Book Synopsis Pharaoh's Dream and the 2016 Economic Boom by : Daniel Speck
Download or read book Pharaoh's Dream and the 2016 Economic Boom written by Daniel Speck and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pharaoh dreamed of seven fat cows eaten by seven lean cows. Joseph revealed God's interpretation to be seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine. As a prophetic picture of the days of Christ's return, Pharaoh's dream prophesied not only of a seven year Tribulation, but also seven years of plenty that will precede it. The seventh trumpet rapture and return of Jesus in 2030 (according to a 2,000 year Church age) places the start of the Tribulation seven years before that, in 2023. If there is to be seven years of plenty, then we can expect to see an economic boom beginning in 2016, an opportunity for believers to prepare for the "hour of testing...which is about to come upon the whole world." Revelation 3:10.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What the Bible says to know and do during the Tribulation It's 2023 and the pre-Tribulation rapture theory has collapsed. No one believes it anymore. You realize the prophecy "experts" were wrong and suddenly find yourself in the middle of the world shattering events of the Tribulation period. You recall the words of Christ: "Behold, I have told you in advance." So what happens now? This book is an answer to that question: what the Bible says will happen during the seven years of the Tribulation, and what Christians should be preparing themselves for. It's all going to occur exactly as written whether we are ready or not, so this field guide has been designed to help believers become informed and ready for the return of Jesus: "And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book." "See that you are not frightened, for these things must take place." The Lord doesn't want us to be afraid He wants us to be prepared

Book Synopsis How Did Britain Come to This? by : Gwyn Bevan
Download or read book How Did Britain Come to This? written by Gwyn Bevan and published by LSE Press. This book was released on 2023-10-23 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets, what is wrong with the design of the systems that govern Britain? And how have they resulted in failures in housing, privatisation, outsourcing, education and healthcare? In How Did Britain Come to This? Gwyn Bevan examines a century of varieties of systemic failures in the British state. The book begins and ends by showing how systems of governance explain scandals in NHS hospitals, and the failures and successes of the UK and Germany in responding to Covid-19 before and after vaccines became available. The book compares geographical fault lines and inequalities in Britain with those that have developed in other European countries and argues that the causes of Britain’s entrenched inequalities are consequences of shifts in systems of governance over the past century. Clement Attlee’s postwar government aimed to remedy the failings of the prewar minimal state, while Margaret Thatcher’s governments in the 1980s in turn sought to remedy the failings of Attlee’s planned state by developing the marketised state, which morphed into the financialised state we see today. This analysis highlights the urgent need for a new political settlement of an enabling state that tackles current systemic weaknesses from market failures and over-centralisation. This book offers an accessible, analytic account of government failures of the past century, and is essential reading for anyone who wants to make an informed contribution to what an innovative, capable state might look like in a post-pandemic world.
Book Synopsis The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by : Julian Jaynes
Download or read book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind written by Julian Jaynes and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2000-08-15 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award Finalist: “This man’s ideas may be the most influential, not to say controversial, of the second half of the twentieth century.”—Columbus Dispatch At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes's still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only three thousand years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion—and indeed our future. “Don’t be put off by the academic title of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Its prose is always lucid and often lyrical…he unfolds his case with the utmost intellectual rigor.”—The New York Times “When Julian Jaynes . . . speculates that until late in the twentieth millennium BC men had no consciousness but were automatically obeying the voices of the gods, we are astounded but compelled to follow this remarkable thesis.”—John Updike, The New Yorker “He is as startling as Freud was in The Interpretation of Dreams, and Jaynes is equally as adept at forcing a new view of known human behavior.”—American Journal of Psychiatry
Book Synopsis Re-Imagining Capitalism by : Dominic Barton
Download or read book Re-Imagining Capitalism written by Dominic Barton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capitalism has been an unprecedented engine of wealth creation for many centuries, leading to sustained productivity gains and long-term growth and lifting an increasing proportion of humanity out of poverty. But its effects, and hence its future, have come increasingly under question: Is capitalism still improving wealth and well-being for the many? Or, is long-term value creation being sacrificed to the pressures of short-termism, with potentially far-reaching consequences for society, the natural environment, prosperity, and global order? Building on a collaboration between the Schulich School of Business and global management consultancy McKinsey & Company, this volume reflects both the urgency of the needed action and the tremendous opportunity to forge consensus and catalyze a lasting movement toward a more responsible, long-term, and sustainable model of capitalism. This unique volume brings together many of the leading proponents for a reformed, re-imagined capitalism from the Âfields of academia, business, and NGOs. Its contributors have been at the forefront of thought and action in regard to the future of capitalism. Both individually and collectively, they provide powerful suggestions of what such a long-term oriented model of capitalism should look like and how it can be achieved. Drawing on their research and professional experience, they write in an accessible style aiming to reach the broad audiences required to turn a re-imagined capitalism into a reality.
