DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis illustrated book explores three vital subjects seldom broached from the pulpit: * WORLD IDEOLOGIES: The uniqueness of the Christian message becomes self-evident when viewed in the context of fourteen major world ideologies. * CHURCH HISTORY: An overview of the convoluted history of the Church enables us to come to terms with our Western cultural heritage and face the future with greater confidence. * CHRISTIANITY'S JEWISH ROOTS: Like a magnificent tapestry, the Hebrew tradition delights the senses, feeds the soul, and shines with a compelling ancient beauty. This book provides numerous rejuvenating insights into the New Testament's bedrock "Jewishness." Original line drawings, charts and maps help illuminate fascinating correlations between New Testament principles and the history, worship, customs, calendar, and language of the Jews. "This is not dry academicism, but a work of art that touches both head and heart." Rev. Frank Lenihan, Montana USA: Bridges for Peace

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe revolutionary literary vision that sowed the seeds of Objectivism, Ayn Rand's groundbreaking philosophy, and brought her immediate worldwide acclaim. This modern classic is the story of intransigent young architect Howard Roark, whose integrity was as unyielding as granite...of Dominique Francon, the exquisitely beautiful woman who loved Roark passionately, but married his worst enemy...and of the fanatic denunciation unleashed by an enraged society against a great creator. As fresh today as it was then, Rand’s provocative novel presents one of the most challenging ideas in all of fiction—that man’s ego is the fountainhead of human progress... “A writer of great power. She has a subtle and ingenious mind and the capacity of writing brilliantly, beautifully, bitterly...This is the only novel of ideas written by an American woman that I can recall.”—The New York Times

DOWNLOAD EBOOKChiropractic is by far the most common form of alternative medicine in the United States today, but its fascinating origins stretch back to the battles between science and religion in the nineteenth century. At the center of the story are chiropractic's colorful founders, D. D. Palmer and his son, B. J. Palmer, of Davenport, Iowa, where in 1897 they established the Palmer College of Chiropractic. Holly Folk shows how the Palmers' system depicted chiropractic as a conduit for both material and spiritualized versions of a "vital principle," reflecting popular contemporary therapies and nineteenth-century metaphysical beliefs, including the idea that the spine was home to occult forces. The creation of chiropractic, and other Progressive-era versions of alternative medicine, happened at a time when the relationship between science and religion took on an urgent, increasingly competitive tinge. Many remarkable people, including the Palmers, undertook highly personal reinterpretations of their physical and spiritual worlds. In this context, Folk reframes alternative medicine and spirituality as a type of populist intellectual culture in which ideologies about the body comprise a highly appealing form of cultural resistance.
