Book Description

¡Aprende a caminar en el poder de la fe violenta! Párate firme y defiéndete con el arma más poderosa: la fe. Judy Jacobs comparte un mensaje que te llevará a un lugar de "fe violenta" en El, un lugar que está más allá de lo imaginario y fuera de los límites de la religión y tradición. Descubre cómo obtener una fe igual a la de Moisés, Jacob, Josué y Caleb, personajes que simplemente no desistían de lo que Dios tenía para ellos ni se conformaban con menos. Los principios bíbicos de estel ibro revelan: - Por qué las "soluciones a la ligera" no corresponden adecuadamente a las situaciones difíciles - El significado de "pelear la buena batalla de la fe" - Los tres pasos de "la fe violenta" - Cómo investirse de poder al entender claramente el versículo de Mateo 11:12 - La autoridad que tú tienes en cristo para arrebatar y recuperar lo que por derecho te pertenece Dios quiere hacer lo inconcebible, lo innegable y lo increible a través de ti. ¿Te atreves a creerle a El con una fe violenta?




A systematic revision of Baconia Lewis (Coleoptera, Histeridae, Exosternini)


Book Description

This monograph presents a comprehensive taxonomic revision of the genus Baconia Lewis (Histeridae: Histerinae: Exosternini). Previously, Baconia contained 27 species. We move four species into Baconia from other genera, and describe 85 species as new, bringing the total to 116 species. Identification keys are presented to allow identification of all the species, and most species are illustrated by color photographs and drawings of diagnostic characteristics. The species mainly occur in the Neotropical region. But several species are known from the U.S., and there are even species occurring in eastern and southeastern Asia. Many of the species of Baconia exhibit brilliant metallic coloration, a feature of as yet unknown significance. Many are also strongly flat-tened, an adaptation for a life under the bark of dead trees, where they are believed mainly to prey on bark beetles and their larvae.

He urges the reader to view each Bible promise as a check written by God, which can be cashed by personally endorsing it and receiving the gift it represents!




Ecstatic Encounters


Book Description

"Reality does not comply with our narrations of it. And that is most certainly the case with the narrations produced in academia. An anthropologist in Bahia, Brazil, fears to become possessed by the spirits he had come to study; falls madly in love withan 'informant'; finds himself baffled by the sayings of a clairvoyant; and has to come to grips with the murder of one of his best friends. Unsettling events that do not belong to the orderly world of scientific research, yet leave their imprint on the way the anthropologist comes to understand the world. REflecting on his long research experience with the spirit possession cult Candomblâe, the author shows, in a probing manner, how definitions of reality always require the exclusion of certain perceptions, experiences and insights. And yet, this 'rest-of-what-is' turns out to be an inexhaustible source of amazement, seduction and renewal." --P [4] of cover.

The Cerrados of Brazil


Book Description

The massive grasslands of Brazil -- known as the cerrados -- which cover roughly a quarter of its land surface and are among the most threatened regions in South America, have received little media attention. This book brings together leading researchers on the area to produce the first detailed account in English of the natural history and ecology of the cerrado/savanna ecosystem. Given their extent and threatened status, the richness of their flora and fauna, and the lack of familiarity with their unique ecology at the international level, the cerrados are badly in need of this important and timely work.
