Sister Mary Jacalyn was a nun in German Village, Columbus, Ohio, in the 1800s. She was tried and convicted in the disappearance and deaths of over one hundred young girls. Now, in 2007, she has returned with vengeance in mind, and the towns of Columbus and Port Clinton will never be the same as the nun uses her otherworldly abilities to wreak havoc. Sister Mary has the power to alter and recreate a person’s reality as well as control people’s feelings. All over Columbus, residents are feeling her wrath. David, Deanne, and their friends have now returned but are in for a very personal touch. According to the nun, someone opened the portal that connects this world to hers, and they must fix it. Unless the portal is closed, she threatens to force David and his friends into realities of her own making, over and over. If the portal remains open, the group of friends will become lost to another world and another reality. Sister Mary has offered them a chance to end the madness; they must find a way to close the portal or be forever lost wandering the in-between.
What does it mean to be a God-glorifying baseball player? Diamond Gems: Life Lessons between the Lines reminds Christian athletes and coaches of God's mandate to "proclaim the excellencies of Him" while on the field of play. Each chapter teaches a fundamental baseball principle and uses that concept as a means to establish an even greater connection with an essential doctrine of the Christian faith. This book is much more than a Christian devotional about baseball. It is a strong reminder of the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ and how it manifests itself through the life of a Christian baseball player. It is a helpful tool for those who desire to establish a stronger foundation both as a Christian and as a baseball player. David Ray is a former high school baseball coach and currently serves as principal of Lorraine Elementary School in Georgia. He played baseball at the University of Kentucky and has been drafted professionally by the Oakland A's, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Kansas City Royals.

This book “A Visit to Nicaea” is a search for truths and untruths in the Bible. Originally written by unknown Jewish scribes in the Hebrew and Greek languages, the Bible is the only source for many ancient and religious events. Nicaea was a small town in the 4th century AD, located near the Turkish city of İznik about 80 miles SE of Constantinople, and was the site where religious leaders convened in 325 CE to begin the process of creating the first Christian Bible. The Bible was finally canonized in 419 AD and Christianity was declared to be the official religion of the empire. Christianity at that time was only one of many religions that existed in the ancient world. Unfortunately, over time, the early Bible would receive numerous changes and eventually morph into many versions, resulting in a host of many beliefs and practices. This book begins with a review and discussion of recent scientific discoveries about early earth and primitive life as compared to what is written in the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, and then provides a summary of all the chapters of the Bible. It tries to provide an understanding of the seemingly unswerving faith that many religious practitioners have in the infallibility and power in the Bible, even though it has been shown to be seriously flawed. This book also presents the results of numerous biblical experts throughout the world who have reviewed and commented on the validity of many ancient writings, including a fascinating in-depth look into the Bible.

First Published in 2001. The purpose of this curriculum guide is to help student teachers and newly qualified teachers to make a start on learning how to become competent teachers of English. Despite the emphasis given in training courses to the teaching of English, newly qualified teachers often feel underprepared for it and frequently mention their concerns about this. These concerns can be partly explained by a general lack of confidence in this key area and partly by widespread media and political criticism of the teaching of literacy. It is also because it is often difficult for a student to make the connection between observation of key teaching strategies and his or her own personal practice.
There once was a king of a mighty empire, and this powerful king picked YOU as his favorite subject. He was always doing you great favors, watching over your every need. He lavished great riches upon you every day. Would you like to be a subject in such a kingdom? This is what the Bible says it is like to be a follower of Jesus Christ. In this book, More and More, are principles which will show you how to grow more and more in your enjoyment of the riches of this kingdom. I am dazzled by what he has written and enthusiastically recommend it to you for consideration. Walter started his college career graduating as an engineering major at MIT, and subsequently received a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies from Princeton Theological Seminary. He then spent decades as a Prebyterian minister before his retirement. I believe only someone like Walter with his complex spiritual background could have produced such a book. Here is a short quote from the first chapter: "The closer I get to Jesus Christ, the more intimately I want to know Him. The more I praise Him the more fully I realize how great he is. The better I know him the more I want to experience his love and personality. The objective of this book is to help you realize that there is more to the Christian life than you have experienced at this point in your life." To gain an impression of the manuscript’s scope look at the fresh material in the table of contents. — Dr. James D. Likens, Professor of Economics Emeritus, Pomona College Walter Ray takes you on a journey which begins by asking if you have ever had that sneaking suspicion that there is more to your faith than you are currently experiencing? With significant insight and wisdom Dr. Ray then enables you to examine passages of scripture which wrestle with the value of free will, the sovereignty of God, the debilitating nature of racism, the heart of the Gospel, how to respond when disaster strikes, the existence of evil, and actively discerning God’s will. If you are looking for a good read that will cause you to think and think deeply about your life and the centrality of faith in it, this may well be a book for you. — Dr. Richard Gibbons, Senior Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Greenville, South Carolina Filled with a plethora of biblical wisdom and practical application, Walter Ray’s new book More and More is a great book about practical Christian living. It’s my pleasure to recommend it to anyone serious about growing closer to Christ. — Tim Peck, Senior Pastor, Glenkirk Church, Glendora, California

