Faith is woven with a Crimson Cord to connect centuries full of historical events about Jesus' life on earth. The picture book, THE JOHN 3:16 MESSENGERS, uses butterflies and hand illustrations to tell this redemption revelation. Passages, from both the Old and the New Testament of the Bible, are sited on each written page to support the story itself. Romans 1:20 (NKJV) states: "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they (mankind) are without excuse..."Below is listed how each stage of the butterfly's life-cycle can represent Jesus' Victory Story. The egg-the Angel Gabriel visited Mary (a virgin) and told her God would place the Seed of His Son inside her womb. The caterpillar-Christ's life as a baby, a child, and a man on earth who hungered, suffered, wept, loved, healed, and taught. The chrysalis-Christ's human body dying on the cross and being buried in a tomb for three days. The butterfly-Christ's new glorious body being raised from the dead, breaking free from the chains of entombment, and ascending into heaven after walking on the earth for forty days. The last page of the book offers readers, who have not acknowledged Christ as Lord and Savior, a chance to begin their faith-walk by accepting the Truth found in the scriptures from the Roman Road to Salvation. "For God so loved the world, He created Butterfly Messengers. They flutter here, there, and everywhere To tell the story of His Son, Jesus- His BIRTH His LIFE, His DEATH, His RESURRECTION."

Here, eagerly anticipated, is the definitive biography of Elijah Muhammad (né Elija Poole), a sharecropper's son with a fourth- grade education who became one of the most controversial Americans of the twentieth century, the founder and "Prophet" of the Nation of Islam, a movement dedicated to black separatism and self-empowerment. Though Muhammad's main argument--that white people were innately evil ("devils," he called them)--ran counter to the precepts of orthodox Islam, he was the chief influence in the conversion of nearly four million African Americans to Islam, touching in the process the lives of figures ranging from Muhammad Ali and Jesse Jackson to Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan. But in his desperate grasp for power, Muhammad also amassed a huge personal fortune at the expense of his followers. He was a party to ritualistic homicides, had illicit affairs galore, and was quick to betray his friends and charges, most notably Malcolm X. In brief, he violated every ideal and principle that he espoused. With the cooperation of some of Elijah Muhammad's children and former apostles and with access to previously unreleased FBI files, Karl Evanzz gives us an unprecedented account of the life of the man whose philosophy continues, long after his death, to shape race relations in America.

Bart Ehrman--the New York Times bestselling author of Misquoting Jesus and a recognized authority on the early Christian Church--and Zlatko Plese--a foremost authority on Christian Gnosticism--here offer a valuable compilation of over 40 ancient gospel texts and textual fragments that do not appear in the New Testament. This comprehensive collection contains Gospels describing Jesus's infancy, ministry, Passion, and resurrection, and includes the controversial manuscript discoveries of modern times, such as the Gospel of Thomas and the most recent Gospel to be discovered, the Gospel of Judas Iscariot. Each translation begins with a thoughtful examination of important historical, literary, and textual issues in order to place the Gospel in its proper context. This volume is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in early Christianity and the deeper meanings of these apocryphal Gospels.
