After the Spirit Comes is for the Christian who wants the fullest possible life in Christ. This book answers the question, "What can a person expect after the Holy Spirit has indwelt his life-not only after conversion, but after being filled with the Spirit?" Jack Taylor moves from the Spirit-filled life experience to give guidance in several areas. He stresses the basics of the Christian life--Bible reading and prayer, but goes into depth concerning the expectations of that life. After the Spirit Comes puts the Spirit-filled life in full Biblical focus. It guards the believer from becoming "at ease in Zion," and emphasizes living a balance d life for Christ. After the Spirit Comes is among Jack Taylor's favorite books. When asked why he replies, "I had more fun writing it than most. I hid myself in a lovely place by a rushing river and I seemed to be floating on a cloud during the duration of its writing. It contains some of my most joyous principles of life from the Word. This is a life-changing book for me, and I believe it will change your life as well Oh yes, there is another reason. It contains the most popular sermon that I have preached: The Rod of God." Enjoy this message and a dozen other classics by Jack Taylor.
This is a companion book to my two other books: "Remarks On Existential Nihilism" and "Remarks On Existential Therapy." If you enjoyed reading those books, this book approaches similar themes. In this book I discuss how peoples unhappiness has a social dimension to it. As in you can predict one's misery by virtue of the fact that individuals are part of society. I also have chapters on Narcissism and Gratitude.

Liberty, Equality, Fraternity offers readers an accessible and lively introduction to the French Revolution that is also grounded in the latest and most sophisticated historical scholarship. It does so through two paths—a book and a companion CD-ROM. The book gives a brief but comprehensive narrative of the Revolution. The CD-ROM offers readers an unprecedented multimedia overview of the Revolution through images, primary documents, and song. Together they introduce readers to the fascinating story of the world’s first great revolution. The book, written by Lynn Hunt and Jack Censer, preeminent authorities on the French Revolution, includes selected images and documents from the accompanying CD-ROM, prepared by the authors with the support of the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University and the American Social History Project at City University of New York. Features of the CD-ROM include primary documents (carefully chosen, translated, and placed in their proper historical contexts by a team of historians), songs, maps, and more than 300 images (caricatures, portraits, sculptures, and photographs of artifacts of material culture)—many previously available only to specialists in the field. These hard-to-find images, gathered from repositories in France and the United States, comprise an unparalleled and powerful visual record of the Revolution. Given the centrality of visual artifacts (imagery, symbolism, and print culture) to the history of the Revolution, and the inability of print reproduction to present such images with clarity and detail, the companion CD-ROM will provide an entry into the Revolution unavailable in any other form.
