Download or read book Be Saved written by Timothy Herring and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-03-09 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is crying out loud for his people. Thousands upon thousands of his children are dying unsaved! Our gangsters, our wayward teens, our ex-prisoners, and our young adults belong to God. They belong to us also. All is ours! We must face the blame. We created them. We created conditions that produced them. We shut down the mandatory military draft, the one sure way of teaching self-discipline, self-restraint, obedience, and responsibility to young adults prior to adulthood. Our Industrial Revolution paled in the light of the Technological Revolution, where high-paying apprenticeships and other jobs were given to robotics; one robot replaced twenty hard-working men with large families. Most of the remaining manufacturing jobs were shipped abroad, and the Industrial Revolution mud-bottomed out. Fast-food jobs were unable to support their families. We took away the industrial schools for delinquents who had large families; we gave these schools to the robotically displaced. Delinquents were pushed into jobs that could not support families. We made shotgun weddings disappear, so did the fathers. Where did they all go? They didn’t go. They were pushed into the streets to survive. Pimps, drug dealers, confidence scammers, strong-arm robbers, gangsters, and identity thieves became the order of the day. Time is running out! The same thousands upon thousands of our wayward teenagers, gangsters, ex-prisoners, and young adults are falling through the cracks. Baby-killing spirits, seducing spirits, spirits of witchcraft, and spirits of divination are operating without walls in the metropolitan areas of the United States. This is of great concern to all saved people. We all recognize it, speak of it, and desire to do something about it. The task to overcome is so great we don’t know where to begin! Some has even given up, referring to it as the Signs of the Times. We continue to do our church thing. We continue to do our televangelist’s thing. We continue to do our international thing. We continue to strive for bigness. All of these is vitally important and must continue. But more is needed that speaks directly to gangsters, wayward teens, ex-prisoners, and young adults. More effort is needed to get their souls saved. If they come during the street ministry’s call, that’s great. We say we love you. But we will not call you directly to be saved.
Download or read book Bible in Pocket Gun in Hand written by Ross Phares and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1964-01-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'The Story of Frontier Religion' could have been told in a great many ways, many of them dull. Here, however, inter-pretative matter has been kept to a minimum and source material selected with an unerring sense of humor. . . . There are chapters on the styles of preaching and of praying, the phenomena of revivalism, the church as a disciplinary force, frauds and 'bad men' who preached, scoffers and trouble-makers, the fiercely jocular competition among the various sects, and the hard lot of circuit ministers."--Virginia Kirkus' Bulletin "This is an admirable piece of research, unpedantic but authentic, packed with entertaining anecdotes (some of them hilarious) based on obscure pastoral autobiographies, the diaries of early missionaries, the minutes of church court trials, and other curious source materials. . . . A unique book."--Chicago Sunday Tribune Ross Phares has written widely for magazines and is the author of several books.

Download or read book The Sovereign written by Stephen Eric Bronner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sovereignty is among the most important phenomena for making sense of political life. But there are many mistaken assumptions associated with the concept. This book provides a new and somewhat unorthodox interpretation of it from the standpoint of a theory of practice. The Sovereign responds to pressing political issues of our time, like immigration and refugees, transnationalism and populism, the prospects for democracy, and the relationship between civil society and the state. The chapters trace the concept of sovereignty from its origins in political theory, providing perspective and insights that leave the reader with a phenomenological sketch of the sovereign. Bronner transforms our ideas about political power, what it is, how it has been used, and how it can be used. His new theory of sovereignty concludes with twenty-five provocative theses on the sovereign’s role in modern capitalist society. The Sovereign is a novel and unparalleled overview of a crucial concept by an influential thinker. It is especially and particularly recommended to scholars and student of comparative politics, international relations, contemporary political theory, and the wider general public.

Download or read book Imagining Our Time written by Lewis P. Simpson and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lewis P. Simpson towers among scholars of American literary studies, as an intellectual historian of the South and American literary culture and a revered essayist. His last book, Imagining Our Time, offers a wide-ranging, erudite, and enlightening look at the culture of letters in American society. Primarily through an examination of the works of some of the leading writers of the twentieth century, many of whom Simpson knew intimately, this final volume provides insight into the struggles and concerns unique to prominent American thinkers, literary artists, and critics contemporary to his own lifetime. Often moving from an intriguing anecdote or recollection to a rigorous discussion of ideas, Simpson’s style is captivating. He begins with speculation on Eric Voegelin’s interest in Julien Benda’s polemic La Trahison des Clercs and follows with thoughts on the declining faith in the university as an embodiment of humanistic letters and learning, surveying the American Republic as far back as Benjamin Franklin. In successive chapters, Simpson pays tribute to Malcolm Cowley as a "hero of the literary art" and probes Robert Penn Warren’s fixation with Thomas Jefferson as manifested in the writing and complete rewriting of Brother to Dragons. He ruminates on the vocation of the critic as practiced by Lionel Trilling and Diana Trilling, and the literary and cultural politics of the 1930s. Brief portraits of Andrew Lytle and Louis D. Rubin, Jr., appear, as well as a poignant argument for the autobiographical cast of Eudora Welty’s writing. A lengthy, riveting consideration of Simpson’s friend Walker Percy and Percy’s quest for identity as a modern Christian novelist alienated from the society around him forms the core of the volume. Fred Hobson’s introduction fittingly rounds out Imagining Our Time, offering an intimate appreciation of Lewis Simpson-who will remain a giant among scholars of southern literary studies.
Download or read book The Heroic Gangster written by Neil Hanson and published by Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monk Eastman was born in 1873 to a respectable New York family. By the age of eighteen he was running the streets of Lower Manhattan, first starting as a bouncer, and later as a gang leader who led an army of two thousand. He had both politicians and cops in his pocket and seemed untouchable. That all changed when he was sentenced to ten years at Sing Sing prison after several battles with Pinkerton detectives. He ended up losing all his territory and by the time he got out, realized that the streets were no longer safe enough for him to be around. With that, he immediately joined the New York National Guard, going from a street kingpin to a lowly private. Taking what he learned from the streets, Monk quickly proved himself, as his division was put on the front lines during the trench warfare of World War I. He came back to New York a hero and was given a governor’s pardon. He was back on top; but the real question was, would he be able to leave his past behind? This incredible story, told by Neil Hanson, relives for the reader the history of Monk Eastman, New York, and a pivotal point in our country’s history.

A loving and detailed celebration of a diverse, beautiful and often astounding people."—Laurence Gonzales, Chicago Tribune They are sometimes called the people who died twice, once at the hands of the Spaniards and their brutal process of civilization, then at the hands of Anglos, practicing a subtler exploitation. They are Latinos, the fastest-growing minority in the United States.
