Book excerpt: Too often Christmas gets swallowed up in the busyness of shopping and sending cards and wrapping presents. As we rush around, we often miss the wonder of what Christmas is all about. Christmas began with a gift given to the human race two thousand years ago. It was a child, born in a Bethlehem stable and laid in a manger. His birth was announced by wise men guided from the East by a very special star. It was the gift we needed most: a Savior, the Holy Son of God. This is the good news proclaimed by the angel: "Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord" (Luke 2:10-11). Why was God's gift of a Savior so important? There are three reasons: The greatness of the need. The future of the human race was at stake. Sin made havoc of God's creation and brought estrangement from its Creator. The greatness of the gift. Not only was the need great, but the gift was also great! "This is My beloved Son," God said, "in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17). The greatness of the cost. Read the inspired portraits of the suffering of Christ in Isaiah 53, Psalm 22, and Psalm 69. The cross was only part of the price He gladly paid. Jesus Christ did not die for His own sins or because He was a victim of circumstances. He came, as God's supreme gift to you and me. The Bible pointedly asks: "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?" (Hebrews 2:3). Have you overlooked the really important gift of Christmas? Is God prompting you to look through the odds and ends of Christmas? God's gift for you is waiting. Don't miss it. Right now, wherever you are, you can receive the costliest gift, Jesus Christ the Savior. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).

Download or read book Pipeline written by M. J. Sperling and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fictional novel about the trans-Alaskan pipeline. Pipeline takes place in Alaska and depicts the conflicts between dedicated environmentalists concerned with Alaska’s future and the opportunistic oilmen who care only about constructing a nine-hundred-mile pipeline through Alaska’s beautiful unsurpassed wilderness. The novel is centered on a beautiful young woman named Laura and the two men who love her: Matt and Seth. The three are cast against the problems and consequences of Alaska, the last wilderness state. Matt is ruggedly handsome, a forty-year-old tough-minded individualist working as a troubleshooter for the oilmen. Women are sensually drawn to him, and men tend to respect his authority. Seth is a newspaper reporter and a native Alaskan, a Ralph Nader–character, about twenty-five years old. Wealthy, intelligent, and the leader of the Pikes, a dedicated environmentalist group who are concerned with the future of Alaska. Laura is the young beauty. Troubled in youth, she leaves her hometown in Montana to seek romanticism in Alaska. The narrative drive of this novel is the antagonistic sensitivity of Matt and Seth, as different in makeup and character as is their perception of Alaska. Seth is a preservationist in his ideals wanting to protect Alaska, her beauty, and her natural resources. Matt has excelled through life by his wits and sheer gut-level ambitions. He sees the chance of the state opening up to the oilmen and is determined to gain the power and wealth involved in the operation of building the Alaskan pipeline. A power struggle mounts between the Pikes and the opportunists over the infamy of the pipeline, the infiltration of outsiders, and the aversion of Alaska becoming a concrete domain laden with billboards and litter.

Download or read book Hell s Half Acre written by David Finch and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2005 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hell's Half Acre is the story of the people who lived and worked in Turner Valley, western Canada's first commercial oilfield, located southwest of Calgary. Beginning in 1914, the oil fields attracted thousands of workers from across North America to the drilling rigs, processing plants, and the pipeline crews that dug the first trenches. In addition to the beginnings of an oil industry, Turner Valley provided Alberta with a rich historical legacy of epic proportions, along with a cast of very colourful characters. Drawing on contemporary accounts and dozens of interviews with Turner Valley pioneers, as well as probing the vast visual history of archival photographs, David Finch captures the life and times of an exciting era in Alberta history. Imagine natural gas flares so plentiful and powerful that night turned into day and the glowing sky could be seen from Calgary. The smell of sour gas and its deadly effects were a constant danger, as were the primitive work conditions associated with the early years of oil exploration. But on the workers toiled, constructing massive drilling rigs out of huge timbers, working day and night in a relentless search for black gold. The Second World War brought an unprecedented level of urgency and tension to Turner Valley when the national treasure became a military target. These were fascinating times, and in Hell's Half Acre the people, the companies, the booms and the busts are all revealed in entertaining detail.
