For centuries, people have asked what the Bible teaches about the end of the world. John W. Blake created a work that allows factual signs of the Bible to form by themselves the direction and content of each subject, thus allowing the reader to see what the Bible itself teaches. The Magnitude of the Word helps the reader to explore what the Bible says about the end of the world and their fate. It identifies the Two Witnesses unequivocally. In the Old and New Testament, Satans activities are exposed. It also explains the reasons for the Great Tribulation, assures comfort for those within it and also describes the beast, its mark, and the Antichrist with the beasts image. The Day of the Lord is clarified by revealing not only the Second Coming of Christ but the thousand years wrath of God upon the lost, the Battle of Armageddon and the final judgment. This book also investigates biblical passages and scrutiny of Daniels symbolic seventieth week to help augment the range and tone of the information examined.

A state-of-the-art compendium of resource materials and current practice that answers two basic questions: "What is literacy?" and "How do individuals become literate?" Not long ago, literacy simply meant knowing how to read and write. Today, the study of literacy is a complex field encompassing many different areas, from computer literacy to geographic literacy, and including several degrees of competence such as functional, pragmatic, and cultured. In addition there are six kinds of readers: the submissive, the active, the semiotic, the subjective, the psychoanalytic, and the interpretive community reader, and at least two distinct ways of reading: aesthetic reading and rational reading. In this comprehensive, accessible volume, two literacy experts not only help readers understand the latest theories and the heated controversies in this exciting field, they also show readers how this vast new knowledge is being applied in successful literacy programs.

When they left America in the 1930s to serve as missionaries in the remote jungles of Liberia, West Africa, Harold and Ella Landrus could never have imagined the challenges they would face. They had no way of knowing the joys they would experience, the heartbreaks they would endure, nor the unbelievable adventures they would encounter. From deadly snakes, to marauding leopards, rampaging elephants, and terrifying airplane crashes, the Landrus family faced every challenge with faith, courage, and purpose. Written by a retired missionary who spent time with Harold and Ella while they were still ministering in Liberia, their story will challenge and inspire you. This is the account of a remarkable missionary family striving to make a difference in the lives of native tribespeople deep in the jungles of the African interior. They led lives of worth and meaning while living out adventures that go beyond anything any movie could ever offer. The difference is their story is true.
