What is the state of Christianity in China? Some scholars say that China is invulnerable to religion. In contrast, others say that past efforts of missionaries have failed, writing off those converted as nothing more than “rice Christians” or cynical souls who had frequented the missions for the benefits they provided. Some wonder if the Cultural Revolution extinguished any chances of Christianity in China. Rodney Stark and Xiuhua Wang offer a different perspective, arguing that Christianity is alive, well, and on the rise. Stark approaches the topic from an extensive research background in Christianity and Chinese history, and Wang provides an inside look at Christianity and its place in her home country of China. Both authors cover the history of religion in China, disproving older theories concerning the number of Christians and the kinds of Christians that have emerged in the past 155 years. Stark and Wang claim that when just considering the visible Christians-those not part of underground churches-thousands of Chinese are still converted to Christianity daily, and forty new churches are opening each week. A Star in the East draws on two major national surveys to sketch a close-up of religion in China. A reliable estimate is that by 2007 there were approximately 60 million Christians in China. If the current growth rate were to hold until 2030, there would be more Christians in China-about 295 million-than in any other nation. This trend has significant implications, not just for China but for the greater world order. It is probable that Chinese Christianity will splinter into denominations, likely leading to the same political, social, and economic ramifications seen in the West today. Whether you’re new to studying Christianity in China or whether this has been your area of interest for years, A Star in the East provides a reliable, thought-provoking, and engaging account of the resilience of the Christian faith in China and the implications it has for the future.

Words of a Demented Wiseman is a laugh-out-loud satire cascading with a mastery of wordplay and author Rodney Wicks' unique humor. This ferocious, bombastic novel highlights race, identity, and the power of words, categorizing nations and its descendants before you can even pop open your mouth. It is those subtleties and nuances of the spoken words of a language, which can change your reality to something unreal, while confirming that reality of the person wearing a uniform, a gun and a badge but who is paid to protect you! Racism? Profiling? Or both? BMHJ fled America after being last seen leaving the Red Elephant bar with Nikki Johnson, whose body was later found with her throat slashed, stabbed 48 times and a $50 bill protruded from her vagina. And, of course, the condemning evidence, her DNA from her blood was all over his clothes. How could he explain? Hiding out in a French psychiatric clinic, he figured they wouldn't look for a murder suspect there. Rodney Wicks, language trainer by default and founder of the language school AAAL by chance, has been residing in France since 1982.The first-time novelist brings together his lyrical talent and his delightful madness, all the while inserting historical left-outs on both sides of the Atlantic. While in search of the answer to the question: "Is no longer being afraid of those who are paid to protect you, a step closer to equality?" he wrote Words of a Demented Wiseman. He is still in search and still writing. Born in Saginaw, Michigan, he now resides in Peyrelongue Abos, France. He is writing the sequel. Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/RodneyWicks

Albert Fish was a rapist, a child killer and a cannibal who not satisfied with the torture and murders of his young victims would write to the parents to detail all of the vile things he did to the children. One such letter in this book. Albert Fish may have been the sickest serial killer to ever live. He would keep his young victims alive for days and beat them constantly to tenderize their flesh for cooking.John Wayne Gacy, the Killer Clown, who raped and murdered young men then buried their bodies beneath his home.The Hillside Stranglers were a pair of cousins who for months terrorized the state of California. These two sadistic creatures would kidnap women, rape them and then strangle them to death before dumping their bodies along hillsides. No one would be safe from them, prostitutes, students, and children would be targeted by them. Rarely in the history of the world has two men worked so effectively together as killers.Carl Panzram bragged about murdering twenty-one men. He claimed to have raped over one thousand men and boys. This evil creature promised to kill anyone who bothered him and keeping that promise with the murder of a fellow inmate finally got him the death penalty that he deserved.The Boston Strangler Albert Henry DeSalvo terrorized a major America city. The rapes and murders that were committed between 1962-64 are legendary. Thirteen women were sexually assaulted and strangled between the ages of 19 -85 years of age.Russian serial killer, Andrei Chikatilo murdered at least fifty-two women and children. This Russian madman had free rein for almost two decades to prey on the innocent because he lived in a country that until he came along refused to believe that a serial killer could exist there.H.H. Holmes is considered by many to be America's first serial killer. This man confessed to twenty-seven murders, but the actual number could be over two hundred murders. Men, women, children, his family members, his children, friends and enemies, no one was off limits to this man who actually earned a degree as a medical doctor.The second volume of my series on serial killers will introduce you to the women who committed serial killings. These evil women are every bit as cruel and ruthless as their male counterparts. There is a myth that men are the only ones who engage in this type of behavior, sadly that is only a myth as you will learn after reading about only a few of the women who have committed serial killings.I am going to introduce you to a few well-known killers such as Elizabeth Bathory, A.K.A, the Countess of blood. Aileen Wuornos a woman who inspired the film Monster. Leslie Van Houten, a woman who committed murder for Charles Manson. Jane Toppan, a nurse, who killed dozens of her patients. Amelia Dyer, the baby farm murderer, killed hundreds of newborns.

