Civilization’s Last Hurrah
by Gary G. CohenCivilization's Last Hurrah is a Bible prophecy novel. That is, it attempts to show in a fictional story just how the events prophesied for the end of this age may actually unfold. The reader must understand that while many of the coming great events of Bible prophecy are quite clearly explained in the Scriptures, yet numerous details still remain a mystery to us today. In this book the author has hazarded his own opinions-- often guesses-- as to how some of these details will actually occur.
Civilizing the Museum: The Collected Writings of Elaine Heumann Gurian
by Elaine Heumann GurianWritten over a thirty-five year career, the essays in Civilizing the Museum introduce students to the powerful, sometimes contested, and often unrealized notion that museums should welcome all because they house the collective memory of all. Drawing on her experience working in and with museums in the US and throughout the world, Author Elaine Heumann Gurian explores the possibilities for making museums more central and relevant to society. The twenty-two essays are organized around five main themes: * museum definitions* civic responsibility and social service* architectural spaces* exhibitions* spirituality and rationality. And these themes address the elements that would make museums more inclusive such as: * exhibition technique* space configurations* the personality of the director* the role of social service* power sharing* types of museums* the need for emotion humour and spirituality. Without abandoning the traditional museum processes, Gurian shows how museums can honour tradition whilst embracing the new. Enriched by her experience in groundbreaking museums, Gurian has provided a book that provokes thought, dialogue and action for students and professionals in the field to realize the inclusive potential of museums.
Ciência Simples e Efetiva Para a Auto Realização
by Dada BhagwanO que todos os seres vivos (jivas) procuram? Estão procurando a felicidade, mas a felicidade é de curta duração. Pessoas buscam nos casamentos, vão ao teatro por entretenimento, mas suas insatisfações sempre voltam. Quando a infelicidade segue a felicidade, como você pode chamar isso de felicidade? Isso é ilusão de felicidade. Isso não é senão felicidade temporária, uma felicidade imaginária. A felicidade deve ser permanente. O que é que cada alma (atma) está procurando? Ela está à procura da felicidade, a felicidade que é eterna. As pessoas acreditam, “Isto (felicidade) virá através disso ou daquilo. Vou comprar isso. Eu vou fazer isso, vou construir um bangalô, então eu vou ser feliz. Eu vou comprar um carro, então eu serei feliz.” Elas continuam fazendo isso, mas a felicidade verdadeira nunca chega. Pelo contrário, elas afundam cada vez mais na lama de dor e confusão. A verdadeira felicidade está dentro de nós. Encontra-se no próprio Ser (Self). Portanto, se você alcançar o Ser, você alcança a felicidade eterna).

Claiming Belonging: Muslim American Advocacy in an Era of Islamophobia
by Emily CuryClaiming Belonging dives deep into the lives of Muslim American advocacy groups in the post-9/11 era, asking how they form and function within their broader community in a world marked by Islamophobia. Bias incidents against Muslim Americans reached unprecedented levels a few short years ago, and many groups responded through action—organizing on the national level to become increasingly visible, engaged, and assertive.Emily Cury draws on more than four years of participant observation and interviews to examine how Muslim American organizations have sought to access and influence the public square and, in so doing, forge a political identity. The result is an engaging and unique study, showing that policy advocacy, both foreign and domestic, is best understood as a sphere where Muslim American identity is performed and negotiated.Claiming Belonging offers ever-timely insight into the place of Muslims in American political life and, in the process, sheds light on one of the fastest-growing and most internally dynamic American minority groups.

Claiming Resurrection in the Dying Church
by Anna B. OlsonHow do you minister faithfully to a congregation that is in decline? While many congregations struggle with trying to find the key to regrowth, pastor Anna Olson suggests that the answer may actually be to accept and embrace this moment for what it is. In this beautifully written work, Olson helps pastors recognize that, while the congregation might be going away, the community of which it is a part is still very much alive. Using her own experiences in a dying congregation, Olson encourages pastors to use this opportunity to explore new ways to minister, freely and selflessly, and provides a powerful model of what faithfulness to the gospel looks like. This hopeful book about letting go of false hope gives pastors the guidance they need for ministering effectively during the final stages of a church's life.
Claiming Society for God: Religious Movements and Social Welfare (Encounters: Explorations in Folklore and Ethnomusicology)
by Robert V. Robinson Nancy J. DavisThe nonviolent ways orthodox religious groups achieve social power and influence: a &“brilliant&” study of four movements in the US and abroad (Wendell Bell, Yale University). Gold Medal Winner, Independent Publisher Book AwardsClaiming Society for God focuses on common strategies used by religiously orthodox (what some would call &“fundamentalist&”) movements around the world. Rather than using armed struggle or terrorism, as much of post-9/11 thinking suggests, these movements use a patient, under-the-radar strategy of taking over civil society. Claiming Society for God tells the stories of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the Sephardi Torah Guardians or Shas in Israel, Comunione e Liberazione in Italy, and the Salvation Army in the United States, showing how these movements, grounded in a communitarian theology, are building massive grassroots networks of religiously based social service agencies, hospitals and clinics, rotating credit societies, schools, charitable organizations, worship centers, and businesses. These networks are already being called states within states, surrogate states, or parallel societies, and in Egypt brought the Muslim Brotherhood to control of parliament and the presidency. This bottom-up, entrepreneurial strategy is aimed at making religion the cornerstone of society. &“Sociology at its very best…professionally researched and analyzed, both pragmatic and theoretical, overwhelmingly convincing, and an important corrective to a lot of current beliefs…a great read—fascinating from beginning to end.&”—Wendell Bell, Yale University, author of Foundations of Futures Studies

Clash of Kingdoms: What the Bible Says about Russia, ISIS, Iran, and the End Times
by Dr David Jeremiah Charles Dyer Mark TobeyFrom the bestselling authors of The Rise of Babylon and The ISIS Crisis, the essential guide for Christians about what Bible prophecy foretells concerning current events in the Middle East—especially the rise of ISIS and the resurgence of Russia—while providing a way to find peace and hope in the face of end times concerns. ISIS, Russia, and Iran are daily atop headlines and are among chief sources of intensifying unease among Americans about how current world conflicts will unfold. Using the Old Testament texts of prophets Ezekiel and Daniel as foundational passages, Bible experts Charles Dyer and Mark Tobey explain the connection between Bible prophecy and real-time events such as the growing alliance between Russia and Iran; the unsettling of the region as ISIS ravages countries and redraws boundaries; and the pull of Turkey and Saudi Arabia into the fray by Russian encroachment, Iranian meddling, and the United States’ inability to create and lead a coalition. Simultaneously, Dyer and Tobey provide practical encouragement and spiritual principles for finding comfort, strength, and perspective in an unsettling time while laying out a strategy for responding out of faith rather than fear in the face of end times concerns.
