  What is life all about? In the end, is it no more than a wisp of vapor, a puff of wind, a mere breath? So says the Preacher in the book of Ecclesiastes. But is this the whole message of Ecclesiastes?
  With imagination and clarity, Derek Kidner introduces this unusual Old Testament book that speaks so powerfully to each new generation. He reveals how the Preacher confronts difficult questions and examines extremes of human experience, facing the fear that God is distant and nothing has meaning. Finally, however, we are led to encounter the God who was present all along, who cares about the details of our lives.
  Part of the beloved Bible Speaks Today series, The Message of Ecclesiastes offers an insightful, readable exposition of the biblical text and thought-provoking discussion of how its meaning relates to contemporary life. Used by students and teachers around the world, the Bible Speaks Today commentaries are ideal for those studying or preaching the Bible and anyone who wants to delve deeper into the text. This revised edition of a classic volume features lightly updated language and current NRSV Scripture quotations with a new interior design.

  The prophets were chosen by Allah to guide mankind to the Divine Path. They faced many difficulties and suffered severe hardships in their efforts to call their straying people to obey and worship Allah. This edition of Stories of the Prophets of Allah presents the lives of Allah's prophets (peace and blessing be upon them). The stores were written by the renowned Islamic scholar's Maulana Syed Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi. He was one of the greatest living authorities on Islam in the past century and his works are used as textbooks throughout the Arab and Muslim world. 
  This translation from a major Arabic work provides English speaking Muslims with the benefits of Maulana Syed Abul Hasan's scholarship. The stories which have been drawn from the Holy Quran constantly reflect the author's depth of knowledge. They are written in a lively style with subtleties explained and descriptions vividly portrayed to provide the reader with a clear picture of each Prophet's mission. 
  Each story is a delight to read and should provide both adults and children with a fresh insight into the life of the men Allah chose to guide their communities. The story of the last Prophet has not been included in this edition as it deserves a book to itself. 
  To ensure that young people receive all the guidance, knowledge and inspiration that Stories of the Prophets of Allah offers, a workbook is included and attached with the audio.

  The Thirty Years’ War - The Most...

  The Thirty Years' War, a protracted and catastrophic conflict, raged from 1618 to 1648, primarily within the borders of the Holy Roman Empire. Often regarded as one of the most devastating wars in European history, it is estimated that between 4.5 to 8 million people perished as a result of the conflict, with some regions of Germany experiencing population losses exceeding 50%. This war, though often thought of in isolation, was deeply interconnected with several other significant European conflicts, including the Eighty Years' War, the War of the Mantuan Succession, the Franco-Spanish War, and the Portuguese Restoration War. 
  For much of the history of the conflict, historians regarded the Thirty Years' War as a continuation of the religious struggles that had begun during the Reformation and were seemingly concluded with the Peace of Augsburg in 1555. The Peace of Augsburg had divided the Holy Roman Empire into Catholic and Lutheran states, but the rapid spread of Protestantism, particularly beyond these established boundaries, steadily eroded Imperial authority in the years that followed. While religion undeniably played a role in sparking the conflict, scholars generally agree that the broader struggle for European supremacy between the Habsburgs of Austria and Spain, and the House of Bourbon in France, fueled the war's escalation and far-reaching impact.
