For years, international apologist Josh McDowell has been alert to the challenge of Islam―and how Muslims’ objections to Christianity can raise deep doubts in believers’ minds. His recent on-the-ground research with Muslims in the Middle East has crystallized into this practical resource focusing on Jesus and the gospel. Aided by Islam expert Jim Walker, McDowell lays out the evidence on the crucial issues:
<ul>
<li>What kind of prophet was Jesus? Was he the Messiah?</li>
<li>“Son of God”? “Son of Man”? What’s that about?</li>
<li>How are God and Jesus related? Can they both be God?</li>
<li>The gospel―how could God dishonor his Son by letting him die horribly? What good did his death do?</li>
<li>Aren’t the Bible’s accounts of Jesus corrupt?</li>
</ul>
With all this, as well as backgrounder appendixes on the basics, believers will have authoritative evidence from Scripture and history to intelligently deal with Muslims’ questions about and challenges to Christianity.

Local rail-borne transit in Los Angeles began with horsecars in 1874, evolving with cable-powered and later electric-powered passenger vehicles. “Yellow Cars” describes the principal local transit system in and around Los Angeles in the first half of the 20th century. The canary-colored local streetcars formed the inner-neighborhood lines between a vast rail network of main lines known as the “interurban” system, primarily the Pacific Electric Railway “Red Cars,” which spiderwebbed throughout Los Angeles County and into Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties. Rail tycoon Henry Edwards Huntington consolidated several independent lines into this great interurban empire. He sold it in 1910 to the Southern Pacific Railroad, keeping the Los Angeles Railway Yellow Cars. These evocative photographs illustrate travel during decades of change, progress, economic setbacks, war, and postwar retrenchment, when streetcar service was taken over by bus lines.

Tempus

This is the story of a devout faith community, made up of people you'd rarely see sitting in your sanctuary on any Sunday, that meets in an old warehouse (and former basement tattoo shop) on the wrong side of the tracks - founded by a self-proclaimed rule-breaking team of ""a recovering evangelical"" and ""a theological mutt."" Dirty Word is an honest and raw theological story of mission and ministry with people who are turned off by the practices and appearances of traditional church. Follow Walker's story and expect to find God in the most unexpected places. It's an uncensored look at an unapologetic way of being the church by getting out of the pews and into the streets. ""Jesus gets in the grime and muck of life,"" writes Walker. ""If we follow Christ (the Sufferer), we too are going to have to get dirty. Really dirty. All the time. Not just on the special, once-a-year mission trip to Central America, where we get to eat exotic food and touch a lizard."" God's good news is as subversive and counter-cultural today as it was in Jesus' time. Perhaps even more so as some characterizations of American Christianity have mainstreamed into vanilla-bland, glazed smiles of the ""well-dressed blessed."" It's a mixed message. What Walker saw on the streets, what he read in the Bible and what he saw heavily promoted as the Christian lifestyle in bookstores didn't match. So he decided to find another way. He reached out to the hardcore South Pittsburgh streets, gathering outcasts who wanted to live in a new way but couldn't find a place where they fit. The worshiping body they built together - Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community - is a place of loving honesty, tender care, deep hurt and great joy. Being a Christian doesn't mean you get to have it all as you pick up the cross and follow Jesus. It's a life of surrender and sacrifice, which means sometimes you might not be comfortable and happy. And, yet, you might find the most precious gift of all through your own brokenness.

Each chapter covers a new aspect of traveling and the information helps prepare the reader to design their travel in a dog-friendly manner. “As we travel across the country, I often notice other dog owners struggling with their dogs”, Jim Walker explains, “from this came the idea of writing a book that would help with common behavior issues and provide information that would make traveling with dogs easier. When the dog's needs are met, pet owners experience a balanced dog that is easy to travel with."

Of the rail lines created at the turn of the 20th century, in order to build interurban links through Southern California communities around metropolitan Los Angeles, the Pacific Electric grew to be the most prominent of all. The Pacific Electric Railway is synonymous with Henry Edwards Huntington, the capitalist with many decades of railroad experience, who formed the "P. E." and expanded it as principal owner for nearly its first decade. Huntington sold his PE holdings to the giant Southern Pacific Railroad in 1910, and the following year the SP absorbed nearly every electric line in the fourcounty area around Los Angeles in the "Great Merger" into a "new" Pacific Electric. Founded in 1901 and terminated in 1965, Pacific Electric was known as the "World's Great Interurban."
