Book Description
"BOOK DESCRIPTION" In Ron Larry's own raw and unique streetwise style, this stimulating story draws the reader into a rather suspenseful anticipation. This fascinating "tell all book" reveals some rather frightful insights into some behind the scenes exploits of a drug-drenched life. It tells of many insidious ways that a person might travel as a compulsive behavioral personality rules them. The influences and the dangers are very detrimental, not only to mind and body, but to the spiritual part of man as well. Ron explains how drug-addicts are manipulated and maneuvered by the deadly effects of all sorts of chemicals and spirits. "From the Guttermost to the Uttermost" personifies the depths of a drug-torn life that lies hopeless in perplexity. The book reveals a life on a downward spiral leading to death, imprisonment, or total destruction. The average law-abiding person is left astonished at the perils from chapter to chapter. "Guttermost." is by far a truly amazing story of how most lives were destroyed and Ron has still lived to tell about it. Grace and Mercy are shone thru this story time and time again. Most people can't imagine the shame and degradation that occurs when one's unplugged from reality and on a run of "doing their own thing." The book simply put is, for such a time as this, as drugs of all sorts flow freely in our schools and institutions of higher learning. Multitudes and scores of people shall be blessed as Ron shares his story of addiction. It is definitely a book of a run away child, running wild and it pops out at you on every other page. However, the Lord is not excluded in this story as Ron displays the awesomeness of a God of forgiveness in this drug-drenched and dying world. The inherent flaws of an addicted life runs silent and it runs deep, but not too deep for the creator of the universe to reach down and dirty His hands on us. This book will inspire your faith to rise to levels that others seldom experience. It will ignite hope, and cause it to be engrafted in you so that your life will be changed. "From the Guttermost to the Uttermost" is a story of how sin can destroy lives and set in motion trouble that seems so uncommon to men, trouble that most never imagine possible. It also reveals how God can take these same tragedies and turn them into triumphs. Ron Larry's life will inspire you to trust, hope and know that the impossible can happen to you, and miracles are yours for the asking. "From the Guttermost to the Uttermost" demonstrates a God who is faithful as promised, if we'll seek Him with unshakeable resolve to find what life is truly about. It shows that a steadfast progression to find faith in Jesus Christ will pay off in the present and in the future states of our being. God's grace is truly "amazing" as is revealed in this book. I encourage anyone to obtain several copies of "From the Guttermost to the Uttermost" and keep them on hand so that it will always be a tool ready for those that are enduring their own times of trouble. This book will be a great witnessing tool for those who have no hope, for it shows that "all is possible with God." I believe that "From the Guttermost fo the Uttermost" reveals the true nature of God for every life. I commend the author for his openness, and for sharing such intimate details about his life so that others may learn how to find their own triumph in the midst of tragedy. This novel is a must read for believers and non-believers alike. It's insightful to a world that most know nothing about. And, it gives light where there is darkness; and hope for the hopeless; and glory to the God of Mercy who forgives seventy times seventy and then some. This book will cause one to think about the very nature of Almighty God. Many will read it and say that they have never been one iota as mischievous as the character of Ron Larry. Many will cringe at the fact that their lives have been drug-free and above board. But, the whol

To the Uttermost Parts of the Earth
Author: Martti Koskenniemi
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009038206
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 1127
Book Description
To the Uttermost Parts of the Earth shows the vital role played by legal imagination in the formation of the international order during 1300–1870. It discusses how European statehood arose during early modernity as a locally specific combination of ideas about sovereign power and property rights, and how those ideas expanded to structure the formation of European empires and consolidate modern international relations. By connecting the development of legal thinking with the history of political thought and by showing the gradual rise of economic analysis into predominance, the author argues that legal ideas from different European legal systems - Spanish, French, English and German - have played a prominent role in the history of global power. This history has emerged in imaginative ways to combine public and private power, sovereignty and property. The book will appeal to readers crossing conventional limits between international law, international relations, history of political thought, jurisprudence and legal history.

