Heaven Is a Playground 4th Edition Ed 4


Rick Telander, "Heaven Is a Playground: 4th Edition Ed 4"
English | ISBN: 1613213948 | 2013 | 272 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
Heaven Is a Playground was the first book on the uniquely American phenomenon of urban basketball. Rick Telander, a photojournalist and former high school basketball player, spent part of the summer of 1973 and all of the summer of 1974 in Brooklyn living the playground life with his subjects at Foster Park in Flatbush. He slept on the floor of a park regular’s apartment, observing, questioning, traveling, playing with, and eventually coaching a ragtag group of local teenagers whose hopes of better lives were often fanatically attached to the transcendent game itself. Telander introduces us to Fly Williams, a playground legend with incredible leaping ability and self-destructive tendencies that threatened to keep him earthbound. Another standout was Albert King, a fifteen-year-old phenom whose shy, quiet demeanor masked an otherworldly talent that eventually took him to the NBA. This edition also includes Telander’s perspectives on the arrival of an NBA team in Brooklyn.

From where―and what―does water come? How did it become the key to life in the universe? Water from Heaven presents a state-of-the-art portrait of the science of water, recounting how the oxygen needed to form H2O originated in the nuclear reactions in the interiors of stars, asking whether microcomets may be replenishing our world’s oceans, and explaining how the Moon and planets set ice-age rhythms by way of slight variations in Earth’s orbit and rotation. The book then takes the measure of water today in all its states, solid and gaseous as well as liquid.

Exploring Heaven in the Bible The Mansions Jesus is Making


Exploring Heaven in the Bible: The Mansions Jesus is Making by John Samuel Barnett
English | March 11, 2009 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B001V9LTEK | 88 pages | EPUB | 0.29 Mb
If the outline of Jesus can be traced in every book of God’s Word, and it is, then He is blazing brighter than the noonday sun in Revelation. No book of God’s Word more clearly shows all the Beauty of Jesus. From the very first verse, God declares that He is revealing (unveiling) Jesus for us, His servants, to the very last verses where God is inviting all who are thirsty to come to Jesus the Water of Life. Revelation overflows with our Lord Jesus. How are you doing in your daily time in the Word of God? Are you experiencing the wonders of Discovering Jesus? That is exactly what the Book of Revelation is all about. It is a tool, a guide and a road map into the very presence of God. It is a full color photo album of Jesus. It is a gripping action film taken from the vantage point of the control room of the Universe where God is monitoring the passing of time to the serene background music of heavenly worship.
