    Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - When eighth-grade schoolteacher Roger Taylor turned forty, he decided to invest in a new set of wheels-a Honda Element, not the type of car you might expect from a man in a midlife crisis. But the car was just the catalyst for Taylor's real midlife adventure: a journey across North America and back again. In this unique portrait of a great American road trip, Taylor describes the breathtaking scenery, vivid experiences, and personal insights that framed his journey of self-discovery in the summer of 2003. From amusing stories of teachers camping in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, to an encounter with armadillos in Texas and a never-ending hike on the Appalachian Trail, Taylor reflects on somber moments within the still, serene places of the natural world and shares fascinating historical details about some of the most memorable tourist sites on the continent. His insights will lead you to appreciate the power of nature, the beauty of North America, and the value of reconnecting with family and self.…

    Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A remarkable and compelling story about a Jewish boy¿s coming of age during World War II, his survival, and ultimately, the transformation of his life as an American. Joseph Garay¿s life story is an object lesson about perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles -- from the loss of his entire family in the concentration camps, to his survival in the Jewish Underground in Bratislava and elsewhere; from his joining the partisan underground and his enlistment in the Czechoslovakian division of the Romanian Red Army to fight the Nazis, to his meeting and marrying his wife. It is also a lesson about the remarkable acts of a single individual, Joseph Paserin, who protected Garay during those tumultuous war years despite grave risk to his own and his family¿s safety. The actions of Paserin ultimately enabled Garay to start anew in New York City -- to build a new family and to enjoy the safety and security of American freedom.…

    Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Statue of Liberty likeness illustrated on the cover of Enlightenment is a very symbolic image not only for Americans but for many other people of the world who harbor dreams for 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.' However, there are many individual and collective responsibilities that come with any such vision. Most Americans know orderly governmental systems are required to maintain a civilized culture, but in many societies one often wonders what type is most appropriate. While the western democracy structure has had significant success to date, it is far from perfect even within the United States. The author has spent the past forty years working within national and international governmental systems from the grass roots local level to regional, state, and federal jurisdictions. In this book, he notes the timeless lessons learned from experience and history as well as new and innovative ways to utilize the modern age of information technology. The net result is an effort to create new public excellence from tired work cultures. In the future, it is clear that economic globalization with its associated social and cultural impacts will bring about a new competition between many societies and their related governmental structures. This simple reality means that less efficient future governments will jeopardize the very viability of their own cultures. Therefore, if Americans wish to effectively compete on the coming international level of tomorrow, they must get their collective governmental house in order today. Enlightenment illustrates how a healthy competitive environment can be developed and sustained without jeopardizing any of the freedoms and opportunities we have come to expect.…

    Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Born to Rule is the autobiography of an African president-monarch. He writes about his 30-year reign during which he has been in the driver's seat leading his country on the cobbled road from underdevelopment to underdevelopment. The author points out that as the head of one of the poorest countries on earth, his people and the world must hear from him first-hand about the policies he has been adopting to maintain his country in a permanent state of disrepair and bemused underdevelopment. The author writes volubly about his background, education, family, and policies in various areas such as foreign affairs, education, agriculture, sports, economic planning, environmental protection, internal security, tourism, religion, armed forces, information, democratization, etc.Born to Rule is compellingly incisive, satiric, and tongue-in-cheek and, in some places, trenchantly hard-hitting and humorous in its brutal portrayal of the way Mandzah and, by extension, the African continent, is managed and mismanaged.…

    Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Kitty Gentile began her life on Manhattan's Upper West Side. A selfish and unfeeling child, she was pampered by parents too busy and accomplished to provide love and nurturing, thus contributing to her flawed development. Kitty attended exclusive nursery schools and camps, an elite boarding school and an Ivy League College before her marriage to a wealthy and faithless Chicago commodities trader triggered a high risk life style. Resettled in Manhattan, Kitty becomes a court reporter and begins a dangerous journey of seeking out men to control through daring sexual encounters until she takes on two NYPD hero Detectives, Jimmy Collins and Mike Walker. Kitty tries to dominate and then harm them through sadistic behavior, including framing one of the Detectives for murder, and attempting to copy the infamous, 1964, Kitty Genovese killing to punish the other, who had rejected her. This fast paced thriller also encounters a powerful and ruthless leader of the Russian Mafia and corrupt city officials, who Detectives Collins and Walker take down. The story is set in Forest Hills, a beautiful and exclusive oasis, Kew Gardens, and the once gritty, but now increasingly upscale Hunters Point area in the Borough of Queens and the nearby blue collar Greenpoint and Williamsburg neighborhoods of Brooklyn.…

    Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What are the things that bring joy to a Christian Certainly one of them is the knowledge that he is saved and will spend eternity in heaven with God. Another is reading God's Word regularly. Psalm 119:11 says, 'Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart.' Reading the Bible should bring joy to a Christian every day of his life. Why Because God is revealed in the Bible. Reading the Bible gives Christians a greater appreciation of the love God has for us, the promises He has made to us, and the glorious eternity He has prepared for us. And nowhere are these Truths more evident than in the New Testament, the portion of the Bible which tells us about the New Covenant God has made with mankind through the blood of Jesus Christ.Yet for many Christians the Bible is a difficult book to read. Quoting from The Joy of the New Covenant, 'Many people approach the Bible just like they approach any other book: they skim a few pages to see if they get 'hooked,' and maybe jump around to several different sections. But they soon discover that the Bible doesn't read like their favorite novel, and it contains a message that is at odds with the world. So they lose interest and don't read it very often.' Christians should never be put off by the Bible. One thing they can do to help them understand it is read supplemental books that talk about the Bible. The Joy of the New Covenant is just such a book. It is a book of over 200 devotionals aimed at explaining the major points of the New Testament. Each devotional contains a message built on one or more New Testament passages. The message explains the meaning of the passage and, where appropriate, challenges the readers to apply the passage in their lives. Other messages point out how blessed Christians are that the statements God made in the passage are true.The topics covered in The Joy of the New Covenant include the major points of Christian theology. The very first message focuses on the divinity of Jesus, emphasizing that He was not just an ordinary man but was and is the Son of God who came to earth and lived as a man. The second message describes how human Jesus was while He was on earth, even though He was also God. Additional topics include salvation by faith apart from works, the Holy Trinity, the parables of Jesus, prayer, the Lord's Prayer, the Beatitudes and other teachings from the Sermon on the Mount, the twelve disciples, the life and major teachings of Paul, election, spiritual gifts, family relationships, heaven, angels and demons, and the seven letters to the churches in Asia. The book also includes messages on the coming Rapture, the Tribulation, signs of the end times, Jesus' 1000 year reign, and eternity. The final message in the book challenges the reader to select a life verse from a list of key Bible verses.The Joy of the New Covenant addresses many of the hard questions of Christianity-questions like: \* Why does God allow Christians to suffer \* How are God's election and man's free choice reconciled \* Can salvation be lost \* Why does the Lord's Prayer tell us to ask for forgiveness when Christians are already forgiven \* Since God predestined Jesus to die on the cross, can Judas be held accountable for betraying Jesus \* What is the 'unpardonable sin' Jesus mentioned in Matthew 12 \* What is God's position on Christians having wealth The book attempts to answer all of these questions and others, but at the same time recognizes that God does not always reveal the reasons for His actions and commandments.While no book should ever be used as a substitute for the Bible, The Joy of the New Covenant supplements the Bible by giving the reader a greater understanding of the New Testament. This understanding will bring joy to any Christian.…

    Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A fictional love story set amidst the shocking reality of 9/11, this narrative parallels the plight of America as it searches for solutions to a senseless and ill-conceived war with a couple struggling to work through their own personal conflicts. A love story set against one of the greatest tragedies in U.S. history, Pilgrim Souls beautifully shows how understanding the other side is an essential step toward healing rifts between individuals as well as nations. 'I found this fictional story to have the depth to make anyone relate to the facts on one of the great tragedies in U.S. history. Very convincing and devastating to America's image as the beacon of democracy.' Major General Antonio Taguba, the Army general whose report on his investigation into theAbu Ghraib prison abuse created worldwide outcry. Pilgrim Souls opens with the tragic scene of two airplanes flying into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Through two brothers, one the Attorney General of California and the other a staff member in the office of the U.S. Secretary of State in Washington, the narrative weaves together many of the facts that Americans experienced before and after this terrorist attack: the un-preparedness of the intelligence agencies before the attack on the World Trade Center; the determination of the Bush administration to rearrange the map of the Middle East; the manipulation of the CIA who were ordered to find a reason to go into Iraq; the op-ed article released by Ambassador Joseph Wilson attacking President Bush for using the infamous Niger Report as a justification for the war; the retaliation of the administration by leaking the identity of Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, as a CIA agent; and the inhumane treatment of the detainees in Abu Ghraib. The story ties together these separate but related issues in a compelling narrative that offers a general understanding of what happened behind the scenes in the lead up to the Iraqi war. Ultimately, through interviews with international experts, the brothers create a new diplomatic foreign policy for the next presidential administration that would open the way to more peaceful solutions to world relations. Running parallel to this is the more intimate story of Attorney General Kyle Anderson and his partner, Jenny Roberts, a couple deeply in love but struggling to find harmony amidst their differing views toward their relationship. Recently divorced after a twenty-year marriage, Kyle wants a traditional marriage with the woman he loves. It seems a simple enough aspiration except for the fact that he falls in love with Jenny, who after being widowed and divorced, is more interested in having a life partner than in getting married again. Both the personal and global situations appear hopeless until changes begin to take place both in Washington politics and in the hero and heroine. Even though the events after 9/11 leave the couple separated by their individual journeys-both emotionally and physically-their undeniable bond remains strong. Jenny begins methodically to look inside of herself to discover her part in preventing their finding a compromise to their differences. Kyle steps down from his position in public office, leaves California, and goes to work in Washington as the president of the U.S. Institute of Peace. In his effort to work with his brother toward a new and better foreign policy, Kyle begins to discover the similarities between the necessary steps for international peace and for interpersonal peace. The key to both is understanding - delving deeply to gain awareness of what drove the other side to such extreme measures and accepting some responsibility for what caused the conflict in the first place. Years later, Kyle is able to own his part in the fallout with Jenny. But she has vanished and left him with nothing but memories. Now he will risk everything to find her. This book is the spiritual journey o.…
