Book Description
ACloser Look devotionals are intended to encourage the reader to take a closer look at individual scripture passages rather than attempt to read a defined number of Bible chapters each day. Included in this series is a number of devotions on the parables of Jesus. The parables of Jesus were stories similar to metaphors intended to illustrate spiritual lessons. They were used to guide those who believed in Christ into deeper truths of the kingdom of God. Jesus stated that the skeptics would not understand the intended messages. “Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand” (Luke 8:10). Several of the parables in this text are kingdom of heaven parables. The author finds these parables extra special as they give insight into the importance of how men should live just as Jesus taught men to pray—“thy kingdom come”—as man lives in the presence of God’s kingdom and in the presence of His dear Son Jesus Christ. Emmanuel–God with us.

A Closer Look at Islam
Author: Syed B Ali
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 152451697X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
Religious leaders and reformers have always had a hard time in their day. They have been ridiculed and rejected and many of those who supposedly accepted them have been either weak in spirit or manifest enemies in disguise. Subsequent generations of the faithful have clashed in their understanding of the master’s teachings, spawning the rise of different interpretations. Moses and Jesus were troubled not only by their enemies but also by weak people among the faithful. Islam was not destined to fare much better. Historical accuracy was sacrificed to meet the needs of a divided community. And in due course, Islam’s sacred scripture, essentially a compilation of revelations to Muhammad, was hijacked by literalists, who distorted its message. A Closer Look at Islam attempts to show that the arguments of some critics are based largely on misinformation and that Islam would be better understood by a more serious study of its scripture and the lives of some of its role models. It also discusses poorly based conjectures that Muhammad was more myth than fact and the arguments of prominent atheists about the existence of a Supreme Creator.

A CLOSER LOOK OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH (A Handbook Guide for Novice Researcher)
Author: Dwi Poedjiastutie
Publisher: UMMPress
ISBN: 9797965279
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
Qualitative approaches are now growing its popularity among novice researchers. Thus, they need to be well-informed step by step in conducting the qualitative studies. Particularly, this book will benefit students who keen to focus on finding solution on the language related issues and concerns. A number of features are provided for novice scholars and researchers in order to be able to select the appropriate design for their study. The first feature is detail characteristic information on each type of the research approach. Each approach is elaborated in detail manner so that readers will possess comprehensible input of what and when a particular approach will be appropriately selected and employed. The detail characteristics of each approach in qualitative have been discussed in many research methodology books published earlier. However, this book can be used as the supplementary resources for those who specifically focus on the qualitative approach when they are dealing for the first time and more specifically for the language research and its related issues. The second feature is the example of each approach. Since qualitative approaches have a lot of similarities, the researchers are supposed to have careful thought when selecting a particular approach. This can be very difficult for novice researchers. Therefore, in order to guide them selecting the most appropriate approach for their study, the examples of the previous research using similar approach are provided. The examples of the previous research on each particular approach are carefully chosen so that it possibly relates and represents Indonesiancontexts. Another distinguished feature of this book is supplied the information on several common fallacies that scholars or novice researcher usually argue about the qualitative approach. For example, many novice researchers in Indonesian context still believe that in qualitative approach, they are not supposed to use numerical data. That might not be true. The discussion on some fallacies like the above-mentioned example hopefully can guide them to have no more doubts of employing qualitative approach.

A Closer Look at Sectoral Financial Linkages in Brazil I
Author: Ms.Izabela Karpowicz
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1513537970
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
Understanding the interplay between firms’ balance sheets and the macro-economic environment is important for understanding of the Brazilian economy. A close examination of developments in the nonfinancial corporate sector up to the early 2015 reveals weak equity growth, declining profitability, and rising leverage. The empirical work suggests that adverse shocks to financial variables lead to weaker real GDP growth in Brazil through their effect on corporate leverage, borrowing costs, and default frequencies. An estimation based on a DSGE model with financial frictions indicates that the recent economic downturn in Brazil is largely driven by a decrease in total factor productivity and by negative financial shocks.
