KEY TO NORTHWEST EUROPEAN ORIGINS
The Key to Northwest European Origins represents many years of painstaking research by Raymond Franklin McNair (deceased October 11, 2008). Mr McNair’s unique book is the result of dedicated research that was undertaken in a range of disciplines including theology, ancient history, anthropology, genetics and mythology. This ground-breaking book seeks to understand why God worked through the little nation of Israel; what happened to the Israelites after the nation fell to the Assyrians; what the original Israelites looked like; and how we can prove the Israelites migrated into northwest Europe. Once we know where Israel is located during these last days, we are then able to understand the Biblical prophecies pertaining to them, according to Raymond McNair. This stunning book opens up the reader’s mind to God’s supernatural intervention in world affairs as He guides nations to their allocated lands through subtle and not so subtle maneuverings and intrigues. Reading like a detective story, this easy to read work is a must for all ages. “
Out of the Shadows
Who was Mary De Morgan and why should she be dragged out of the shadows cast by her illustrious parents, her male siblings and the members of the Arts and Crafts circle in which she moved? Why should the academic spotlight be shone onto her life and works? De Morgan (1850–1907) was undoubtedly a woman of her time: she was unmarried and therefore one of the million or so “odd” women who had to earn their own living, which she did mainly by writing. She was one of the many who took part in the great effort to “improve” the lives of the poor in the East End of London; she was caught up in the spiritualist phenomena, not only because her mother was an ardent supporter and practitioner,...
Progress and Its Impact on the Nagas
The term ’progress’ is a modern Western notion that life is always improving and advancing toward an ideal state. It is a vital modern concept which underlies geographic explorations and scientific and technological inventions as well as the desire to harness nature in order to increase human beings’ ease and comfort. With the advent of Western colonization and to the great detriment of the colonized, the notion of progress began to perniciously and pervasively permeate across cultures. This book details the impact of the notion of progress on the Nagas and their culture. The interaction between the Nagas and the West, beginning with British military conquest and followed by American m...
Visible and Apostolic
This book examines the development of high church Anglican ecclesiology in the half century following the Glorious Revolution of 1688. It attempts to demonstrate that a significant body of Christians existed in England who espoused a traditionalist and often primitivist Christianity.
Expository Writing
Expository Writing It would not be rash to say that more expository thinking is done than any other kind of mental activity. The child who dismantles a clock to find its secret is doing expository thinking; the official, of however complicated a business, who ponders ways and means, is trying to satisfy his business curiosity; the artist who studies the effect of balance, of light and shade, of exclusion or inclusion, is thinking in exposition; politicians are ceaselessly active in explaining to themselves how they may, and to their constituents how they did. We cannot escape Exposition. The question then arises, since this form of writing is always with us how can we make it effective and e...
