This is a comprehensive study of the surviving monuments of the Qarakhanids an important yet little-known medieval dynasty that ruled much of Central Asia between the late 10th and early 13th centuries. Based on extensive fieldwork and many hard-to-find Russian sources, the book places the surviving monuments into the wider cultural context of the region. Many photographs and new ground-plans are included, as well as detailed studies of individual monuments and the wider architectural aesthetic. These monuments serve as the link between the mostly lost Samanid architecture and the far larger and better-known monuments of the Timurids.

As a layperson, I cannot claim the encouragement and support of theologians and ministers and others who make their living through teaching the legacy of Martin Luther and, certainly, no support has come from the Roman Catholic hierarchy as I have researched this book. Yet I would hope they are all lovers of the truth and will welcome the research and knowledge I have put into this book.My inability to accept the fairytale known as infant baptism has led me to question the logic of whole denominations that blindly teach their members they are saved and going to heaven because they were baptized by ministers and parents when they were infants. My previous book The Secret About Infant Baptism That Everyone's Missing deals with the lack of theological proof of infant baptism and traces the origins of infant baptism to the goddess religions. These same churches that are teetering on apostasy today have apostasy in their past. In this book, I examine the Roman Catholic church and the Protestant churches that teach an infant baptism and the destruction this has brought on the Christians and Jews who refused to be baptized into their churches, believing infant baptism to be heresy. Few know that most martyrs of the church since the middle of the fourth century were murdered by the infant baptism churches because they would not practice infant baptism.

Mina'i, or polychrome overglaze, ware was made in Iran between the late 12th and the early 13th centuries. However, most pieces in museums have in fact been rebuilt, often from pieces of multiple different vessels with extensive plaster fill and modern overpaint. Only by closely examining unrestored archaeological sherds genuine fragments of pots can we build an authentic picture of what mina'i ware actually looked like. In this innovative book, Richard P. McClary studies sherds in collections around the world to help us to understand the production, decoration and distribution of the wares. He then examines the increased popularity of mina'i ware from the late-19th to the mid-20th century, with a focus on the dealers, collectors and curators, as well as the various types of faking, restoration, repair and conservation that has occurred over the last century.

Why another book on the Holy Ghost? That is the question I asked myself when God was directing me to write this book. The n the answer came to me: One of the biggest problems in the church today is a lack of understanding of the work and ministry of the Holy Ghost. Some people have given credit to the Holy Ghost that should be called the work of the unholy ghost. It is not the work of God. Some people, because of fear, have forgotten about His ministry in their personal life as well as His work in the local church. They miss the power of God. This is the work of the devil and must be addressed before we can become the force that God would have us to be. One of the most important things in my life was when I got hold of the Holy Ghost; or should I say, when the Holy Ghost got hold of me. I hope you will read this book with much prayer, an open mind, an open KJV Bible, and a willingness to find truth.
This lavishly illustrated volume presents the major surviving monuments of the early period of the Rum Seljuqs, the first major Muslim dynasty to rule Anatolia. A much-needed overview of the political history of the dynasty provides the context for the study of the built environment which follows. The book addresses the most significant monuments from across the region: a palace, a minaret and a hospital are studied in detail, along with an overview of the decorative portals attached to a wide array of different building types. The case studies are used to demonstrate the key themes and processes of architectural synthesis and development that were under way at the time, and how they reflect the broader society.
