古本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Everybody Into the Pool: True Tales - Beth Lisick (William Morrow) 【紙書籍】 9780060778774

タイトル: Everybody Into the Pool: True Tales著者: Beth Lisick出版社: William Morrow出版日: 2005年07月05日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。Beth Lisick started out as a homecoming princess with a Crisco-aided tan and a bad perm. And then everything changed. How exactly did this suburban girl next door end up as one of San Francisco's foremost chroniclers of alternative culture, touring as the only straight woman with a band of punk rock lesbian poets and living in illegal warehouses -- all while managing to get married, buy a house, and have a baby? Lisick explains it all in her hilarious, irreverent memoir Everybody into the Pool.Plunging headlong into America's deepest subcultures, while keeping both feet firmly planted in her parents' Leave It to Beaver values, Lisick makes her adult home on the fringe of mainstream culture and finds it rich with paradox and humor. On one hand, she lives in "Brokeley" with drug dealers and street gangs; on the other, she drives a station wagon with a car seat in the back, makes her own chicken stock, and attends ladies' luncheons.Among Lisick's true tales are "My Way or the Bi-Way," in which a series of girl-on-girl fiascos from UC Santa Cruz confirm her suspicions that she's just a straight girl with a positive attitude who'd give anything the old college try; "The Lowly Hustle," in which she takes on a litany of odd jobs to make ends meet ("I was like a college student designing my own major, except I was thirty-five and designing my own minimum-wage job"); and the endearing story of her "courtship" with her now husband Eli, who impresses her with a spastic rendition of a song called "The Wack-Ass Caucasian Two Step Chicken" and invites her to his Mission District warehouse space -- a world of feral raccoons and exploding sewage pipes. (It's clear to Lisick that he's "The One.")Fans of David Sedaris and Sarah Vowell will relish Lisick's scathingly funny, smart, and very real take on the effluvia of daily living. No matter what community she's exposing to the light, Lisick's hilarious perspective always hits the right chord.

タイトル: Between Two Rivers著者: Moudhy Al-Rashid出版社: W. W. Norton & Company出版日: 2025年08月12日新しい本新古品・未使用品。出版社からの新着。Thousands of years ago, in a part of the world we now call ancient Mesopotamia, people began writing things down for the very first time.What they left behind, in a vast region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, preserves leaps in human ingenuity, like the earliest depiction of a wheel and the first approximation of pi. But they also capture breathtakingly intimate, raw, and relatable moments, like a dog's paw prints as it accidentally stepped into fresh clay, or the imprint of a child's teeth.In Between Two Rivers, historian Dr. Moudhy Al-Rashid reveals what these ancient people chose to record about their lives, allowing us to brush hands with them millennia later. We find a lullaby to soothe a baby, instructions for exorcising a ghost, countless receipts for beer, and the messy writing of preschoolers. We meet an enslaved person negotiating their freedom, an astronomer tracing the movement of the planets, a princess who may have created the world's first museum, and a working mother struggling with "the juggle" in 1900 BCE.Millennia ago, Mesopotamians saw the world's first cities, the first writing system, early seeds of agriculture, and groundbreaking developments in medicine and astronomy. With breathtaking intimacy and grace, Al-Rashid brings their lives--with all their anxieties, aspirations, and intimacies--vividly close to our own.

