Download or read book Dear Diotrephes written by J. H. Binkley, Sr. and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2004-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These letters were written to various friends, critics, and inquisitors who were trying to learn our position on the prevailing issues in the Church of Christ. Asking for help was enough to uncover other issues. Everyone felt compelled to ?take a stand? on every issue.I was searching for help due to my failing eyesight and a concern for my wife and six children. When I asked whether James 5:14 had really ?passed away,? as they said, where could I go for help? I learned that hardly any of them believed the Bible. They just said they did.I was told that there were 27 branches of us. The introduction of the healing question doubled the number, so we had 54. The Holy Spirit question caused further division, so we had 108 sects. Speaking in tongues, professional clergy, and fellowship issues made 216 socio-religious sects. Voila! How is that for growth?

Download or read book Pierre Berton written by Brian Mckillop and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2011-06-22 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first ever biography of one of Canada’s best-known and most colourful personalities by an award-winning author. From his northern childhood on, it was clear that Pierre Berton (1920—2004) was different from his peers. Over the course of his eighty-four years, he would become the most famous Canadian media figure of his time, in newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and books — sometimes all at once. Berton dominated bookstore shelves for almost half a century, winning Governor General’s Awards for Klondike and The Last Spike, among many others, along with a dozen honorary degrees. Throughout it all, Berton was larger than life: full of verve and ideas, he approached everything he did with passion, humour, and an insatiable curiosity. He loved controversy and being the centre of attention, and provoked national debate on subjects as wide-ranging as religion and marijuana use. A major voice of Canadian nationalism at the dawn of globalization, he made Canadians take interest in their own history and become proud of it. But he had his critics too, and some considered him egocentric and mean-spirited. Now, with the same meticulous research and storytelling skill that earned him wide critical acclaim for The Spinster and the Prophet, Brian McKillop traces Pierre Berton’s remarkable life, with special emphasis on his early days and his rise to prominence. The result is a comprehensive, vivid portrait of the life and work of one of our most celebrated national figures.
