Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cherubims - Chariots of God Cherubims, what are they? What did God do with them? They are a mystery even to Bible scholars. Cherubims are first mentioned in the Holy Bible at the end of Genesis Chapter 3. In Exodus, 2 small models of Cherubims are on the Ark of the Testimony (Ark of the Covenant). The Ark of the Covenant was first put in the Tabernacle in the most holy place. Later when the Temple of Solomon (Temple of God) was built, the Ark was put in the most holy place, or Oracle. Solomon made 2 large models of Cherubims within the Oracle of the Temple. Cherubims are not imaginary figures. They are not angels. They are not mere ornaments. God used them mightily! David saw God ride and fly on a Cherub! Ezekiel saw four of them! He called them 'living creatures' before he knew their name. God used the Cherubims to fight for Israel in the Old Testament. Will God use them again? 66

Download or read book Chariots and Horses written by Jason Dorland and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2011 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the 2012 Olympic Games on the horizon, talk of high-level performance, achievement, going for gold and motivational strategy is already rising in pitch. Former Olympic rower Jason Dorland knows how important it is to convey the right message about winning. In this compelling memoir, he shares his challenging journey to cultivate a healthier outlook. Detailing his experiences rowing with the Canadian National Rowing Team and later coaching high-school crews, he reveals how a devastating performance at the 1988 Olympics defined his life for years to come. "In it to win it," he fell apart when that didn't happen. The same win-at-all-costs mentality that made the Olympic loss so hard to bear was also what made it difficult for him to move forward, despite his efforts to overcome his overwhelming sense of failure. An honest, intimate look at the reality of high-level athletics, Jason's memoir is more than a sports story.

Download or read book Sweet Chariot written by Ann Patton Malone and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sweet Chariot is a pathbreaking analysis of slave families and household composition in the nineteenth-century South. Ann Malone presents a carefully drawn picture of the ways in which slaves were constituted into families and households within a community and shows how and why that organization changed through the years. Her book, based on massive research, is both a statistical study over time of 155 slave communities in twenty-six Louisiana parishes and a descriptive study of three plantations: Oakland, Petite Anse, and Tiger Island. Malone first provides a regional analysis of family, household, and community organization. Then, drawing on qualitative sources, she discusses patterns in slave family household organization, identifying the most significant ones as well as those that consistantly acted as indicators of change. Malone shows that slave community organization strongly reflected where each community was in its own developmental cycle, which in turn was influenced by myriad factors, ranging from impersonal economic conditions to the arbitrary decisions of individual owners. She also projects a statistical model that can be used for comparisons with other populations. The two persistent themes that Malone uncovers are the mutability and yet the constancy of Louisiana slave household organization. She shows that the slave family and its extensions, the slave household and community, were far more diverse and adaptable than previously believed. The real strength of the slave comunity was its multiplicity of forms, its tolerance for a variety of domestic units and its adaptability. She finds, for example, that the preferred family form consisted of two parents and children but that all types of families and households were accepted as functioning and contributing members of the slave community. "Louisiana slaves had a well-defined and collective vision of the structure that would serve them best and an iron determination to attain it, " Malone observes. "But along with this constancy in vision and perseverance was flexibility. Slave domestic forms in Louisiana bent like willows in the wind to keep from shattering. The suppleness of their forms prevented domestic chaos and enabled most slave communities to recover from even serious crises."