＜p＞"Have pity on me, and I will have pity on you. Give me my hands, and I will give you peace. The more you honour me, the more I will bless you."＜/p＞ ＜p＞The little child Jesus is King of the Universe. The Holy Infancy of God is an often unremarked-upon and yet wholly integral part of the mystery of the Incarnation. Not only did the Infinite God become a finite man, but He became a little baby, and a little boy. No devotion gives more honor and glory to this Little King than the devotion to the Infant Jesus of Prague.＜/p＞ ＜p＞While its origins are shrouded in mystery, this little statuette has its origins in Spain, with some saying it even belonged to St. Teresa of Avila. Taken to Bohemia by a Spanish noblewoman who married a Bohemian, the little statue of God was later given by her daughter, Princess Polyxena von Lobkowicz, to a Carmelite monastery in Prague. Cast aside in a rubbish heap by the conquering Protestant King of Sweden, it remained there for seven years, with its hands broken off, until one Fr. Cyrillus found the statue and returned it to a place of honor. Since then, the famous devotion has only grown, and the Little King has conquered the hearts of many with His glorious rule of charity. May he conquer your heart too.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Escape From Babylon Leaving Eden, #1【電子書籍】[ Max Purl ]

＜p＞Pretend it's Science Fiction, if it helps.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Logos intending meaning into vibration equals creation. Nothing isn't everything. Words are. The spirit is the reality, and love is what lasts forever.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The Antichrist's one-world religion is frequently forecasted, but the world has already belonged to it, since Babylon. The worship of the creation is the world's one religion and always has been. Even Antichrist's mark in devotees of the vicars of God and forgivers of sins is creation worship. But this is just part of the mystery that makes Mystery Babylon.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Sometimes God seems a little too hands-off for our taste. If the existence of evil suits His purposes, does evil exist? Even when He admits to sending it, isn't an evil sometimes deserving of itself? If YHVH gave us every sign we wanted, the illusion our choices were reality would be frayed to the extent they could no longer stand as a test in the judgment. Men must be allowed to try to do what they will, in free acts they perceive to be real, to reveal the extent of their evil for the judgement. Prevention and intervention in this age must largely remain just beneath detection's veil. And if Yahweh had stomped out the rebels like blowing out a candle, then the surviving angels would have begun to wonder if their devotion be out of love or fear. And one who is coerced into giving love is no longer loving.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The word of the LORD came to people in the Old Testament and began speaking to them. "Before Christ" is a bit of a misnomer. In fact, he appears in the Old Testament over seventy times by name (Strong's H3444). The Books we call The Bible are truly supernatural. Besides, Yahshua, the Word, created all things. There is no time or thing before he is. As Abraham and the sacrifice of Isaac demonstrated, belief, in action, has always been accounted as righteousness anyway. And Abraham was gifted, for apostate humans can do nothing but fall, on their own. It has always worked the same one way. If the Father's word was coming to them in those Old Testament years, believers in Yah have always believed the Son already.[1]＜/p＞ ＜p＞[1] John 10:30 I and the Father are one.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Joining the meanings into the threads that span both Testaments shows the big picture and time-transcendent Source more readily. It becomes an expedition into Extreme Reality. Of course, I may have uncovered somethings hidden.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Take the famous children's fable of the princess and the frog. We know it's make-believe. And were it not for a careless attitude toward words, everyone would instantly recognize the popular nursery tale is none other than the Theory of Evolution. By glancing over words, an entire world takes a childhood make-believe fantasy: amphibian morphing to man, and calls it science! Darwin's process does take longer than the princess' kiss is said to take to cause the transformation, but outside of exchanging a kiss with time, Darwin is describing the same event manifestation. Darwin's seems a bit less impressive than the magic of a princess' kiss though, one might say. Some claim he stole the idea from some fellows named Wallace or Lamarck, when the answer is clear. The Brothers Grimm wrote it. Time is the princess' kiss. The princess' kiss is time.