These questions must be asked: What is the real lifestyle of Christians, and what happens when... Some of our churches are out-of-order, filled with "overgrown babies," wearing diapers, which at times are dirty and smelly. Please do not take or touch their pacifiers; they will cry, yell, and have temper tantrums. -Dr. Rose Maria McCarthy Anding When The Church is Out of Order, it affects all Christians, their communities, and the whole society of mankind-in essence, the whole world. It is the Gospel that restores order; it also restores the broken, battered, and beat-down sinners. Now Christians need to go into the world to preach the Gospel that restores the order in the Church. My Invitation to You... Look at this question: Do real Christians exist in the real world? This book brings different sides of life to light, including the character of persons known as Christians and how to distinguish them from people who profess to believe-and may even believe that they believe-but who are Christian in name only. It seems that each person calling themselves a Christian will fall within one of the following three groups: Kingdom's Children, Religious People, or Church Folks. Do you remember the Apostle Paul gave a wake-up call to the Church at Corinth about their worldly condition that had caused it to be out-of-order? This story, in its essence, is a wake-up call to Christians worldwide. Oh, Church, it is time for the real Christians to do a table-turning job and sound the alarm. The Church is Out of Order and needs to put God's house in order because The 3Ps are Leaving the Church.

Story of Lemurs We shall look at the lemurs of Madagascar to help us learn more about the importance of the Golden Rule. Lemurs are small primates, like monkeys but smaller, and have many characteristics like human beings. The name lemur means roving spirit, which is akin to the animal's character of roving the forests from tree to tree in full happiness.These gorgeous animals are found only on the island of Madagascar, which is located on the southeastern side of Africa. The only other place one can see lemurs is at the zoo. Like human beings that are of many races, lemurs come in many different species. Similarly, they live in extended families, just like humans live with their family. Below, we explore several ways that lemurs can help us learn and apply the Golden Rule in our day-to-day lives.

The tragedies of my yesterdays are now the sermons I preach, the lessons I share, and the memories that have caused me to lay down the stones that I used to carry. Rose "Maria McCarthy" Anding was trapped in a life of addiction, crime, sex, violence, and homelessness for over twenty-five years. Her life turned on an axis of High Heels, Honey Lips, and White Powder. During that time, she was raped, robbed, beaten, shot at, and became involved in the infamous drug scandal of Mayor Marion Barry of Washington, D.C.; she was even jailed. After four marriages and decades acting the harlot, leading men astray with her high heel, honeyed lips, and perfumed sheets, Maria hit rock bottom. That is when world-weary Maria McCarthy found herself on the doorstep of a spiritual rehab center, and finally met her Savior and was reintroduced to Rose, the woman God created her to be. Once she'd traded her high heels for a Bible, and her cocaine for a relationship with Jesus, only then could she perform the task God made her do. Mere months after completing drug rehabilitation, Rose was counseling and sharing her story with other women who had been leading similar lifestyles to her own. Because Rose met and fell in love with Jesus, this book is her way of telling all that it doesn't matter who you are or what your addiction is, if you feel helpless and alone, Jesus can set you free--just come and fall in love with Jesus
Brett McCarthy lives for vocabulary words, soccer, and her larger-than-life grandmother, Nonna. Unfortunately, Brett's got a big mouth she can't seem to tame and opinions she can't keep to herself. And she's obsessed with the moment she became redefined and went from good student, bestfriend-to-Diane to twice-suspended, friendless, and deadest meat in Maine. Soon her world has turned upside down, and she's not sure where she fits, what she should do, or how to make right what she, and her big fat mouth, have made wrong. Brett's fresh and funny voice will keep readers laughing out loud at her plights, groaning in sympathy at every misstep, and rooting for her as things go from bad to worst ever possible.

Ossium Carnes Multae e Marci Tullii Ciceronis epistulis

Beginners and experts alike will find a complete immersion into the workings and nature of the Latin language embodied in the incomparable, insuperable epistles of the great Marcus Tullius Cicero, something which other commentators pass over or scorn. This second volume puts “meat on the bones” of the Latin language presented in the first volume: Ossa Latinitatis Sola: The Mere Bones of Latin. The personal letters of Cicero provide ample meat to enflesh the skeletal structure of the language, thus the title: Ossium Carnes Multae: The Bones’ Meats Abundant from the epistles of Marcus Tullius Cicero. Part 1 presents 51 complete letters from the Tyrell-Purser text. Facing each letter is an image of its oldest manuscript edition as early as the ninth century, which are preserved and guarded in the Medicea Laurentiana library in Florence, Italy, witnessing to the human hand preserving this monument of world heritage for over two millennia. Part 2 follows with a most careful rendition into English of Tully’s living, telephone-like Latin discourse. A thorough treatment and explanation of noteworthy elements of his natural talk follows with numerous references to the Encounters in Volume I. All this has students, learners, teachers, experts of the Latin language in mind and is humbly designed to deepen the understanding and appreciation of specific expressions and peculiarities of Cicero’s language itself.Part 3 provides 500 sentences consisting of from 1 to 5 words and suited for the beginnings or continuation of Latin conversations: 200 declarations, 100 questions, 100 exclamations, 100 injunctions drawn from his letters. The volume is amply indexed.All this has been done to enhance the study and use of Latin, to popularize Cicero’s correspondence, to prepare the reader for Volume III which will deal again with the letters and their usefulness for Latin conversation.
The Impact of Youth Imprisonment on the Lives of Parents

It has long been argued that families play a crucial role in helping support prisoners during and beyond their time in prison. Through harnessing material and emotional support offered through family, prisoners can have a stronger commitment to move towards prosocial pathways via these important social ties. Yet, often overlooked are the experiences of families themselves in providing support for prisoners. This book focuses on parents whose adolescent male children are sent to prison. Charting many of the adversities which parents face – from violence, psychological stress, to stigma and shame – the book provides one of the first empirical assessments of the ways parents manage the consequences of serious crime and navigate relationships with their children in prison.As well as documenting major social hardships of imprisonment, the book will also assess the heterogeneous impacts on relationships between parents and their male children, including cases where relationships may improve or worsen over the sentence. With sensitivity to issues of gender, ethnicity and inequality in families, this book sheds new light on many of the problems of youth crime and presents a highly topical insight into the effects of imprisonment on parents. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, youth justice, sociology and all those interested in the role of families in supporting prisoners.

Providing an interdisciplinary perspective, the Brief will appeal to a wide range of readers with interests in computational social science, public policy, political sciences as well as policy-makers, think tanks, and practitioners who focus on the China-Hong Kong nexus.
