  The book of Nehemiah is about starting over again. Nehemiah, one of Israel's great leaders, tells firsthand the powerful story of rebuilding ancient Jerusalem's walls after the exile. In the face of great odds, this rebuilding represented the people's renewal of faith, their overcoming of national shame, and the reformation of their conduct.
  In this volume, Raymond Brown vividly sketches Nehemiah's historical and social setting and demonstrates the book's striking relevance for today. He explores the dominant themes of Nehemiah's doctrine of God, passion for Scripture, experience of prayer, and example of leadership. In describing Nehemiah the man, Brown concludes, "He must surely be regarded as one of the most inventive and resilient personalities in the rich tapestry of Old Testament biography."
  Part of the beloved Bible Speaks Today series, The Message of Nehemiah 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 Scripture quotations with a new interior design.

  A Christian Marriage Guide -...

  Whether you are newlyweds, been happily married awhile, or currently going through a rough patch in your marriage, the following statement is truly true. Arguments WILL happen. 
  Even the best of marriages WILL have arguments. Yes, even in your happy marriage you WILL have arguments.  
  I'm not wishing bad on your relationship. No person is perfect right? Which means no two 'persons' in a relationship are perfect.  
  What separates "good" marriages from "bad" marriages isn't the absence of arguments. It's how frequently, disrespectfully, or selfishly they happen.  
  Do you have the emotional intelligence needed to avoid arguing frequently? Or are you thinking that just loving each other, automatically means you and your spouse will communicate perfectly?  
  For over 20 years I have closely and obsessively watched spouses communicate in marriage. Many many failed due to lack of knowledge on the subject. I've also watched many succeed and observed why they succeeded.  
  What separates marriages that were happy marriages and got it right, from, the marriages that weren't sacred marriages, and got it wrong?  
  Communication skills.  
  Jesus made communication in marriage simple, with ONE verse.  
  Mark 10:8 NASB:" AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. 
  That's it. 
  When I give my workshops, have panel discussions, or counsel my clients they are absolutely amazed on how deeply Jesus' verse quickly and simply leads to less arguments. Let this book be one of your marital aids. 
  Our flesh typically thinks of what the "self" wants. Not what the two "selfs" that are now in a significant spiritual union wants.  
  Marriage was meant to be a earthly model, of a heavenly union. 
  We CANNOT approach a Christian marriage with worldly thoughts. And, let me say this clearly and respectfully. If it is not Jesus leading your marriage, by applying His truths to your marriage, then you are leading your marriage from an earthly perspective, not a Christian perspective.  
  Communication in marriage is complicated. But, who says it has to be difficult? Usually, your arguments could have been solved quickly, and easily, had you had marriage aids.  
  Marriage workshops are an aid. 
  A marriage counselor is an aid. 
  This book that you should really, prayerfully consider buying now is also an aid. 
  In this book you will learn to: 
  How to communicate Jesus's way 
  How to communicate fairly, and unselfishly 
  How to wisely avoid many arguments 
  How to create more unity in your marriage 
  How to peacefully navigate through heated arguments 
  How to understand and respect each other's differences 
  How to create more unity in your marriage 
  BONUS 
  During my 20 years of research, I also took my observations into Spoken Word Poetry. Included in this book, are also poems biblical based that shares quick insights on what I have observed, poetically expressed. If you don't get this book, I encourage you to find some marital aids that can help you with communication in marriage. I have watched WAYY too many spouses fail, all because of a refusal to rely on anything other than their own emotional intelligence. 
  Pride, by far, ends more relationships than death does. </

  Pan and Me - Metaphysical...

  In this latest book about my most recent metaphysical journeys, I had two ideas that I wanted to follow through on: I wanted to see and experience the great forests of Gondwanaland; and, I wanted to see and experience what existed on a higher frequency within the one hectare of garden that I currently call home. All the rest was spontaneous, as a greater metaphysical world reality revealed to me wonders of which I had never even dreamed. Truly, I had no intention of being washed up on the shores of Mars, and the Inner Earth was a destination I had long ago surrendered. And as for being involved in end-of-term exams... no way! However, as always, timing is everything. It is so with Nature and it is so with humanity... if we allow. 
  As I mature with the years and wisdom grows, my journeys take me ever deeper into the great Truths that underline all life, all Nature... and beyond.

  New Jerusalem

  The opinions expressed are not necessarily those of anyone involved in the production of this book, and are not the views of LibriVox.Dale Ahlquist calls the book a "philosophical travelogue" of Chesterton's journey across Europe to Palestine. "On the road to Cairo one may see twenty groups exactly like that of the Holy Family in the pictures of the Flight into Egypt; with only one difference. The man is riding on the ass."  
   
  "The real mistake of the Muslims is something much more modern in its application than any particular passing persecution of Christians as such. It lay in the very fact that they did think they had a simpler and saner sort of Christianity, as do many modern Christians. They thought it could be made universal merely by being made uninteresting. Now a man preaching what he thinks is a platitude is far more intolerant than a man preaching what he admits is a paradox. It was exactly because it seemed self-evident, to Muslims as to Bolshevists, that their simple creed was suited to everybody, that they wished in that particular sweeping fashion to impose it on everybody." (Summary from Wikipedia)
