore and disordered can be identified, reshaped, and reordered by the healing power of the cross. As you resolve hindrances to maturity, you can experience restoration and healing, growing into your authentic self with Christ at the center. This uplifting guide explains the interactive nature of the Lord’s deep transformation of our souls, with practical steps for personal growth and healing.

Inspiring Thoughts of Great Educational Thinkers

By: Dr. VIMAL KISHOR

Where does inspiration come from? Is it a moment of personal genius? The voice of God speaking directly to us? Or is it the result of good, old-fashioned hard work? Maybe, it's both. The word inspiration literally means to "breathe in." When babies are born, when they begin to live, they breathe. Likewise, we all need inspiration - the breath of life - to truly live. Every now and then we read a book, watch a movie or simply hear a story where we learn something that dramatically changes our life. It's profound when it happens. But as remarkable as it may be, it is also rare and unpredictable.

The Controlling Husband

What Every Woman Needs to Know

By: Dr. Ron Welch

I can't live this way anymore." "I've given up trying to change him." "I can't ever be good enough." "He won't listen to me anyway." As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Ron Welch has heard many women in controlling marriages pour out their hearts. They feel trapped, helpless, stuck in a situation with no solution and no way out. In this candid book, Welch offers real hope. He shows women how controlling husbands develop, why wives allow themselves to be controlled, and strategies to help both husband and wife change. Welch struggled as a controlling husband for years but found help and healing in his relationship with his wife. He uses that experience, as well as examples from the lives of the couples he's worked with, to show women that just because "he's always been this way" doesn't mean their marriage must be that way forever. He teaches women valuable practical skills for coping with the challenges they face and transforming the power and control issues in their marriages. For wives of controlling husbands, along with the friends and family members who love and are concerned about them, this is an essential resource. Counselors will also find it helpful as they work with hurting couples.
