Learn how to couple inspired design with flawless execution to create your own striking, original furniture.In his latest book, The Artisan Furnituremaker, long-time furnituremaker Darrell Peart--author of Greene & Greene: Design Elements for the Workshop and In the Greene & Greene Style--brings all his experience to bear in providing a masterclass on the three fundamental requirements for success in the field of custom furniture design: creativity, design, and workmanship. The book offers a detailed examination of the design and production methods of the Greene brothers, legendary furnituremakers and architects of the Arts and Crafts Movement, and illuminates how the brothers achieved such brilliance in their designs, and how they collaborated so successfully with the craftsmen who brought their designs to life.The Artisan Furnituremaker goes on to show how you can combine all three elements-- creativity, design, and workmanship--in your own workshop and produce high quality, distinctively original pieces of your own. Peart covers how creativity is essential for fulfilling the desires of your customers, and how superb design translates creativity into an implementable schematic.Peart goes on to show that in order to create art that is infused with emotion and original in nature, one has to have intuition and inspiration. The book demonstrates this by exploring methods the author has used during his long career to forge a very successful custom furniture business that has produced art of lasting value.Peart draws upon William Varnum's book, Industrial Arts Design. However, he stresses that this is just a starting point, and that equations and rules cannot create original art. For that, intellect, intuition, and inspiration are required, all of which are discussed in relation to art and craft. From there Peart moves on to demonstrate how you can enhance your own design and craftsmanship abilities by a process he calls "Design DNA." Design DNA is a framework for asking the right questions, a procedure he examines at length.The Artisan Furnituremaker is the ultimate resource for creators looking to take their craft to the next level and produce striking, original work.

In this fascinating testimony, author Darrell Sroufe recounts growing up in a home wracked by mental illness; his teen years lost in sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll; and nearly going insane after a bad drug trip. Coming to Christ only a few hours before committing himself to a mental hospital, he soon found full deliverance. Then God opened doors for him to become a counselor, therapist and case manager in several psychiatric institutions. Witnessing the anti-Christian charlatanism of psychiatry while knowing the delivering power of The Great Physician first-hand, he recommended trust in Jesus Christ rather than psychiatrists to patients with mental problems. This quickly resulted in an ongoing conflict with the psychiatric industry. In off-hours evangelistic ministry he did the same, recognizing that insanity is not relegated only to those locked inside psychiatric wards, but runs amuck everywhere in sin-crazed society. Unmasking modern psychiatry, Loony Bin Blues reveals the practice to be a multi-billion dollar business more interested in money than remedying mental illness. Its spurious history, philosophies and ideologies are brought to light, exposing its occult origins and illegitimate pseudo-science challenges to Biblical authority in matters pertaining to the human soul. If you believe that mental illness is simply the result of diseases and chemical imbalances of the brain, or if you don't believe in spiritual realities, then you are in for a real surprise. Loony Bin Blues moves in and out of earthly, heavenly and hellish realms unveiling the truth about psychiatry, insanity and emissaries of light and darkness who battle for the souls of us all. You can't make this stuff up. - S.T. Caballero, Georgia Medical Care Foundation of Atlanta A Christian testimony willing to tell the warts-and-all truth. - April Riggins, Life Impact International
Apocalypse, maybe? No one wants to be the middle child of history. Thinking about surviving the apocalypse feels significant, like we're part of the eternal cosmos, instead of just another organism passing along an infinite timeline. We all want to experience something remarkable in our lifetimes...even if that something results in our own demise.The End is at Hand is a collection of short essays about how people throughout history believe the world could end. The book explores how it has all ended before, when we mistakenly thought it would end again, and the many ways it could end in the future. Though organized chronologically, beginning with prehistoric extinctions and extending in the distant future when the universe may (or may not) collapse. Nothing lasts forever, including the worlds we inhabit - human society, our planet, or the entire universe.The End is at Hand entertains as much as it informs, striking a balance of wry humor with scientifically backed research. Author Darrell Perkins complements these cataclysmic tales with finely crafted linocut illustrations that beautifully evoke impending doom.Darrell Perkins is a printmaker, illustrator, and educator from Providence, Rhode Island, USA. He earned an MFA in illustration from Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland. His work has been exhibited and published throughout the US, Europe, and the Middle East over the past ten years. Perkins is currently a professor of Visual Communication at American University in Dubai.
How would you describe the Abundant Life?Some would describe it from a financial perspective. Some would describe it from the perspective of power and influence. Some would describe it from the perspective of health and well-being.Jesus said that He came so that we might have life and have it abundantly. He made it clear that the only sure foundation for the Abundant Life is the good, sound theology of the Word of God, Holy Scripture, and a living faith relationship with Him. And the more we know and live that Word, the deeper that relationship with Him, the more abundant life becomes. As the saying goes, "A Bible that is falling apart from use, usually belongs to a person who is not falling apart."Wise men of old considered theology to be the "queen of the sciences" because everything since creation, including creation itself, is founded upon good, sound theology. And that good, sound theology is the "order of creation" established by a transcendent, immanent, present, and personal God. It is through this good, sound theology of the "order of creation" that the Holy Spirit of God trains us in true and godly discernment, the ability to distinguish between the true and the false, the good and the bad, the temporal and the eternal, the earthly and the heavenly. I submit that just about every problem and disaster that individuals and nations experience stems from man's insistence on replacing God's "order of creation" with his own.It is my hope and prayer that the articles in this book contribute to the readers' understanding of the Abundant Life Jesus offers and will assist them in their journey toward a blessed life.