Book Synopsis A Little History of the World by : E. H. Gombrich
Download or read book A Little History of the World written by E. H. Gombrich and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. H. Gombrich's Little History of the World, though written in 1935, has become one of the treasures of historical writing since its first publication in English in 2005. The Yale edition alone has now sold over half a million copies, and the book is available worldwide in almost thirty languages. Gombrich was of course the best-known art historian of his time, and his text suggests illustrations on every page. This illustrated edition of the Little History brings together the pellucid humanity of his narrative with the images that may well have been in his mind's eye as he wrote the book. The two hundred illustrations—most of them in full color—are not simple embellishments, though they are beautiful. They emerge from the text, enrich the author's intention, and deepen the pleasure of reading this remarkable work. For this edition the text is reset in a spacious format, flowing around illustrations that range from paintings to line drawings, emblems, motifs, and symbols. The book incorporates freshly drawn maps, a revised preface, and a new index. Blending high-grade design, fine paper, and classic binding, this is both a sumptuous gift book and an enhanced edition of a timeless account of human history.
Book Synopsis 2030 Second Coming by : Daniel Speck
Download or read book 2030 Second Coming written by Daniel Speck and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-21 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden in the stories of the life of Christ are prophetic clues to the year of His return. A Divine time scale recorded in Second Peter is the key that unlocks this ancient mystery. Although no man can know the day or hour, in 2030 Jesus Christ will return to rapture the Church, restore Israel and begin the thousand year Messianic age. Also revealed in the prophetic Scripture is the year that the Tribulation will begin (2023) as well as 7 years of plenty (2016) for believers to prepare for: "The test that is about to come upon the whole world."Covered as well in "2030 Second Coming" is the Seventh Trumpet post-Tribulation Rapture, deconstructing Darby's pre-Tribulation rapture, the invisible return heresy, the meaning of the Seven Seals Scroll, the Seven Churches of the last days, the restrainer is the mystery of iniquity, and the three pentagram mark of the beast.
Book Synopsis Pharaohs on Both Sides of the Blood-Red Waters by : Allan Aubrey Boesak
Download or read book Pharaohs on Both Sides of the Blood-Red Waters written by Allan Aubrey Boesak and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the civil rights and anti-apartheid struggles, are we truly living in post-racial, post-apartheid societies where the word struggle is now out of place? Do we now truly realize that, as President Obama said, the situation for the Palestinian people is “intolerable”? This book argues that this is not so, and asks, “What has Soweto to do with Ferguson, New York with Cape Town, Baltimore with Ramallah?” With South Africa, the United States, and Palestine as the most immediate points of reference, it seeks to explore the global wave of renewed struggles and nonviolent revolutions led largely by young people and the challenges these pose to prophetic theology and the church. It invites the reader to engage in a trans-Atlantic conversation on freedom, justice, peace, and dignity. These struggles for justice reflect the proposal the book discusses: there are pharaohs on both sides of the blood-red waters. Central to this conversation are the issues of faith and struggles for justice; the call for reconciliation—its possibilities and risks; the challenges of and from youth leadership; prophetic resistance; and the resilient, audacious hope without which no struggle has a future. The book argues that these revolutions will only succeed if they are claimed, embraced, and driven by the people.

