Uncovering the professional secrets of con artists and swindlers in the medieval Middle East The Book of Charlatans is a comprehensive guide to trickery and scams as practiced in the thirteenth century in the cities of the Middle East, especially in Syria and Egypt. The author, al-Jawbarī, was well versed in the practices he describes and may well have been a reformed charlatan himself. Divided into thirty chapters, his book reveals the secrets of everyone from “Those Who Claim to be Prophets” to “Those Who Claim to Have Leprosy” and “Those Who Dye Horses.” The material is informed in part by the author’s own experience with alchemy, astrology, and geomancy, and in part by his extensive research. The work is unique in its systematic, detailed, and inclusive approach to a subject that is by nature arcane and that has relevance not only for social history but also for the history of science. Covering everything from invisible writing to doctoring gemstones and quack medicine, The Book of Charlatans opens a fascinating window into a subculture of beggars’ guilds and professional con artists in the medieval Arab world. A bilingual Arabic-English edition.

Can Americas destiny be found in the Bible? Is the United States on a course that will cause a Titanic-like collision? Will the Church of Jesus Christ be able to sustain the distressed nation during the coming apocalyptical cataclysms? Using the three witnesses of the Scripture, historical logic and prophetic word given by respected and proven men of God, Val Kanchelov provides a clear map of what is going to occur in America as time wraps up. His vantage point makes historical events, with their parabolic meaning, shine with new light when applied to the prophetic course of this nation. Besides its survival manual application, American Prophecy is most of all a hope-giver. It encourages you to trust in God as the only source of victory in the final chapters of this present age, when sin and its derivatives come to fruition. www.kanchelov.com

The present volume comprises the papers delivered at RICAN 6, which was held in Rethymnon, Crete, on May 30-31, 2011. The focus is placed on male and female characters in the ancient novel and related texts, both pagan and Christian; these characters are presented either as holy or as charlatans but in several cases the two categories cannot be easily distinguished from each other. The papers offer a wide and rich range of perspectives.

Gods purpose for prophecy is different than what our purpose for prophecy has been. Our purpose for prophecy has focused on the End Times for over forty years, but there is much more to know about prophecy than just the End Times. Knowing Gods purpose for prophecy contains essential benefits for our faith in Christ. It births faith. It gives endurance to our faith by giving us hope, and it equips us for evangelism. All this comes from prophecy? Yes, and much more.

In the Old Testament, the prophet would guide the king, therefore the people, by speaking the will of God, and many times the will of God will include correction, judgment and warnings. Prophets were often ignored in the Old Testament, while even back in those days among the true prophets you found many speaking deceptions and lies. Today, nothing has changed, because God does not change (Hebrews 13:8). Prophets are still called to lead the corporate church by speaking and declaring the will, the purpose and the mandate of God. What the prophet utters may contain correction or judgment, or it may speak of encouragement, direction or wisdom. Prophets still speak to nations, or even to a multitude of nations, declaring the will of God not just unto the Church but unto secular leaders as to warn, to guide, to direct and to declare the heart and mind of God. Thus from the old to the new, nothing has changed in regard to the prophet. Yet the office is often misunderstood, and also shrouded in mystery, erroneous perceptions and terrible abuse. This series divides the truth from the myriad of lies, misconceptions, fallacies and erroneous teachings regarding the prophetic.
