Doctors perform procedures but God is the Healer. In “Solitary Consignment” Dr. Bert Park, a neurosurgeon is called into the mission field. A real life story set as a trial complete with prosecution, defense and closing arguments, Dr. Park encounters some 25 ‘witnesses’ and the timeless truths of Christ’s Beatitudes as expressed in Matthew Chapter 5.

Miracles don’t lead to lasting faith; rather, faith merely affirms the miraculous. Is the mere confession that Christ is Lord and a belief that God raised Him from the dead, all that’s required? Will Jesus’ verdict reveal that we are ‘guilty as believers’? Or will we come up short?

He discusses the historical situations in which these political leaders functioned and the effects their illnesses might have had on the decisions they made. Park argues that the impact of aging and disease on leadership abilities is an important, potentially devastating problem which has been ignored by the people in a position ...

Focusing on the terms of TWELVE opposition presidents, Crockett details the approaches they have taken to maximize their own...

How did Britain cease to be global? In Untied Kingdom, Stuart Ward tells the panoramic history of the end of Britain, tracing the ways in which Britishness has been imagined, experienced, disputed and ultimately discarded across the globe since the end of the Second World War. From Indian independence, West Indian immigration and African decolonization to the Suez Crisis and the Falklands War, he uncovers the demise of Britishness as a global civic idea and its impact on communities across the globe. He also shows the consequences of this diminished 'global reach' in Britain itself, from the Troubles in Northern Ireland to resurgent Englishness and the startling success of separatist political agendas in Scotland and Wales. Untied Kingdom puts the contemporary travails of the Union for the first time in their full global perspective as part of the much larger story of the progressive rollback of Britain's imaginative frontiers.
