Download or read book Guardian of the Republic written by Allen West and published by Forum Books. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiring life and uncensored views of a veteran, patriot, former Congressman, conservative icon, and warrior for personal liberty… Over the course of the past few decades, Allen West has had many titles bestowed on him, among them Lt. Colonel, U.S. Representative, “Dad,” and Scourge of the Far Left. He rose from humble beginnings in Atlanta where his father instilled in him a code of conduct that would inform his life ever after. Throughout his years leading troops, raising a loving family, serving as Congressman in Florida’s 22nd district, and emerging as one of the most authentic voices in conservative politics, West has never compromised the core values on which he was raised: family, faith, tradition, service, honor, fiscal responsibility, courage, freedom. Today, these values are under attack as never before, and as the far Left intensifies its assaults, few have been as vigorous as West in pushing back. He refuses to let up, calling out an Obama administration that cares more about big government than following the Constitution, so-called black “leaders” who sell out their communities in exchange for pats on the head, and a segment of the media that sees vocal black conservatives as threats to be silenced. Now more than ever, the American republic needs a guardian: a principled, informed conservative who understands where we came from, who can trace the philosophical roots of our faith and freedom, and who has a plan to get America back on track. West isn’t afraid to speak truth to power, and in this book he’ll share the experiences that shaped him and the beliefs he would die to defend.

Download or read book Linked Faiths written by Jan de Meyer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-07-26 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If any subject lends itself to treatment in an edited volume, it is Chinese Religions; It is a recognized fact that the boundaries between the various religions in China, and those between religion and culture in general, have always been fluid. This can only be duly acknowledged by careful research from many angles – and by many experts. It is exactly these mutual influences that form the leading theme in this Festschrift in honour of Kristofer Schipper, taken up by a selection of his many expert pupils and colleagues. The thirteen contributions span over two millennia, ranging from the late Zhou to the present. Topics include divination, religious puppet theatre, the art of translating, late Ming Christianity, and literature. The major focus, however, is Taoism and its connections with medieval society, popular cults and medicine. Special mention, in this connection, should be made of an extensive analysis and translation of a fourth century poem from the Taoist Canon, and a study of the social circle of a leading Tang dynasty Taoist.

Book excerpt: Faith is never lacking in resources--anyone can be used by God to accomplish His will. At the same time, faith is not a requirement to be used by God in His divine plan. If you don't believe that, It Ain't Your Ordinary Road Trip! The Journey With Faith offers the reader the opportunity to explore the incredible journeys--with or without faith--of prominent Bible personalities as author Carol West imagines they might have happened. Thinking outside the box, yet staying true to God's Word, this collection of Bible stories for teens and adults attempts to fill in the blanks and answer the questions most folks have asked at one time or another. Talk to Eve and discover she's much more than just a pretty face. Run with Moses from Egypt to Midian, where he discovers his one-way ticket is actually a round-trip one! Hang out with three Hebrew boys who refused to bend, or bow down, or burn. Discover with Martha and Mary that when Jesus shows up, the possibilities are endless! These stories and the others included herein provide powerful insights into how God leads ordinary people, even those the world has rejected, in extraordinary ways to accomplish His plan.
Download or read book Faith Among Faiths written by James Lee Fredericks and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the twenty-first century, the meaning of non-Christian religions for Christian faith will become a central question. Are all religions, including Christianity, responding to the same transcendent truth or are religions fundamentally different? In Faith among Faiths, James Fredericks moves beyond the popular "pluralist" model of religions and explores the meaning of Christianity in light of non-Christian religions. By doing theology "comparatively," Fredericks shows how Christians can look upon religious diversity as an opportunity for enriching their own spiritual quest."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
