Book Description
Your life is at stake, worse than that your soul is in jeopardy. A New World Order has been established taking control of food, finance, politics, and religions. Those who refuse to obey not taking the Mark of the Beast. The chip in their forehead or hand is hunted. If caught, they are put in concentration camps to re-indoctrinate them. Still, if they do not comply, they are tortured and, in time, beheaded. History has a way of repeating itself, especially when the world does not learn the lessons it teaches. “There is peace in our time, no major wars in over twenty-one months. Israel and the Arab nations are working together, the Jewish Temple is being rebuilt, a red heifer has been located for temple sacrifice. I as your world leader, I will ensure stability throughout the world as it has never been before. Commerce will continue to grow, topping all trade records larger merchant ships will be built to supply the world and feed the hungry. Babylon will become a great world trade center. I Noyllopa will make this happen. You have seen my supernatural powers at work, I call fire down from Heaven, and it comes, I heal the masses of diseases and bring back the dead. I am your savior, show your loyalty to me, and all will be well.” Chris and his friends know who this charismatic leader really is, his real name is Apollyon, the destroyer, also known as an anti-Christ. Chris and many other faithful, true Christians are learning how to evade the evil forces and survive in the mountains. They are bringing lost souls to Christ, making disciples and teaching them to become self-reliant. As an evangelist doing street ministry, I am limited to how many I can reach and disciple. Yet, as an author, It is my hope. and with the inspiration of our Creator, thousands, perhaps millions can be reached, turned from their selfish ways, take up their cross and follow our Saviour. “Thy kingdom come. they will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven.” Matthew 6:10 KJV If you are a voracious reader as I am, I hope you will devour this book, chew on the words, digest them and assimilate them into every fiber of your soul. Your epicurean cuisine will taste of humor, romance, adventure, thunderbolt miracles, fighting evil, hope, faith, enduring love, and perseverance. Developing compassion and passion for the saving grace of lost souls. Join me on this adventure into the near future, learning how to witness and survive in the days ahead. Failure is not an option, we do the difficult today, the impossible in due time. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 KJV

Truth on Fire
Author: Adam Ramsey
Publisher: The Good Book Company
ISBN: 1784986496
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
Knowing God truly, experiencing Him deeply. What would it look like to genuinely love God with our head AND our heart? To have a faith marked by right thinking AND right feeling? To know God deeply AND worship him passionately? Too often, Christians act as though these things are at odds with one another. But what if God intends for us to possess a Christianity that is radically committed to biblical truth, in a way that did not diminish the life of the heart, but actually intensified it? Adam Ramsey invites us to engage both our minds and our emotions in our walk with God as we gaze at him until our hearts sing. He sums it up like this: "My hope in these following pages is to paint a biblical portrait of what God is actually like, so that we can gaze upon him together until our hearts can’t help but sing. To behold him in such a way that our daily experience is transformed with a deepened awareness of who it is we pray to, who it is that is with us, and who it is that we are loved by. To let God’s truth set our hearts on fire." If you yearn for God but desire a clearer biblical picture of this God whom you love, or if you have been walking with God for a while now, but your experience of him has become settled or dry, then this book is for you.

Inside Terrorism
Author: Bruce Hoffman
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231510462
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 473
Book Description
Bruce Hoffman's Inside Terrorism has remained a seminal work for understanding the historical evolution of terrorism and the terrorist mindset. In this revised edition of the classic text, Hoffman analyzes the new adversaries, motivations, and tactics of global terrorism that have emerged in recent years, focusing specifically on how al Qaeda has changed since 9/11; the reasons behind its resiliency, resonance, and longevity; and its successful use of the Internet and videotapes to build public support and gain new recruits. Hoffman broadens the discussion by evaluating the potential repercussions of the Iraqi insurgency, the use of suicide bombers, terrorist exploitation of new communications media, and the likelihood of a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear terrorist strike. Closer to home, Hoffman reconsiders the Timothy McVeigh case and the threats posed by American Christian white supremacists and abortion opponents as well as those posed by militant environmentalists and animal rights activists. He argues that the attacks on the World Trade Center fundamentally transformed the West's view of the terrorist threat. More relevant and necessary than ever, Inside Terrorism continues to be the definitive work on the history and future of global terrorism.

The Cultic Milieu
Author: Jeffrey S. Kaplan
Publisher: Rowman Altamira
ISBN: 075911658X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
In 1999, a seemingly incongruous collection of protestors converged in Seattle to shut down the meetings of the World Trade Organization. Union leaders, environmentalists dressed as endangered turtles, mainstream Christian clergy, violence-advocating anarchists, gay and lesbian activists, and many other diverse groups came together to protest what they saw as the unfair power of a nondemocratic elite. But how did such strange bedfellows come together? And can their unity continue? In 1972—another period of social upheaval—sociologist Colin Campbell posited a 'cultic milieu': An underground region where true seekers test hidden, forgotten, and forbidden knowledge. Ideas and allegiances within the milieu change as individuals move between loosely organized groups, but the larger milieu persists in opposition to the dominant culture. Jeffrey Kaplan and Helene Loow find Campbell's theory especially useful in coming to grips with the varied oppositional groups of today. While the issues differ, current subcultures often behave in similar ways to deviant groups of the past. The Cultic Milieu brings together scholars looking at racial, religious and environmental oppositional groups as well as looking at the watchdog groups that oppose these groups in turn. While providing fascinating information on their own subjects, each essay contributes to a larger understanding of our present-day cultic milieu. For classes in the social sciences or religious studies, The Cultic Milieu offers a novel way to look at the interactions and ideas of those who fight against the powerful in our global age.

Ethnographies of Waiting
Author: Manpreet K. Janeja
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000183769
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
We all wait – in traffic jams, passport offices, school meal queues, for better weather, an end to fighting, peace. Time spent waiting produces hope, boredom, anxiety, doubt, or uncertainty. Ethnographies of Waiting explores the social phenomenon of waiting and its centrality in human society. Using waiting as a central analytical category, the book investigates how waiting is negotiated in myriad ways. Examining the politics and poetics of waiting, Ethnographies of Waiting offers fresh perspectives on waiting as the uncertain interplay between doubting and hoping, and asks "When is time worth the wait?" Waiting thus conceived is intrinsic to the ethnographic method at the heart of the anthropological enterprise. Featuring detailed ethnographies from Japan, Georgia, England, Ghana, Norway, Russia and the United States, a Foreword by Craig Jeffrey and an Afterword by Ghassan Hage, this is a vital contribution to the field of anthropology of time and essential reading for students and scholars in anthropology, sociology and philosophy.
