Bible Stories with Historical Illustrations (9780979062216)



The mission of this book is to be Biblically accurate, informative through its many realistic illustrations, suitable for adults and older children, and a good value compared to other similar products. Released in 2011, Bible Stories with Historical Illustrations stands alone in the field of Bible storybooks.With over 500 illustrations from nineteenth-century (1800's) books that were first collected from obscure sources and then digitally enhanced to restore and improve quality, this book is like no other. Most of the famed Bible illustrations by Gustave Dore are included, along with the works of many other talented individuals. The phrase "they don't make them like they used to" certainly can be applied to Bible illustrations, and that will become apparent to anyone who reads this book. Nearly all of the illustrations include a caption with descriptive information.The text of the 233 stories is based on the long-proven Bible Storybook by Elsie Egermeier, first published in the early 1900's. Bible Stories With Historical Illustrations is the Bible Storybook for the new millenium, written in modern language and lavishly illustrated to suit the modern reader's taste.Additionally, Bible Stories with Historical Illustrations includes some elements of stories that were intentionally omitted from Egermeier's book due to violence or for the sake of brevity. Unlike some other Bible storybooks that have received criticism for doing so, Bible Stories with Historical Illustrations does not attempt to moralize or turn Bible stories into lessons. The only lessons are those found within the Bible itself (God punishes those who don't obey him, God is merciful, Jesus is the Savior promised to Adam and Eve, faith can work wonders, etc.) Some minor commentary or reflection on the events is sometimes included, but in general the book follows the text of the Bible fairly closely without introducing new ideas.In development since 2007, Bible Stories with Historical Illustrations has been tailor-made to the specifications of what a Bible storybook should be: (based on a set of guidelines published in 2006 by a scholar of Children's Storybibles)*Staying close to the language of the Bible and avoiding filling in gaps or adding morals to the ends of the stories.*Illustrations which have realistic-looking characters as opposed to sanitized role models.*Suitable for older children and also adults.*The illustrations are not cartoon-like and convey a high degree of expression and emotion, and an overall sense of wonder.*The characters in the stories resemble people from that part of the world.Whether as a book to read for pure enjoyment or part of a structured learning environment such as Bible Study or homeschooling, Bible Stories with Historical Illustrations is sure to prove both enjoyable and educational.A review from someone with Bible education experience...."I was impressed with the volume and quality of your work in revitalizing and giving new life to a Bible Story standard. In my experience as pastor, author and news writer, I believe your book will serve as a valuable tool for instruction in the history and the hero's of God's Word. In two words: "Well Done!" Sincerely, David Ralston, Pastor, missionary, Founder of Christ To The Nations Mission and Christ's College"

Sacred Journey (9781532698989)

This companion reveals Rudolf Schwarz to be one of the greatest theologians of the twentieth century. As a German architect and mystic he created some beautiful churches in a stripped-down 1930s-Modern style, but he is most revered for a single book-in English translation The Church Incarnate. In it he explores the relationships between God and God's people, relationships expressed when they meet together in worship. Schwarz is revered for his spiritual insights but it is sometimes hard to follow him on his mystical wanderings. This companion accompanies him on his sacred journey, gently guiding him back on track when he wanders off-course and keeping him cheerful. This journey has had a surprising outcome: a discovery that, embedded in its union of earth and heaven, is a practical and logical structure for the renewal of the church; renewal of its worship, space, and its ministry. Already several congregations seeking renewal have used these concepts to find clarity and direction ...

Brute : Poems (9781555978358)

Selected by Joy Harjo as the winner of the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets Emily Skaja's debut collection is a fiery, hypnotic book that confronts the dark questions and menacing silences around gender, sexuality, and violence. Brute arises, brave and furious, from the dissolution of a relationship, showing how such endings necessitate self-discovery and reinvention. The speaker of these poems is a sorceress, a bride, a warrior, a lover, both object and agent, ricocheting among ways of knowing and being known. Each incarnation squares itself up against ideas of feminine virtue and sin, strength and vulnerability, love and rage, as it closes in on a hard-won freedom. Brute is absolutely sure of its capacity to insist not only on the truth of what it says but on the truth of its right to say it. "What am I supposed to say: I'm free?" the first poem asks. The rest of the poems emphatically discover new ways to answer. This is a timely winner of the W...