Jesus Manifesto
Author: Leonard Sweet
Publisher: HarperChristian + ORM
ISBN: 1418560359
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
Jesus Manifesto presents a fresh unveiling of Jesus, seeking to restore the supremacy and sovereignty of Christ in a world—and a church—that has lost sight of Him. Christians have made the gospel about so many things—things other than Christ. Religious concepts, ideas, doctrines, strategies, and methods that begin to eclipse the beauty, the glory, and the reality of the Lord Jesus Himself. We know a lot about our Lord, but we don't know Him very well. We know a lot about trying to be like Jesus, but very little about living by His indwelling life. Jesus Manifesto provides clarity on the most important points of our faith. It is a prophetic call to restore the supremacy and sovereignty of Christ in a world and church that has lost sight of Him. This manifesto emphasizes ten crucial areas of restoring the supremacy of Jesus Christ, noting: Christians don’t follow Christianity; they follow Christ Christians don't proclaim themselves; they proclaim Christ Christians don’t point people to core values; they point people to the Cross Christians don't preach about Christ; they preach Christ Read this book to see your Lord like you've never seen Him before and restore the sovereignty of Jesus in your life.

Inclusive Urban Design: Public Toilets
Author: Clara Greed
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136396187
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
This is a unique text providing both design guidance and policy direction for the provision and design of public toilets covering city-wide, district-level and site-specific principles. It highlights the role of urban design in reversing the trend of inadequate toilet provision, and sets out guidelines for design which meets both user need and provider requirements. Greed presents the fundamental principle that toilets should not be dealt with in isolation from mainstream urban policy, but that they should be seen as a serious core component in both strategic urban policy and local area design. She argues toilets are valuable townscape features in their own right as manifestation civic pride and good urban design - essential architectural components which add to the quality and viability of an area. Although a range of design guidance on toilets exists there is still considerable dissatisfaction with the end product in terms of building design, levels of provision, location, safety, layout, DDA requirements and accessibility. By outlining user demands and provider constraints, Greed shows that it is essential for architects to have an informed understanding and practical knowledge of toilet issues when working with public and private sector providers. Examples of toilet architecture from other countries, and policies from different cultural settings, are included for comparative purposes to invigorate UK perspectives.

Disciples' Literal New Testament

Publisher: Reyma Publishing
ISBN: 9781937368036
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
If You Love God's Word You Will Love This New Testament! The Disciples' Literal New Testament sets you free from our artificial 460 year old chapter and verse structure, replacing it with paragraphing that reflects the flow of thought in the original Greek writings. Paragraph headings make that flow of thought explicit to you, speeding your understanding of the NT books. This translation retains the writing style of the apostles themselves, rather than transforming their Greek ways of writing into an elegant or contemporary English writing style, as has been beautifully done so many times. It is the same translation as the author's New Testament TransLine, first published by Zondervan in 2002. Now you can read the New Testament as the original writers intended it, and see it with a clarity formerly available only to those who could carefully study their Greek New Testament. You can even see the difference in writing style between Matthew, Mark and Luke! Used along with your standard Bible version, you will profit from both methods of translation. *Easily grasp the relationship of the whole and the parts of each book with the big-picture overview outlines that use the words of the original author. *Gain quick insight into the flow of thought from descriptive paragraph headings that summarize the main point of each paragraph in its context. *You can visually follow the apostles' thinking because the 'Intelligent Paragraphing' visually displays their main and subordinate thoughts. *The hindrance to your understanding caused by our artificial chapter and verse structure is eliminated by paragraphing based on the Greek writings. *You will more fully appreciate the minds and thinking patterns and intent of the original writers because the translation corresponds more closely to their words and their grammar and their sentence structure. *Deepen and expand your understanding of the New Testament by meditating on the notes containing alternative renderings, explanations of what is being said, and different views of the meaning.