Few Christians realize nearly every problem in life stems from an unwillingness to forgive someone. When we hold grudges, seek retribution, and blame others, we end up hurting our relationships with God and people—and short-circuit our ability to live the Christian live the way it's meant to be lived. Why is forgiveness so difficult at times? Must we forgive when it's the other person's fault? How should we handle repeat offenses? What if we feel we can't forgive because we've been hurt so badly? Pritchard answers these questions and more by pointing to God's example as the Supreme Forgiver. When we learn to forgive in the way He forgives, then we'll know true freedom, peace, and emotional healing.
The Noblest Vol. II is a collection of some of the work of a small group of people from different walks of life who came together in a writing workshop given at the Noble Maritime Collection. Together, we shared our writings, we listened to each other, and we grew into a family of friends. As you read their thoughts, their ideas, their stories, you will come to glimpse them as I have been privileged to do. Their poems, stories, and memoirs speak for themselves. They have opened their hearts and souls in their writings. Tread softly as you read our works and enter into our lives. We hope our writing speaks to you and that you find a friend or two in these pages and that the words conjure memories, stimulate imagination, take you to special places, and give you pause to think.

In Christianity today, most prayers and ceremonies are validated and punctuated by such phrases as, 'In Jesus' Name!' 'In the name of Jesus!' and 'In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit)!' However, this book unveils the Name of Jesus Christ (Hashem Yeshua HaMoshiach), according to the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation as: the intrinsic essence of His Being; the Person of the Lord Himself; the sphere of the incarnated, crucified, resurrected, ascended Jesus as the glorified God-man; the aggregate of all His accomplishments, attainments and obtainments and much, much more ...
-Who is this man that calms the wind and the sea? -He is the voice: "Come follow me." -"Behold now is the accepted time, behold now is the day of salvation" (2 Cor. 6:2). -"Behold, I stand at the door and knock" (Rev. 3:20). In the middle of this chaotic world, there is a calm. "Be still and know I am God" (Ps. 46:10). It started a few years ago when I watched a Dr. Phil show. I saw on the floor a life-measuring stick: zero to eighty years of age. It hit me at the age of sixty-five. I was two steps from the end. That is how I started my journey through life with my Savior. I refer to it as a revolving-door experience. I walked through the doors of this book and took a two-year journey with the Lord through the pages of this book. I came out the other side humbled and a changed man. I know and believe Romans 6:23. "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Since cinema's earliest beginnings, there has been friction between producers and directors. Shady accounting practices, which favored the distributors at the expense of the filmmakers, were all too common, causing many filmmakers to form independent companies to make and distribute their own product. This book examines six such low-budget exploitation companies--Associated Distributors Productions, Filmgroup, Hemisphere Pictures, American General Pictures, Independent-International Pictures, Dimension Pictures, and the author's own American-Independent Productions. A brief history of each company, laced with quotes from the company's principals, is presented, followed by a filmography that lists all known credits for that company.