The U.S. Marine Corps is very proud of its history, tradition, and heritage. Every Marine is taught to be proud from the beginning of boot camp and this pride continues until they reach the gates of heaven. In Marine Corps recruit training, recruits are transformed into the world's most elite fighting force through 13 weeks of rigorous training. Recruits will acquire the knowledge, discipline, teamwork, and fitness level required of a Marine through physical training, classroom instruction, and combat skills.The author recounts how, in the 1950s, judges would give gang members a choice: join the Marines or go to jail. The impact of boot camp on the few gang members in our platoon demonstrated that those judges understood the transformative power of military discipline. In fact, the Marine Drill Instructors likely did more to turn gang members into productive citizens than a roomful of social workers ever could.Of all the military services, Marines hold a special place in the public conscience. This is reflected in the fact that when our nation is faced with a challenge or threat, the public response usually is "Send in the Marines," or when they are sent in, the usual response is, "The Marines have landed, and the situation is well in hand." In commenting on the Marines, President Reagan said, "Some people wonder all their lives if they have made a difference in the world. Marines don't have that problem." May it always remain so.In the addendum of this book, the author presents an extensive analysis of the all-volunteer Military Force, its beginning, its performance, its major problems, and its overall serious negative effects on the nation's society, culture, core values, and its questionable capability to deter and/or destroy our potential enemies today. Semper Fi.

A Call to Citizens to Wake up and Stand up This is a wake up call for what is happening to our country. It is time to stand up and reclaim the values and vision of our Founding Fathers.The Democratic Party today is far different from the Democratic Party of yesteryear. Although the Party has always had its dirty laundry, similar to any other political organization, today that dirty laundry has accentuated to an unprecedented degree.The radicalized wing of the Democratic Party has politically corrupted the Constitution through its rejection of bipartisanship and its emphasis on one-party rule, and on its approval of and emphasis on judiciary activism to achieve its political agenda. Furthermore, it has spiritually corrupted the Judeo-Christian foundation upon which our Founding Fathers built our nation, with its corruption of the three Sanctities - the Sanctity of Life, the Sanctity of Marriage, the Sanctity of Family - and its rejection of the Ten Commandments, which the Founding Fathers emphasized as the nation's moral code. How did the radicals sow such corruption? With the seeds of Secular Progressive Radical Liberalism and the code of Moral Relativism.
Food fraud, or the act of defrauding buyers of food or ingredients for economic gain -- whether they be consumers or food manufacturers, retailers, and importers -- has vexed the food industry throughout history. Some of the earliest reported cases of food fraud, dating back thousands of years, involved olive oil, tea, wine, and spices. These products continue to be associated with fraud, along with some other foods. Although the vast majority of fraud incidents do not pose a public health risk, some cases have resulted in actual or potential public health risks. This book provides an overview of issues pertaining to food fraud and "economically motivated adulteration" or EMA, a category within food fraud. The book also examines the approaches that FDA uses to detect and prevent economic adulteration of food and medical products and the challenges FDA faces in detecting and preventing economic adulteration and views of stakeholders on options for FDA to enhance its efforts to address economic adulteration.
