Eldon Archer has finished putting together his fourth book. A couple of times he declared the book was finished only have another story nagging to be told. Story after story found its way into this latest book. His great memory, the unusual things he' done that most ordinary people wouldn't even try, and he’s shared a few gems of philosophy he has gleaned from 92 years of living. Trips to 47 countries some lasting two weeks or more have generated story after story demanding to be in print. Each chapter is an interesting stand-alone story not connected to any other story. This is a book a person can enjoy piecemeal one story at a time. Very few people will do that because Eldon's first person style of writing sucks the reader into living each story after story.
“Escaping Iraq” is a true story exactly as Evelyn Shizodin Lewis lived it. As an Assyrian girl born in Iraq her story will keep readers gripped in her story of living through three wars, all under Ṣaddām Hussein’s rein. Her story takes the reader through her youth giving details of Christians living in a Moslem world. History buffs will be rewarded as she tells stories related by her dad and mother who were both born in North Iraq, land of the Kurds. The burning desire for personal and religious freedoms required her family of eleven to use many plans of escape. The reader will learn how her family was split up and were spread over nine countries, shuffling from country to country as refugees. There are so many stories within her story. Escaping through Kurdish country with her husband who was AWOL and would have been shot on sight if caught by the Iraqi military, traversing a mine field and its near disaster, crossing the Aegean Sea in a small extremely overloaded boat in the middle of the night, and being jailed twice, will keep the reader mesmerized until her stories happy ending
I have always liked to walk a little on the wild side of life when it comes to adventure travel. I purposely looked for the unique thing to do. I have chose four of my adventures that I feel represent my goals. It is my desire to take the reader with me to enjoy the adventure as completely as I did.
From the first paragraph to the very last this is a story you will live, not just read. Eldon Archer’s writing skills enmesh the reader in his writings as so eloquently proven in Slices of Eden. The reader will relive his youth on a little farm South of Norton, Kansas. The reader will be transformed from today’s escalating electronic age, plagued with chaos, to a simple but exciting jam-packed life the author lived. It has humor, tragedy, life’s lessons, history, and the importance of the family. There were a lot of hardships, but they are offset by days of riding a Shetland pony at full gallop, cane-pole fishing in the Prairie Dog creek, bike riding, often precariously, swimming, exciting nights on the ice playing shinny. The reader will actually hear the crunch of snow as Eldon and his best friend, his dad, took nightly winter walks under a brilliant star encrusted sky. This book will never become outdated. This sliver of Americana will be enjoyed for generations ad infinitum. This book will not gather dust on a book shelf as it be re-read many times and will be passed around to others.
In The Covenanters in Canada, Eldon Hay sheds light on a religious community often overlooked in the chronicle of Canadian history. A group of religious and political dissenters who opposed the interference by the Stuart kings in the affairs of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland, the Covenanter movement was small, but had deep roots worthy of attention and respect. This study of a resilient tradition of religious dissent reflects the value of variance in a genuinely pluralistic society. The Covenanters objected to a ruler who was both the head of state and head of the church. Tracing the theological and historical significance of the movement in Scotland, Ireland, and the United States, Hay outlines the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of Covenanter missionaries in the Maritimes, Upper and Lower Canada, and the West. Despite fierce opposition from rival denominations, the Covenanters ultimately survived to carve a niche for themselves and develop a precarious relationship with other denominations and secular society - a relationship that remains tenacious and tenuous. A comprehensive study of a minority religious movement, The Covenanters in Canada is an insightful perspective on the evolving relationship between small religious movements and the majority culture.
Contains a study of the Reformed Presbyterians, or Covenanters, in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia by focusing on the congregations located in the Chignecto Isthmus area (Westmorland County, New Brunswick and Cumberland County, Nova Scotia).
You look like hell, gasped a woman on TV to a disheveled man. What did she mean? What did she think hell looked like? What did the term hell contribute to her portrait? This is an example of the widespread trivializing of a once-powerful term to depict eternal damnation to mere minutia. Why does God damn the wicked to eternal punishment? Or does He? How is His judgment just? Why and how do theologians strive to modify the results of his judgment? How are we to evaluate views of hell that either soften or deny it? The doctrine of punishment of the unredeemed after death originates in the Old Testament, is developed in the intertestamental Jewish literature, and culminates in the divinely authoritative New Testament doctrine of hell. How can people avoid that dreadful fate? If they should escape from it, what should they then do? What is involved in their saving others by snatching them out of the fire (Jude 23)? How does the deliverance from eternal punishment enhance our appreciation of what Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross? What effect should it have on our Christian witness? Distinctive contributions include: (1) a careful exegesis of key biblical texts, containing a thorough analysis of the doctrine of hell, (2) a rationale of Gods punishment of the unredeemed, (3) examination of the tours of hell genre, (4) biblical and historical theological themes of witness and evangelism, (5) ramifications of eternal damnation of the unsaved in terms of the urgency of witness.

Integrated Science is an easy-to-read, but substantial introduction to the fundamental behavior of matter and energy in living and nonliving systems. It is intended to serve the needs of non-science majors who are required to complete one or more science courses as part of a general or basic studies requirement.

The language, as well as the mathematics, is as simple as can be practical for a college-level science course.