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The high strangeness of earth religion is a striking portrait of a fallen world, with Lilith/Ishtar/Columbia or Libertas-Apollo, much like temple prostitutes of their days, being as the androgynous Lucifer/Atum/Inanna/Attis, whose phallus was legendarily lost in the days of Osiris and memorialized with obelisk cenotaphs in courtyards, as their worshippers' god's missing penis God. Free Masonry's search for the lost word is the seeking of the phallus of Osiris. Ah, the world…＜/p＞ ＜p＞Behold the reflection of the world in the Books.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞This is a collection of three stories that center around the British Monarchy centered in the great city of London England. In a real and imaginative sense, it controls the country and the British possessions through the world. The monarchy is much more than a collection of people, but ruling a large empire. The country of Britain does in fact have an elected legislature but it is heavily influenced by the royalty. The people of Britain love there monarchy, and all aspects of everyday life is governed in some sense by the royalty. Positions in the monarch are determined by inheritance. The persons that make up the royalty are waited on head and toe by a working class of people, who are handsomely rewarded. Royal life is greatly influenced by customs. What the royal persons and staff ae heavily determined by the royal leader, i.e., the king or queen. Those persons hold there positions for life, and operate without a passport, driver’s license, and ordinary credential, required by everyday citizens. Royal persons do operate as ordinary citizens as far as education and military requirements are concerned. In fact marriage between a man and a woman are governed by customs and not ordinary law. In such cases, the husband has total control. May persons say, and rightly so, that those persons are legally married. Yet, marital positions are heavily sought after. Of course, practically every person would like to be a prince or princess. Royal men are expected to participate in activities such as polo, hunting, and shooting. Royal women are expected to conform to royal behavior in dress and action. Numerous customs are known by all royals with regard to dress, action, and normal household activities. There are even culinary customs established by the queens. The royal family is wealthy beyond belief. In the modern world, royal men attend a university and serve in the military, usually as military officers. Royal persons have no last name. An unusual custom. Socially, royal men and women have behavioral signals that govern their personal aid and behavior. For example, if the queen is engaged in a situation she would like to terminate, she transfers her purse from left to right arms, and a royal aide recognizes the problem and remedies the situation forthwith. The media and parparazzi in England have some control over what happens in the royal arena through newspapers, television, and everyday presence at royal events. Some people think that the media has excessive power. However, it is one good way for the British population to know what is going on, since the people effectively pay through taxes pay for the cost of have a royal country. Persons entering the royalty for outside have immense pressure to conform and often experience extreme negative difficulties. It is not normal for royal persons to leave the monarchy. The book is a combination of three novels that describe the difficulties of royal life. The main characters are Matt, the mathematician, the General, a worldwide benefactor, and other people, such as Ashley, Anna, and Sir Charles (Buzz) Bunday, all of whom you have met in other novels. The book is a combination of three novels that describe the difficulties of royal life.

The books may be read in any order, but the best result is to read them in order. Each book is totally complete. You will be enlightened and entertained. Remember, the books are novels and the people and the episodes ae not true. Moreover, my usual writing customs apply: no violence, no sex, and no bad language. It thereby applies to readers of all ages. It would be a good beach read.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Catherine of Aragon is an elusive subject.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Despite her status as a Spanish ＜em＞infanta＜/em＞, Princess of Wales, and Queen of England, few of her personal letters have survived, and she is obscured in the contemporary royal histories. In this evocative biography, Theresa Earenfight presents an intimate and engaging portrait of Catherine told through the objects that she left behind.＜/p＞ ＜p＞A pair of shoes, a painting, a rosary, a fur-trimmed baby blanketーeach of these things took meaning from the ways Catherine experienced and perceived them. Through an examination of the inventories listing the few possessions Catherine owned at her death, Earenfight follows the arc of Catherine’s life: first as a coddled child in Castile, then as a young adult alone in England after the death of her first husband, a devoted wife and doting mother, a patron of the arts and of universities, and, finally, a dear friend to the women and men who stood by her after Henry VIII set her aside in favor of another woman. Based on traces and fragments, these portraits of Catherine are interpretations of a life lived five centuries ago. Earenfight creates a compelling picture of a multifaceted, intelligent woman and a queen of England.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Engagingly written, this cultural and emotional biography of Catherine brings us closer to understanding her life from her own perspective.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】All Hail King Ramir The Bishop Who Refused to Be King and Fight Wars【電子書籍】[ Joan Gil ]

