Bible Research

The Researcher's Bible provides a short introduction to the major concepts and approaches used in the social sciences, especially in sociology, anthropology, leisure, recreation, and tourism. It is an ideal supplement to a more detailed text on research methods and a guide to choose which research methods to use in a study. It also provides an explanation of different options for company owners and managers of organizations, who might want to do research or hire a research company to conduct a study for them.

Why do three Gospels tell the same story—yet speak with such distinct voices? For centuries, scholars, pastors, and Bible readers alike have wrestled with the mystery of the Synoptic Gospels. How can Matthew, Mark, and Luke echo each other so closely and yet diverge so profoundly in theology, style, and emphasis? This book confronts that enigma with academic rigor and spiritual depth—offering a guide not just to understanding the Gospels, but to seeing the life of Jesus through three inspired lenses. Behind the familiar verses lies a complex literary and theological tapestry. In The ...

I often get members at the gyms I have worked at asking: "what exercises are best for developing the glutes?" "how often they need to squat to develop their glutes" "should they be using glute resistance bands when they perform squats" "will performing certain exercises produce a better result." I even get asked recommendations about machinery and which glute trainer is most effective. These questions are all understandable because there are countless opinions about the best exercises and training styles, the varying opinions can then often lead to overall confusion. This book looks at the ...

Too often it’s all lecterns and lectures—ideas without ignition, doctrines without demonstration.

This book is not a religious/spiritual adventure but one of facts. The shroud of Turin exists as a photographic negative and dates back from an era (around 2,000 years) - prior to the invention of the camera. The components of the cloth have been newly examined under “EXTREME SCIENTIFIC SCRUTINY” using the latest technological equipment by groups of scientists, among them the scientists involved in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
