Book Description
The turn of the millennium has stimulated much scholarly reflection on the historical significance of the twentieth century as a whole. Explaining the century’s dual legacy of progress and prosperity on one hand, and of world war, genocide, and mass destruction on the other, has become a key task for academics and policymakers alike. Not surprisingly, Germany holds a prominent position in the discussion. What does it mean for a society to be so closely identified with both inflicting and withstanding enormous suffering, as well as with promoting and enjoying unprecedented affluence? What did Germany’s experiences of misery and abundance, fear and security, destruction and reconstruction, trauma and rehabilitation have to do with one another? How has Germany been imagined and experienced as a country uniquely stamped by pain and prosperity? The contributors to this book engage these questions by reconsidering Germany’s recent past according to the themes of pain and prosperity, focusing on such topics as welfare policy, urban history, childbirth, medicine, racism, political ideology, consumerism, and nostalgia.

Book Description
How have millions of American Christians come to measure spiritual progress in terms of their financial status and physical well-being? How has the movement variously called Word of Faith, Health and Wealth, Name It and Claim It, or simply prosperity gospel come to dominate much of our contemporary religious landscape? Kate Bowler's Blessed is the first book to fully explore the origins, unifying themes, and major figures of a burgeoning movement that now claims millions of followers in America. Bowler traces the roots of the prosperity gospel: from the touring mesmerists, metaphysical sages, pentecostal healers, business oracles, and princely prophets of the early 20th century; through mid-century positive thinkers like Norman Vincent Peale and revivalists like Oral Roberts and Kenneth Hagin; to today's hugely successful prosperity preachers. Bowler focuses on such contemporary figures as Creflo Dollar, pastor of Atlanta's 30,000-member World Changers Church International; Joel Osteen, known as "the smiling preacher," with a weekly audience of seven million; T. D. Jakes, named by Time magazine one of America's most influential new religious leaders; Joyce Meyer, evangelist and women's empowerment guru; and many others. At almost any moment, day or night, the American public can tune in to these preachers-on TV, radio, podcasts, and in their megachurches-to hear the message that God desires to bless them with wealth and health. Bowler offers an interpretive framework for scholars and general readers alike to understand the diverse expressions of Christian abundance as a cohesive movement bound by shared understandings and common goals.

Book Description
PAIN CAN DEVELOP OR DESTROY... There are certain circumstances, we all go through, that make us doubt God's existence. Situations that make us ask, how could a loving God allow us to live in such a hateful world? Cancer, mass shootings, child molestation, world hunger and many other tragic experiences make us doubt if God exists or at least make us wonder if He cares. I had all of these doubts and questions when I lost both of my parents to AIDS before turning 16. Imagine being 11 years old and finding out that both your parents will be dead in a few years... This pain almost destroyed me but the same God I doubted used the pain to develop me! I want to encourage the viewers of this video to remember God is not the cause of the world's problems, sin is! Do not let the devil convince you that God is at fault for the sinful choices man makes. Despite what you SEE in your life remember what God has SAYS...HE LOVES YOU AND WILL NEVER LEAVE OR FORSAKE YOU! Give God a second chance and He will do for you the same thing he did for me! HE WILL TURN YOUR PAIN INTO YOUR PLATFORM & YOUR PROBLEMS INTO PROSPERITY!

Book Description
There's Gold Dust in the Air for You! This book is the result of several recent recessions and many years of lean living. Nobody likes recessions and nobody likes lean living-and indeed nobody should like them. For fifteen years I tried to find such a book as this one. During those years of searching the book shelves, I found that there are many books which give various success ideas, but in none of them did I find a set of compact, simple laws for assuring success. Years ago, a salesman used the power of prosperous thinking, although he may not consciously been aware of it. When people asked him, "How's business?" he always gave this standard answer: "Business is wonderful because there's gold dust in the air!" For him it certainly seemed to be so-every contact became a sale. After a while, whenever his name was mentioned, people always said, "Yes, everything he touches turns to gold. These secrets are inside. Get Your Copy Now.
