Life may throw us many curves, and sometimes it feels as if we missed one and ended up over the edge. Thank goodness that we have a big God who picks us up dusts us off and helps us to see that we did not miss it after all; we just misjudged it a little and only swerved. I often wonder if I am the only one that ever feels that way. Sometimes it seems that we are the only ones with a particular problem and are ashamed of the life we have been dealt. Through all of the hardships, abuse, depression, and bullyingthrough losing my father and almost losing everything I had come to know and loveI found the Lord. It is through his grace that I am now free from all the bondage I was held in for so many years. I can choose to be lost, or choose to be found. I choose to be found. I have a peace about me and, for the first time in my life, am truly happy. This book is a collection of stories from my life. You will read about the ups, the downs, the tears, and the laughter. You will learn how I went for thirty-nine years of my life without the Lord and see how these stories are my Footsteps toward Grace.
Inspired by years of research asking how was it really? Looking at all the available genealogy files everyone uploaded to the internet and deciding which ones made sense and which ones could not work, the files were examined and the charts were made. Five Era's are considered. The time from pre history to Noah, from Noah to Abraham, From Abraham to David, from David to Babylon, From Babylon to Galilee, and then Christianity. Finding many researchers on the internet this work would not have been possible without the internet and computers, as well as texts and other books written on the subject of Saints. A Study of how each apostle was appointed to each rank, and how the greek gods were appointed to each rank, and how to make it all work together, As well as a study of what each rank would prevent. A quote from the Antiquities of the Jews about the Aaronic Priesthood. Any reader of Christianity would benefit from the book, and would likely learn something.

You are not alone. Our story, like yours, is a story of the faithfulness of Jesus throughout the tapestry of our lives. From circumstances that seem so trivial that they go unnoticed to the devastating situations that shake our very existence, the one thing that we can know for certain is that faithful Jesus is always working and will never leave you or forsake you. Ours is a story where the doctors told us of the impossibilities, but through one miracle after another Jesus remained faithful to His Word. If you need to be encouraged, if you need hope restored, if you need a reminder of the faithfulness of Jesus in your life, this book was written for you. Broken Healer is an unusual autobiographywritten not in one voice, but two, giving the book a dual perspective that greatly enriches the story. Dans accident may have turned their world upside down, but Dan and Miriams faith in Jesus, their broken healer, is an inspiration to everyone who knows them. Their willingness to share the dark places of their brokenness with openness and honesty is to be admired and should be a source of encouragement to all who read this book.

How was Alexander Pope's personal experience of women transformed into poetry? How characteristic of his age was Pope's attitude toward women? What was the influence of individual women such as his mother, Patty Blount and Lady Mary Montagu on his life and work? Valerie Rumbold's is the first full-length study to address these issues. Referring to previously unexploited manuscripts, she focuses both on Pope's own life and art, and on early eighteenth-century assumptions about women and gender. She offers readings of some of the well-known poems in which women feature prominently, and follows Pope's response throughout his writings in general. The poet's own alienation from the dominant culture (through religion, politics and physical handicap), and his troubled fascination with certain kinds of women, make this subject complex and compelling, with wide implications. Dr. Rumbold provides new insight, and shows how women with whom Pope dealt can themselves be seen as individuals with presence and dignity.
This important collection of essays, originating in a 1989 conference on the disadvantaged in American health care, provides incisive commentary on U.S. health care policy and politics. Examining public responses to health crises and analyzing the political logic of the American community, this volume charts the immobility of U.S. health policy in recent years and points to its disastrous consequences for the 1990s. Focusing on the particular needs of disadvantaged groups--the elderly, children, people with AIDS, the mentally ill, the chemically dependent, the homeless, the hungry, the medically uninsured--these essays develop strong policy statements. The authors describe the growth in U.S....

A fresh look at the greatest poet of early eighteenth-century England, this highly readable book focuses on Pope's religious thinking and major poems. G. Douglas Atkins extends the argument that the Roman Catholic poet was no Deist, 'closet' or otherwise.
The poetry of the mid- and late-eighteenth century has long been regarded as primarily private and apolitical; in this wide-ranging study Dustin Griffin argues that in fact the poets of the period were addressing the great issues of national life--rebellion at home, imperial wars abroad, an expanding commercial empire, an emerging new British national identity. Taking up the topic of patriotic verse, Griffin shows that poets such as Thomas Gray, Christopher Smart, Oliver Goldsmith, and William Cowper were engaged in the century-long debate about the nature of true patriotism.
