Jimmy Carter was a complex man who from his early years in rural southern Georgia, strove for excellence and ambitiously pursued his personal agenda-from an Annapolis educated naval officer who worked on the early development of the nuclear submarine to a successful small businessman and farmer to a political career that culminated in four years in the White House. One thing that made Jimmy Carter such an interesting and complex person was the unique combination of principles and political ambition that shaped and guided him every step of the way through his life. This book examines the presidency of Jimmy Carter.

Throughout the world cotton is broadly adapted to growing in temperate, sub-tropical, and tropical environments, but growth may be challenged by future climate change. Production may be directly affected by changes in crop photosynthesis and water use due to rising CO2 and changes in regional temperature patterns. Indirect effects may result from a range of government regulations aimed at climate change mitigation. While there is certainty that future climate change will impact cotton production systems; there will be opportunities to adapt. This review begins to provide details for the formation of robust frameworks to evaluate the impact of projected climatic changes, highlight the risks and opportunities with adaptation, and details the approaches for investment in research. Ultimately, it is a multi-faceted systems-based approach that combines all elements of the cropping system that will provide the best insurance to harness the change that is occurring, and best allow cotton industries worldwide to adapt. Given that there will be no single solution for all of the challenges raised by climate change and variability, the best adaptation strategy for industry will be to develop more resilient systems. Early implementation of adaptation strategies, particularly in regard to enhancing resilience, has the potential to significantly reduce the negative impacts of climate change now and in the future.

This book takes a hard, real-world look at what it takes to engage in ministry today. The book begins by uncovering the truth of what ministry actually is and by biblically establishing the authority and ability of all Christians to be ministers. We are then invited to explore five character qualities that are crucial to the development of a dynamic personal ministry in today's socially complex environment. Ultimately, through scripturally based exhortation, we are encouraged to accept the purpose for which we were created; to serve our fellow human beings.
For thousands of years, men have dominated the Earth though that dominance is only possible because it is allowed by the Creator. Watching over the children of Adam and Eve is another of God's Creation whose mission is to make sure Man survives to fulfill God's ultimate plan to save Man from himself. Events spiral ever faster toward the ultimate battle that will end one world and flow into another. In the midst of the events, Alex Stone, retired National Security Advisor and professor, and veteran of many earlier crises, watches as the world spins toward Armageddon. Join him in the final chapter of the world we live in.
What if man discovered that he is not alone in the universe, but that there are no aliens? What if when Adam and Eve chose poorly in the Garden and chose to sin, God decided to provide redemption but also started over? Men in any century seem bent on destroying one another and as weapons get more powerful their chances of success grow exponentially greater. Earth needs someone to step in and correct things when international tensions get out of hand. Earth needs an Eden to survive until the end of time as God planned it. Now an Israeli city lies in ruin from terrorist attack with far reaching religious and political impact. Travel the road of danger and political intrigue with Alex Stone, National Security Adviser to the President of the United Sates as he tries to help the world survive yet another trip to the precipice of destruction
"Formally established as a town in 1749, Alexandria, Virginia grew from a small tobacco trading post into the economic, socio-political and ecclesiastical epicenter of Northern Virginia. Its population nearly doubled from 2,700 inhabitants in 1790 to 4,900 souls in 1800. Its harbor was filled with brigs, schooners and ships of the line which traversed the high seas and engaged in international and coastwise trade. The streets were lined with substantial brick houses and the 'sound of the hammer and trowel were at work every where...' In 1796, a visitor, the Duc de La Rouce Foucauld commented that: 'Alexandria is beyond all comparison the handsomest town in Virginia - indeed is among the finest in the United States.' "Besides its commercial and maritime importance, Alexandria was a center of early church activity. Scottish merchants and factors brought with them the Presbyterian faith and a meeting house was erected on South Fairfax street in 1772. The Protestant Episcopal Church functioned as the official state church of Virginia until it was disestablished in 1784. As early as the mid-1760's the Episcopalians had erected a 'Chapel of Ease' near Princess and Royal streets. The early church then fell into a state of disrepair and James Parsons and John Carlyle were hired by the vestry to construct a substantial new one at the head of Cameron street. Finished in 1773, Christ Church continues to serve the parish and the Alexandria community." This book contains a transcribed list of Minister Returns (1801-1853) and Marriage Bonds (1801-1852). Entries for both sections are arranged alphabetically by the groom's surname. Minister Return entries include the full names of groom and bride, the date and the minister who performed the ceremony.