＜p＞Alphonse the Battler, the greatest known warrior of his time and sovereign of all peninsular Christian kingdoms except Catalonia, orders his young and beloved brother Ramir to leave the monastery and join him in the siege of Saragossa. This wealthy moorish kingdom in the north of the peninsula has been taken over by the Almoravids, a fanatic jihadist muslim nation from North Africa and is threatening to cross the Pyrenees (as it had happened once before, a century earlier) and march toward Rome. Crusaders from all Europa are joining Alphonse. On the way Ramir understands and sees for the first time the cruelty and horror of war. He meets the Duke William of Aquitaine (his future father-in-law) known as the King of Troubadors, a licentious, conceited and dangerous man (and a singer-poet) and witnesses Alphonse's victory. Ramir is a humble lonely monk who cannot handle his high position. The king encourages him to travel to Aquitaine. The Duke might have a daughter for Ramir, who is recognized by everybody as Alphonse's heir apparent. Alphonse seems to encourage him to have children. In Poitiers, the capital of Aquitaine, the young man is seduced by the young Princess Agnes but Ramir runs away in horror when terrible scandals resulting from the public debauchery, alcoholism and recklessness of the Duke arise. Next he visits Burgos, main city of northern Castile, where his brother King Alphonse rules as husband of Queen Urraca. He expects to sire a heir to all his kingdoms, but Urraca has already a child from here first marriage. it becomes evident that he is known to be homosexual and that the Queen mocks and insults him. Alphonse hits and puts the Queen in prison. Again disappointed by the vanity, troubles and unchristian contradictions of the world, Ramir definitively chooses priesthood and life as a monk. Alphonse understands that he is not going to have a successor and Queen Urraca succeeds in dissolving their marriage and removing him from Castile. Alphonse was an invincible warrior but he finally falls into a trap and is mortally wounded by the Almoravids. In his last will, he leaves his kingdoms to God and the Virgin Mary. The kingdoms of Aragon and Navarre become very unsettled. Ramir clearly does not want the crown and he had never been trained for it. Many electors are reluctant to choose a Bishop as king. Finally the crown of Aragon is literally forced upon Ramir for lack of alternatives but Navarre, the land of the basques, severs her long union with Aragon. Ramir immediately faces a feudal uprising and is upset by the killings and feudal intrigues. He attempts to establish trade relations with the muslims but is not willing to continue his brother's war. Realizing that a heir is needed, he marries his old flame Agnes of Aquitaine, already a widow with sons, but Ramir writes that he does it not do it to satisfy "carnal desires" but only to sire a son. He is disappointed when Agnes brings to the world Peronella, a baby girl. Ramir and his advisors clearly recognize that the kingdom is breaking down in disarray and that something needs to be done. At this time, Ramir performs the diplomatic master stroke of the Iberian Middle Ages. He plights his one or two year old daughter Peronella to Count Ramon Berenguer of Barcelona, who rules Catalonia (the old Marca Hispanica of Emperor Charlemagne). He will abdicate immediately in Peronella's favor and the Count will take over with full irrevocable authority his entire kingdom. The Count, a young and dashing man with an excellent military record, rejects the royal crown born by his betrothed wife Peronella (whom she will marry in Lleida at the age of 14) and starts signing documents as "Count of the Barceloneans and Prince of the Aragonese). Aragon and Catalonia had been united under a single king but preserving separate Parliaments, laws and languages. Pleased with his solution, Ramir resumes life in his old monastery while Agnes returns to Aquitaine.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Was Walt Disney Frozen?【電子書籍】[ Albert Jack ]

