Out of the Ashes
Elizabeth recounts her journey from being born into a Muslim family in Liberia, to becoming a Christian and a refugee in the Ivory Coast due to one of Africa's bloodiest and brutal civil wars, being separated from family members who were stranded in Liberia, and finding her way with her family to a new life in the United States.
The Reason for Tears
LIBERIA, ISLAM, AND A PASTOR'S SEARCH FOR RECONCILIATION IN AN AGE OF TERROR Though she'd loved, taught, and protected him when he was younger, Tony Weedor's Muslim mother Manifah disowned him after he abandoned his imam training to follow Jesus. Tony finished college and went to work for a missionary agency. After barely escaping civil war in his native Liberia, he spent three years in a refugee camp with his wife and daughter before being brought to America, where he graduated from seminary and began a career in international ministry. Now, after an absence of thirteen years, Pastor Tony Weedor returns in the wake of 9/11 to a Liberia devastated by war hoping to reconcile with the woman he still calls "Mama."
Finding Simplicity
Life is complicated. Even in the moments when our circumstances seem relatively smooth, a look at the world around us reveals problems far beyond our ability to solve. Amid this chaos, most of us are longing for a simpler life. When Jesus walked the earth, He, too, faced a complicated world. But, instead of surrendering to its chaotic pull, He modeled a life of simplicity. This same type of purposeful life Jesus lived, He offers to us. Finding Simplicity walks through the book of James, exploring how we can follow Jesus' example and put His teachings into practice. James goes straight to the heart of the issues we face challenging us to choose simplicity over complexity, exercise God's wisdom, and discover the joy in every day.
The Man Who Built the Cross
Josiah was sleeping soundly. Suddenly the pounding on his door would start. The Roman soldiers stormed into his house shouting for him to get up. The officer screamed, "Do you have a cross ready? We have orders to prepare an extra crucifixion for the morning."Josiah, still in a fog from being in a deep sleep, stumbled through the house to deal with the unruly solider. "Who is the criminal tonight?" he asked.The centurion looked at him and simply said, "Jesus of Nazareth."Josiah's head snapped around involuntarily. "Who?""Jesus of Nazareth," the officer answered in an offhanded manner. Then another gruff command came his way. "Are you going to get us that cross, or are we going to mail you to...
Troubled But Not Destroyed
David Gitari, third Archbishop of Kenya, was one of the first post-colonial global Anglican leaders. He challenged Kenya's politicians, survived attempted assassination, devised new worship services, reformed the Anglican Communion's pastoral care of polygamists and consolidated Anglican orthodoxy as a global movement with leadership from Africans. He kept a diary of 'daily occurrences' throughout his life. His book is a unique resource for African Church History in the twentieth century.
Eli
It was a classic showdown between Minnesota and Los Angeles in the Metrodome. No one could understand why we were in game seven of the World Series and Eli McBrien had not been seen since game one, when he struck out twenty-four batters in eight innings. Todd Rucket was up to bat. Against the LA pitching staff, he had been making all the pitchers look like rank amateurs. Henderson, LA's manager, walked out to the mound. Eli had been warming up gently through the last inning. His arm seemed a bit sore. But when the game was on the line, they were going to go with their twenty-year-old sensation. Young Eli McBrien has a secret ambition. This ambition is not to be the greatest pitcher ever to step on a baseball diamond (even though he is). It's not to make millions of dollars (even though he eventually does.) His secret ambition is developed by God the Father Himself as he guides Eli through his life. Every aspect of his life is pointed toward that secret ambition. Follow along on Eli's journey in Eli: Greatness Begins to see how the Father guides Eli McBrien through trials and triumphs on and off the diamond.
Eli
It was October 2018. Eli stood on the mound looking down at Rucket, his shoulder was throbbing. The first two pitches had taken their toll. He threw, and the ball was so fast it could barely be seen. Rucket fanned it. He was out. As Rucket fanned it, the pain Eli felt just about drove him to his knees. He looked to the stands, saw that his mom and Jill were sitting together praying. He smiled and prayed. "Father, just get me through this inning" was the thought that went through his mind. Would these three pitches be the last he ever threw as a professional? Would this be the time when God the Father started the wheels turning for Eli's secret ambition to finally be realized? Is this the time when all of the things he has been working to accomplish start to fall into place? Come along as Eli, Jill, Sam, Corrine, and Aaron work together to see the greatness in all of them come to completeness. It's time for the greatness to be completed.
Marijuana and the Cannabinoids
Although primarily used today as one of the most prevalent illicit leisure drugs, the use of Cannabis sativa L., commonly referred to as marijuana, for medicinal purposes has been reported for more than 5000 years. Marijuana use has been shown to create numerous health problems, and, consequently, the expanding use beyond medical purposes into recreational use (abuse) resulted in control of the drug through international treaties. Much research has been carried out over the past few decades following the identification of the chemical structure of THC in 1964. The purpose of Marijuana and the Cannabinoids is to present in a single volume the comprehensive knowledge and experience of renowned researchers and scientists. Each chapter is written independently by an expert in his/her field of endeavor, ranging from the botany, the constituents, the chemistry and pharmacokinetics, the effects and consequences of illicit use on the human body, to the therapeutic potential of the cannabinoids.

Therapeutic Uses of Cannabis
At the last Annual Representative Meeting of the British Medical Association a motion was passed that `certain additional cannabinoids should be legalized for wider medicinal use.'' This report supports this landmark statement by reviewing the scientific evidence for the therapeutic use of cannabinoids and sets the agenda for change. It will be welcomed by those who believe that cannabinoids can be used in medical treatment. The report discusses in a clear and readable form the use and adverse effects of the drug for nausea, multiple sclerosis, pain, epilepsy, glaucoma, and asthma.
