Book Description
New York Times bestselling author and six-time WWE champion Chris Jericho shares 20 of his most valuable lessons for achieving your goals and living the life you want. Chris Jericho has known what he wanted out of life since he was a teenager: to be a pro wrestler and to be in a rock 'n' roll band. Most of his high school friends felt that he lacked the tools necessary to get into either, but Chris believed in himself. With the wise words of Master Yoda echoing through his head ("Do or do not. There is no try."), he made it happen. As a result, Chris has spent a lifetime doing instead of merely trying, managing to achieve his dreams while learning dozens of invaluable lessons along the way. No Is a Four-Letter Word distills more than two decades of showbiz wisdom and advice into twenty easy-to-carry chapters, including: Developing a strong work ethic thanks to WWE chairman Vince McMahon, Remembering to always look like a star from Gene Simmons of KISS, Learning to let it go when the America's Funniest Home Videos hosting gig goes to his rival, Adopting a sense of perpetual reinvention from the late David Bowie, Making sure to sell himself like his NHL-legend father Ted Irvine taught him, and Going the extra mile to meet Keith Richards (with an assist from Jimmy Fallon). Now, in the hopes that those same principles might help and inspire his legions of fans, Chris has decided to share them while recounting the fantastic and hilarious stories that led to the birth of these rules. The result is a fun, entertaining, practical, and inspiring book from the man with many scarves but only one drive: to be the best. After reading No Is a Four-Letter Word, you'll discover that you might have what it takes to succeed as well...you just need to get out there and do it. That's what Jericho would do.

THE BATTLE OF JERICHO: Myth or Fact?
Author: Edward D. Andrews
Publisher: Christian Publishing House
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
"The Battle of Jericho: Myth or Fact?" is a comprehensive exploration into one of the most debated events in Biblical archaeology. Authored by a conservative Evangelical Christian Apologist and Biblical Archaeologist, this scholarly work delves deeply into the historical and archaeological evidence surrounding the ancient city of Jericho, famously known for its walls that collapsed at the blast of Joshua’s trumpet as recounted in the Bible. Structured in a systematic and detailed manner, the book begins with an introductory overview of biblical archaeology, providing readers with essential methodologies, tools, and principles used in archaeological research. It establishes the foundational techniques for uncovering and interpreting historical data, emphasizing the comparative value of archaeology in illuminating biblical narratives. Subsequent chapters are devoted to a chronological examination of the key archaeological expeditions at Jericho, from Charles Warren's pioneering 1868 excavation to the ongoing Italian-Palestinian Jericho Expedition's research up to 2023. Each chapter meticulously analyzes the objectives, findings, methodologies, and historical impacts of the respective excavations, presenting a critical assessment of their contributions to both archaeology and biblical scholarship. Particularly noteworthy is the detailed discussion of the contrasting findings and interpretations of archaeologists such as John Garstang, who supported the biblical timeline, and Kathleen Kenyon, whose conclusions challenged it. The book revisits Bryant G. Wood’s critical contributions in the 1980s and 1990s, reevaluating earlier findings and offering new perspectives based on pottery analysis and radiocarbon dating techniques. The culmination of these discussions leads to an in-depth analysis of the walls of Jericho, examining their construction, the evidence of their destruction by fire, and the lessons these findings provide for both archaeology and faith. The narrative then synthesizes all archaeological data to address the central question: "Was the Battle of Jericho a myth or a historical fact?" Looking forward, the final chapters discuss the future of biblical archaeology with a focus on emerging trends, innovations, and the increasing role of digital tools in enhancing archaeological accuracy. It also considers the ethical implications of excavating sacred sites, emphasizing the need for collaborative endeavors that respect cultural and spiritual heritage. "The Battle of Jericho: Myth or Fact?" is designed for a diverse audience, appealing to academic scholars, students of archaeology and biblical studies, and lay readers interested in the historical validity of biblical events. This volume seeks to affirm the historical reliability of the Bible through rigorous academic inquiry, grounded in a steadfast faith in its divine inspiration.

Arch forces, led by a battle-weary Michael, find that they are outmatched by the hybrid threat Imperial as they must adhere to an archaic rule.

Languages : en
Pages : 605
Book Description
It was a childlike question, but the answer was as stunning as it was profound. If God is light, what do the primary colors of the rainbow's spectrum signify? The Gospel of John declares in eight mysterious signs that God is light and Jesus Christ in the flesh was God sent to bring the light of true life to us. These enigmatic signs of light, semeion, imply the eight signs' significance pointed to something other than what they appeared. The themes of John's eight signs match the themes of the Feasts given to ancient Israel at Mount Sinai and a sequence of YHWH's covenant names. Behold, I AM is a rich, in-depth study into God's Holyday appointed times, His eight Festivals of Light, what they meant then, what they mean today, and how they are fulfilling prophecy.