A Guide to Dinosaurs Their Past and Future is the perfect book for those who want to learn more about the history of the dinosaurs and the science behind the hit Jurassic Park Films. Since seeing my first film about dinosaurs as a child I have wondered about these amazing creatures. This had lead me to read many of the available books on the subject, but while doing so I found that there was a hole in library of books about the dinosaur. Most of them were either historical guides or written for children. I had a series of questions that had not been answered inany single book before.Questions like: How did the dinosaurs really die off?Was there more than one theory on their extinction?What dinosaurs were harmless and which would be most dangerous to humans if we existed side by side?In most of the films like Jurassic Park people found it impossible tohunt and kill these creatures, but with our weapons and technology how would we really fare if the dinosaur actually had to deal with well armed human beings?Was the science used in these movies based upon reality or was it really just science fiction?If we can clone the family pet then how close are we to bring back the age of the dinosaur?I have tried to answer these question with this book. I have tried to answer them in a simple and easy to understand way.

This book focuses on Zechariah's vision of Joshua the high priest and how the Lord cleansed him, clothed him, crowned him, and commissioned him. Although Joshua was filthy and being accused by Satan, God stepped in and reversed everything. The focus of this book is to help each of us know that God desires to do the same for us. He wants to bring transformation in our lives that will serve as a sign of and for His power. What He does in us can be shown and done through us to impact others as well.

A Descriptive Catalogue of the Medieval Manuscripts of Pembroke College, Cambridge
The collection of medieval manuscripts at Pembroke College is an important one. Its most striking feature is that the majority of MSS 1-120 came from the abbey of Bury St Edmunds, as the gift of Thomas Smart in 1599. The collection of medieval manuscripts at Pembroke College is an important one. Its most striking feature is that the majority of MSS 1-120 came from the abbey of Bury St Edmunds, as the gift of Thomas Smart in 1599. Included among them is the famous 'Bury Gospels' (MS 120). It is one of the largest groups of monastic manuscripts to survive as an ensemble. The rest are, for the most part, the remains of the College's own medieval library, and have been little studied. In addition there are some twenty post-medieval acquisitions, including two splendid Anglo-Saxon Gospel Books. The main part of this catalogue contains individual, detailed descriptions of some 300 MSS and several hundred binding fragments. The descriptions are preceded by an Introduction outlining the history of the collection, and are accompanied by 130 colour plates. The collection was last catalogued by M. R. James in 1911, and over a century later, this publication both updates his account, and brings to bear modern techniques of manuscript study. Because of the Covid pandemic, the final check on MSS 235-327 was carried out after this book had been printed, and considerable additional details were discovered. This is available as a supplement to the Catalogue, which can be downloaded from the website of Pembroke College Library: https://www.pem.cam.ac.uk/college/library/manuscript-catalogue-supplement.

The book focuses on intangible leadership aspects, underscoring traits like positive attitude, embracing change, and the power of ethical behavior.

The text merges theoretical constructs with practical guidance, presenting readers with actionable principles to implement in their leadership journey. The book explores the underlying qualities of great leadership, including the balance between personality and character and their influence on a leader's ability to motivate and inspire others. The interplay between leadership actions and the personal attributes a leader brings to their role is a focal point, with the aim of presenting a holistic vision of what constitutes effective leadership. To Be a Leader is well suited for courses that focus on organizational leadership, educational leadership, and business administration, providing students with a nuanced understanding of leadership principles and the potential impact of leaders in shaping their environments.
A Descriptive Catalogue of the Medieval Manuscripts of Merton College, Oxford
Descriptive catalogue provides a crucial guide to one of the most important repositories of medieval manuscrips. Merton College, Oxford, one of the oldest colleges in the University, was founded in 1264. Its library contains some 328 complete medieval manuscript books (plus several hundred fragments in, or extracted from, the bindings of early printed books), dating from the ninth to the late fifteenth century. Most of them came to the College before the Reformation, and are the remains of its medieval collection, part of which was chained in the library, part in circulation amongst the Fellowship. Together with the College's surviving medieval archive, which includes no fewer than twenty-three book-lists, this material provides an important window on intellectual life at the University of Oxford between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries, and on the manufacture, acquisition and use of the books that supported it. This first catalogue of the medieval manuscripts since 1852 offers full and detailed descriptions of each item, supported by a colour frontispiece, 50 colour plates, and 107 black and white plates. Its introduction provides the first detailed history of Merton's medieval library, including an account of the building anddesign of the College's 'Old Library', built in the 1370s, western Europe's oldest library room still in use today; and the volume is completed with four appendices (including a comprehensive set of extracts from the College's medieval account rolls referring to its books and library) and two indexes.
