The world has reached a stage in which value systems are trampled underfoot or supplanted by moral relativism. At best we are guided by the law rather than our consciences. Therefore, evil practices which escape the law are condoned. Almost everything is subtly covered in deception, and those skillful in deception win the race. The only way by which humanity can escape deception and stop killing each other and preserve the universe is to accept salvation in Jesus Christ and live by biblical disposition. Elder Ing. Prof. Amoakoh Gyasi-Agyei digs deep into how the three parts of humanityspirit, soul and bodycan be redisposed to the original masterpiece of God to bring the world back to decorum. He uses the Holy Bible to answer many human dilemmas caused by rebellion against God, including: how to reach the supreme God; the origin of deception and its antidote; predestination; sexuality; humans as instruments of praiseworthy acts versus the instrument of evil; heaven and hell; the origin and eternal destina-tion of the human spirit, soul and body; blessings associated with lifestyle of biblical disposition versus curses with worldliness; and the origin and the fate of the current universe. This book is a must-read by everybody.

"You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." --Acts 1:8, nkjv You don't have to be a globe-trotting evangelist to tell others about Jesus. We all have neighbors who need Him. That's why Jesus told His disciples to make Jerusalem--their own neighborhood--the starting point for spreading His gospel. A great way to do that is with visitation: by just dropping by to visit or get to know your neighbors. Dr. Amoakoh Gyasi-Agyei digs deep into this unique topic, showing why visitation is an effective evangelism tool and a foolproof demonstration of God's love. He shows you how to explore God's Word with your neighbors, disciple new believers, and motivate others to join you in the adventure of neighborhood evangelism. His detailed guidebook offers practical instruction that makes it an excellent resource you will want to have with you when you're witnessing.

The destruction of wildlife habitats ... organized crime ... AIDS ... illiteracy ... acid rain -- these are among the 130,000 topics documented and discussed in the new edition of the Encyclopedia. But its truly unique goal is to present this complex set of issues in ways that facilitate an organized response. To this end, the book also focuses on the complex relationship between problems and society's own ideological relationship with these problems. How do human priorities and perceptions aggravate or enable problems? What are the established and alternative responses? The Encyclopedia contains over 158,000 cross-references between entries, an extensive 91,000 practical key term index, bibliographies, and full cross-referencing to the Yearbook of International Organizations. For anyone concerned with the world community, here are the means to explore and participate in today's most crucial endeavors. Volume 2, Human Potential: Transformation and Values, contains 7,700 entries reflecting a spectrum of problem-solving approaches based on such human development issues as self-learning, creativity, and modes of awareness. The volume also focuses on specific religious beliefs, value systems, and thought patterns.

This encyclopedia includes a two-volume index, a 12-volume Micropaedia (Ready reference), a 17-volume Macropaedia (Knowledge in depth), and the Propaedia.
