For the vast majority of Americans, patiotism is in again. Since the events of September 11, 2001, more people are showing their love for the United States-by flying the flag, supporting the troops and saying God bless America-than we've seen in many years. But the possibility of further terrorist attacks, economic disruptions, and worldwide war unsettles many people. Author Jim Reimann says one thing-trust in God-will dispel such fears and make life in a dangerous world livable. As Reimann says in his preface, This book is a reminder that when patriotism and the promises of men and nations are not enough, god promises to protect us from the pestilence and plague if we acknowledge His name and call upon Him. The time has come for us to stand on that promise-to call upon God daily-to spend time in His presence and His truth-and then to listen to Him speaking to us through His Word, as we sit quietly before Him.
From Jim Holt, the New York Times bestselling author of Why Does the World Exist?, comes an entertaining and accessible guide to the most profound scientific and mathematical ideas of recent centuries in When Einstein Walked with Gödel: Excursions to the Edge of Thought. Does time exist? What is infinity? Why do mirrors reverse left and right but not up and down? In this scintillating collection, Holt explores the human mind, the cosmos, and the thinkers who’ve tried to encompass the latter with the former. With his trademark clarity and humor, Holt probes the mysteries of quantum mechanics, the quest for the foundations of mathematics, and the nature of logic and truth. Along the way, he offers intimate biographical sketches of celebrated and neglected thinkers, from the physicist Emmy Noether to the computing pioneer Alan Turing and the discoverer of fractals, Benoit Mandelbrot. Holt offers a painless and playful introduction to many of our most beautiful but least understood ideas, from Einsteinian relativity to string theory, and also invites us to consider why the greatest logician of the twentieth century believed the U.S. Constitution contained a terrible contradiction—and whether the universe truly has a future.

Featuring classic essays by Stravinsky, Stockhausen, and Reich, as well as writings by lesser-known but equally innovative composers such as Jack Beeson, Richard Maxfield, and T. J. Anderson, this collection covers a broad range of styles and approaches. Here you will find Busoni's influential "Sketch of a New Esthetic of Music"; Partch's exploration of a new notation system; Babbitt's defense of advanced composition in his controversial "Who Cares If You Listen?"; and Pauline Oliveros's meditations on sound. Now updated with fifteen new composers including Michael Tippet, György Ligeti, Gunther Schuller, Ben Johnston, Sofia Gubaidulina, and William Bolcom, this important book gathers together forty-nine pieces—many out of print and some newly written for this volume—which serve as a documentary history of twentieth-century music, in theory and practice. Impassioned, provocative, and eloquent, these writings are as exciting and diverse as the music they discuss.

This is the story of Nicodemus, a Jewish leader, who comes to Jesus at night and wants to know how to enter the kingdom of God. Jesus shares that one must be "born again". Anyone who trusts in Jesus can have eternal life, He says. This inspiring nighttime scene is the basis of this book, following the Scripture John 3:1-16. Nicodemus was one of the Jewish leaders in the time of Jesus, a member of the Sanhedrin, the court and legislature of the Jewish community in the Land of Israel during that era. It appears that Nicodemus approaches Jesus under the cover of darkness so as not to be seen associating with a rebel against the Jewish establishment.Nicodemus is mentioned in the Scriptures two times more: John 7:50-52: during the Festival of Tabernacles (Sukkot in Hebrew) in Jerusalem, when Jesus attracts a huge crowd with his call to believe in him and his teaching. The Jewish authorities in Jerusalem are not pleased with this, and they want to arrest Jesus and bring him before the court. Nicodemus stands up and argues that every man has the right to be heard before he is put on trial. John 19:39-42: Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea pay their final respects to the crucified Jesus by anointing his body with myrrh and aloes, wrapping it in shrouds and burying him.The author of our book, Jim Reimann (1950-2013), was an ordained minister and Bible teacher. He was the Chairman of the Christian Booksellers Association, with members in more than 60 countries.
