Bücher von Stephen Graham

Russia in 1916 is a classic Russian travelogue by Stephen Graham that describes how Russia appeared to the foreign traveler in the early days of the 20th Century. This fascinating travel book contains this passage: In going to Russia I certainly did not intend to publish my impressions in book form, but I have been asked to do so, and I recognise the value of keeping in contact with our Ally from day to day. The requirement of the moment seems to be not so much books on Russia, of which there are now a great many, but diaries or volumes of impressions, keeping the peoples of the two countries in touch during the war. I returned to London at the beginning of October, 1916, and I should be glad to think that some one returning at the beginning of January, 1917, would follow on with another small volume of this type. Again for April, 1917. We need such volumes of personal impressions, and there would not be the need to apologise for them. They are letters between friends both engaged in the same vital task. It is extremely difficult to keep in touch with Russia by reading newspapers only. The newspapers are, on the whole, difficult to follow. They are concerned with the news-aspect of events and the scope for sensational appeals. Good quiet correspondence tends to be lost in them. Hence my little book of the hour.

This is a HANDBOOK not a paperback. It outlines 7 Steps to increase the likelihood of obtaining a strong, pain-free back and keeping it. Anyone suffering with sciatica, stenosis, disc bulges or herniations, or just plain back pain will find this as a helpful guide to beat your problem. When I was 22, I had sciatic pain for the better part of two years. Using some of these same steps I was able to achieve relief, and for the last 38 years I have been pain-free. Some of the 7 Steps are: proper hydration for the disc, orthotics for the arches to align of the pelvis, correct posture, and mattresses. Also included are 5 different case studies of back pain and 12 examples of spinal fusions with a discussion of each one. This handbook will be a great reference for you and your family for the rest of your life! It is packed with 80 illustrations, over 60 x-rays and MRI's with labeling for easier comprehension, and well over 100 photos which paint the subject of a strong, pain-free back much more interesting.

2007 John Pollock Award for Christian Biography (Beeson Divinity School, Samford University)For more than half a century, E. Stanley Jones (1884-1973) was arguably the most widely known and universally admired Christian missionary and evangelist of the twentieth century. He went to India as a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1907 and later became an itinerant evangelist. Equally concerned for social justice and spirituality, Jones supported Indian aspirations for independence, and was sensitive to Indian religious traditions. He founded two Christian ashrams (religious retreats) in India, one at Sat Tal and the other in Lucknow (where he also founded a psychiatric center). He wrote nearly thirty books, most notably The Christ of the Indian Road (1925). This is a paperback book with a photo section.Dr. Graham has written a chronological account of the life and ministry of E. Stanley Jones's life for a broad audience. Jones's life is set in the context of the historical, political, and religious events of his day. In particular, Jones's life and ministry will be set against the backdrop of the Christian missionary movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; the aftermath of WWI; the different phases of the Indian independence movement; the origins of Japanese imperialism and militarism in the Pacific during the 1930s and 1940s; and finally, American domestic and international politics following WWII.
