Free Download The Christ of Wisdom: A Redemptive-Historical Exploration of the Wisdom Books of the Old Testament By O. Palmer Robertson
2017 | 432 Pages | ISBN: 1629952915 | EPUB | 1 MB
How do we walk in the way of wisdom? How should we respond to suffering? How can we cope with life's frustrations and sorrows? How ought we to weep? How ought we to love?The answers can be found in the great "how-to" books of Scripture—the Old Testament's wisdom literature—but unfortunately, these books are frequently overlooked in biblical theology, despite their immense significance for God's people. O. Palmer Robertson introduces the concept of biblical wisdom before providing a redemptive-historical analysis of Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, and Lamentations. These neglected books offer the contemporary reader inspired insight (and a solid dose of godly realism) into every major realm of human existence: from love and intimacy to grief and calamity.

Free Download Historical Sociology of State Formation in the Horn of Africa: Genesis, Trajectories, Processes, Routes and Consequences by Redie Bereketeab
English | PDF | 2023 | 257 Pages | ISBN : 3031241614 | 3.9 MB
This book analyses the historical sociology of state formation in the Horn of Africa. It examines the genesis, trajectories, processes, routes and consequences of the evolution of state formation. Three analytical and explanatory models explain the process of state formation in the HOA: proto-state, colonial and national liberation. The models, heuristically and innovatively, provide understanding, interpretation and analysis of state formation. While the proto-state model explicates an indigenous historical process of state formation, the colonial model refers to an externally designed and imposed process of state formation. The national liberation model concern state formation conducted under liberation movement and ideology. The distinct significance of these models is that collectively they generate sufficient analysis of state formation. They are also unique in that they have never been employed as aggregate analytical and explicative instruments to address the predicament of state formation in the Horn of Africa.

Free Download Against All Odds: Ten Historical Figures Who Overcome Incredible Adversity, From William the Bastard to Winston Churchill by Michael Rank
English | January 18, 2017 | ISBN: 154264027X | 260 pages | EPUB | 0.73 Mb
From the #1 bestselling author of "Travelers and Explorers That Pushed the Boundaries of the Known World" comes an exciting new book on historical figures that overcame unimaginable adversity and the inspirational stories they have left behind for us. Whether it is household names like John Rockefeller (who became the world's first billionaire despite growing up in a log cabin with a bigamist father), Winston Churchill (a has-been politician with a stutter who became England's salvation in World War Two), William the Conqueror (the bastard child of a peasant who conquered England in 1066) or lesser-known people like James Holman (a nineteenth-century explorer who travelled a distance as far as the earth to the moon despite being completely blind), each of these people achieved greatness despite the universe putting every obstacle in their way. This book looks at 10 people throughout history who rose to greatness against all odds. Some had to overcome physical challenges, such as Demosthenes, an orphaned boy in ancient Greece with a crippling speech impediment who became the greatest orator of his age. Others overcame mental challenges, such as Abraham Lincoln, whose depression was so great that in his 20s Lincoln's friends thought he would claim his own life....and continued to think so even after he became president. Still others overcame gender barriers, such as Joan of Arc, who engineered France's victory against England in the Hundred Years War despite no military experience, no powerful friends, and no ability to read. Whatever the challenges these incredible people faced, their stories still inspire us today to stop making excuses and discover how much we can really accomplish when we rise up against life's challenges.
