"This book is a unified artistic-literary, interpretive commentary on the Latter Prophets (Nevi'im Acharonim) section of the Hebrew Bible. It attempts to express the ecstatic poetic narrative and mind-altering visions of the Hebrew Prophets in a distinctlt Jewish midrashic--yet unique--manner, deriving multiple visionary images from multiple translations of the original Hebrew text, and then retranslating the derived fused images back into a fresh literary biblical analysis"--introduction, p. xix.
Miracles happen today. Do you want to increase your faith? Read about miracles.

A woman finds herself in a car accident on a lonely Nevada highway gazing at her two daughters sprawled on the road. She screams in terror for help. Someone places a white gold cross in the palm of her hand. This changes everything. "A White Gold Cross," one of the true stories found in "Faith Colors, Encounters with God in Living Faith," explores the power of faith in God to transform the outcome of a terrible crisis. This story is found in the section called White Faith, the kind of faith that strengthens the inner heart to persevere. A son prays in earnest while the emergency team from the fire station try to revive his father. After the paramedics give up and permission is granted to stop CPR, the father miraculously begins to breathe on his own. But will he survive long enough to take care of his unfinished business?

These testimonies and others, including some of the author's own experiences, are grouped into the colors of the rainbow to highlight important aspects of faith. Poems and prophetic art, intensifying the impact of the messages, are found throughout the book. Each color section concludes with a prayer to draw the reader's heart closer to God. Scriptures and colorful prophetic pictures featured in this book highlight significant attributes of faith that are bound to spark hope in God and His promises found in the Bible.

Are these the "signs" that God refers to in His Word? If they are, what do they mean?What is their prophetic significance?

Christopher Columbus returned to Europe in the final days of 1500, ending his third voyage to the Indies not in triumph but in chains. Seeking to justify his actions and protect his rights, he began to compile biblical texts and excerpts from patristic writings and medieval theology in a manuscript known as the Book of Prophecies. This unprecedented collection was designed to support his vision of the discovery of the Indies as an important event in the process of human salvation - a first step toward the liberation of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim domination. This work is part of a twelve-volume series produced by U.C.L.A.'s Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies which involved the collaboration of some forty scholars over the course of fourteen years. In this volume of the series, Roberto Rusconi has written a complete historical introduction to the Book of Prophecies, describing the manuscript's history and analyzing its principal themes. His edition of the documents, the only modern one, includes a complete critical apparatus and detailed commentary, while the facing-page English translations allow Columbus's work to be appreciated by the general public and scholars alike.
