This book represents a comprehensive coverage of the doctrine of sovereign immunity; one chapter provides a summary of the sovereign immunity laws in all US states.  The book provides the reader with a knowledge and understanding of the sovereign immunity doctrine but also provides the reader with an awareness and understanding of the important legal problems and road blocks that confront attorneys who represent victims of improvident government actions. One chapter discusses the immunity of foreign States regarding claims filed against foreign governments in United States courts and when and how a claim can be brought successfully against a foreign State in a court in the United States for violations, among others, of international law. The book is an invaluable reference work for attorneys who may represent victims of governmental misconduct; attorneys should read this book in advance to filing a lawsuit against the government in any context.

In His Footsteps

From the lengthy research and pen of two lawyers, a judge and a former law professor, this book, In His Footsteps: The Early Followers of Jesus, is a guide to understanding the early Christian movement through a study of the lives and ministries of the first believers, most of whom had met with the risen Jesus and thus knew, without doubt, that Jesus was the Christ and Savior of the world. The book cites accounts from Eusebius, a third-century Greek Christian historian, who also referenced testimony from first-century Christians about the almost unbelievable courage of the early followers of Jesus, who willingly and fearlessly, despite tremendous persecution and sufferings, brought to an otherwise lost world an assurance of life eternal for all believers. The book also refers to the fulfillment of many of the biblical prophecies, the principal ones being the restoration of the nation of Israel and the return of many Jewish people to their homeland. This book is an indispensable resource for all persons, as the tremendous sacrifices of the first believers should never be forgotten.