Book Synopsis Savage Economics by : David L. Blaney
Download or read book Savage Economics written by David L. Blaney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-01-04 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative book challenges the most powerful and pervasive ideas concerning political economy, international relations, and ethics in the modern world. Rereading classical authors including Adam Smith, James Steuart, Adam Ferguson, Hegel, and Marx, it provides a systematic and fundamental cultural critique of political economy and critically describes the nature of the mainstream understanding of economics. Blaney and Inayatullah construct a powerful argument about how political economy and the capitalist market economy should be understood, demonstrating that poverty is a product of capitalism itself. They address the questions: Is wealth for some bought at the cost of impoverishing, colonizing, or eradicating others? What benefits of wealth might justify these human costs? What do we gain and lose by endorsing a system of wealth creation? Do even "savage cultures" contain values, critiques, and ways of life that the West still needs? Opening the way for radically different policies addressing poverty and demanding a rethink of the connections between political economy and international relations, this thought-provoking book is vital reading for students and scholars of politics, economics, IPE and international relations.
Book Synopsis The Half Has Never Been Told by : Edward E Baptist
Download or read book The Half Has Never Been Told written by Edward E Baptist and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking history demonstrating that America's economic supremacy was built on the backs of enslaved people Winner of the 2015 Avery O. Craven Prize from the Organization of American Historians Winner of the 2015 Sidney Hillman Prize Americans tend to cast slavery as a pre-modern institution -- the nation's original sin, perhaps, but isolated in time and divorced from America's later success. But to do so robs the millions who suffered in bondage of their full legacy. As historian Edward E. Baptist reveals in The Half Has Never Been Told, the expansion of slavery in the first eight decades after American independence drove the evolution and modernization of the United States. In the span of a single lifetime, the South grew from a narrow coastal strip of worn-out tobacco plantations to a continental cotton empire, and the United States grew into a modern, industrial, and capitalist economy. Told through the intimate testimonies of survivors of slavery, plantation records, newspapers, as well as the words of politicians and entrepreneurs, The Half Has Never Been Told offers a radical new interpretation of American history.
Book Synopsis Genesis Survey: Understanding the First Book of the Bible by : Edwin Walhout
Download or read book Genesis Survey: Understanding the First Book of the Bible written by Edwin Walhout and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-04-02 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does this view of Genesis violate the doctrine of revelation, inspiration, and authority of the scriptures? Indeed not. Surely God could, and did, inspire the unknown persons who wrote and compiled Genesis to write as they did, using whatever sources were at hand. The authority of Biblical versions of ancient legends is not diminished by having been adapted from pre-existing documents of the world from which Abraham came. We may believe that God was in control of the process by which these documents were transmitted, as well as of the modifications made to these ancient documents in the Hebrew accounts. There is no reason to think that the resulting documents which we now have are any less important and authoritative than if they had been provided by God by direct insertion into the minds of the authors. We may have confidence that the final result of the editorial process by which the Bible came to be written is precisely what God wanted it to be.
