Like Banjamin Creme's work this has extraordinary merit and certainly helps in preparing the world for what is coming, but at this point I find another announcement being made in another (recently published) book much more credible -- that the Christ will not come this time, but has instead sent a messenger.

You see, as Jesus said, "there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, who shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that they shall deceive and seduce the very elect." (Matthew 24:24 and Mark 13:22) That was not merely to warn us of imposters and pretenders. It was also to confirm that the person who would actually fulfill Judeo-Christian prophecy would not be the Christ, but His messenger.

Other evidence of this is that the prophesied messenger is the "bridegroom-lamb," our "brother and fellow servant who has the testimony of Jesus" (Revelations 19:10). He is also the messenger for the "Spirit of Truth" that Jesus said would come, to "guide us unto all truth, show us things to come, and glorify me (Jesus)." (John 16:13-14) What's more, he is the "son of man who (unlike Jesus) first suffered many things and was rejected by his generation," as prophesied by Jesus. (Luke 17:24-25 and Isaiah 49:4) He is also the son of man who was first "stricken and afflicted." (Isaiah 53:4 and 57:15-17) All those biblical facts, along with others, indicate the truth about today's messenger of God, who is not a superman, and not holier than thou, but a prodigal son of man who delivers the true message for the Spirit of Truth.

The messenger has no personal agenda and will play no other role. In fact, he prefers to remain anonymous and writes under a pen name. He fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah in that "the servant and witness of God will not make his voice heard in the street" (or in public), but sends "his work before him." (Isaiah 42:1-2 and 62:11) He says the world does not need another would-be savior to scorn and crucify, or to exalt and put on a pedestal, and no man should be tempted with such great worldly power or bear its responsibility. He says the world needs truth, and nothing but the truth, and submits that the new covenant of God frees us from sovereign authority or sovereign leadership of any kind. He says there is no hierarchy in Christ, and he repeats what Isaiah wrote, that "besides God there is no savior." (Isaiah 43:10-11)

The book is titled Real Prophecy Unveiled, by Joseph J. Adamson. It's really about our total liberation and the fulfillment of prophecy, and it includes a comprehensive critique of what and who causes our main problems. It turns the tables on the Religious Right, establishing that Jesus (like all other enlightened ones) was really a "bleeding heart liberal," and it exposes the error and hypocrisy of right-wing religious leaders who claim otherwise. This, the messenger submits, is absolutely necessary because in order for the humble and meek to inherit the earth, the proud and militant must be exposed and rebuked to fulfill the prophecies of Isaiah and Jesus. And he is not "lukewarm and neither hot or cold" about it, knowing the Christ's desire that the judgment from the son of man be strong and firm.

The messenger also establishes the value and need for secular government, separation of church and state, equality of religions, and an end to misguided patriarchal traditions. He also dispels myths and false beliefs and explains the value of esoteric teachings. He even gives us a way to abolish partisan politics and be rid of the "pretender to the throne" so we can share the throne of God's "new kingdom" as the equal joint heirs that we really are according to the Bible, creating government that is finally of, for, and by the people. It is an overall view of prophecy we can enthusiastically live with and even celebrate!

That is why, unless an actual Maitreya actually reveals himself and demonstrates that he is not merely a false christ who shows great signs and wonders, I will accept Joseph's work as the message from the Spirit of Truth. While there are many claims being made about the existence or the coming of the Christ (AKA the Saoshyant/Avatar/Buddha/Imam Mahdi), Joseph evidently is the person who really serves the Holy One according to prophecy.

Alice Bailey clearly explains the work of the Christ from a metaphysical, spiritual and religious point of view. She also correlates this work with that of the aspirant and of the disciple, who wishes to collaborate with the GREAT WORK of Salvation. A good book for meditation. A practical book for anyone, who wishes to follow in the footsteps of THE MASTER. A primer for the New world Religion.

Robin Bailey is laconic. I generally prefer quicker--or perhaps I should say, lighter--readers (Ian Carmichael, Rosemary Leach) but there is something hypnotically pleasant about listening to Robin Bailey's deep voice. You can picture him raising his eyebrows over some of Sloan's dialog.

In typical Aird fashion, the dialog is often quite cryptic and the mystery is somewhat thin. If you like mysteries for the clues, the red herrings, the complex puzzle building, Aird is not for you. If, however, you enjoy irony and the fine sketches of various personalities (in the context, of course, of a murder), Aird is a good choice.

Recommendation: I'm a firm believer that readers make all the difference in the enjoyment of an audiotape. If you've never heard Robin Bailey before, check one of his audios out of the library first.

Catherine Aird's first book, from 1966, is a good, sold cosy. Up until the 1990s, when her narratives became meandering and precious, Aird figured as one of the best post-WW2 English cosy writers.

I learned a lot from this book but it really left me wanting to know more. His other books are much better. The recipes were not very exciting. I loved his other books and was dissappointed with this one.

This is the most sensible way to look at food I have discoverd. I've heard Gates lecture and it's too bad her diet plan strategy is not in the book (she reported Bailey "lost interest" in the "writing process" of the book so this was excuded. You can write to Gates c/o P. O. Box 974, Lake Oswego, OR 97034

"I can think of no other time in history where the name of Jesus has been so frequently mentioned and the content of His life and teaching so thoroughly ignored". - Brennan Manning, Lion and Lamb

The teachings of Jesus Christ shook the traditions that had arisen during the four hundred years between the testaments and He fulfilled the Law in a way that few had ever anticipated. To follow Him requires the utmost, yet those who do so find that they gain the abundant life that Jesus came to give.

