This book, second in the continuing Images series, features the vibrant, original essays of author Ed Gray and the work of a famed American artist -- in this case, the incomparable Robert Abbett. Join the two on a trek of the autumn uplands, from golden ranges and croplands teeming with pheasants and sharptails to the hallowed, sun-dappled coverts of grouse. -- The oversized format and exacting reproduction provide a delightful showcase for Mr. Abbett's magnificent renderings of sporting dogs, upland game birds and autumn landscapes. This treasured volume is a faithful visual and verbal portrayal of the American sporting tradition as we know it at the close of the 20th century. -- While his choice of subject is wide-ranging, Robert K. Abbett is best known for his work in sporting art and associated rural scenes. He is a member of Who's Who in American Art and The Society of Animal Artists and has won numerous conservation stamp/print competitions. He and his wife, Marilyn, split their time between their Connecticut farm and a studio in Arizona.

No book has ever attempted to deal with the subject of divinity in its entirety. Here at long last is a comprehensive book dealing with divine beings in its complexity. It provides the reader with accurate and insightful knowledge concerning the concept of divinity. The author gives a clear explanation of the Triune nature of God. God is one being, manifest and existing in three distinct identities or persons, which is further discussed as being comparable with the makeup of a human being. God shares his divine nature with spiritual beings in the heavens with angels and on earth with humankind. The divine nature of God resides in all spirits. Therefore, men have Gods nature in their spirits; they can communicate with and receive the things of the spiritual realm. Through sin, humanity has lost the nature of God; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The purpose of the Bible is to spiritualize humankind, because we have fallen short of the glory of God. The broad focus of this book is to bring as many believers to a stage of maturity in the knowledge of Christ.

Florida's contribution to aviation history cannot be underestimated. Wings over Florida chronicles the story of flying in the "Sunshine State," from the early pioneers in gliders and balloons, to the recent developments in the space program. The story of Florida in flight is even older than its statehood, with Colonel John Sherburne planning to use balloons as early as 1840 in the Second Seminole War. Not only was the first scheduled passenger airline (the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line) begun in Florida, but it is also home to the world's oldest international airline. Many heroes and heroines of the air came from Florida. Even those who were not Floridians by birth spent time flying in the ideal conditions that Florida provided. Pioneers, such as Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Peter Sones, and Jacqueline Cochran, all took to the air over Florida.

There is a great gulf between the laws given by God to Moses and those in force in society today. So, how does a believer live in the twenty-first century? What rules do they apply? Christians may claim that many of God's laws were fulfilled with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But if a believer truly wants to know who God is, what makes him tick, and how we are supposed to live, then what better way than to study God's rules. At their heart, God's laws were about two things: how to have a healthy relationship with him and how to build up a healthy thriving community. As a consequence, any search for keys to a godly life, would be deficient if it did not include an examination of the rules that God gave Moses (together with the insights of Solomon).
