The goal of this book is to get people to read the Bible. Those who know the Word of God can know the will of God and walk in the way of Jesus. This is the great need of our day. The reading plan for each day listed at the top corner of each page is the “M’Cheyne Reading Plan” developed by Robert Murry M’Cheyne (1813-1843). He was twenty-nine, when he went to be with the Lord. He left behind a great legacy of faith and a wonderful tool for reading the Bible. This plan allows for a person to read the Psalms and New Testament twice a year and the Old Testament once a year. While reading all four chapters is preferred, those reading this devotion can limit themselves to reading one chapter a day. The underlined chapter is the one being written about. If a choice must be made between reading the devotion or the chapter of the Bible, please read the Bible. The intent of the book is to help readers gain an overall understanding of the Bible by using a central theme to guide. The theme of the book is hope. Hope is the confident realization that good is occurring and the confident expectation that good is going to come. That is the simple definition being used throughout this volume.

<p>Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. - John 14:27Finding peace in the midst of all of the chaos may seem impossible, but nothing is impossible with God! God can do what we cannot. He can give peace in spite of outward circumstances. Peace is the personal experience of knowing that all is well with your soul - no matter what. As you read the Bible, you will discover that you have every reason to be at peace and no reason at all to be anxious! A Year of Peace is a daily guide through God's Word that will provide encouragement and biblical instruction. It is more than a devotional, but is not as complicated as a Bible study. It is daily inspiration to help you receive the Lord's peace.</p>

Year of Peace: A Daily Devotional

Aneko Press

It's the hit HBO show from the 21st century, True Detective, that has brought Robert W. Chambers' 1895 book of "weird" stories back into the mainstream public eye for the first time in 120 years; but those in the know have been aware of The King in Yellow this entire time, with its Wikipedia page listing such modern notables as H.P. Lovecraft, Raymond Chandler, and Blue Oyster Cult as fans who have self-professed this book as a major influence. And why shouldn't they? An inauspicious volume from an artist just starting his career, who up to then had been a visual painter who suddenly switched mediums without any given explanation, there wasn't much of a reason to expect great things from this mid-list story collection; but it turned out to be one of the very first volumes to help define what horror became in the modern era, the fabled "bridge between Edgar Allen Poe and Stephen King" that's been cited since in so many term papers on the subject. A meta "stories about stories about stories" project that was also one of the first tales of existential dread ever published (the major force driving Lovecraft's "Cthulhu" mythology as well), and with the kind of elaborate alt-history world-building usually only seen in space operas, this is truly a 20th-century text that magically first appeared in the 19th, and it's no surprise that it still has the power to legitimately creep people out well into the 21st. Come enter the dark world of Carcosa, where the yellow king rules over the black stars in a flat circle of time, and see why these powerful tales of madness and the spiritual abyss still hold our fascination more than a century later. (The first in the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography's new "CCLaP Victoriana" series, this edition also features an exclusive new scholarly introduction by executive director Jason Pettus.)
