Ten Commandments Twice Removed
A backlash of attention to the Ten Commandments--unleashed by recent U.S. court rulings--rallied Christians in defense of its public display Amid the cresendo of concern, a lone voice vies for attention, "If you love Me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15). Is our defense of the Ten Commandments triggered simply by a sentimental interest of Christian culture? Is it posssible the Church stands before God as guilty as our government for discarding the Decalogue? With unflinching conviction, the authors join their voices with great Christian leaders like Billy Graham, D. L. Moody, John Wesley, and Charles Spurgeon, to trumpet the truth-- God never revoked His Ten Commandments! This book answers critical questions with compelling clarity and Bible evidence. Did the Ten Commandment exist before Mt. Sinae? Were they nailed to the cross? How do we de-mystify Paul's writings about the Law? Does man have authority to change God's law?.

Prisoners Once Removed: The Impact of Incarceration and Reentry on Children, Families, and Communities
Imprisonment casts a long shadow in the United States. Currently, 1.4 million individuals are behind bars in America’s state and federal prisons. For every person who goes to prison, there is a family and community left behind. Despite the huge number of affected families and children, there is little research on the impact of incarceration on American family life. In Prisoners Once Removed, the authors explore this important issue—from the psychological impact of imprisonment on prisoners and the difficulty of reentering free society to the challenges faced by communities who must integrate the prisoners once they return. They look at family functioning during a period of imprisonment, and how families are affected by the return of an incarcerated parent. Finally, they evaluate the current system and suggest ways to improve interaction between the corrections and health and human services to better serve the growing population of children, families, and communities. This book is vital reading for anyone who is concerned about foster care, child development, strengthening families, and post-prison adjustment..

Wireless Imagination: Sound, Radio, and the Avant-Garde
Wireless Imagination addresses perhaps the most conspicuous silence in contemporary theory and art criticism, the silence that surrounds the polyphonous histories of audio art. Composed of both original essays and several newly translated documents, this book provides a close audition to some of the most telling and soundful moments in the "deaf century," conceived and performed by such artists as Raymond Roussel, Antonin Artaud, Marcel Duchamp, Andre Breton, John Cage, Hugo Ball, Kurt Weill, and William Burroughs..

Perfect, Once Removed: When Baseball Was All the World to Me
“Disguised as a nostalgic, coming-of-age baseball memoir, this is a sly, spare meditation on the perils of childhood, the power of celebrity, the vagaries of human kindness, and how even tenuous family bonds can have a surprisingly steely impact.”—Joe Pilla, Paperbacks Plus In pitch-perfect prose, and with a gift for conveying the fears and dreams of a young boy’s life, Phil Hoose recalls the magical year of 1956, when his cousin, Don Larsen, pitched a perfect game in the World Series, and the game of baseball helped him take root in a tough new town. Perfect, Once Removed is a wondrous ode to the glory of baseball and to growing up. .

Neil Finn--Once Removed

Once Removed
The scene is Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; the year is 1997 -- a tumultuous and traumatic period, a minor blip on the radar of Malaysia's progress towards becoming a fully developed nation depending on what you read and who you believe. Looking for love and enlightenment in all the wrong places, Graham Wallace (quantity surveyor, part-time footballer, full-time fibber, some-time lover, no-time fighter) gets used and abused, flattered and deceived, jostled and jilted, a wave of self-delusion carrying him through the seas of adventure that comprise his life. Once Removed is funny; shocking; sexy; provocative and evocative, and will have the reader looking at expatriates and Malaysians in a completely different light ... or maybe not..

Twice Removed: Poems
Poems, said Robert Lowell, should be events, not records of events. The poems of Twice Removed are events, set in the "bright between," that place between short days and long shadows, between past and future, between the inviolate self and the public person. In this third collection, Angel writes the arias of our subtext, provoking in the reader the recognition of longings just beyond reach of articulation. And though his poems are addressed to complexity, the language is not obscure: Angel's intense, visionary lyricism arrives in a seamless weave of elegance and streetwise savvy, the cadences somehow hypnotic and urgent at once. This is a poet with the audacity to push the very limits of the American idiom in order to say things that could not previously be said, using sounds not previously heard. Ralph Angel stands as an American original, and Twice Removed is a book that will expand his already large and passionate audience of readers. Marketing for Twice Removed

The Antichrist Agenda: The Ten Commandments Twice Removed
The powers of an unseen world are promoting an agenda to vanquish God's authority, and veil Bible truths about end-time events. What part do the Ten Commandments play in the anti-christ agenda? Why is the spotlight suddenly spinning back to the Decalogue? As we approach the closing trials of earth's history, the Ten Commandments loom large on the horizon of the immediate future. This compelling book will move you beyond prophetic theory and popular fiction - back to the Bible, where all answers are provided. The authors present a careful study and faithful interpretation of prophecy that agrees with the early Christian Church fathers. Drawing on the Bible only, they identify the antichrist power and the agenda that has succeeded in pointing the finger of prophecy away from the real mark of the beast. So, too, is the truth of Christ's Second Coming unveiled from Scripture. This book will help every Christian experience the inner peace of Christ - in assurance of His truth - as they face the forces of evil in earth's final battle..
