Book Description
The book “Haiti Shall Live Again” has clearly outlined the problems facing Haiti. Dr. Fabius not only exposed the problems, but he also provided solutions to some of the problems. This book is highly recommended to everyone who desires to learn about Haiti’s history. If you want to know about the international community meddling in Haitian politics, this book is for you. Dr. Fabius has gone beyond to provide a Godly perspective on the Haitian’s problems. He incorporated many biblical views as he tried to provide sound solutions to Haiti's problems facing the Haitian people. I strongly recommend this book to everyone in search of a better understanding of Haiti’s problems. Haiti, once known as 'La Perle des Antilles', will return to life as it did during the time of Toussaint Louverture and Dumarsais Estimé. Dr. Fabius' path is straightforward, but it doesn't come without its challenges, as truth can be difficult to accept. All the obstacles and challenges will be overcome in the New Haiti. Welcome to the new Haiti, a country that is poised to make new history again. A country that offers a prosperous and peaceful life, just as during Toussaint Louverture and Dumarsais Estimé. The invisible hand of God has been there for protection, allowing Haiti to remain resilient despite all adversity. The new Haiti will become great again due to the lessons learned from God, the past, and other countries. More than 200 years ago, hundreds of slaves from plantations across the island of Saint Domingue (Haiti) gathered for a meeting to strategize on a path toward liberation and justice. While they were unified by their shared vision of freedom, a Voodoo priestess danced in the middle of the crowd. There have been strange events that have transpired since then. According to the NPR news Analysis, Haiti had to pay France 10 times the amount the United States had paid France in the Louisiana Purchase. And to our surprise, Haiti's independence brought many benefits to the United States of America. France's actions towards the Haitian people after the Haitian Revolution are a particularly well-known example of colonial theft according to Professor Marlene Daut. This book will highlight some of the crazy ideas and seeds that Haitians have ignored for a long time. The country is now facing the consequences of the unresolved problems. This book will make a difference, as it will force and challenge Haitians everywhere to start thinking. Half of the profit of this book will go to Building Life for Haiti (BLFH) which is a nonprofit organization 501 (c) (3). BLFH.org focuses on encouraging community unity, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, and providing educational services. This is a call for action. Your gift and purchase today will restore hope and life to those in need. BLFH aims to empower men, women, and youth and educate them on business, entrepreneurship, and other topics. Teaching English is something we want to do because nearly all new job openings in Haiti require people to speak it. BLFH's objectives for Haitians are to be independent and live a life without fear. We want them to have peace of mind and expel all myths through the revelation of Jesus Christ. We believe that education, health, and wellness will eradicate many myths that are common among under-educated populations. This will help people live healthier lives, decrease medical expenses, and reduce the need to see witch doctors. Many children in Haiti are unable to find a place to go during the summer months. There is no formal or structural program that they can attend to help them develop their character further. We view Vocational Bible School as boredom while instilling good biblical principles that can help change their lives.

