Download or read book The 8 Lane Highway written by Danny L. Formhalls Sr. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-06-23 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel message and Christianity has changed since Jesus established it with His disciples and followers over 2000 years ago. When Jesus Called those He wanted (Mark 3:15) He set in motion a plan to win the world. The torch was passed to the early church patriarchs and their followers, who worked hard to imitate Jesus life and ministry. They did their job and the gospel was preached; the message of the cross raced to neighboring countries and lands. America would eventually become a beacon of light to further the Saviors message exponentially around the globe. In spite of the many hurdles and pitfalls along the way, the message of the cross has gone around the world. So, what has changed? Since the late 1950s a fundamental shift has occurred in the Body of Christ, the local church. The torch has been passed to a different type of believer. Somewhere along the way many believers stopped believing, the preachers stopped preaching the whole gospel and the true meaning of the word Christian has been hijacked. A lost world, especially those in the United States, brag and flaunt their sin out in the open. At the same time many believers have begun to wink at what the Bible calls sin. God will not be mocked for too much longer. This choice has led to weak believers and an embolden nation. Too many believers in Christ have lost their passion and voice. Like a lion waiting to pounce, the Devil has launched a powerful attack. The Bible speaks of two roads. A narrow road leading to God and eternal life and a broad road, which I call The 8-Lane Highway. This road leads to destruction and many, including Christians travel its crocked path. This book is about the eight lanes that make up this road. This book addresses the many believers and so-called Christians that live and function on and around the broad road. Their choices have greatly impacted the local church and the Christian culture. It doesnt take a Christian to recognize that America is changing; everyone knows it. At the same time, the local church is changing; and yet, not everyone sees it. It is essential that all believers in Christ become the true followers He died to establish. Jesus hasnt changed His message; or the urgency to share with everyone. Its time to wake up, to rise up, and to speak up.

Download or read book Warez written by Martin Paul Eve and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When most people think of piracy, they think of Bittorrent and The Pirate Bay. These public manifestations of piracy, though, conceal an elite worldwide, underground, organized network of pirate groups who specialize in obtaining media – music, videos, games, and software – before their official sale date and then racing against one another to release the material for free. Warez: The Infrastructure and Aesthetics of Piracy is the first scholarly research book about this underground subculture, which began life in the pre-internet era Bulletin Board Systems and moved to internet File Transfer Protocol servers (“topsites") in the mid- to late-1990s. The “Scene," as it is known, is highly illegal in almost every aspect of its operations. The term “Warez" itself refers to pirated media, a derivative of “software." Taking a deep dive in the documentary evidence produced by the Scene itself, Warez describes the operations and infrastructures an underground culture with its own norms and rules of participation, its own forms of sociality, and its own artistic forms. Even though forms of digital piracy are often framed within ideological terms of equal access to knowledge and culture, Eve uncovers in the Warez Scene a culture of competitive ranking and one-upmanship that is at odds with the often communalist interpretations of piracy. Broad in scope and novel in its approach, Warez is indispensible reading for anyone interested in recent developments in digital culture, access to knowledge and culture, and the infrastructures that support our digital age.
Download or read book A Labor of Love Volume 2 written by Anna D. Arapakos and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2024-10-18 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You hold the second of two volumes of one giant love story! This story is about Arapakos’ father and how she came to care for him when he was elderly. There is no more popular Greek myth than the one of the hero Hercules, and while you may not know her father or her, by the time she superimposes her father’s saga onto the labors of Hercules, you will! Arapakos’ overarching aim is for you and your parents to benefit from what she has to tell you. Hercules and she had much in common: they both wanted to help make things right despite the odds, and both proved victorious. In Volume 2, the roles reverse, and you find Arapakos taking on the part of Hercules as she performs her adaptation of the twelve “Herculean Labors” to care for her father when Huntington’s disease began making its mark on his life and person. She retells each labor Hercules undertook before making parallels to what she did for her father. She is confident the herculean myth and her father’s story will move you. The circle of love can continue through your actions and a better-informed mind and heart-set for your loved one in need.
Download or read book Hangdog Days written by Jeff Smoot and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fast-paced history-cum-memoir about rock climbing in the wild-and-wooly ’80s Highlights ground-breaking achievements from the era Hangdog Days vividly chronicles the era when rock climbing exploded in popularity, attracting a new generation of talented climbers eager to reach new heights via harder routes and faster ascents. This contentious, often entertaining period gave rise to sport climbing, climbing gyms, and competitive climbing--indelibly transforming the sport. Jeff Smoot was one of those brash young climbers, and here he traces the development of traditional climbing “rules,” enforced first through peer pressure, then later through intimidation and sabotage. In the late ’70s, several climbers began introducing new tactics including “hangdogging,” hanging on gear to practice moves, that the old guard considered cheating. As more climbers broke ranks with traditional style, the new gymnastic approach pushed the limits of climbing from 5.12 to 5.13. When French climber Jean-Baptiste Tribout ascended To Bolt or Not to Be, 5.14a, at Smith Rock in 1986, he cracked a barrier many people had considered impenetrable. In his lively, fast-paced history enriched with insightful firsthand experience, Smoot focuses on the climbing achievements of three of the era’s superstars: John Bachar, Todd Skinner, and Alan Watts, while not neglecting the likes of Ray Jardine, Lynn Hill, Mark Hudon, Tony Yaniro, and Peter Croft. He deftly brings to life the characters and events of this raucous, revolutionary time in rock climbing, exploring, as he says, “what happened and why it mattered, not only to me but to the people involved and those who have followed.”
