Social anthropologist Edward Evans-Pritchard wrote Witchcraft, Oracles, and Magic Among the Azande after 20 months' fieldwork with the Azande people of the South Sudan. It became the founding text in the anthropology of witchcraft, and has been hailed as a classic. Although Witchcraft had little impact when it first appeared in 1937, its popularity grew after World War II. Alongside his subsequent work on the Nuer people, Witchcraft established Evans-Pritchard's reputation as an important anthropologist.

Originally written as 13 individual books around 397 CE, Augustine of Hippo's Confessions is one of the most referenced works in the Western literary tradition. Augustine lived from 354-430 CE, and the work is in part an autobiography. But it also tells us much about the period in which he lived. The first nine books draw a compelling narrative of the first 43 years of Augustine's life, which were spent in North Africa and Italy. In the 10th book, Augustine uses these experiences as a meditation on the nature of memory.

Code breakers and Bible hints concerning times of the Resurrection and Rapture. Key prophecies about the last trump.

In offering this volume to teachers, my chief aim is to provide material for narration which shall deal, not with things temporal but with the “Eternal Verities”. These, if presented to our boys and girls in dramatic form, at the most impressionable period of their lives, will sink deeply into their minds. When presented in more direct and didactic fashion, the same truths often fail to impress. These stories of the Buddha are not for one age or one country, but for all time and for the world.

In the Colosseum of Ancient Rome, it was not uncommon for Christians to be thrown to the lions. This was a one-sided public spectacle that was meant to intimidate Christians into complying with the social order of the day. This ancient fact stands as a modern-day analogy between evolution and creationism. Let me explain. In almost every mode of media, including in our children’s textbooks, evolution is referred to as an unquestioned fact. If anyone dares to speak against it, or even mentions “creation” as an option, they will be thrown to the lions of public disdain.

See how Lucifer used the raw truth of scripture to craft a deadly lie. In Little Green Plant, Salaiz testifies to the truths concerning this subject, and the beautiful lie that has made a way for marijuana to subtly slide onto the throne in place of God, denying his power.

People in the world often reject Christianity simply because they can't distinguish it from mere morality. The world needs morality - oppression thrives when consciences are abandoned - but we need more than morality alone. We need the gospel of grace.
