Simon is an inner-city kid who has dealt with many struggles and ordeals throughout his lifetime. Despite his minor setbacks, he has achieved great success by being the first person in his family to get accepted into college. During his freshman year, his English professor gave the class an assignment, which was to keep a journal about "what they think about in life." Simon decided to use this journal as an emotional outlet, which expands over twenty years about his life's joys and pains. He writes about his mother, who had been in an abusive relationship for over fifteen years, which results in him not only being placed in foster care, but exposed to drugs and alcohol as a young child as well. Throughout the story, he has a constant battle with depression and contemplates suicide. Even with the success of him getting into college, he realizes that being in college is adding to the stress of him being unhappier in life. One day Simon decides that he's done with playing the victim in life, and his best bet toward becoming happy is to try and figure out a way to keep moving forward.
This collection of poems was written to describe the vast difference between Jesus and other political and religious leaders as well as those who had different belief systems. Jesus was a spiritual revolutionary leader. There never was one who spoke like him or performed the works or miracles that he accomplished. He demonstrated love, compassion, and mercy to those with whom he came in contact. He was a ray of hope to those who were in despair and a friend to the friendless. Herod was a cruel and evil murderer. He reigned over a vast amount of territory which included Bethlehem of Judea. He was filled with selfish pride which was demonstrated by his desire for power. All of the other political and religious leaders as well were filled with selfish pride which caused them to express their anger and hate by making false accusations. They sought means by which they could destroy all of those that were not like them or those whom they feared.

Many women today are suffering in different ways. Most of these feel like no one understand them. They feel like they have no one to turn to and no shoulder to cry on. Some end up becoming drug addicts and alcoholics to try and drown their sorrows, and yet others end up committing suicide.What do we do when we hear of women ending their lives and that of their children in the process? What about when we see women being used and abused by the men who supposedly love them? Is there a solution for them?Yes, there is. Jesus Christ is the solution for every problem that exists in this world. He paid the price for you and me at Calvary. He snatched the keys of life and death out of Satan's hand. He can give you a shoulder to cry on any time you need Him to.Daughters of the King was written for the purpose of educating women on how they can find rest and peace for their tired and weary souls, and how they can have a new life in Christ Jesus and have an intimate relationship with Him.
This book on Shakespeare's Henriad studies the tetralogy as a work of political thought. Leon Harold Craig, author of two previous volumes on Shakespeare's political thought, argues that the four plays present Shakespeare's teaching on the problem of legitimacy, or who has the right to rule -- one of the perennial questions of political philosophy. Offering original interpretations of each of the plays, Craig discusses the demise of divine right in Richard II, political upheaval and disputed rule in Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2, and the attempt to reestablish legitimacy on a new basis in Henry V. While focusing especially on the plays' various interpretive puzzles, Craig shows how the four plays constitute one narrative, culminating in the rule of England's most famous warrior king, Henry V, whose brilliant achievements were undone by ill fortune. Craig concludes with an epilogue on what might have been had Henry lived to consolidate his conquest of France and unify it with England under a single crown. Supported by a wealth of scholarship, both historical and critical, The Philosopher's English King makes a major contribution to the burgeoning scholarship on Shakespeare as a political thinker, providing further evidence for why the poet deserves to be recognized as a philosopher in his own right. Leon Harold Craig is professor emeritus of political science at the University of Alberta.
The serious student of the Bible, and indeed all who would strive to please God, must deal with both responsibility and authority in their spiritual lives. A failure to understand or accept responsibility results in the failure to carry out the work which God has designated to be done. A lack of understanding of and respect for authority has been the basic cause of every departure from truth and the resulting divisions in the Lord's church. All religious denominations have come into existence because of these factors. These lessons have been prepared with the hope that they will help Bible students to accomplish three goals: 1. More thoroughly understand the responsibilities which every church and individual has towards both God and man. 2. Recognize the need for authority from God in every spiritual matter. 3. Learn how to apply the principles of biblical authority in the lives of both individuals and congregations. In order to learn how to apply the biblical principles which will be discussed in this study, after the prepared material has been discussed, the individual or class should examine many specific examples of doctrines, practices, and works. Our goal is that every student will then be able personally to determine the scriptural authority for everything that he or she believes and practices.