＜p＞＜strong＞From the best selling author of Red Herrings & White Elephants, Pop Goes the Weasel, Ten Minute Mysteries, Urban Myths & Legends and many more...＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Introduction＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The subject of urban myths and legends is one I have been interested in for a couple of years now. It occurred to me, one day at lunch with friends on the Isle of Dogs, that many long rambling conversations (and ours are certainly long and always rambling) will include a tall tale or two.＜/p＞ ＜p＞One person will then be reminded of a story he or she once heard which is then presented as near or actual fact. The story will be introduced like this: ‘That reminds me of a story I once heard . . .’ or ‘I remember my uncle/aunt/sister/hairdresser telling me what happened to a friend of theirs . . .’＜/p＞ ＜p＞So urban legends are easy to spot and always have a ring of truth about them. The events they describe could happen or might have happened to any of us. Each of us could have been as unfortunate or stupid as the character(s) in the story, and that is one of the reasons we all enjoy urban legends so much: that the misfortune involved didn’t happen to us but to somebody else. And that makes us laugh. The stories come in many different forms. Some involve ghostly goings on, some are about love found or lost.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Some centre on plain stupidity and some on unfortunate coincidences, although some do have happy endings.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Oh Lord, I Am so Wounded!【電子書籍】[ Yvonne Rose ]

＜p＞Oh Lord, I Am So Wounded! is an inspirational book that ministers to those who have emotional scars. Have you ever been wounded, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually? Then this book will inspire you. It is written with the aim of reaching all age groups and ethnicities and genders. Mrs. Yvonne Rose looks at some of the people in the Bible who also suffered tremendous hurts, from family members, strangers, and other people who should have shown them love, but instead rejected and abused them. Hannah was married to a man who loved her, but because she was barren, he had to take another wife who could give him the children he needed. The second wife made life miserable for Hannah, because Peninnah knew that Hannah was the love of Elkanahs life. Peninnah had his children, but Hannah had his heart. Hannah became very depressed due to the vicious attacks from her jealous rival until she decided to call on God to help her, and He answered her prayer. Leah and Rachel were sisters who were married to the same man. How did this happen? It was love at first sight for this man Jacob. He had swindled his brother Esau out of the inheritance that rightfully belonged to him, now he was a man on the run, from a brother who threatened to murder him. He ran to his uncles home and fell in love with his beautiful daughter Rachel. His uncle Laban agreed to give Rachel in marriage to Jacob in exchange for seven years of hard work. However, on the wedding night, Laban switched sisters, and the next morning, Jacob woke up to find the ugly sister Leah in his bed. Leah would spend the rest of her life having babies and trying to win the heart of a man who could never love her. She did not know that God loved her and because God saw that she was not loved, he opened her womb and made her fertile, while Rachel was barren. This only created a Baby-Mama-Drama in Jacobs household. The sisters were in a struggle for babies. Then the servants were given to Jacob, and they also had his babies. There was a battle for Jacobs love between two sisters who were emotionally wounded because of their fathers greed. Joseph was a teenager who God had chosen for greatness. He was the love of his father, and the envy of his brothers. His eleven brothers hated him and sold him to strangers who took him shackled in irons to Egypt. The man who bought him was a high official in the land. He put Joseph in charge of his household, but his alluring wife could not keep her eyes off this handsome young slave with the great body. When Joseph refused to sleep with Mrs. Potiphar, she cried rape and caused him to be imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. But God was with this young man, and everywhere he was placed, he was put in a position of authority, until he was promoted to become the prime minister in the land of Egypt, second only to Pharaoh. Naomi was a bitter mother-in-law who left own land when her husband took his family to a strange land away from the protection of the God they served. Naomi lost her entire family in this foreign country, her husband, and her two sons. She blamed God for her troubles, but what seemed at first like a bad situation, turned out to be a blessing because God had given her a daughter-in-law who loved her and vowed never to leave her. Her daughter-in-law Ruth married a rich man who was able to provide for both of them. This blessing only took place when they left the place of death to go to the place of life. Naomi and Ruth returned to Bethlehem. Then there was the case of the princess who was raped by her eldest brother, but their father, King David, did not do anything about the situation. As a result, Tamars other brother Absalom murdered the brother who had dishonored their sister. Princess Tamar would remain an emotionally wounded woman for the rest of her life, because of the brother who humiliated her, abused her, and then turned and threw her out of his house. Jephthah was a young man who＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Was Walt Disney Frozen?: Famous Urban Myths: And Other Legends【電子書籍】[ Albert Jack ]

