Book Description
In Adulterous Nations, Tatiana Kuzmic enlarges our perspective on the nineteenth-century novel of adultery, showing how it often served as a metaphor for relationships between the imperialistic and the colonized. In the context of the long-standing practice of gendering nations as female, the novels under discussion here—George Eliot’s Middlemarch, Theodor Fontane’s Effi Briest, and Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, along with August Šenoa’s The Goldsmith’s Gold and Henryk Sienkiewicz’s Quo Vadis—can be understood as depicting international crises on the scale of the nuclear family. In each example, an outsider figure is responsible for the disruption experienced by the family. Kuzmic deftly argues that the hopes, anxieties, and interests of European nations during this period can be discerned in the destabilizing force of adultery. Reading the work of Šenoa and Sienkiewicz, from Croatia and Poland, respectively, Kuzmic illuminates the relationship between the literature of dominant nations and that of the semicolonized territories that posed a threat to them. Ultimately, Kuzmic’s study enhances our understanding of not only these five novels but nineteenth-century European literature more generally.

Book Description
Drew Phillips is a modern day prophet whose only desire is to travel from town to town in his crusades helping people and healing the sick. He had no idea that when he called a beautiful young cancer victim forward for healing that it would change his life forever. Sam Hogue was the youngest Assistant Director in the history of the C.I.A. and he had just been handed the job of stopping an assassination attempt against the President. He knew was this was not a group of loose knit amateurs but professionals, well funded and better connected politically than he was. As you read this story you will see how time and fate twist these two very different men together. Drew refuses to work for the C.I.A. until Sam reaches into his bag of "Dirty Tricks" and forces the issue. When Drew decides to use his calling as a prophet to save the life of the President, his heart starts pumping red white and blue and not even Sam was ready for what Drew would see! Who would have ever suspected that the wealthiest oil Sheik in the world would have such a diabolical plot that if not stopped it would forever change the fate of the world and launch "The Caliphate". As you read this book don't be surprised if you feel this is non-fiction. Some of the early edits were done by government employees and retired military officers and they were shaken by the elements of truth found within the pages. I will let you decide what is fiction and what is not.

Book Description
The book of Revelation is meant to be understood or revealed. The word revelation means to reveal, to uncover. But it cannot be understood by a man without the indwelling Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives keys to understanding the book both in Revelation and in other teachings of scripture. The Spirit lets us know when the book was written - by facts presented in the book. That is important in discovering when the fulfillment of the book took place. The Spirit also tells us the Revelation was of things that “must soon take place.” This phrase governs our understanding in the fulfillment of the whole Revelation. Again, the teaching of prophecies were all to be fulfilled within the “generation of Jesus”. These prophecies were to and “must soon take place” in the book. There are seven keys I have followed in understanding the book of Revelation. You can understand the book of revelation also by following the keys the Spirit has left for us. God blesses us in multiple ways in opening His book - the Revelation. May he bless you fully in that effort through his Spirit. May you come to understand his Revelation.
