Desde os tempos mais remotos, quando se revelou ao ser humano o plano da salvação, a esperança de retornar ao paraíso perdido tem sido nutrida por todo servo do Senhor. A ocasião em que Deus intervirá na história para interromper o avanço do mal e estabelecer Seu eterno e esplendoroso reino tem sido almejada pelos corações sedentos de mudança. A própria natureza clama e geme aguardando o grande dia da redenção. Quando esteve fisicamente entre nós, Cristo prometeu que voltaria. Pronunciada pelos lábios Daquele que é a própria verdade, essa promessa não pode falhar. O Rei do Universo virá! Virá para resgatar o povo que adquiriu com Seu sangue, para restaurar o planeta que o pecado manchou e instituir a paz de que o mundo tanto necessita. Ele virá, e já podemos ouvir os Seus passos! Este livro reúne os mais belos, inspiradores e incisivos textos de Ellen G. White sobre os acontecimentos relacionados com o retorno de Jesus. A finalidade da obra é preparar seus leitores para "as coisas que em breve devem acontecer" (Apocalipse 1:1). Escritora de outros clássicos sobre profecias bíblicas, como O Grande Conflito e Eventos Finais, a autora deste devocional teve um ministério frutífero também como pregadora e conselheira. Uma das notas tônicas de seu trabalho sempre foi a segunda vinda de Cristo em glória e majestade.

Download or read book The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn written by Richard Lode and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle, it is a game. It is a game, however, which cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of spiritual law, and the Old and the New Testaments give the rules of the game with wonderful clearness. Jesus the Christ taught that it was a great game of Giving and Receiving. If we give hate, we will receive hate; if we give love, we will receive love; if we give criticism, we will receive criticism; if we lie we will be lied to; if we cheat we will be cheated. We are taught also, that the imaging faculty plays a leading part in the game of life. Keep thy heart (or imagination) with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life." (Prov. 4:23.)

Download or read book Football and Fascism written by Rahul Kumar and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Football and Fascism. The Politics of Popular Culture in Portugal tells the hidden history of football and discusses its political, social and cultural foundations, during the longest running authoritarian regime in Europe. Theoretically grounded on Bourdieu’s field theory, and using a multi-scalar methodology, this award-winning research explores the political tensions between the nationalization of sports envisaged by the Portuguese “New State” and the integration of national football in a globalized urban popular culture. Mobilizing unexplored archival sources, and a wide array of primary materials, this groundbreaking work offers new insight on the administrative structures of the corporativist state, the making of an authoritarian cultural program, and the relation between state institutions and civil society. Besides broadening the scope of existing transnational histories of football, this study also puts into question the conventional geographies and political chronologies adopted in sports history. For his oustanding research, Rahul Kumar won the 2015 “Mário Soares Award - EDP Foundation” for best work in Portuguese history by researchers under 35 and received an honourable mention, also in 2015, in the “CES Award for Young Portuguese speaking Social Scientists”, attributed by the Centre for Social Studies of Coimbra University.

Book excerpt: Este volume traz, em edição bilíngue, cinco das nove peças escritas por Oscar Wilde - 'Salomé', 'Uma Mulher sem Importância', 'O Marido Ideal', 'Uma Tragédia Florentina' e 'A Santa Cortesã'. 'Salomé' é um drama poético, escrito em 1892 em francês e traduzido para o inglês em 1894. O drama conta a história de João Batista, um profeta popular encarcerado na masmorra do palácio de Herodes Antipas por denunciar a corrupção e a imoralidade na corte. 'Uma Mulher sem Importância' é a segunda comédia de sociedade que Oscar Wilde escreveu e conta a história de um jovem ambicioso, Gerard, filho ilegítimo, que se vê forçado a escolher entre o pai, um influente aristocrata, e sua mãe, uma mulher sem importância. 'Um Marido Ideal' é uma comédia escrita em 1895 que gira em torno de chantagem e corrupção política. Sir Robert é um homem bem sucedido em todos os aspectos, um político excepcional, tem amizade com pessoas influentes e um casamento perfeito com Gertrude. Quando está preste a ser nomeado para o gabinete, a sedutora Lady Laura surge com uma carta que esconde um segredo do seu passado e usa isso como chantagem. Sir Robert então pede ajuda a Arthur Goring, um solteiro namorador, para salvar seu casamento. 'Uma Tragédia Florentina' é um fragmento de uma tragédia que nunca foi concluída. A ambientação da peça acontece na Florença Renascentista e conta o caso de amor ilícito entre o príncipe Guido e a plebeia Bianca. 'A Santa Cortesã' é uma peça que Oscar Wilde escreveu em 1894. O projeto original foi deixado em um táxi pelo autor, e apenas um fragmento sobreviveu. Conta a história de uma prostituta de beleza inigualável que faz uma peregrinação ao deserto para procurar um belo e jovem eremita, um homem muito santo, que vive uma vida de oração.
Download or read book What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars written by Jim Paul and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jim Paul's meteoric rise took him from a small town in Northern Kentucky to governor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, yet he lost it all--his fortune, his reputation, and his job--in one fatal attack of excessive economic hubris. In this honest, frank analysis, Paul and Brendan Moynihan revisit the events that led to Paul's disastrous decision and examine the psychological factors behind bad financial practices in several economic sectors. This book--winner of a 2014 Axiom Business Book award gold medal--begins with the unbroken string of successes that helped Paul achieve a jet-setting lifestyle and land a key spot with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. It then describes the circumstances leading up to Paul's $1.6 million loss and the essential lessons he learned from it--primarily that, although there are as many ways to make money in the markets as there are people participating in them, all losses come from the same few sources. Investors lose money in the markets either because of errors in their analysis or because of psychological barriers preventing the application of analysis. While all analytical methods have some validity and make allowances for instances in which they do not work, psychological factors can keep an investor in a losing position, causing him to abandon one method for another in order to rationalize the decisions already made. Paul and Moynihan's cautionary tale includes strategies for avoiding loss tied to a simple framework for understanding, accepting, and dodging the dangers of investing, trading, and speculating.
Download or read book Portrayals of Antigone in Portugal written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portrayals of Antigone in Portugal gathers a collection of essays on the Portuguese drama rewritings of this Theban myth produced in the 20th and 21st centuries. For each of the cases analysed, the Portuguese historical, political and cultural context is described. This perspective is expanded through a dialogue with coeval European events. As concerns Portugal, this results principally in political and feminist approaches to the texts. Since the importation of the Sophoclean model is often indirect, the volume includes comparisons with intermediate sources, namely French (Cocteau, Anouilh) and Spanish (María Zambrano), which were extremely influential on the many and diversified versions written in Portugal during this period.
Download or read book Playing at the World written by Jon Peterson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the conceptual origins of wargames and role-playing games in this unprecedented history of simulating the real and the impossible. From a vast survey of primary sources ranging from eighteenth-century strategists to modern hobbyists, Playing at the World distills the story of how gamers first decided fictional battles with boards and dice, and how they moved from simulating wars to simulating people. The invention of role-playing games serves as a touchstone for exploring the ways that the literary concept of character, the lure of fantastic adventure and the principles of gaming combined into the signature cultural innovation of the late twentieth century.
