A Heart Promptly Offered: The Revolutionary Leadership of John Calvin (Leadership in Action) (Leadership in Action)
Few people today realize the extent to which John Calvin, the great Genevan Reformer, and his work have shaped modern culture Few know it was Calvin who pioneered the effort to decentralize government by calling for checks and balances againt the rule of the few or the king. Equally unknown are his efforts to establish a productive social safety net for immigrants, create education models that were far ahead of his time, and instill a sense of self-worth in all citizens regardless of their occupations or class. He was also known for his support of free markets, the rise of private enterprise, the importance of publishing, and his advancement of knowledge beyond its medieval confines. The result of his work was an explosion of culture and liberty, all aspects of his life that have been increasingly overlooked since he lived in the sixteenth century. A Heart Promptly Offered presents Calvin's life and his thinking in the context of his role as a leader in Geneva and what it suggests for those who would lead in our time. In addition to glimpses into Calvin's personal life, it also includes insights into his friendships, his struggles, and his literary interests. By means of carefully selected excerpts from his writings—letters, commentaries, sermons, and his Institutes—it presents his groundbreaking political theory, which is an unparalleled contribution to human freedom everywhere..

History: Fiction or Science? Dating methods as offered by mathematical statistics. Eclipses and zodiacs. Chronology Vol.I
History: Fiction or Science? is the most explosive tractate on history ever written - however, every theory it contains, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by solid scientific data. The book is well-illustrated, contains over 446 graphs and illustrations, copies of ancient manuscripts, and countless facts attesting to the falsity of the chronology used nowadays, which never cease to amaze the reader. Eminent mathematician proves that: Jesus Christ was born in 1153 and crucified in 1186 The Old Testament refers to mediaeval events. Apocalypse was written after 1486. Does this sound uncanny? This version of events is substantiated by hard facts and logic - validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources - to a greater extent than everything you may have read and heard about history before. The dominating historical discourse in its current state was essentially crafted in the XVI century from a rather contradictory jumble of sources such as innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts whose originals had vanished in the Dark Ages and the allegedly irrefutable proof offered by late mediaeval astronomers, resting upon the power of ecclesial authorities. Nearly all of its components are blatantly untrue! For some of us, it shall possibly be quite disturbing to see the magnificent edifice of classical history to turn into an ominous simulacrum brooding over the snake pit of mediaeval politics. Twice so, in fact: the first seeing the legendary millenarian dust on the ancient marble turn into a mere layer of dirt - one that meticulous unprejudiced research can eventually remove. The second, and greater, attack of unease comes with the awareness of just how many areas of human knowledge still trust the three elephants of the consensual chronology to support them. Nothing can remedy that except for an individual chronological revolution happening in the minds of a large enough number of people..
