The Name $14.99 “Before offering a prayer at the inauguration of President George W. Bush, Franklin Graham was asked by a fellow participant if he intended to pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Graham assured him that he would and encouraged this pastor to do the same. As Graham reminded him, “That’s the only thing we’ve got.” In days of religious confusion and cultural relativism, Franklin Graham reminds us that there are absolutes in the kingdom of God. “The Name” explains the significance of names in the Hebrew culture, centering on the meaningfulness of the name “Jesus.” Chapters focus on the different aspects of power in the Lord’s name, such as “Healing in the Name” and “Salvation in the Name.”" |

Korean Name $113.11 A Korean name consists of a family name followed by a given name, as used by the Korean people in both North Korea and South Korea. In the Korean language, ireum or seongmyeong usually refers to the family name (seong) and given name (ireum in a narrow sense) together. A long history of the use of family names has caused surname extinction. There are only about 250 Korean family names currently in use, and the three most common (Kim, Lee, and Park) account for nearly half of the population. The family name is typically a single syllable, and the given name two syllables. There is no middle name in the Western sense. Many Koreans have their given names made of a generational name syllable and an individually distinct syllable, while this practice is declining in the younger generations. The generational name syllable is shared by siblings in North Korea, and by all members of the same generation of an extended family in South Korea. Married men and women usually keep their full personal names, and children inherit the fathers family name. Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 208 Publication Date: 2010/06/05 Language: English Dimensions: 6.00 x 9.02 x 0.48 inches |

Family $20 “Using letters and other family documents, Frazier reconstructs two hundred years of middle-class life, visiting small towns his ancestors lived in, reading books they read, and discovering the larger forces of history that affected them. He observes some of them during the British raid on Danbury, Connecticut, in the Revolutionary War; he follows others west as they pioneer in the wilderness of Ohio and Indiana; he visits the battlefields where they fought the Civil War. Frazier interviews old-timers, uncles, aunts, cousins, maids, and a beer-store owner who knew his dad. He pursues the family saga in aspect from trivial to grand, hoping for “a meaning that would defeat death.” “Family “is a poetic epic of facts, a chronicle of Protestant culture’s rise and fall, a memorial, and a revised view of American history as romantic as it is cold-eyed.>” |

A Short History of Byzantium $19 “”Norwich is always on the lookout for the small but revealing details. . . . All of this he recounts in a style that consistently entertains.” >–”The New York Times Book Review ” >In this magisterial adaptation of his epic three-volume history of Byzantium, John Julius Norwich chronicles the world’s longest-lived Christian empire. Beginning with Constantine the Great, who in a.d. 330 made Christianity the religion of his realm and then transferred its capital to the city that would bear his name, Norwich follows the course of eleven centuries of Byzantine statecraft and warfare, politics and theology, manners and art. >In the pages of A Short History of Byzantium we encounter mystics and philosophers, eunuchs and barbarians, and rulers of fantastic erudition, piety, and degeneracy. We enter the life of an empire that could create some of the world’s most transcendent religious art and then destroy it in the convulsions of fanaticism. Stylishly written and overflowing with drama, pathos, and wit, here is a matchless account of a lost civilization and its magnificent cultural legacy. >”Strange and fascinating . . . filled with drollery and horror.” >–”Boston Globe”" |

A New History of Early Christianity $35 “The relevance of Christianity is as hotly contested today as it has ever been. “A New History of Early Christianity” shows how our current debates are rooted in the many controversies surrounding the birth of the religion and the earliest attempts to resolve them. Charles Freeman’s meticulous historical account of Christianity from its birth in Judaea in the first century A.D. to the emergence of Western and Eastern churches by A.D. 600 reveals that it was a distinctive, vibrant, and incredibly diverse movement brought into order at the cost of intellectual and spiritual vitality. Against the conventional narrative of the inevitable “triumph” of a single distinct Christianity, Freeman shows that there was a host of competing Christianities, many of which had as much claim to authenticity as those that eventually dominated. Looking with fresh eyes at the historical record, Freeman explores the ambiguities and contradictions that underlay Christian theology and the unavoidable compromises enforced in the name of doctrine. Tracing the astonishing transformation that the early Christian church underwent–from sporadic niches of Christian communities surviving in the wake of a horrific crucifixion to sanctioned alliance with the state–Charles Freeman shows how freedom of thought was curtailed by the development of the concept of faith. The imposition of “correct belief,” religious uniformity, and an institutional framework that enforced orthodoxy were both consolidating and stifling. Uncovering the difficulties in establishing the Christian church, he examines its relationship with Judaism, Gnosticism, Greek philosophy and Greco-Roman society, and he offers dramatic new accounts of Paul, the resurrection, and the church fathers and emperors.” |

Dr. David A. Noebel, best-selling author of Understanding the Times I have been privileged to read this outstanding book. The documentation and insights are superb. I will certainly recommend it to others. Texe Marrs, best-selling author of more than 35 books I am much impressed with the range of Alexis thought and the extent of his reading.