＜p＞Introduction＜/p＞ ＜p＞The subject of urban myths and legends is one I have been interested in for a couple of years now. It occurred to me, one day at lunch with friends on the Isle of Dogs, that many long rambling conversations (and ours are certainly long and always rambling) will include a tall tale or two.＜/p＞ ＜p＞One person will then be reminded of a story he or she once heard which is then presented as near or actual fact. The story will be introduced like this: 'That reminds me of a story I once heard . . .' or 'I remember my uncle/aunt/sister/hairdresser telling me what happened to a friend of theirs . . .'＜/p＞ ＜p＞So urban legends are easy to spot and always have a ring of truth about them. The events they describe could happen or might have happened to any of us. Each of us could have been as unfortunate or stupid as the character(s) in the story, and that is one of the reasons we all enjoy urban legends so much: that the misfortune involved didn't happen to us but to somebody else. And that makes us laugh. The stories come in many different forms. Some involve ghostly goings on, some are about love found or lost.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Some centre on plain stupidity and some on unfortunate coincidences, although some do have happy endings. The connecting feature is that all are told and then retold and come back around in altered forms, and all of them are passed around by word of mouth or, especially these days, via the internet, where they spread like wildfire.＜/p＞ ＜p＞These 'legends' (so-called 'urban,' although they don't need to have an urban setting) are the modern-day version of medieval folklore and all of the anecdotes in this collection can be recited the next time you are at lunch, dinner or in the pub with friends. They can make even the most unimaginative person seem interesting, I promise. They seem to be working for me, at any rate.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Finally, I hope you enjoy these stories and look out for some of the other titles.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Including tales of;＜/p＞ ＜p＞1: Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall＜br /＞ 2: Charlie Chaplin＜br /＞ 3: Eric Clapton, Bill Cosby & Steve Cram＜br /＞ 4: Bill Gates & Frank Sinatra＜br /＞ 5: Keith Moon＜br /＞ 6: Winston Churchill＜br /＞ 7: Alexander Fleming & Winston Churchill＜br /＞ 8: Nat King Cole＜br /＞ 9: Paul Newman＜br /＞ 10: Adolph Hitler＜br /＞ 11: Jack Nicholson＜br /＞ 12: Albert Einstein＜br /＞ 13: David Bowie & Mick Jagger＜br /＞ 14: Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithful and that Mars Bar＜br /＞ 15: Van Halen and The Brown M&Ms＜br /＞ 16: James Dean & Elvis Presley＜br /＞ 17: Princess Diana＜br /＞ 18: Walt Disney's Head Was Frozen＜br /＞ 19: Rodney Marsh & Sir Alf Ramsey＜br /＞ 20: Three Men and a Baby (Movie)＜br /＞ 21: Stanford University (The Gingham Dress Legend)＜br /＞ 22: Neil Armstrong & the Apollo Moon Landings＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Earth Out Of Orbit: Volume One - The Past and Future Prophecies of the World【電子書籍】[ Sanctus Est Adonai ]

KINGS, QUEENS AND PROPHETS This four-book series revisits several prophets and their many predictions. One of these prophets foretold major events 1 to 210 years before they happened. He even made a prediction for our time: a country will cause our earth to oscillate out of orbit. Imagine the consequences! The series also revisits several kings and queens responsible for major historical events. We even have pictures of them. One picture belongs to the Egyptian princess who rescued baby Moses from the River Nile. Another picture is of Moses himself-could it be him? And could he have been the architect of the Egyptian monument most visited by tourists to Egypt? You judge. This first volume of the series covers the prophecies and histories of nearly 1,000 years, from 1929 to 913 BC. It starts in Ur of the Chaldeans, home of the Ziggurat, and continues to Egypt. There, even in the hectic times of the Exodus, we still get our answer as to how an Israeli managed to become the vizier of Egypt. Perhaps we have even discovered why a high-ranking Egyptian officer vanished suddenly (Who was he? And was he indeed the intimate of the queen?). We are not so sure, however, that we know why the pharaoh of the Exodus has boils on his face. The volume carries on to King Solomon and the legends created about him. Some say they are not legends. But there are more puzzles still: why did King Solomon keep his temple unoccupied for 13 years after finishing it? Where did he hide his huge amount of gold? Who found it? The first volume ends with a servant of Solomon figuring out a way to create a new religion. All that aside, this emotionally-packed series of books shows that our earth is not a chariot, full of all kinds of people, roaming aimlessly in space. Rather, there is a predetermined master plan and a schedule for the short work God is accomplishing on earth as He gathers a family for himself - a royal family. Perhaps you are one of these future royals.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
