Book Description
Standing on the promises of God, many either proclaim or sing, yet without the understanding of Covenant, believing faith is challenged before it even gets started. Sadly, many are losing hope in the face of tragedy and trials. Embracing the truths revealed in the seven holy covenants dispels the darkness of biblical misunderstandings. What's more, covenant imagery illuminates the hidden mysteries of God's extravagant love for His people. Trusting God with the whole being is made possible as the tight grip of harassing fear and strangling worry is broken through covenantal truths. Come journey with me on Promise River as we explore the breathtaking revelations of Jesus from Eden to His Incarnation. Our voyage will culminate at Golgotha's point and the victorious truths of the New Covenant. Here doubt is diminished, shame shattered, and faith exponentially increased. Standing on God's promises will never be the same! Reverend Kathie Kuhn is a Bible teacher, author, and international speaker who was a staff pastor at an Ohio church for over 31 years; she was also the Professor of Old Testament Studies and Dean of Students at Hosanna Bible Training Center. Kathie served for over ten years on the faculty of the Pastors of Excellence Program at Ashland Theological Seminary. Now semi-retired, she is the founder of Promise River Ministries, a soul care ministry specializing in spiritual direction for pastoral leadership. She assists Christian leaders and churches both locally and around the globe to develop strengths, heal hurts, and create positive change through Christ-centered soul care and spiritual direction. Kathie is a widowed mother of eight and grandmother of fourteen who enjoys writing, reading, and walking on the beach. Reverend Kuhn's ministry is one of personal transformation, restoration, and grace as she continues the journey to authentic spirituality. www.promiseriver.com

Her dad was already withdrawn; now he becomes silent, drinking too much and leaving Ethie and her brother Kipper to fend for themselves.

The Promise of the Grand Canyon
Author: John F. Ross
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0143128957
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
“A convincing case for Powell’s legacy as a pioneering conservationist.”--The Wall Street Journal "A bold study of an eco-visionary at a watershed moment in US history."--Nature A timely, thrilling account of the explorer who dared to lead the first successful expedition down the Colorado through the Grand Canyon—and waged a bitterly-contested campaign for sustainability in the West. John Wesley Powell’s first descent of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon in 1869 counts among the most dramatic chapters in American exploration history. When the Canyon spit out the surviving members of the expedition—starving, battered, and nearly naked—they had accomplished what others thought impossible and finished the exploration of continental America that Lewis and Clark had begun almost 70 years before. With The Promise of the Grand Canyon, John F. Ross tells how that perilous expedition launched the one-armed Civil War hero on the path to becoming the nation’s foremost proponent of environmental sustainability and a powerful, if controversial, visionary for the development of the American West. So much of what he preached—most broadly about land and water stewardship—remains prophetically to the point today.

Landscapes of Promise
Author: William G. Robbins
Publisher: University of Washington Press
ISBN: 0295989696
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
Landscapes of Promise is the first comprehensive environmental history of the early years of a state that has long been associated with environmental protection. Covering the period from early human habitation to the end of World War II, William Robbins shows that the reality of Oregon's environmental history involves far more than a discussion of timber cutting and land-use planning. Robbins demonstrates that ecological change is not only a creation of modern industrial society. Native Americans altered their environment in a number of ways, including the planned annual burning of grasslands and light-burning of understory forest debris. Early Euro-American settlers who thought they were taming a virgin wilderness were merely imposing a new set of alterations on an already modified landscape. Beginning with the first 18th-century traders on the Pacific Coast, alterations to Oregon's landscape were closely linked to the interests of global market forces. Robbins uses period speeches and publications to document the increasing commodification of the landscape and its products. "Environment melts before the man who is in earnest," wrote one Oregon booster in 1905, reflecting prevailing ways of thinking. In an impressive synthesis of primary sources and historical analysis, Robbins traces the transformation of the Oregon landscape and the evolution of our attitudes toward the natural world.

Pages : 554
Book Description
"[An] ambitious economic history of the united States...rich with details." ?—David Leonhardt, New York Times Book Review How did a weak collection of former British colonies become an industrial, financial, and military colossus? From the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries, the American economy has been transformed by wave after wave of emerging technology: the steam engine, electricity, the internal combustion engine, computer technology. Yet technology-driven change leads to growing misalignment between an innovative economy and anachronistic legal and political structures until the gap is closed by the modernization of America's institutions—often amid upheavals such as the Civil War and Reconstruction and the Great Depression and World War II. When the U.S. economy has flourished, government and business, labor and universities, have worked together in a never-ending project of economic nation building. As the United States struggles to emerge from the Great Recession, Michael Lind clearly demonstrates that Americans, since the earliest days of the republic, have reinvented the American economy - and have the power to do so again.

Charlotte. I thought I'd lost my bag for good. Until, the cutest guy I ever laid eyes on hung out of the moving train's window holding my bag. He wanted to chuck it to me, but my precious laptop was in it. So we agreed to meet at the next station. To thank my six foot plus Adonis I offered to buy him a drink. It was only right. He saved my bag, and he had twinkling cobalt blue eyes that made my toes curl. He was funny and charming and gorgeous at the bar. And the chemistry... off the charts, but I had career dreams that didn't include handsome bag rescuers. A few more drinks later I was rethinking my plans. Alex Turner looked like he would be great in bed, and I had a box of condoms back at my place. Surely one night was allowed...