The History $16 “David Grene, one of the best known translators of the Greek classics, splendidly captures the peculiar quality of Herodotus, the father of history. >Here is the historian, investigating and judging what he has seen, heard, and read, and seeking out the true causes and consequences of the great deeds of the past. In his “History,” the war between the Greeks and Persians, the origins of their enmity, and all the more general features of the civilizations of the world of his day are seen as a unity and expressed as the vision of one man who as a child lived through the last of the great acts in this universal drama. >In Grene’s remarkable translation and commentary, we see the historian as a storyteller, combining through his own narration the skeletal “historical” facts and the imaginative reality toward which his story reaches. Herodotus emerges in all his charm and complexity as a writer and the first historian in the Western tradition, perhaps unique in the way he has seen the interrelation of fact and fantasy. >”Reading Herodotus in English has never been so much fun. . . . Herodotus crowds his fresco-like pages with all shades of humanity. Whether Herodotus’s view is ‘tragic, ‘ mythical, or merely common sense, it provided him with a moral salt with which the diversity of mankind could be savored. And savor it we do in David Grene’s translation.”–Thomas D’Evelyn, “Christian Science Monitor” >”Grene’s work is a monument to what translation intends, and to what it is hungry to accomplish. . . . Herodotus gives more sheer pleasure than almost any other writer.”–Peter Levi, “New York Times Book Review >”" |

1838 Short Stories (Study Guide): Ligeia $14.14 Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Ligeia. Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: “Ligeia” is an early short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1838. The story follows an unnamed narrator and his wife Ligeia, a beautiful and intelligent raven-haired woman. She falls ill, composes “The Conqueror Worm”, and quotes lines attributed to Joseph Glanvill (which suggest that life is sustainable only through willpower) shortly before dying. After her death, the narrator marries the Lady Rowena. Rowena becomes ill and she dies as well. The distraught narrator stays with her body overnight and watches as Rowena slowly comes back from the dead – though she has transformed into Ligeia. The story may be the narrator’s opium-induced hallucination and there is debate if the story was a satire. After the story’s first publication in The American Museum, it was heavily revised and reprinted throughout Poe’s life. The unnamed narrator describes the qualities of Ligeia, a beautiful, passionate and intellectual woman, raven-haired and dark-eyed, that he thinks he remembers meeting “in some large, old decaying city near the Rhine.” He is unable to recall anything about the history of Ligeia, including her family’s name, but remembers her beautiful appearance. Her beauty, however, is not conventional. He describes her as emaciated, with some “strangeness.” He describes her face in detail, from her “faultless” forehead to the “divine orbs” of her eyes. They marry, and Ligeia impresses her husband with her immense knowledge of physical and mathematical science, and her proficiency in classical languages. She begins to show her husband her knowledge of metaphysical and “forbidden” wisdom. After an unspecified length of time Ligeia becomes ill, struggles internally with human mortality, |

Chapters: Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management, A Gift to Young Housewives, 1861 in literature, The Koran, The Chemical History of a Candle,. Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is a book that was published in 1861 by Harriet Jacobs, using the pen name “Linda Brent”. While on one level it chronicles the experiences of Harriet Jacobs as a slave, and the various humiliations she had to endure in that unhappy state, it also deals with the particular tortures visited on women at her station. Often in the book, she will point to a particular punishment that a male slave will endure at the hands of slave holders, and comment that, although she finds the punishment brutal in the extreme, it cannot compare to the abuse that a young woman must face while still on the cusp of girlhood. Incidents in the Life of Slave Girl is considered a slave narrative. Portions of it were first published in serial form before being published as a complete work in 1861, after some difficulty finding a publisher. It is also considered an example of feminist literature. Linda Brent- The lead protagonist and a pseudonym for Harriet Jacobs. In the story, Linda at a young age is unaware of her being a slave due to the fact of her parents not telling her and her parents’ masters allowing them to have their own home and raise their family. She faces betrayal and harassment by her many white masters. Linda along the way learns how to defend herself against her masters. Also later on she is torn between her wants of personal freedom and her feeling of personal responsibility to her family, especially her children Benny and Ellen. Dr. Flint- Linda’s master, enemy and would be lover (Linda doesn’t let this happen). |

2012 Allstate BCS National Championship Game DVD $24.99 Officially LicensedThe 2012 Allstate BCS National Championship was the supreme all-SEC matchup between the top two teams in the nation. Going head to head, No. 1 LSU took on No. 2 Alabama.The pre-game hype grew because two college football powerhouses were meeting for the second time in the 2011-2012 season. Most fans were apprehensive about another knock down drag out defensive battle, similar to the regular season match up, which LSU won with a hand full of field goals on Nov 5, the final score being 9-6.At the onset, it looked like this game was going to have a similar feel. The defenses dominated the first half, with Alabama holding the Tigers to only six yards of offense and two punts with two possessions. The Tigers’ defense was equally impressive however and only gave up 36 yards before Alabama finally knocked in a field goal off the foot of Jeremy Shelley from the 23 yard line.The final score, 21-0, was the first shutout in BCS history, leaving Coach Nick Saban with a third National Championship under his belt, and the Crimson Tide in the top spot in the final Associated Press poll for the eighth time, tying Notre Dame for number of seasons at the top.Alabama’s win in the 2012 Allstate BCS National Championship is the sixth consecutive BCS Championship won by a Southeastern Conference team and the eighth title overall, since the Bowl Championship Series was formed.Celebrate the Crimson Tide’s BCS National Championship victory with The 2012 Allstate BCS Championship DVD, which includes the commercial-free game broadcast as well as special bonus features, making it a great addition to any Alabama fan’s DVD collection!

