Robertson Books

If you would like to understand different perspectives from groups that adapt the title Christian, but do not hold to the historic doctrines of the faith, then this is a good book for you. This book was published from Moody Press and the late Irvine Robertson once taught at Moody Bible Institute. Robertson wrote this book from an evangelical perspective and right from the beginning of the book he provides the reader with an understanding of what places different belief systems in the kingdom of the cults. He does this by first explaining, "Major doctrines of the orthodox faith" and then launches into "Cult deviations from major orthodox doctrines."

Robertson divides his book into the following chapters,

1. Mormons
2. Jehovah's Witnesses
3. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church
4. Herbert W. Armstrong's World Wide Church of God
5. The Way International
6. Some Hindu-based Movements...
7. The New Age Movement
8. Scientology
9. Spiritualism
10. Other Current Movements...

Robertson does a nice job of first presenting an overview of the group, followed by a historical overview and then goes into the major beliefs of each movement. The book is geared toured helping the reader gain an understanding of each movement. Robertson wrote this one from more of an informative perspective then an apologetics perspective.

This book will provide you with a fast overview regarding many cult/occult movements in 202 pages. If you were looking for something that provides a stronger apologetic, then I would recommend the time tested evangelical book on cults titled, "The Kingdome of the Cults" by Walter Martin.

I loved this book. It is definitely one of my favorite books now.

My wife and i were desperately in need of a trip for the kids that was more beneficial for them than Disneyland but would at least be fun. This book is a terrific guide to America's National Parks and just the Country in general that is focused on kids activities and interests. We spent four weeks driving across the South-West and i have to say if it wasn't for this book i don't think we could have managed the kids in such close quarters.

Why do I feel so awful? What about those unexplained headaches and backaches, lack of energy, depression and anxiety, sleep disturbances, irritability and a host of other ailments accepted as "part of everyday life." Sometimes the answer is environmentally-caused illnesses, that is, sickness caused by what we breathe, eat, drink or absorb through our skin.
The volume contains a reference to foods and chemicals that make human beings sick. (Take the peach, which can come with mancozeb, dimethoate maldison, fenthion, bonomyl and copper oxy-chloride!)
No medicine here: just isolating an offending substance and abstaining from it. We've known for years that people have allergies to nuts, milk and so forth. Now Dr. Collison has identified other possible troublemakers in an easy-to-use volume.
488 pages, indexed.
Should end forever the comment, "You're not ill -- you're just pretending.

J'ai lu et relu ce livre. Voici un livre prenant qui m'a donné envie de lire les autres livres d'Upfield.

I have been a fan of Hodgson's Night Land since I first read it in the Ballentine Adult Fantasy series by Lin Carter. Yes, it was hard to read because of the horrible misuse of language, but the concepts kept me going. The first modern interpretation of the Night Land by Andy Robertson was brilliant, and if possible, this one is even better. All of the stories in this volume are excellent, but the final story by John C. Wright is so great that it makes the price of this book cheap. What a great story!!!! It ties together Hodgson's Night Land and his House on the Borderland as well as other literary creations, including the Bible. This one story is worth the price of this volume and more, and in addition, you also get more stories that are of excellent quality. In other words, buy this book. I don't care what you pay for it, it is worth it. This is scifi greatness!!!!

In her book, "Windows Into the Spirituality of Children," The Rev. Dr. Suzi Robertson reminds the reader that children are literal and must be participants in the practice of faith, not mere observers. The author traces her spiritual life from a tiny community in Texas to her mission work in Tanzania. Truly, the reader cannot put the book down. Reading it is like spending an afternoon with a friend who relates her experiences in church to those of all kinds of children today. Highly recommended!

The Winds of Evil is Arthur Upfield at his best. We have Detective-Inspector Napolean Bonaparte using his bush skills and his brain. We have a plot where it isn't obvious "whodunnit". And we have the benefit of Upfield's gift for describing the town, the surroundings, and the winds of evil themselves, as evidenced in the opening pages. This is definitely my favourite so far of all of the Arthur Upfield books that I've read.

In Wisconsin's Foundations: A Review Of The State's Geology And Its Influence On Geography And Human Activity, Gwen Schultz (Professor Emerita of Geography, University of Wisconsin-Madison) shows how Wisconsin's familiar landscapes, bodies of fresh water, fertile soils, northern forests, and varied landforms are all directly related to a special set of geological processes. Professor Schultz explains how Wisconsin's landscapes came to be the way they are, how Wisconsin looked in the past, the kinds of creatures that lived in Wisconsin before the coming of human beings. Wisconsin's geologic story began more than three billion years ago and is still a work in progress. Especially commended to the attention of geology students and non-specialist general readers with an interest in Wisconsin's varied landscapes, Professor Schultz's seminal work, Wisconsin Foundations, provides a reader friendly and very highly recommended introduction to it all.

This book exposes many parts of the female slave trade in Africa. Here we learn that the Islamic slave trade was made up primarily of women. The book helps to aswer this phenomenon by showing that not only were women used as Sex slaves in North Africa but that women from many traditional east african soceities performed much of the work, thus making them more productive. The questions sourounding the role of women in the slave trade is given a variety of looks. One slave girls narrative tells of how her mother is left to starve by the slave master who subsequently buries the daughter alive. This is the truth of slavery and especially the turth of slavery as it was propogated by Zanzibar in East Africa. Slaves were not 'protected' or treated as human beings, they were simply meat, frequently disgarded along the way when they got sick or seemed weak. This book finally exposes the truth about slavery fcusing on the enslavement of women and the role of women in slave soceities. Above all it shows that many of the African men, despairing of the arab slave caravans who took most of their women, turned to brigandage and joined roving bands of warlords, thus ensuring that Arfican pride would not be darkened by the cruel evils of slavery and its targeting of women by Sexual predators from the middle east and europe.
