  Don John of Austria: the emperor's bastard raised as a village boy, the victor of Lepanto at twenty-four, the governor of the Netherlands dead at thirty-one. Luis Coloma was a Jesuit and a novelist who worked from the Spanish archives, and his life of Don John was the standard one for fifty years. The account of Lepanto is written from the dispatches of men who were in the galleys. Fifty-nine plates, among them Titian and Turner, trace the galleys, sea battles and portraits of the age, giving the Lepanto dispatches a visual counterpart.

  Should Christians support the modern state of Israel?  How should we view Israel, the Jewish people, and the church? What makes Israel so special?Israel and the Jewish people always seem to be in the headlines. Terrorism. War. Antisemitism on university campuses and around the globe. Jews are the topics of conversation in podcasts, on school campuses, and in our homes. Yet Christians are wondering about the modern State of Israel and contemporary Jewish people. Are they related to the biblical kingdom of Israel and the ancient Jewish people of the Scriptures? Others question whether Jewish people are only God’s people of yesterday, or do they have an ongoing place in God’s plan? How does the Church relate to the Jewish people and why should Christians care about the Jewish people and their homeland? A biblical worldview ought to clarify our confusion and guide our viewpoints.  How Should Christians Think about Israel? seeks to answer our questions, using a scriptural outlook rather than a political perspective. With the Bible as his guide, Dr. Michael Rydelnik takes readers to ancient prophecies and their fulfillment in modern times, exploring Israel’s unique identity and the special role Israel will play in God’s plan.This essential resource provides clear and sensible answers to your questions about Israel and the Jewish people. Having served as Professor of Jewish Studies and Bible at Moody Bible Institute for more than 30 years, Dr. Rydelnik is uniquely able to bring scriptural insight and practical positions to the controversial and confusing subject of Israel and the Jewish people.

  The Dhammapada Vol10 - The Way...

  Osho

  Wisdom, says Buddha, arises from within, and is the only true knowledge. In The Dhammapada Osho speaks on wisdom, which he calls knowing, and on the difference between knowing and knowledge. Knowing, he says, is spontaneous response: it comes from inner silence, it is our own truth, an existential experience. Knowledge is dependent on the past, it is mechanical, it is second-hand, it comes from another, and hides the truth from ourselves. Knowing gives us inner direction; knowledge only outer direction. And the key to the intuitive faculty of knowing is meditation.

  Uncharted - A Rediscovered...

  The Americas have had native groups living there for more than ten thousand years, but Columbus was surely not their first visitors. Uncharted covers a range of cultures who seemingly have been visiting the Americas since long before Columbus. Evidence is explored of potential Roman and Phoenician shipwrecks off the coast of South America through to Celtic and Norse exploration of Northern America. Put simply, the history of the discovery of the North America is all wrong. How did the Knights Templar influence the discovery of the new world? What do the Sinclair family, Rosslyn chapel, and two venetian brothers have to do with the discovery of a new continent? How did the Vikings navigate their way? With source materials dating back through millennia, including very recent finds, this book will induce you to thought about a side of history still so readily dismissed by some. 
   
   
    
  Uncharted tackles the evidence and stories of visiting distant lands that abound from many cultures, such the Egyptian, Greeks, Celts, Vikings, as well as various people from Asia; and one large Chinese group likely settled in the Americas in 100 BC, which current DNA evidence supports. Columbus should be remembered, but remembered for the conquering tyrant he was. These other groups did not come to conquer, but to trade, explore, and escape.

  Marine Speak: Collected Stories...

  From the wire surrounding a Vietnam compound to the uneasy journey home, J. R. Henry T'Ostian tells his story in the language he lived it. 
  Marine Speak is an unfiltered autobiography of a young Marine's experiences in Vietnam during 1968 and 1969, and the memories that followed him into civilian life. Through convoy ambushes, nights at an observation post, friendships forged under fire, and a brief escape to Australia on R&R, T'Ostian recalls a world where danger, loyalty, grief, and dark humor shared the same ground. 
  At the heart of his account are the men beside him: the friends who made the days bearable, the Marines he depended on, and those whose absence he would carry long after leaving Vietnam. Returning home brought its own struggles—learning to live beyond combat while remaining bound to the people and experiences that had shaped him. 
  Alongside his military memories, T'Ostian shares personal reflections, poems, and irreverent stories about love, betrayal, faith, forgiveness, and survival. His voice is blunt, profane, sometimes angry, and deeply personal. 
  For readers of Vietnam veteran autobiographies and Marine Corps memoirs, Marine Speak offers one man's account of service, loss, and the lifelong meaning of being a Marine. 
  Contains strong language, graphic accounts of violence, and explicit sexual material. Intended for adult readers.
