So many today practice and train in a martial art as a self defence system as a protection in such a violent world. But what do the Biblical scriptures tell us about the training in such systems today? This is a booklet which has been written after much personal contemplation and study, and it is of my opinion that one's Scriptural based viewpoint is entirely based on interpretation and conscience. It is for that reason that the layout of this booklet investigating this question has been constructed as a consolidation of relevant verses so that the scriptures speak for themselves with very little commentary which could seem biased.

Ecclesiastes is a book within the Biblical Canon which contains the inspired writings of King Solomon, Son of David. Written before 1000BC. This short booklet is a literal study utilising various Bible translations in an attempt to acquire "bombproof" undeniable doctrines for the true way in following the one true God of the Bible "YHWH" Yahweh/Jehovah].

The opening and closing chapters go off like a shock and awe campaign, and nothing in between gives readers enough time to even catch their breath. The cumulative effect of Chain Reaction is overwhelming in the sheer impact of the powerful prose and the slick, commercial, though uniquely original plot and style.David Alexander is one of those rare authors who can write fiction that has the power to relentlessly carry the reader onward, and who can blend a wit and humor as sharp and cutting as a samurai sword and combine it with in-depth analysis and the deft touch of a master technician. David Alexander's superb thriller Chain Reaction is more than a great read, it's an awesome experience that is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats, addictive adventure writing at its boldest and brightest -- the stuff from which great thrillers are made.The dark narrative tapestry of Chain Reaction also places this thriller squarely amid the select ranks of classic hardboiled fiction. This is a contemporary thriller, though, and one in which Alexander manages to mix successfully an intricate plot with exotic locales, a considerable amount of action, and solid characters. Chain reaction is a thriller fan's dream; exciting, involving, thought-provoking. All in all, a first-class tale of intrigue by one of the top authors in the field.

This is a short article of reference scriptures utilizing a non-denominational Christian viewpoint whilst studying the Holy Scriptures. I began this study many years ago after discovering very little solace within any of the Christian denominations that exist in the world today. I hold no official qualification in theology, but have spent many years trying to find the truth from the Bible. The Bible was written for all; therefore can be understood by all. Instead of offering an opinion on the subjects listed, I have instead attempted to answer the questions I found to be the most popular utilizing the scriptures alone without any preconceived denominational viewpoint. No preconceived denominational commentary allows the scriptures to speak for themselves. I have however listed denominational viewpoints with supporting scriptures simply for study reference. Contents: - A poem to YHWH. - Who is God? - Who is Jesus Christ of Nazareth? - Can one fully understand God? - For what purpose did Jesus die? - What is the law of God? - Human nature, & where it all went wrong. - Who is Satan? - Why does God allow evil to exist upon earth? - What is the Will of the Father? - Salvation & being Born Again from Above. - Faith; a Gift from God. - How does one know if they are truly saved? - Must one go {or be a member} of a "church" building to be saved? - Which Denomination though is the correct one? - Is the Bible alone sufficient for knowledge upon salvation? - The standard of God's forgiveness. - God; He ordains all events. - Praying. - What is the Lord's Supper? - What is Baptism? - Death. - The future New Earth. - The End Times. - Judgement Day. - Apocatastasis {the reconciliation of all things}. - The True Christian life summary & common objections.

TERRORISM, TREASON AND GLOBAL ORGANIZED CRIME EQUAL UNPARALLELED EXCITEMENT Threatcon Delta: Assault on the Pentagon tells the story of how terrorism, treason and global organized crime converge to place the most potent symbol of American military power under the control of a determined and ruthless group of heavily armed and extremely dangerous men who can't be stopped, yet who must be stopped.This global superthriller is based on author David Alexander's extensive and detailed research into the history of the Pentagon, combined with first-hand knowledge of the Pentagon's most closely held secrets by this veteran defense insider, all of which has been artfully woven into a masterpiece of high-concept suspense fiction.In fact, the combined impact of accuracy and authenticity blended with superb storytelling, may find some readers asking themselves if perhaps some parts of the story shouldn't have been made public, for fear that terrorists or global criminals might some day use it as the basis for a successful plan of attack.Yet the assault on the Pentagon portrayed in the book is no standard terrorist martyrdom mission either. Those who've taken over the headquarters of the United States military have an exit strategy that has been brilliantly devised to shuttle them to safety and provide for the enjoyment of their ill-gotten profits -- a scam on a global scale that promises to net the Pentagon's hijackers a considerable fortune.By any standard, Threatcon Delta: Assault on the Pentagon is action thriller fiction at its boldest and best. It's one of the achievements that have earned David Alexander a secure place at the top of the list of the world's masters of the thriller game.
