The The Story Behind the Bible Trilogy: Book I The Torah; Book II The Prophets; Book III The New Covenant
Author: J. K. Alexander
Publisher: Yorkshire Publishing
ISBN: 1950034860
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 719
Book Description
With facts and information, insightful commentary, and even a few flights of fantasy, The Story Behind the Bible trilogy weaves a magnetic journey through the ancient texts of the Bible for believers and non-believers alike. It's a journey that can draw readers into a universe that is larger and more incredible than they ever thought possible. A highly comprehensive overview of the entire Bible, the trilogy also proves that the prophets of scripture made impossible and miraculous predictions and prophecies concerning future events, including our current era, and virtually proves that God's hand steers the broad stream of world history. Now, over two thousand years hence, much of scripture has been misinterpreted, misapplied, or simply lost to traditions and folklore. The books address those issues with commentary and doctrine, and, through the elegant story and amazing people of the New Testament, bring the biblical story to a triumphant end.

A Brief History of the World in 47 Borders: Surprising Stories Behind the Lines on Our Maps
Author: Jonn Elledge
Publisher: The Experiment, LLC
ISBN: 1891011588
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
A fascinating and surprising history of the world told through the lines people have drawn on maps People have been drawing lines on maps for as long as there have been maps to draw on. Sometimes rooted in physical geography, sometimes entirely arbitrary, these lines might often have looked very different if a war or treaty or the decisions of a handful of tired Europeans had gone a different way. By telling the stories of these borders, we can learn a lot about how political identities are shaped, why the world looks the way it does—and about human folly. From the Roman attempts to define the boundaries of civilization, to the secret British-French agreement to carve up the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, to the reason why landlocked Bolivia still maintains a navy, this is a fascinating, witty, and surprising look at the history of the world told through its borders.
