A captivating, fresh analysis of Bible prophecy that sheds new light on God's eternal truths about the events of the End Times.

Forgiveness is important in international politics because it can save thousands of lives. Its opposite, vengefulness, has played a significant part in various wars of the 20th and 21st centuries. These conflicts are examined in this book, showing how forgiveness could have avoided the tremendous ensuing bloodshed. Despite its importance, in the context of international relations, forgiveness as a means of preventing the outbreak of war (as opposed to facilitating reconciliation after conflicts) has largely been neglected as a subject of study. Indeed, it has also been ignored by politicians, as a result of which there are few examples of forgiveness to study compared with those of revenge. ...

This book analyses the Uyghur community, presenting a brief historical background of the Uyghurs and debating the challenges of emerging Uyghur nationalism in the early 20th century. It elaborates on key issues within the community, such as the identity and current state of religion and worship. It also offers a thoughtful and comprehensive analysis of the Uyghur diaspora, addressing the issue of identity politics, the position of the Uyghurs in Central Asia, and the relations of the Uyghurs with Beijing, notably analyzing the 2009 Urumqi clashes and their long term impact on Turkish-Chinese relations. Re-examining Urghur identity through the lens of history, religion and politics, this is a key read for all scholars interested in China, Eurasia and questions of ethnicity and religion.
Jesus clearly prophesied that prior to his return the whole Church will be asleep (Mt. 25:5); not just the foolish virgins, but the wise as well. So why is the Church asleep, and what are the consequences? In Are We Ready for Jesus? How to Prepare for His Return, Nelson Walters offers an explanation, and challenges the Church to wake up and begin preparing for the most important event the world will ever see. Many Christians are apathetic because they believe, "Hard times won't affect me." Find out exactly how the end times will affect you and what to do about it. Uncover THE sign of Jesus's return. Learn how to evade deception from within the Church and from false messiahs, and how to avoid "falling away." Discover the signs leading to the rise of the Antichrist and learn where we ought to be looking for him. Recognize the importance of attitude in enduring the coming storm, realize the key role of Israel, and how we need to respond to God's people. Jesus commanded us over thirty times to be observant and watchful for his return. Heed the warnings and make sure you're ready. Book jacket.
