Summie, a charismatic seven year old girl living in Hoboken, New Jersey, learns very quickly that true friendships are defined by the words left unspoken that can be felt with the heart. The A in Autism Stands for Awesome is an uplifting story of two friends who embrace each other's differences and individuality. Summie and Monroe's first grade friendship evolves into an uplifting spiral of lessons learned. There seems to be no stopping the duo when it comes to the effect they have on each other. The two friends become closer than ever despite the fact one friend has autism which hinders his ability to communicate. Summie discovers that there’s a lot more to a person than a label, and true friendships blossom when one understands and the other is understood.

Designed for classroom use, this video offers a timely and cogent analysis of the November 1994 mid-term elections. Professionally produced and narrated, it combines a variety of charts, graphs, maps and other visuals with footage from original interviews featuring newly elected and outgoing members of Congress, e.g. Marjorie Margolies Mezvinsky (D-PA), who was defeated despite strong Presidential support. Two respected political scientists, Professor Peverill Squire of the University of Iowa, and Professor Stephen E. Frantzich of the U.S. Naval Academy, provide commentary and analysis. Both are Brown &amp; Benchmark authors. Changing of the Guard investigates the reasons for the unprecedented success of the Republican effort in 1994. It examines and evaluates the relative importance of factors such as the unpopularity of the incumbent President, the Contract with America, the large number of open seats, and redistricting. In addition, the concluding section asks whether the November 1994 contest was a "critical election," reflecting a permanent realignment of the electorate, and discusses its possible policy implication.

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)

The Progressiveness of Modern Christian Thought

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 Excerpt: ...of the nature of the Christ in statu humiliationis. The Christian theology of to-day, with its theism in which the reality of personality alike on the divine and the human side is recognised, stumbles not at the miracles of Jesus, those natural and necessary fruits of the incarnation of One who was truly Son of God, but holds that without them the records of such a Person should exhibit an "inexplicable chasm and inconsistency." Now, as never before, theology, grown more spiritual, feels that the unexplained miracle--the miracle of miracles--is the Person of Jesus Christ, beside Whose unparalleled personality the marvels of sense--those merely transient, emblematic, subordinate affairs which men call "miracles," but which in His case present phenomena so appropriate to His Person--are easy of explanation and acceptance. Signacular and subordinate though they be, theology holds them not of light account to-day, for it is not forgetful that they stand, as Christian thought should always have made them stand, related to the living reason with which law is vitalised, and that they have given to the generations lessons in judgment and mercy, the law, in fact, of Christian beneficence, and unmeasured inspiration to practical Christian charity. The names of Rothe, Dorner, Harris, and G. P. Fisher may suffice as instances from among many Christian theologians whose handling of miracles reveals the wise but signal advances in the theological treatment of this subject. There has been a like advance in modern theology in respect of the evidence of Prophecy as an argument of independent value, the old presentation no longer having relevancy to the mind of the age. A truer setting has been found for miracle, and for that of which it is the true corre...

“Belief in its higher forms, we are told, is a movement of our being so central and fundamental that its issue is life. It influences activity in every sphere of individual being. It is a psychology and not a rhetoric which claims for faith or living belief every Marathon, every Thermopylae, which holds Socrates, Columbus, Washington as having been inspired and sustained by faith, which regards the creative faculty of genius as finding its very life so much in belief that without this, there would be no Homer, Dante, etc.” —Journal of Religious Psychology, Volume 4
