No matter how rewarding an experience, reading the Bible from cover to cover can be a daunting task.

Now is the Time for God's Children to Know His Word is a week-by-week instructional study manual. It is best read along with "The One Year Chronological New Living Translation" Bible that organizes daily reading passages in the order events actually occurred. This easy to follow study helps readers connect Biblical events to their counterparts in history by providing chronological notes, vivid maps, inductive study questions, and insightful resource materials. From high school youth to adults, readers are prompted to finish what they began as the material enhances the reading experience and an understanding of what is being read.

In five sharply drawn chapters, Flight Maps charts the ways in which Americans have historically made connections -- and missed connections -- with nature. Beginning with an extraordinary chapter on the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon and the accompanying belligerent early view of nature's inexhaustibility, Price then moves on to discuss the Audubon Society's founding campaign in the 1890s against the extravagant use of stuffed birds to decorate women's hats. At the heart of the book is an improbable and extremely witty history of the plastic pink flamingo, perhaps the totem of Artifice and Kitsch -- nevertheless a potent symbol through which to plumb our troublesome yet powerful visions of nature. From here the story of the affluent Baby-Boomers begins. Through an examination of the phenomenal success of The Nature Company, TV series such as Northern Exposure and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, and the sport-utility vehicle craze, the author ruminates on our very American, very urbanized and suburbanized needs, discontents, and desires for meaningful, yet artificially constructed connections to nature. Witty, at times even whimsical, Flight Maps is also a sophisticated and meditative archaeology of Americans' very real and uneasy desire to make nature meaningful in their lives

At the frontiers of the Roman Empire, military settlements had a profound influence on local crafting traditions. Legions were not just fighting units - they contained a large number of craftsmen, and the fortress would have been a centre of manufacturing activity. A timber legionary fortress, for example, required vast numbers of nails, many of which would have been made by legionary smiths on site, and an army of thousands would require many more pots, shoes and tents than could be produced by local domestic potters and leather workers. But can all developments in local craft and industry be seen as a result of the appearance of the Roman army? The ten papers in this volume focus on craft production in Roman Yorkshire, and the evidence for the role of the army in local manufacturing activities. Several papers examine broad questions surrounding the organisation and scale of production in urban and rural areas. Others consider the local evidence for individual materials and production processes, including those associated with pottery, glass, copper alloys, non-ferrous metals, leather, jet, and building stone.

Waiting for the day to come when my tears would be tears of joy. My silent pain would come to light, and then I could let go. No one knows the journeys we go through, the doors we open, and the strength it takes to walk through those doors to close them behind you. It could take years, or it could take days. Our journeys are not always chosen by us, they can either make you or break you, but it will taint you.It could take longer when you feel you are alone, but you must never give up no matter how hard it seems. There have been times I just wanted to sleep and not wait up, but God wouldn't let me.No doubt, there are fallen angels in the world. There are also good angels in this world! You just have to recognize them and accept them. Let go, this will make you stronger and eventually move you forward. You are important too. You can overcome this! And now, for the grandkids, nieces and nephews, well, that's a whole other story! Bits & Pieces II (Reality)! What a mess!

The ordinary people who made up the largest section of the population in the cities and towns in the Roman world were largely ignored by contemporary writers and have often been marginalised in traditional studies of Roman urbanism, but research into their patterns of work and social interaction have increased markedly in recent years.