Book Synopsis Moses in Pharaoh's House by : John J. Markey
Download or read book Moses in Pharaoh's House written by John J. Markey and published by Anselm Academic. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Americans live in a culture of oppression, enslaved by a false sense that self-centered idealism is morally good and necessary for achieving the common good. This book uses the story of Moses and the Exodus to underscore the relationship between liberation and conversion by presenting a spirituality of conversion for the privileged and developing a connection between the liberation of the oppressed and the conversion of the privileged in North America. The book offers analysis of how this spiritualtradition can evoke personal and sociopolitical change, challenge and enrich the dominant religious and cultural ethos of North America, enhance global relationships, and offer hope for solidarity.--
Book Synopsis The Books of Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah by : Thomas Renz
Download or read book The Books of Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah written by Thomas Renz and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this commentary, Thomas Renz reads Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah as three carefully crafted writings of enduring relevance, each of which makes a vital contribution to the biblical canon. Discussing the historical settings, Renz takes up both long-standing issues, such as the relationship of Zephaniah to Josiah’s reforms, and the socioeconomic conditions of the time suggested by recent archaeological research. The place of these writings within the Book of the Twelve is given fresh consideration, including the question of what one should make of the alleged redaction history of Nahum and Habakkuk. The author’s careful translation of the text comes with detailed textual notes, illuminating some of the Bible’s most outstanding poetry (Nahum) and one of the biblical chapters that is among the most difficult to translate (Habakkuk 3). The thorough verse-by-verse commentary is followed by stimulating theological reflection, opening up avenues for teaching and preaching from these prophetic writings. No matter their previous familiarity with these and other Minor Prophets, scholars, pastors, and lay readers alike will find needed guidance in working through these difficult but important books of the Bible.
Download or read book The Buried written by Peter Hessler and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist "Extraordinary...Sensitive and perceptive, Mr. Hessler is a superb literary archaeologist, one who handles what he sees with a bit of wonder that he gets to watch the history of this grand city unfold, one day at a time.” —Wall Street Journal From the acclaimed author of River Town and Oracle Bones, an intimate excavation of life in one of the world's oldest civilizations at a time of convulsive change Drawn by a fascination with Egypt's rich history and culture, Peter Hessler moved with his wife and twin daughters to Cairo in 2011. He wanted to learn Arabic, explore Cairo's neighborhoods, and visit the legendary archaeological digs of Upper Egypt. After his years of covering China for The New Yorker, friends warned him Egypt would be a much quieter place. But not long before he arrived, the Egyptian Arab Spring had begun, and now the country was in chaos. In the midst of the revolution, Hessler often traveled to digs at Amarna and Abydos, where locals live beside the tombs of kings and courtiers, a landscape that they call simply al-Madfuna: "the Buried." He and his wife set out to master Arabic, striking up a friendship with their instructor, a cynical political sophisticate. They also befriended Peter's translator, a gay man struggling to find happiness in Egypt's homophobic culture. A different kind of friendship was formed with the neighborhood garbage collector, an illiterate but highly perceptive man named Sayyid, whose access to the trash of Cairo would be its own kind of archaeological excavation. Hessler also met a family of Chinese small-business owners in the lingerie trade; their view of the country proved a bracing counterpoint to the West's conventional wisdom. Through the lives of these and other ordinary people in a time of tragedy and heartache, and through connections between contemporary Egypt and its ancient past, Hessler creates an astonishing portrait of a country and its people. What emerges is a book of uncompromising intelligence and humanity--the story of a land in which a weak state has collapsed but its underlying society remains in many ways painfully the same. A worthy successor to works like Rebecca West's Black Lamb and Grey Falcon and Bruce Chatwin's The Songlines, The Buried bids fair to be recognized as one of the great books of our time.
Book Synopsis Paradoxes of Power by : Alfred Sherman
Download or read book Paradoxes of Power written by Alfred Sherman and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thumb through the index of almost any study of the Thatcher years — biographical, scholarly or journalistic — and you will come across the name of Sir Alfred Sherman. In her memoirs Lady Thatcher herself pays tribute to Sherman's ‘brilliance', the ‘force and clarity of his mind’, his ‘breadth of reading and his skills as a ruthless polemicist’. She credits him with a central role in her achievements, especially as Leader of the Opposition but also after she became Prime Minister. Born in 1919 in London’s East End, until 1948 Sherman was a Communist and fought in the Spanish Civil War. But he ended up an indefatigable free-market crusader. The book describes his early relationship with Sir Keith Joseph and his own role in the formation of the Centre for Policy Studies in 1974. Sherman examines the origins and development of ‘Thatcherism’, but concludes that the Conservative administrations of the 1980s were, for the most part, an ‘interlude’ and that the post-war consensus remains largely unscathed — ‘we are back to where we started’.
