The Latter Rain explores the symbols and types of the Book of Isaiah,creating a framework that can then be applied to other books of the Bible,helping the reader perceive meaning that was once obscured in symbolism.One such symbolic type is that of rain. While this type is not exclusive to Isaiah, it is used by Isaiah to symbolize the communication from God to man.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins comes a twelfth collection of poetry offering over fifty new poems that showcase the generosity, wit, and imaginative play that prompted The Wall Street Journal to call him “America’s favorite poet.” The Rain in Portugal—a title that admits he’s not much of a rhymer—sheds Collins’s ironic light on such subjects as travel and art, cats and dogs, loneliness and love, beauty and death. His tones range from the whimsical—“the dogs of Minneapolis . . . / have no idea they’re in Minneapolis”—to the elegiac in a reaction to the death of Seamus Heaney. A student of the everyday, Collins here contemplates a weather vane, a still life painting, the calendar, and a child lost at a beach. His imaginative fabrications have Shakespeare flying comfortably in first class and Keith Richards supporting the globe on his head. By turns entertaining, engaging, and enlightening, The Rain in Portugal amounts to another chorus of poems from one of the most respected and familiar voices in the world of American poetry. Praise for The Rain in Portugal “Nothing in Billy Collins’s twelfth book . . . is exactly what readers might expect, and that’s the charm of this collection.”—The Washington Post “This new collection shows [Collins] at his finest. . . . Certain to please his large readership and a good place for readers new to Collins to begin.”—Library Journal “Disarmingly playful and wistfully candid.”—Booklist

The Bible is filled with mysteries. Along with the clear and obvious declarations in the Scriptures, there are also thousands of hidden and partially hidden symbolic meanings. Some original word meanings were lost in translation from the Hebrew and Greek, as this book reveals. Many other powerful symbolic statements were also divinely interwoven into the text. As with Jesus parables, only those with eyes to see and ears to hear could understand them. Yet all born-again believers have these spiritual eyes and ears, and they are able to see and hear things that the Holy Spirit has already revealed in the Scriptures.

Rain is elemental, mysterious, precious, destructive. It is the subject of countless poems and paintings; the top of the weather report; the source of the world's water. Yet this is the first book to tell the story of rain. Cynthia Barnett's Rain begins four billion years ago with the torrents that filled the oceans, and builds to the storms of climate change. It weaves together science—the true shape of a raindrop, the mysteries of frog and fish rains—with the human story of our ambition to control rain, from ancient rain dances to the 2,203 miles of levees that attempt to straitjacket the Mississippi River. It offers a glimpse of our "founding forecaster," Thomas Jefferson, who measured every drizzle long before modern meteorology. Two centuries later, rainy skies would help inspire Morrissey’s mopes and Kurt Cobain’s grunge. Rain is also a travelogue, taking readers to Scotland to tell the surprising story of the mackintosh raincoat, and to India, where villagers extract the scent of rain from the monsoon-drenched earth and turn it into perfume. Now, after thousands of years spent praying for rain or worshiping it; burning witches at the stake to stop rain or sacrificing small children to bring it; mocking rain with irrigated agriculture and cities built in floodplains; even trying to blast rain out of the sky with mortars meant for war, humanity has finally managed to change the rain. Only not in ways we intended. As climate change upends rainfall patterns and unleashes increasingly severe storms and drought, Barnett shows rain to be a unifying force in a fractured world. Too much and not nearly enough, rain is a conversation we share, and this is a book for everyone who has ever experienced it.

In this inspiring masterpiece, ‘The Seed: A Leader’s Growth Path’ Milverton Ojegun reveals a series of life changing leadership principles that will challenge you to move beyond your present situation. Eminently practical and spiritually powerful, it carries direct messages of how a leader is created to continually be on the growth path, how to avoid the accompanying pitfalls, and identify opportunities designed for you by God. We all possess a ruling capacity, just like God, as He purposely created man to be exactly like Him, to reign on earth in our chosen fields. However, for too long many have walked out of character, as most have failed to understand that we are a true reflection of God’s very image; designed to act like Him in full authority, power, and excellence. In this straight-forward thought-provoking book, the author helps you understand that you are a seed planted by God, and ordered to be continually productive; affirming that your foundational faith as a believer, and His Word for you, are seeds He has, in turn, given you to build up on. However, certain principles must also be followed for you to attain your full capacity as a leader. This book will open the windows of your heart to a fresh understanding of you, while simultaneously awakening the untapped ideas that lie within you, as it uncovers those multi-faceted principles that will place you on the right path to growth and excellence.
