Some call the Qur'an a peace loving document. Others use it as a call to war. How can you understand it if you never read it? For the first time, Qur'an Revealed provides an English translation of the Qur'an, with its one hundred fourteen surahs arranged in chronological order, and accompanied by interpretive notes from mainstream Islamic scholars, making its text understandable to any interested reader. More importantly, for the Christian reader, Greer's explanatory essays, surah-by-surah and verse-by-verse annotations, use historical-critical research to clarify the occasional similarities and the many differences between the Qur'an and the Bible. In one volume, these questions are clearly and authoritatively answered: What does the Qur'an actually say? How do mainstream Islamic scholars interpret it? How does it line up with historical-critical analysis? How does it square with the Bible? In this day and age, where Islam has made important inroads into the West and is challenging a number of Western values and cultural norms. An annotated Qur'an should be a vital resource not only for interested Christians, but for people in general.

Does poetry have to involve wispy winds, weeping willows, or whippoorwills? Airy words have their place, so long as that adjective is not a descriptor of the writer's head. Take a stroll through some poetry which lets no wind pass through its ears, its hard substance the anchor of eternal Truth. Unbound by mushy cages, it's free to roam, and there's no telling what damage it might do ... or good. At one turn it may unleash its fury at the folly of the fallen; at another it may soothe a sorrowful soul; at yet another it just might fix a fang on the funny bone. If you lost a bet and are absolutely forced to read one book of poetry, take a peek inside ... and then report back that you won after all. If you're afraid it might bite, fear not ... that's the best part. Then let it chew on you."Rick De Prisco's way with words has 'grown' on me over the course of a 25-year friendship. The idea of 'groan' fits also, given our trials and terminal love of puns and word play. Both were employed by the Bible's prophet-poets. Rick's striking 'Postcard from the Netherlands' suggests a kindred spirit. I cruised in Amsterdam; he bruised language to get to 'rotter' dams. De Prisco's penetrating wit and observations will hook you on his wonderfully unboring poetry."Vreni Schiess, Author of the devotional book, Songs in the Night"The Author of Creativity smiled when He bestowed upon Rick De Prisco a special gift for using language as a poetic prism for vibrant and colorful illumination. This master potter of poetry will keep you gazing through unique "perspectacles" at his spinning wheel as he playfully-sometimes mournfully or pointedly-and always thoughtfully kneads and massages a clay of words into his own carefully crafted linguistic artistry. His unique insights linger long after the delightful rewards of reading and re-reading."Wayne Scott, Founder and President / Writer-Composer, LifeHouse Productions, Inc.

As a Hospice Chaplain, I realize that many people in this season for life become disconnected from a local church.

It is my hope that this book will encourage you to give of your gifts, talents, and wisdom and leave a beautiful legacy of love to your family.

Have you ever felt as though God did not really love you? That somehow there was a footnote excluding you from every Scripture passage that offered His mercy and healing?You are not alone. Many Christians limp along, hurt by rejection, emotional damage, confusion, and sins that won't quit. What prevents them from receiving the wholeness the Lord offers?Carolyn Jones says that we hide from ourselves and from the Lord. We put up masks that cover up the painful realities that we know are there but are unwilling or afraid to acknowledge. We're looking for protection, and what we get is insulation from grace. In this brightly written book, Mrs. Jones urges us to become transparent-to admit to ourselves and the Lord who we really are She uses personal stories, examples form Scripture and experience to show us how to open ourselves to the healing gaze of Jesus.Carolyn Jones ministered at conferences, retreats, and seminars throughout the nation. Throughout her lifetime she counseled people about personal problems. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