In practice, discipleship was arguably the most difficult teaching of Jesus. In this book Mark Bailey explores what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. He finds seven distinct characteristics that must be found in the life of anyone who ventures to "take up his cross" and follow Christ. I have listed them below with a few of the Scripture references that Bailey used to support them (so you can study their impact for yourself):

Supreme and incomparable love for Jesus - Matt. 10:35-37. Regular study and devotion to God's Word - Jn. 8:31-32; Heb. 5:11-14 Renunciation of yourselves as the authority and focus of our lives - Matt. 16:24; James 1:23-25; Gal. 5:16-25 A life of submission and sacrifice to the cross - Matt. 16:24; Rom. 6:1-14; 1 Cor. 3:3; 2 Cor. 4:11; Gal 2:20. Allegiance to Christ's compelling leadership -1 Kings 19:19-62; Matt. 4:18-22; Lk. 9:57,59,61,62. Recognition of the true ownership of our possessions - Lk. 14:28-33; 1 Cor. 6:19,20. Reflection of Christ's love in our attitudes and actions toward others - John 13:34-35; Jn. 15:1-17; 1 Tim. 1:5.

This is just the skeleton of the book and it already looks convicting. Well, it is...and it should be. Bailey has grabbed a very unpopular teaching from Jesus and placed it in a society of Christians that desperately need it. He comments on Matt. 16:24 by saying "if Jesus were extending that call today, He might say, 'If any of you wishes to follow me, wire your own electric chair, then buckle yourself in, and follow Me. Drop the cyanide capsule into the solution to start up the gas chamber, and follow Me.'" (p.85).

The Christian life should be a radical breach from the life of our culture, but it is the highest life. It is to this life that we were created, to live and enjoy. It is this life that will flourish in the kingdom when Jesus returns to rule over it Himself. The difficulty of the task lies in the fact that He wants us to exemplify it here and now and represent Him to the world through our lives as His children. What an awesome privilege and responsibility.

Mark Bailey has written To Follow Him in an easy to read style and is even a bit conversational at times. Each chapter is filled with potent illustrations, mostly from his own life, and vivid descriptions of the biblical passages in consideration. Each chapter is followed by discussion questions to provoke the reader's thinking and readiness to follow the example of the Master. This book is obviously the product of William MacDonald's book, True Discipleship, which was published in 1975. I could have only wished for a more exhaustive treatment of this supremely important teaching. In summary, this contemporary book will help Christians who read it to understand and live out true biblical discipleship.

Building on the work of William MacDonald, (True Discipleship, Kettrick Press, 1961), the author illuminates the meaning of Jesus' seven "discipleship sayings" with a liberal selection of cogent personal anecdotes. This volume, which omits the substantive exegetical work for which the author is known, was clearly edited for the layman. This lucid volume will help unlock Jesus' command to "go and make disciples." There is one unfortunate shortcoming. Although each chapter includes questions intended to help the reader interact with the material, more help answering the "So what?" question would have been helpful.

This book covers everything a beginning fish keeper needs to know. It has in depth explainations on the concepts that are hard to grasp. My favorite part of this book is the second half which covers many of the popular and unique fish that exist. While it doesn't give exact care for each fish, it tells what is neccesary to keep the species and similar fish. I reccomend this book to beginners who want to set up and learn how to properly maintain a healthy aquarium, wether it be fresh or salt water.

This is a very good starting point for anyone interested in the aquarium hobby. It has information on setting up both marine and fresh water aquariums, plus a section at the back of the book that gives an overview on the different families of fish, both fresh water, marine and brackish water fish. It is a very good for beginners however the main downside to this book is that it is lacking information about water chemistry. This book is not to be overlooked however if you are going to buy it you are best not to stop at buying "only" this particular book before setting up your aquarium.

Though a good book on the history of the role of Security Council in different countries it lacks the introductry chapter on What Security Council is for and its objects and some theory in reference to its position in the UN.

This book is now only available in hardback. However, it is most certainly worth it. The intricate relations between the UN Security Council and the whole machinery of UN human rights treaty implementation and treaty monitoring are explored, with excellent results. The book is also extremely well documented, well written, and offering the author's views which however do not impose themselves on the objectivity of the subject. It is a book I would recommend to all those interested in the subject, and it is - to my knowledge - the only major successful study on the relations between that specific UN body, namely the Security Council, and the complex UN human rights machinery.

Interesting research. Please consult with your physician before
taking supplements. ...

Herbert Bailey's first book about vitamin E, Vitamin E: Your Key To A Healthy Heart, was published in 1964. It was the first book on the subject of vitamins to sell a million copies. At that time, the cause for vitamins and "antioxidants" was considered the domain of crackpots and was generally dismissed by the medical establishment. This is not the case any more, but this is so largely due to the long (30-year) almost single-handed efforts of Herbert Bailey.

Herbert Bailey's latest book about vitamin is the only one of his seven books not out of print. For anyone interested in the history of the political struggle to make vitamins respected and mainstream, or anyone interested in the scientific subject of vitmins and vitamin E in particular, this book is essential reading, for Herbert Bailey is the Father of the Vitamin Revolution.

the book is comprehensive, though it is just an update and only changes have been incorp. the layout may be changed.

I was delighted to be an attendee of the 1st International Pump Symposium, and found this book to be an adequate and poigniant sampling of some of the better talks and lectures presented therein. I found a piece on replication of hose gaskets to be quite exhilirating. Face it, pump-based literature has finally come into its own. Girls are cool, guys are not.

This is an excellecnt collecton of Beetle Bailey strips that is sure to please any fan.
