Book Description
In 1945, six African American families from St. Louis, Detroit, and Washington, D.C., began a desperate fight to keep their homes. Each of them had purchased a property that prohibited the occupancy of African Americans and other minority groups through the use of legal instruments called racial restrictive covenants--one of the most pervasive tools of residential segregation in the aftermath of World War II. Over the next three years, local activists and lawyers at the NAACP fought through the nation's courts to end the enforcement of these discriminatory contracts. Unjust Deeds explores the origins and complex legacies of their dramatic campaign, culminating in a landmark Supreme Court victory in Shelley v. Kraemer (1948). Restoring this story to its proper place in the history of the black freedom struggle, Jeffrey D. Gonda's groundbreaking study provides a critical vantage point to the simultaneously personal, local, and national dimensions of legal activism in the twentieth century and offers a new understanding of the evolving legal fight against Jim Crow in neighborhoods and courtrooms across America.

Book Description
A fresh look at the earliest Christian movement reveals what made the new faith so compelling...and what we need to change today to make it so again. Once upon a time there was a version of the Christian faith that was practically irresistible. After all, what could be more so than the gospel that Jesus ushered in? Why, then, isn't it the same with Christianity today? Author and pastor Andy Stanley is deeply concerned with the present-day church and its future. He believes that many of the solutions to our issues can be found by investigating our roots. In Irresistible, Andy chronicles what made the early Jesus Movement so compelling, resilient, and irresistible by answering these questions: What did first-century Christians know that we don't—about God's Word, about their lives, about love? What did they do that we're not doing? What makes Christianity so resistible in today's culture? What needs to change in order to repeat the growth our faith had at its beginning? Many people who leave or disparage the faith cite reasons that have less to do with Jesus than with the conduct of his followers. It's time to hit pause and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and little chance of survival. It's time to embrace the version of faith that initiated—against all human odds—a chain of events resulting in the most significant and extensive cultural transformation the world has ever seen. This is a version of Christianity we must remember and re-embrace if we want to be salt and light in an increasingly savorless and dark world.

Book Description
The globalisation of the world economy poses significant challenges for policy makers, regulators and legal professionals. The Asian and Brazilian financial crises have shown that difficulties in the banking sectors of some economies can have serious repercussions across world financial markets. It is clear that a sound legal infrastructure is crucial to promote financial stability in this global market. Particularly in the case of international bank failures, the need for harmonised and effective international insolvency procedures is becoming increasingly apparent. It is against this background that the Bank for International Settlements organised a workshop on International Bank Insolvencies in the summer of 1998. This unique book presents the edited workshop papers by expert lawyers from over twenty national central banks, the European Central Bank, the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision and the UN Commission on International Trade Law. Nineteen country reports provide a comprehensive overview of central banks and other institutions responsible for banking supervision and the co-ordination between authorities involved in insolvency procedures. The authors further discuss the instruments employed for crisis prevention and resolution and issues arising in the aftermath of a bank failure in the respective jurisdictions. In addition, twelve expert papers discuss issues ranging from specific national experiences to attempts at co-operation and harmonisation at regional and international level. The book further includes in an annex the text of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency and the EC Finality Directive.

Book Description
Divine Health must be enforced because it is a covenant right and demands a covenant responsibility!Satan the thief comes only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: But Jesus Christ is ALIVE forever so that you might have life, and have it more abundantly.There is nothing good about the devil or his activities! His mission is evil: he is out to make people poor, and sick and to destroy.To be free from the evil works of the devil requires a violent reaction and it takes the fight of faith by real believers who believe in The Name of Jesus and obey His Love Commandment to put the devil where he belongs. And that's not too cheap a task!Before Jesus came, mankind was subjected to slavery under Satan, sin and sickness due to the fall of Adam. As a result of man's state before Jesus came, it became very necessary for man to be saved, healed and delivered if he must enjoy divine health.God says "I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers."God is wishing that you may prosper and be healthy because it takes serious responsibility to prosper and live in health.Just look around and see! Less than five percent of the world's population are really rich and about 95 percent of the mankind are sick.To be healthy requires divine empowerment and so many are unwilling to pay the price so they are sick. And many are dying sick on a daily basis. Healing MUST be Enforced. Therefore, this book.Jesus said "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." "The law and the prophets were until John.
