In the nothingness of space, God found matter, building blocks of regiments, from earlier times. With that matter, he created the earth, placing it among the stars. It was encircled by the leftover matter floating in a giant ring about the earth. That matter he formed again into six new worlds, and because the matter was so unique, he placed it inside the same space as earthseven worlds each separate and distinct, all in the same heavenly space yet operating freely from one another. Life was placed on each world, and only occasionally, a bubble would form allowing free passage from one world to another. Earth saw invading creatures mostly as monsters. The gift of balance was given to maintain order and thought. One man has controlled the seven gifts to keep the balance of worldsuntil now! Experience the modern-day connection as bubbles open to mystical worlds, with the boy Theron Salter fighting the terror of the wolf on the wall. See strange lands; discover where lost people and machines have gone.
The present commentary seeks to be a kind of halfway house between highly technical and popular treatments of Galatians. Its purpose is to make the exposition as user-friendly as possible with only as many technicalities as necessary to accomplish that end. The emphasis of the work is decidedly theological, with attention focused on the salvation historical argument of Paul's letter. Its main target audience includes pastors, students, and Pauline scholars. The exposition assumes a modified form of the "New Perspective" on Paul and Second Temple Judaism as its framework of interpretation, and for this reason a premium has been placed on the letter's historical context as attested by the literature of Second Temple Judaism as well as the Greco-Roman environment. However, far from being inimical to the foundational concerns of the Reformation, this reading of the Galatian letter is fully supportive of the great mottoes of the Reformers themselves: Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, and especially Solus Christus, and all the more as the present work endeavors to honor an oft-neglected slogan of the Reformation, Ad Fontes (to the sources). The previous subtitle, A New Perspective/Reformational Reading, has now been changed to A Reading from the New Perspective in order to underscore the author's appreciation of what has been learned from such scholars as J. D. G. Dunn, N. T. Wright, and numerous others.
"Action adventure icon" Mack Bolan is about to become an American Executioner in Paris ( Los Angeles Times). Using the sniper skills he sharpened in the jungles of Southeast Asia, Mack Bolan has waged a personal war against organized crime. Cleaning up the states came first. Now he's going international. While staking out Mafia activity at the Washington Dulles airport, Bolan is caught in an ambush by syndicate guards. As a cordon of police close in on the most wanted man in America, Bolan is forced to fly or die. Escaping on an airliner bound for the City of Lights, Bolan meets a man who could be his mirror image. So much so, that the double is mistakenly kidnapped by the mob as he steps off the plane. To rescue this unsuspecting innocent, the Executioner is going to bring the Paris underworld to its knees. He may not speak French, but he's fluent in the universal language of a .32. With more than two hundred millions copies of the Executioner books sold to date, author Don Pendleton didn't just create a cultural phenomenon, he "spawned a genre" that still impacts artists today ( The New York Times). Acknowledged by Gerry Conway as "[the] inspiration" for the Marvel Comics avenger, The Punisher, Mack Bolan remains "just as powerful in the world of publishing as he is in the dark alleys of any crime-infested urban hell" (NYBooktime). Currently in development as a major motion picture, the classic Executioner books pack a punch unequalled in the field of action-series adventure. Continental Contract is the 5th book in the Executioner series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
In his war against the mob, the Executioner slams into the Florida coast like a one-man hurricane in the classic series from "a writer who spawned a genre" ( The New York Times). A sniper trained in the jungles of Vietnam, Mack Bolan is the kind of vigilante hero "who would make Jack Reacher think twice" (Empireonline.com). Unleashing his vengeance coast to coast, Bolan is waging a very personal war on organized crime. Now, with a cadre of Cuban revolutionaries on his side, it's time for a hurricane called the Executioner to blindside Miami. Bolan had planned to fight his way across the country, taking out branches of the syndicate one by one. Then comes a break Bolan never dreamed of: All of his enemies have assembled in the Sunshine State to finalize the elimination of the Executioner. For Bolan, the mob's Miami summit is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the entire Mafia with one single blow. "Don Pendleton's anti-hero is just as powerful in the world of publishing as he is in the dark alleys of any crime-infested urban hell" ( NYBooktime). With more than two hundred millions copies of the Executioner books sold since its phenomenal debut, the iconic action series is still inspiring artists today. Gerry Conway, cocreator of the Marvel Comics series, The Punisher, credits the series for "[giving] me the idea for the lone, slightly psychotic avenger." Currently in production as a major motion picture, the Executioner still blows away the competition. Miami Massacre is the 4th book in the Executioner series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