2076-REAGAN’S LAST WORD $9.99 In 1976, Ronald Reagan, at the Republican Convention, announced he placed a letter in a time capsule to be opened in Los Angeles in 2076. In a speech given at that convention, Reagan expressed his concern that the people of 2076 would never get to read the letter because it spoke of individual freedom. America, 2076—the United States has been fundamentally changed, and the government controls every aspect of daily life. Medical decisions, consumption, speech, transportation, even the right to be alive. All in the name of social justice. Michael Adams, a journalism student, writes an article about America’s Tricentennial and wonders if his generation understands what it means to be an American. He discovers a plot to destroy the Reagan letter, its message no longer welcome in a country where liberty has died and tyranny rules. He turns to the man who introduced him to Reagan’s ideas—Calvin Marshall, a history professor who is hiding, and only his granddaughter, Michael’s ex-girlfriend, Jackie Perez, knows of his whereabouts. Soon, Michael goes on the run, persecuted by a federal agent determined to silence him at any cost. To keep the letter from being destroyed, he has to face the agent, community organizers, rats, strippers, high-speed trains, bandits, Obamobiles, a terrible family dinner, and a bad movie. As he continues to run for his life, Reagan’s warning becomes all too real. “They probably won’t get to read the letter at all because it spoke of individual freedom . . .” |

27: 27 Births, 27 Deaths, Agrippa Ii, Wang Chong, Petronius, List of State Leaders in 27, Quinctilius Varus, Quintus Haterius, 27 Ad $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Wang Chong (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Wáng Chng; Wade-Giles: Wang Ch’ung, 27c. 100 AD), courtesy name Zhongren (), was a Chinese philosopher during the Han Dynasty who developed a rational, secular, naturalistic, and mechanistic account of the world and of human beings. His main work was the Lùnhéng (, “Critical Essays”). This book contained many theories involving early sciences of astronomy and meteorology, and Wang Chong was even the first in Chinese history to mention the use of the square-pallet chain pump, which became common in irrigation and public works in China thereafter. Wang also accurately described the process of the water cycle. Unlike most of the Chinese philosophers of his period, Wang spent much of his life in non-self-inflicted poverty. He was said to have studied by standing at bookstalls, and had a superb memory, which allowed him to become very well-versed in the Chinese classics. He eventually reached the rank of District Secretary, a post which he soon lost as a result of his combative and anti-authoritarian nature. Wang was born into a poor family at modern Shangyu, Zhejiang. Born a son of Wang Song, he was admired in his local community for his filial piety and devotion to his father. With the urging of his parents, Wang travelled to the Eastern Han capital at Luoyang to study at the Imperial University. It was there that Wang became acquainted with the prestigious historian Ban Biao (354), the latter who initiated the Book of Han. He also befriended Ban Gu (3292), the son of Ban Biao who made further contributions to the Book of Han. Since he was poor and lacked enough money to purchase proper texts of study, Wang had to resort to frequent visits to bookshops in order to acquire |

A Burlesque Autobiography and, First Romance $0.99 This ebook is complete with linked Table of Content making navigation quicker and easier.Contents include:BURLESQUE AUTOBIOGRAPHYAWFUL, TERRIBLE MEDIEVAL ROMANCECHAPTER I. THE SECRET REVEALEDCHAPTER II. FESTIVITY AND TEARSCHAPTER III. THE PLOT THICKENSCHAPTER IV. THE AWFUL REVELATIONCHAPTER V. THE FRIGHTFUL CATASTROPHETwo or three persons having at different times intimated that if I would write an autobiography they would read it, when they got leisure, I yield at last to this frenzied public demand, and herewith tender my history:Ours is a noble old house, and stretches a long way back into antiquity. The earliest ancestor the Twains have any record of was a friend of the family by the name of Higgins. This was in the eleventh century, when our people were living in Aberdeen, county of Cork, England. Why it is that our long line has ever since borne the maternal name (except when one of them now and then took a playful refuge in an alias to avert foolishness), instead of Higgins, is a mystery which none of us has ever felt much desire to stir. It is a kind of vague, pretty romance, and we leave it alone. All the old families do that way.Arthour Twain was a man of considerable note—a solicitor on the highway in William Rufus’ time. At about the age of thirty he went to one of those fine old English places of resort called Newgate, to see about something, and never returned again. While there he died suddenly.Augustus Twain, seems to have made something of a stir about the year 1160. He was as full of fun as he could be, and used to take his old sabre and sharpen it up, and get in a convenient place on a dark night, and stick it through people as they went by, to see them jump. He was a born humorist. But he got to going too far with it; and the first time he was found stripping one of these parties, the authorities removed one end of him, and put it up on a nice high |
