Shalom! I know you may have read many prophetic books before, but the difference with this book is that it's more than a book that can be read. It's a manual that can be lived. This manual holds all the wisdom and years of my experience in the prophetic office. I freely share all the wisdom, instruction, trials and errors that have groomed me to where I presently am in power, anointing and ministry. I have had the prophet's school in session for the last nine years, releasing 200 prophets and prophetess in the kingdom that operate in protocol, order, and accuracy. Well all that I have been through is the result of the birthing of this manual. This manual is used in our P.I.T. School of training as the text book to enhance the teaching. Read, study and bind this wisdom and teaching to the spirit of your mind so you can freely apply the instruction. Also look for volume 2 the advanced training prophetic manual, entitled "Going to the Higher Place".

The Dogrib Indians are one of the Dene people of Western Canadian Subarctic; they speak a language belonging to the widespread Athapaskan family, whose southern relatives include the Navajos and Apaches of the southwestern United States. This study draws on the author’s field studies from 1959 to 1974 to present an ethnographic description of Dogrib religion. The first part of the book introduces three prophets who came to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s. Though they developed from the same tradition and had the same aims, their prophetic styles contrasted dramatically with one another. Helm situates the prophetic movement in relation to tribal and Christian traditions and shows the determining importance of the prophets personalities in shaping their teachings. The second part of the book examines the traditional Dogrib concept of power (ink’on), drawing on information given over the course of the years by Vital Thomas, a religious leader who collaborated closely with Helm. This firsthand material, told in Thomas’s own words, is noteworthy for its personal perspective and for the understanding it provides of the differing sources and uses of power. This concept of power is so pervasive in daily life that it forms the key for understanding the dynamics of Dogrib culture. The book concludes with a brief autobiography related by Vital Thomas. Prophecy and Power among the Dogrib Indians is important for documenting the prophet movement among the Dene people in the late twentieth century and for situating it historically in the context of Dogrib traditional culture.

Newly crowned King and Queen, Michael and Sarah Kent-Hughes are ready to get down to business, serving the people of the United Kingdom to the best of their abilities. Unknown to them, looming scandals in the Church of England and beyond are about to begin a cascade of events that threaten to destroy the Church, their family and society's ability to function. Michael, Sarah and those closest to them will be forced to confront destructive and predatory sins in an attempt to save the Church and the future of the country. What readers said about Dancing Priest (Book 1): "I found myself not wanting it to end. There was so much imagery and amazing detail in the story. As an artist I was amazed at how accurately he understood us. " "At least a dozen times, I had to stop reading for a moment to control tears. The story is that gripping, that real." "When I read Dancing Priest I was immediately captured by the breadth of Glynn's story. It was, at the same time, an action story; a love story; a story about spiritual struggles; and a story about one man who believes he can make a difference." And A Light Shining (Book 2): "It turns suspenseful and heartwarming. A Light Shining has all the qualities of those classic tales that stay with you for the long journey. These characters become friends and fellow sojourners ... making their way into a reader's heart and encouraging a deeper faith--one that has hands and feet. We all need such role models as Michael and Sarah-Kent Hughes." "Read A Light Shining any way you can: Kindle, Nook, paper. Be prepared to leave long blocks of time to read. Guaranteed. Be prepared to be captured with this story. I found myself going through a range of emotions as I read, yes even tears." "Yes, the same characters from Dancing Priest are here and some fascinating new ones, too. Yes, there are glimpses into Michael's everyday life as an Anglican priest. But from the very first sentence, you know that we are most definitely not in Kansas anymore. There is something ominous afoot, a threat that hangs heavy over every page." And Dancing King (Book 3): "It is such a joy to be back in this world, which is so well-rendered it could qualify as alternate history. And no one writes a crowd scene like Glynn Young! - Megan Willome, author of The Joy of Poetry "Young is a masterful storyteller whose charcters don't remain people on a page, but become friends for life." - Martha Orlando, author of The Glade series "I couldn't put it down." - Cindee S. Re, author of Finding Purpose: Finding Meaning in Life with Chronic Illness "Themes of redemption, restoration, courage, and community run deep through the lines of Dancing King. Once again, Glynn Young exceeds readers' hopes, showing a main character in Michael Kent who continues to mature in his faith and leadership." - Luke Davis, author of the Cameron Ballack mysteries

Apart from the mainline, Pentecostal, and Zionist churches, there are different types of African Independent/Indigenous Churches (AIC). The greater part of the more than four thousand denominations and eight million adherents came into the AIC during the past three decades, mainly from the traditional African religious background. The important role of the diviner in the traditional society has been replaced by the prophet in the AIC; the prophet understands the worldview of his/her people, especially the cultural diseases. In some churches the office of prophet cum diviner is represented by one person. The AIC movement is the most dynamic church movement in many parts of Africa, especially Southern Africa. The consistent growth of these churches can largely be accounted for by the healing procedures they use, which ar highlighted in this study. Dr. Oosthuizen approaches healing from various angles, as sickness is not only determined by physical and psychological factors, but also by disturbed human relationships and socio-political and economic tensions.

British Dance, Black Routes is an outstanding collection of writings which re-reads the achievements of Black British dance artists, and places them within a broad historical, cultural and artistic context. Until now discussion of choreography by Black dance practitioners has been dominated by the work of African-American artists, facilitated by the civil rights movement. But the work produced by Black British artists has in part been within the context of Britain’s colonial legacy. Ramsay Burt and Christy Adair bring together an array of leading scholars and practitioners to review the singularity and distinctiveness of the work of British-based dancers who are Black and its relation to the specificity of Black British experiences. From sub-Saharan West African and Caribbean dance forms to jazz and hip-hop, British Dance, Black Routes looks afresh at over five decades of artistic production to provide an unparalleled resource for dance students and scholars.
