Book Description
From where—and what—does water come? How did it become the key to life in the universe? Water from Heaven presents a state-of-the-art portrait of the science of water, recounting how the oxygen needed to form H2O originated in the nuclear reactions in the interiors of stars, asking whether microcomets may be replenishing our world's oceans, and explaining how the Moon and planets set ice-age rhythms by way of slight variations in Earth's orbit and rotation. The book then takes the measure of water today in all its states, solid and gaseous as well as liquid. How do the famous El Niño and La Niña events in the Pacific affect our weather? What clues can water provide scientists in search of evidence of climate changes of the past, and how does it complicate their predictions of future global warming? Finally, Water from Heaven deals with the role of water in the rise and fall of civilizations. As nations grapple over watershed rights and pollution controls, water is poised to supplant oil as the most contested natural resource of the new century. The vast majority of water "used" today is devoted to large-scale agriculture and though water is a renewable resource, it is not an infinite one. Already many parts of the world are running up against the limits of what is readily available. Water from Heaven is, in short, the full story of water and all its remarkable properties. It spans from water's beginnings during the formation of stars, all the way through the origin of the solar system, the evolution of life on Earth, the rise of civilization, and what will happen in the future. Dealing with the physical, chemical, biological, and political importance of water, this book transforms our understanding of our most precious, and abused, resource. Robert Kandel shows that water presents us with a series of crucial questions and pivotal choices that will change the way you look at your next glass of water.

Book Description
If you have ever hoped that you could see or experience aspects of heaven while on earth, then Heaven 3.0 is the book for you! Heaven has begun reigning down Gods messages, glory, and revelation as every day circumstances allow people to witness God promises about heaven. Consider just two facts matched against Gods promises: 1) every day in the world, over 770 people witness a glimpse of heaven through a near death experience, and 2.) Millions of people around the world have switched their religious beliefs based on a heavenly dream they experienced. Documented stories like these, allow humanity to touch heaven, and see another generational cycle of truth about heaven. Heaven 3.0 allows readers to realize we are entering a 3rd generation of knowledge about the greatest place know to every person who has and will walk planet earth; and that place is called heaven. Heaven 3.0 will challenge, delight, and inform every reader about their opportunity to enter into full view of Gods promises. God informs us to watch for signs and wonders in the heavens (Acts 2:19) and that the Heavens would open up and rain down righteousness (Isaiah 45:8). Heaven 3.0 allows readers to enjoy the promise of heaven, and realize that the advances of the world are not just for physical things such as technology, media, and entertainment; but also for the things that pertain to the Kingdom of Heaven. Both Heaven, as well as earth advance, and the Author of Heaven 3.0 encourages you to see and believe in the advancement, while staying connected to scriptural truth. This advancement allows anyone who is willing to see and believe that the common-ground and destiny called heaven, was prepared for people of every tribe, tongue, and nation.

Book Description
Water Jars of Heaven will take you on many journeys, back to a more innocent time, when God had man's ear. For man still feared god, because man had seen the power of the all mighty, and knew God could give them salvation. It cost him his son, but it costs us nothing more than a few moments of our time to be exchanged for an eternity of his. Come take the journey. Raven L. Skelton is a published, award-winning poet. She is a self-taught writer, musician, singer, and artist. She believes that God has a water jar for everyone, and it is up to us to refill it daily with the living water, which is the perfect word of God. And when we drink, not one shall go thirsty.

Book Description
In this thoughtful novel, a circle of friends and loved ones are attempting to face down their personal troubles: a deceased wife, a callous lover, an affair with a young colleague. As they stumble through the events of their own lives, they turn to one another for advice and compassion, and, occasionally, to cause more trouble. All three romances are faced with serious decisions--how to go escape their shortcomings and demons, how to move ahead, how to survive the decisions they make. In the hands of the prodigiously talented Cartwright, the lives of this rich, memorable characters feel authentic, yet buoyed by meaning and possibility. From a piercingly intelligent, prizewinning novelist comes a book about our daily longings, struggles, and the enduring power of human relationships.

Book Description
Saké, the Japanese wine distilled from rice and an essential part of Japanese culture for more than 2,000 years, is suddenly becoming one of the hippest alcoholic beverages in in the U. S. and abroad. The current rise of saké bars and saké-influenced drinks such as the sakétini are delicious evidence of this newly gained popularity. Despite this newfound buzz, most Westerners know very little about this traditional drink. There are more varieties of saké than there are of red and white wines combined. Saké is supposed to be served chilled. Only low-grade saké is heated, mainly to hide the inferior quality of the drink. In Japan, saké is rarely served with sushi, which is ironic as most Americans who drink saké only drink it with sushi. Rocky Aoki, the founder of the famous Benihana and Haru restaurants examines how the rice is grown and brewed, supplies fascinating background and history of saké in Japanese culture, describes the different varieties of saké, discusses which sakés should accompany different types of foods, and where one can purchase saké. With the same zest that he has brought to his phenomenally successful Benihana chain, which introduced the world to Japanese cuisine, Aoki will share the joy of saké. Also included is an extensive appendix guide to 100 brands of saké that are commonly found in the United States and are considered the most popular brands based on quality, price, and availability.

Book Description
The economy is a need and priority in human life that is governed by cosmic norms based on supply and demand, scarcity and abundance, production, consumption and rotation, with the rotation of planets and galaxies in the universe. It is the economy of interdependence, sharing and circulation. It’s indispensable in terms of the wisdom and appreciation and management of God in distributing the resources of His wealth, treasures, and people on the planet. God’s Universal Economy refers and clarifies the wealth of the universe or the sky and the earth, being from God. It is the right of all people on the planet, regardless of the names and affiliations, how and where they were born. They have a country, a continent, and a planet. Therefore, the book emphasizes the rights of the individual and society in terms of equality, consolation, and justice in distributing God's wealth to all people on earth, calling for love and unity of peoples, the end of conflicts, the beginning of a hot era of civilization, protection of the planet from its ruin and destruction, and the emphasis on freedoms that end at the limits of the freedom.

Heaven and hell are not a fantasy, but a reality in the spiritual realm.Dr. Jaerock Lee relates his expectations of Heaven and the afterlife to readers in Heaven I. The book is directed at the Christian audience and would offer another perspective of heaven and hell.