Book Description
Volume 8 Sermons 427-486Charles Spurgeon (19 June 1834 – 31 January 1892) is one of the church’s most famous preachers and Christianity’s foremost prolific writers. Called the “Prince of Preachers,” he was one of England's most notable ministers for most of the second half of the nineteenth century, and he still remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations today. His sermons have spread all over the world, and his many printed works have been cherished classics for decades. In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to more than 10 million people, often up to ten times each week. He was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years. He was an inexhaustible author of various kinds of works including sermons, commentaries, an autobiography, as well as books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns and more. Spurgeon was known to produce powerful sermons of penetrating thought and divine inspiration, and his oratory and writing skills held his audiences spellbound. Many Christians have discovered Spurgeon's messages to be among the best in Christian literature. Edward Walford wrote in Old and New London: Volume 6 (1878) quoting an article from the Times regarding one of Spurgeon’s meetings at Surrey: “Fancy a congregation consisting of 10,000 souls, streaming into the hall, mounting the galleries, humming, buzzing, and swarming—a mighty hive of bees—eager to secure at first the best places, and, at last, any place at all. After waiting more than half an hour—for if you wish to have a seat you must be there at least that space of time in advance—Mr. Spurgeon ascended his tribune. To the hum, and rush, and trampling of men, succeeded a low, concentrated thrill and murmur of devotion, which seemed to run at once, like an electric current, through the breast of every one present, and by this magnetic chain the preacher held us fast bound for about two hours. It is not my purpose to give a summary of his discourse. It is enough to say of his voice, that its power and volume are sufficient to reach every one in that vast assembly; of his language, that it is neither high-flown nor homely; of his style, that it is at times familiar, at times declamatory, but always happy, and often eloquent; of his doctrine, that neither the 'Calvinist' nor the 'Baptist' appears in the forefront of the battle which is waged by Mr. Spurgeon with relentless animosity, and with Gospel weapons, against irreligion, cant, hypocrisy, pride, and those secret bosom-sins which so easily beset a man in daily life; and to sum up all in a word, it is enough to say of the man himself, that he impresses you with a perfect conviction of his sincerity.” More than a hundred years after his death, Charles Spurgeon’s legacy continues to effectively inspire the church around the world. For this reason, Delmarva Publications has chosen to republish the complete works of Charles Spurgeon.

Book Description
The first anthology of Jewish mythology in English, Tree of Souls reveals a mythical tradition as rich and as fascinating as any in the world. Drawing from the Bible, the Pseudepigrapha, the Talmud and Midrash, the kabbalistic literature, medieval folklore, Hasidic texts, and oral lore collected in the modern era, Schwartz has gathered together nearly 700 of the key Jewish myths. The myths themselves are marvelous. We read of Adams diamond and the Land of Eretz (where it is always dark), the fall of Lucifer and the quarrel of the sun and the moon, the Treasury of Souls and the Divine Chariot. We discover new tales about the great figures of the Hebrew Bible, from Adam to Moses; stories about God's Bride, the Shekhinah, and the evil temptress, Lilith; plus many tales about angels and demons, spirits and vampires, giant beasts and the Golem. Equally important, Schwartz provides a wealth of additional information. For each myth, he includes extensive commentary, revealing the source of the myth and explaining how it relates to other Jewish myths as well as to world literature (for instance, comparing Eves release of evil into the world with Pandoras). For ease of use, Schwartz divides the volume into ten books, Myths of God, Myths of Creation, Myths of Heaven, Myths of Hell, Myths of the Holy Word, Myths of the Holy Time, Myths of the Holy People, Myths of the Holy Land, Myths of Exile, and Myths of the Messiah.

Book Description
This essential introduction to Judaism’s notions of spirit as they relate to God is designed to inform both Jews and Christians who are studying what it means when we say that God is spirit. Exploring the Hebrew Bible, Midrash, and other rabbinic writings, Rabbi Timoner uncovers surprising insights about how God as spirit influences Jewish ideas of creation, revelation, and redemption. Written with an accessible and engaging voice, full of stories and relevant teachings, Breath of Life speaks to lay readers and scholars alike, as it pursues a new perspective on Judaism’s sacred texts. This book promises Christian readers meaningful insights on their own notions of God as Holy Spirit while giving Jewish readers a new look at their own tradition. "In easy but deceptively profound language, Rachel Timoner deftly savors the essential unknowability of God, the ubiquity of Torah and the mystery of redemption. She’s given us an immensely literate and serious, contemporary Jewish theology. Breath of Life is a spiritual tour de force.” -Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, Scholar in residence at Congregation Emanu-El of San Francisco, and author of many books including Kabbalah: A Love Story "Any reader keen to cultivate a robust spirituality should read this little book. Jews and Christians may discover here something to talk about—scriptures we share and a quality of God we have in common.” -John R. (Jack) Levison, author of Filled with the Spirit; Professor of New Testament, Seattle Pacific University
