The book Alpha and Omega covers pre-existent names of the Messiah, prophecies, and predictions about the coming of the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament. This book guides readers through some of the usual arguments about the existence of God and the self-existence of Christ before His incarnation as Jesus. Following the very first verse in the Bible, Genesis 1:1 provides the roadmap for the rest of Jesus's biblical story as represented in the New Testament from His birth through His crucifixion, resurrection, and second coming. This study restates the subjects and events based exclusively on biblical accounts and known historical facts in exceptional detail.Jesus Always ExistedThe Old Testament prophets recognized Jesus as God Almighty or Jehovah God, "the First and the Last" (Exod. 6:3; Isa. 44:6, 48:12). In the Old Testament, Jesus is not referred to by His earthly name "Jesus." His true identity is revealed in the New Testament after His holy birth to Virgin Mary when God's angel told Mary to name Him Jesus (Luke 1:30-31).He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. (1 Pet. 1:20)Jesus's true identity was reaffirmed in the book of Revelation:"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." (Rev. 1:8)Who Was Jesus and What Was His Message?Different individuals have different views of Jesus. To some, He is either a prophet or enlightened man. To others, He was a revolutionary or political defiance. To the believers, however, Jesus is the Son of God, the Alpha and the Omega (which He is).

"There is something about a treasure," says Joseph Conrad in Nostromo, "that fastens on a man's mind." And, yes, there is something about the subject of treasure hunting that continues to fascinate us. One only needs to browse the Web to discover a whole netherworld of treasure-hunting magazines, metal-detector clubs, and lost-mine information exchanges that apparently engage the funds and spare time of thousands of hopefuls. But digging up tin cans and discarded horseshoes or crashing through the Superstitions in a "recreational vehicle" somehow goes against the romantic grain. Charles Elliott recaptures the essential romance of the search in this collection of classic stories. Many are true - or purport to be. They encompass all the great themes - obsession, tragedy, danger, crime, frustration, terrible physical challenge, success and disappointment. They take place under the sea, in jungles, on desert islands, even in the attics of old houses. The treasure itself is not always gold, silver, and diamonds - it may be lost documents, the solution to a historical puzzle, or an unexpected archaeological discovery. What is common to them all is the excitement of the chase and the possibility - irrational, perhaps, but unavoidable -that treasure really is there for the finding.

It is a collection of 58 articles published in the 70-80s in the Japanese magazine “Ningen-Igaku” (Human Medicine). Here there are some lines written by the author in the preface: “Western medicine scientifically studies abstract phenomena according to disease name. However, even if a same disease name is given, from the Oriental medicine perspective,I often keenly feel that precise treatment is impossible if you do not consider how patients with similar symptoms might differ in constitution, personality, and environment,which involves very different disease mechanisms and required responses. It occurred to me that people might benefit from reading my impressions of practical experience in those kinds of clinical cases”. These stories are autobiographical and deal intensely with the idea and philosophy of Keiraku shiatsu from the point of view and lifestyle adopted by Masunaga sensei. In this volume, not only he describes the treatments and modalities specific of Iokai, but also the strategy of therapy and the causes of illness, selecting important cases from his own experience. The contents of this book are still relevant and useful for the growth of all shiatsu practitioners/teachers and are very important to perform the treatments considering sho (oriental diagnosis) and kyo and jitsu according to the indications of Shizuto Masunaga.
