In this day and age, it can be hard to find things to keep our faith strong. We're so distracted by the minor things in life, television, money, work, we forget to focus on the major things, like our spiritual well-being. God for Today helps you overcome that problem. It relates God with things in our everyday lives, like credit cards, trees, and mail. These simple, overlooked things become reminders of God's presence in our lives. In just a handful of minutes, items like these can become powerful tokens of our connection to God. This Christian book is intended to be used as a daily devotional, so you can receive the reminder multiple times. It contains twenty days of ways to relate the life we have, to the God that has given us that life. God for Today is a very practical, non-religious book that will teach you to see God in the smallest things in your everyday life.
This book explores crosslinguistic influence in third language acquisition, drawing insights from a study of young bilingual secondary school students in Germany to unpack the importance of different variables in the acquisition and use of English as an additional language. Lorenz draws on data from a learner corpus of written and spoken picture descriptions toward analyzing sources of crosslinguistic influence in L3 acquisition in bilingual heritage speakers with unbalanced proficiency in heritage versus majority languages as compared with their monolingual German peers. This unique approach allows for a clearer understanding of the extent of influence of access to heritage languages, the impact of being a "balanced" vs "unbalanced" bilingual speaker, and the importance of extra-linguistic variables, such as age, gender, socio-economic status, and type of school. The final two chapters highlight practical considerations for the English language classroom and the implications of the study for future directions for research on third language acquisition. With its detailed overview of L2 and L3 acquisition and contribution toward ongoing debates on the advantages of being bilingual and multilingual, this book will be of interest to students and scholars in applied linguistics, foreign language acquisition, foreign language teaching, and learner corpus research.
SPIRIT AND LIFE." Perhaps a presumptuous title, but the authors feel that this collection of songs will bring enthusiasm and vigor into any Sunday school or church service where it may be used, so that in the ordinary sense of the words the title is not an inappropriate one. We trust, however, that our songs will also bring the deeper, truer blessing of the SPIRIT AND LIFE: that abide in the words of Christ... -from the Preface Subtitled "A Collection of Songs for the Sunday School, Young People's Societies, Devotional Meetings, and Revival Services," this hymnal, dating from 1894, features a glorious selection of graceful, prayerful hymns, some written by the authors: . "How You Grow" celebrate children . "The Christmas Bells" rings with the sounds of the holiday . "There's a Light at the River" lends hope in difficult times . "In the Newness of Life" rejoices in the trust of Jesus . and many more. Complete with sheet music and lyrics, these beautiful songs continue to inspire faith and exult in the Lord. OF INTEREST TO: performers of devotional music AUTHOR BIO: EDMUND SIMON LORENZ (1854-1942) and DAVID ELIJAH DORTCH (b. 1851) wrote numerous books on church music; Lorenz founded the Lorenz Music Publishing Company of Dayton, Ohio.
Deployment of forces in hostile or unfamiliar environments is inherently risky. The changing missions and increasing use of U.S. forces around the globe in operations other than battle call for greater attention to threats of non-battle-related health problemsâ€"including infections, pathogen- and vector-borne diseases, exposure to toxicants, and psychological and physical stressâ€"all of which must be avoided or treated differently from battle casualties. The likelihood of exposure to chemical and biological weapons adds to the array of tactical threats against which protection is required. The health consequences of physical and psychological stress, by themselves or through interaction with other threats, are also increasingly recognized. In addition, the military's responsibility in examining potential health and safety risks to its troops is increasing, and the spectrum of health concerns is broadening, from acute illness and injury due to pathogens and accidents to possible influences of low-level chemical exposures, which can manifest themselves in reproductive health and chronic illnesses years later, perhaps even after cessation of military service. Strategies to Protect the Health of Deployed U.S. Forces develops an analytical framework for assessing risks, which would encompass the risks of adversed health effects from battle injuries, including those from chemical- and biological-warfare agents, and non-battle-related health problems. The presumed spectrum of deployment ranged from peacekeeping to full-scale conflict.
Seldom is humanity shocked by a revelation so profound.' We are now in the twenty-first century and the runes are an enigma of the modern age. Amid an extensive body of work that has enveloped these ancient glyphs, none consider the importance of geometry; to analyse their shapes for consistencies that may reveal an underlying intelligence. In the eyes of science, runic geometry has little value. Science has conceptualised the rune without considering the significant function of geometry - a naive and erroneous approach. Runic symbols are predominantly linear (built up from a mixture of vertical and/or diagonal lines that coalesce to give the rune its characteristic shape). While science believes this peculiarity is consistent with the period of carving in wood or stone, it is thought their shapes encode an archaic wisdom, a knowledge that has been sought after for well over a thousand years, and attempts to unlock this illusive code continue today. In this ground-breaking text, I unlock this legendary code. I reveal how the runes have been misconstrued over the centuries to what we find today. Contained within them are the remnants of an ancient geometric cipher and a myriad of arcane information, the likes of which has not been seen for over two thousand years, and the implications are staggering.
These very profound and learned Commentaries on the early history of the Church were composed not long before the author's death, and, of course, contain his most matured thoughts and opinions on the important and interesting topics discussed. In this work he aims not only to give a good general History of the period over which the work extends, but also to embrace a thorough and candid Discussion, conducted on sound historical principles, of all the obscure and difficult points in this portion of ecclesiastical history. The general History he includes in his text, which is broke into short sections or paragraphs: the Discussion follows, in the form of notes or commentaries, constituting much the larger part of the work, and that in which he cites or refers to all the material testimonies of the ancients, and fully discusses their import and value, according to his maturest judgment. --from the Preface
