Excerpt: The Children of God (COG), later known as the Family of Love, the Family, and now The Family International (TFI), is a new religious movement, referred to as a cult, started in 1968 in Huntington Beach, California, United States. It was an offshoot of the Jesus movement of the late 1960s, with many of its early converts drawn from the hippie movement. The Children of God was among the movements prompting the cult controversy of the 1970s and 1980s in the United States and Europe and triggered the first organized anticult group FREECOG. As TFI grew and expanded around the world, so did its message of salvation, apocalypticism, and spiritual "revolution" against the outside world, which the members called "the System", as well as resultant controversy. In 1974, it began a method of evangelism called Flirty Fishing, using sex to show God's love and win converts. It was also a means of raising money, as many of the women worked as prostitutes. Flirty fishing has been compared to religious prostitution. The practice was discontinued in 1987. TFI's founder and prophetic leader, David Berg, who was first called "Moses David" in the Texas press, communicated with his followers via Mo Letters-letters of instruction and counsel on a myriad of spiritual and practical subjects-until his death in late 1994. After his death, his widow Karen Zerby became the leader of TFI. The group's liberal sexuality and its publication and distribution of writings, photographs, and videos advocating and docume...http://booksllc.net/?id=7602 ... Read more

Members of the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church (C&MA) in Canada debated, for nearly twenty years, whether or not it was appropriate for women to be Elders in the church. Through interviews and archival research, this study examines why members of the C&MA could not agree on this issue and argues that the lack of resolution throughout the debates is the result of a variety of interconnected factors. ...

Excerpt: Calgary, Alberta (Private) Stephen Joseph Harper, PC, MP (born April 30, 1959) is the 22nd and current Prime Minister of Canada, and leader of the Conservative Party. Harper became Prime Minister after his party won a minority government in the 2006 federal election. He is the first Prime Minister from the newly reconstituted Conservative Party, following a merger of the Progressive Conservative and Canadian Alliance parties. Harper has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for the riding of Calgary Southwest in Alberta since 2002. Earlier, from 1993 to 1997, he was the MP for Calgary West. He was one of the founding members of the Reform Party, but ended his first stint as an MP to join, and shortly thereafter head, the National Citizens Coalition. In 2002, he succeeded Stockwell Day as leader of the Canadian Alliance (the successor to the Reform Party) and returned to Parliament as Leader of the Opposition. In 2003, he reached an agreement with Progressive Conservative leader Peter MacKay for the merger of their two parties to form the Conservative Party of Canada. He was elected as the party's first non-interim leader in March 2004. Harper's Conservative Party won a stronger minority in the October 2008 federal election, showing a small increase in the percentage of the popular vote (but a small decrease in the actual popular vote) and increased representation in the Canadian House of Commons with 143 of 308 seats. Harper was born in Toronto, the fi...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=241547 ... Read more

Thorough Yet Very Readable
This book is a detailed history of the Ridgeway Alliance Church in White Plains, New York (originally the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church of White Plains). At first glance, that might not sound very interesting yet the author has written a book which is easily readable and genuinely interesting -- a good read! What comes through plainly is how God has used Ridgeway to share the Gospel with and change people's lives for the better. Also covered is the active participation of the church and its members not only locally but in missions around the world. This book includes fascinating information that may be surprising to long-time members as well as those attending for the first time. It will appeal not only to current and former members, but to those interested in church history, the C & MA denomination and Christians who want to read how God can use a congregation to reach out with the love of Jesus Christ to their community and beyond. Though the history covers 1907 through 2007, the church is alive and well and continues to be used by God to minister to people of all ages and backgrounds. ... Read more
