Presenting a basic grasp of prophecy its implications for both church leaders and lay followers, Biblical Principles For Conventional Prophets is highly recommended reading offering fascinating insights into classic Biblical parables.

Wallace Henley's comparison of today's Church with the battles of Normandy and Dunkirk is brilliant! While the "Dunkirk" church is wading from the beach into the water to be rescued from the oncoming Enemy, God is raising up a "Normandy" minded Body that will storm FROM the beach right through Enemy lines to victory. Henley captures the heart of God for His people by revealing to us that, while much of the church is pre-occupied with getting off the planet (just a few more weary days & then...) God wants to get ON the planet through believers who will be overcomers. "Blessed Invasion" will revolutionize your life, your church & your ministry.

I think even those of us who love John Wieners' poetry have been taken aback, in fact bowled over by the greatness of his hitherto unknown BOOK OF PROPHECIES, written in the 1969-1970 period right after NERVES and preceding BEHIND THE STATE CAPITOL OR CINCINNATTI PIKE, but whatever, we're all happy now. Halfway through the book you can trace the mark, so obivous it feels like an actual physical thing, perhaps a torso in marble missing an arm or two, where Wieners must have decided that the lyric style of NERVES, ASYLUM POEMS, etc., just wasn't going to cut it for him any more and it was time to move onto the "derangements" of his later style, the accent on language's materiality, the "cut up" effects, the slide into a slippery first person multiplicity. It's fascinating just from a biographical point of view, and in effect what you get is a whole mini-anthology of two very different strains in Wieners' writing, and this BOOK OF PROPHECIES provides wonderful example of both styles.

The other night there was a launch for this book at New College here in San Francisco, and as reader after reader took the stage to read from this book, we were struck by how many of these poems, which we had never heard before, had the force and the "click" of what amounts to instant classics. They were new to us, and yet we felt we had known them forever. As it happens, a few poems will be already familiar to you from this book, as Wieners published them separately or in magazines and they wound up in the old Black Sparrow SELECTED POEMS, only now in their full context they make sense, and accrue a patina or lustre of richness which they lacked before, appealing as they were in their abandoned state.

The book itself is physically beautiful, and the young Boston-bnased poet Michael Carr has done a fantastic service by providing this transcription of a "lost" Wieners notebook--replete with some scans of the actual holograph--with a fine sensitivity to Wieners' variegated methods of punctuation, spelling, line break, revision, and so forth. (At the end of 1991 the notebook itself was bought by Kent State Special Collections in Ohio, where Carr "discovered" it.) The poet Jim Dunn, who was close to Wieners in the final years of JW's life, has written an introduction that might be a model for this sort of thing, a memoir and an appreciation in one, in which he doesn't seek to shield the reader from the immense difficulties of reading Wieners, nor does he romanticize Wieners' psychological and physical ruin.

"I died no one/ as I once felt I had/ to be someone." He is the poet oh heartbreak, and the shadow figure enslaved by the more vigorous and together figures in his life, like Olson or Creeley, feeling himself hardly human in his pale remnants of a life. Both shamed and inspired, as well, by the superhuman, glamorous Hollywood actresses and female artists he had glimpsed on screen, or met in "real life," from Jean Seberg and Barbara Stanwyck to nico and Nell Rice, Grace Hartigan and Phyllis Webb. A BOOK OF PROPHECIES begins, eerily enough, with the single poem, "2007," a Blakean, ecstatic prediction of a moment tragically removed from our own, his vision of Aquarius in "full flowers" and "music string and forms of verse controlled symbolism." The poems don't always work, and a couple of them dangle sadly into a ludic space, but the best of them are among the greatest poems Wieners ever wrote, and that's saying something. At the launch I read "Sexual Despair," nearly made myself cry out loud with repressed longing and hardcore sex tension. "I need you, my little son/ / to be beside me in bed/ jerking your meat and/ smoking hash-hish/ /What will the future bring/ this fear ling-/ ers every day." Well, as you can see, all I am saying is, this is a signal event for poetry and a rare opportunity to re-assess the work of an authentic lyric genius.

The "Book Of Revelation for Dummies" is a great book for individuals who wish to study the Book Of Revelation. I have read several books on Revelation and this one really helps you understand the prophecy contained within the Book of Revelation. I would recommend this to everyone who is studying or wishes to study prophecy in the Bible.

This is a prized possession in my personal library and an invaluable tool in research, teaching, and preaching. Well written and meticulously researched, it is a great aid to scholarly study

"Words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels. -- Aug 16." If that is true, than this slim volume is more precious than a bank vault full of jewels. This book consists of 366 aphorisms, one for each day of the calendar year, by Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882-1927), the great Sufi mystic and talented communicator of timeless values. Some of these aphorisms are more proverb-like ("Those who throw dust at the sun, the dust falls in their own eyes. -- March 4"), some re-vision traditional religious values ("The lover of nature is the true worshipper of God. -- Aug. 13"), and some are fodder for deep reflection over time ("Mysticism to the mystic is both science and religion. -- Oct. 17"). Overall, this is a short book to read all the way through, and it is a book that yields deeper and deeper on repeated readings. I cannot recommend it enough. The volumes with just "A Book of Saki" by itself are now out of print, but the entire text is contained in The Complete Sayings.

Steve Gallagher lovingly takes off his gloves in this book, and he's paid the price to do it. Based on the book of Revelation, he explores the churches in the early part of the Book of Revelation and compares them to our modern time. Other authors have made efforts to do the same, but Steve speaks from a different venue.

You shouldn't be put off by the title of the book - Breaking Free from the Lusts of this World - because he doesn't just speak of lust from a sexual addiction perspective. He examines, in light of Scripture the many lusts - the eyes, the heart, the mind, the culture, and anything which might usurp God's authority in our lives.

This book still has me under conviction, and if it's put in enough hands of "true" Christians, I believe we will see a genuine change come to the Church of Jesus Christ. The real measure, however, is Steve's belief that those who call themselves Christian are heading towards a "trying time," and only those who are ready for the return of the Lord and are living their lives in obedience to His Spirit will be spared.

Highly recommended to read over and over again!!!

This book is unbelievable! I've never known or read any work who's decoded the book of revelation the way this author has. When I read it, I realized the book of Revelation is not at all difficult. God does not want to "hide" information from us, but I do believe people won't take the time to research and pray that the Holy Spirit would enlighted their hearts.

This book will make you reexamine your life in the light of the coming of Christ.

Beware: When you start to read it you'll notice you won't be able to put it down and the world around you will disappear. It will just be you, the book and God.

Any person who thinks and can reason, needs to read this book. This is the proof in the pudding, that the KVJ 1611 is the word of God in the English language. Check for yourself and you will see the hand of God in the number code within the pages of the Authorized Version. You cannot disprove these facts. You will never find these book in any main line christian bookstores, because if anyone read it, and put it to the test, they wouldn't buy any of the other English perversion that are being sold in these, main line christian book stores. Forget the ELDS codes, gamatria,theomatics, and the other so called bible codes, this one is the real deal and blows the lid off this orginal language garbage and educated liers who protend to have the truth, but wouldn't know the truth if it hit them between the eyes. Buy this book you will not be sorry. Psalm 12 6-7 KJV 1611 AV.
