God's Parallel Planets
Author: Jack Waggoner
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1644589923
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
When God created heaven and earth, he also created heaven and Teren. Planet Teren is identical to Earth in every respect, including its placement in a duplicate solar system. Since creation, the two parallel planets developed along almost identical lines, and when God saw that the humans on each planet were not following his commandments, he decided to send his twin sons to intercede, one son to each planet. When both sons were confronted with crucifixion, God let it stand on Earth and every other chapter gives the reader Earth's historical highlights for the past two thousand years (including each and every documented war). On planet Teren, however, God stepped in and not only resurrected Jesus but also then installed him as the CEO of the planet. From his base in Jerusalem, the Teren Jesus set the standards for human development and without war""or for that matter, any form of sin""the people of Teren turned their attention to making life meaningful, fulfilling, pleasant, and Christian. (Every other chapter documents the development on Teren over the past two thousand years.) On Earth, millions upon millions of human brains were scattered across killing field after killing field. What might have come out of those millions upon millions of lost and destroyed brains? We may find out as we take a tantalizing glimpse into life on God's Parallel Planets.

State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain: Volume 1
Author: Miguel A. Centeno
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107311306
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 485
Book Description
The growth of institutional capacity in the developing world has become a central theme in twenty-first-century social science. Many studies have shown that public institutions are an important determinant of long-run rates of economic growth. This book argues that to understand the difficulties and pitfalls of state building in the contemporary world, it is necessary to analyze previous efforts to create institutional capacity in conflictive contexts. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the process of state and nation building in Latin America and Spain from independence to the 1930s. The book examines how Latin American countries and Spain tried to build modern and efficient state institutions for more than a century - without much success. The Spanish and Latin American experience of the nineteenth century was arguably the first regional stage on which the organizational and political dilemmas that still haunt states were faced. This book provides an unprecedented perspective on the development and contemporary outcome of those state and nation-building projects.
