The article you are about to read is my overwhelming desire to express my thoughts on the subject of controlled gamblers vs. the compulsive gamblers. Gambling appears to be providing a very lucrative source of income for the United States and other states besides Nevada and New Jersey. Gambling was introduced to Atlantic City back in the later part of the nineteen seventies. In addition, there is world wide gambling that is enjoyed by vacationers or via the internet (extremely addictive). Several gamblers can control their gambling and can stop. However, there are those gamblers who “cannot” control their desire to gamble and become “Compulsive Gamblers.”

(John 12:24 NIV) Until we come to the point that it is no longer our will but God's will being done in and through us, He will remain a stranger within. Jesus knew His purpose; He knew it would cost Him His life.

Do you know me, or am I a stranger within? When the Lord asked me this question, it changed my life forever. I heard Christians say there was nothing like intimacy with the Lord. I didn’t understand what that meant. I asked spiritually mature Christians to instruct me in the ways of Lord so that I might know Him. They consistently said pray, study the Word, be obedient to the Word, and live a sanctified life. Thus began my pursuit of intimacy with the Lord. I made mistakes during my pursuit; I tried to know Christ through other Christians—big mistake. I decided to pray and study the Word daily, obey His commands, and live a holy life. Out of that obedience came a longing to know Christ and to make Him known to others. God has a place within us where we are to meet with Him daily through His Word and prayer. Humanity has tried to fill that place with drugs, alcohol, porn, women, men, etc.—failing to realize the Lord created that special place just for Himself. The road to knowing the Lord is a journey that must be traveled alone. This book can help you find keys and principles to assist you. Stranger Within seeks to help those who want to look like Jesus, who want to walk in the truth of God’s Word, and who want minister in the power of God’s Spirit.

Fiction. Middle-Eastern Studies. Translated from the Farsi by Esmail Nooriala. "On Thursday August the ninth, 1979, at 3:30 in the afternoon, Amin's family, friends and I became certain that he had definitely disappeared. Saeed, Abdol, and Ahmad had gone through all of the unidentified corpses in Tehran's central morgue and had told Nargess and me, waiting in the stuffy corridor filled with the repulsive smell of disinfectant, 'He is not here.'" So begins Shokooh Mirzadegi's best-selling novel of alienation and exile in post-Revolution Iran. THAT STRANGER WITHIN ME encompasses universal issues affecting humankind in this century, infusing this genre of literature with new meaning. "Mirzadegi addresses the mysterious death of a husband, infidelity, sorrow, abortion, exile and a series of other social and political issues against the backdrop of a recently revolutionized Iran coming to terms with its anger against a fallen and greatly misunderstood monarchy." -- Tara Taghizadeh.

The truth remains: men, women, and children are plunging deeper into the entanglement of a deplorable condition. The crisis of identity plagues our world like never before. When a person's basic sense of being is altered, he or she tends to gravitate in the direction that seems to offer a deeper sense of self-worth. You are a unique individual, possessing unique gifts, talents, and abilities. You cannot be duplicated! That is why attempting to be someone else only leaves you feeling inadequate. Your identity is what makes 'you' you, and not someone else. Ignorance is no bliss! What you do not know can hinder you. In the same token, if you do not know who you are, you will stumble in your attempt to fulfill your God-given purpose. In this book, we deal with the importance of manifesting our destiny through grabbing a hold of biblical insights as to who we are in Christ. Why? The reason is 'Mankind has an identity ordained in Christ. This identity once embraced in its totality determines the course of destiny experienced.' It is time to live on purpose! There are countless millions waiting for you to show up and deliver what God has invested in you. The principles discussed in this book have been demonstrated in our lives for years. This is a book from the heart. We believe that as you embrace the principles therein, illumination will come to you relative to your specific condition. With the help of the Spirit of God, you will know what adjustments to make to stand your ground as an ambassador in the Kingdom of God. It is our prayer that you will understand clearly that your identity is suspended between your origin and your destiny. What you identify as your origin affects your perception of self. Why? 'You are a byproduct of the one who made you.' The originator of a thing determines its intrinsic worth. The origin also spells out the outcome of the product. We trust that as you read this book you will grasp that your Creator, God, did a good job in making you. — Kayode and Olumide Taiwo

The English language already challenges enough Americans. Why do we still hear TV commentators say "to I" or "he should have went"? So watch my three Asian scientists try to make sense of the English language in my ESL classes. Learn to appreciate their cultures how similar to ours and how different. Listen to them respond to the Christian religion. Hear them discuss politics at our pizza parties. Go with them to the movies Martin Luther and The Passion of Christ and see how they react. Get inside their contrasting personalities and laugh, if you want, at my own peculiar one. Feel my pinch of sadness when our ESL course disintegrated and we said our farewells. Far from being carbon copies of each other, these three distinct personalities might make you smile or sigh or even be surprised.

Shedding new light on British expansion in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, this collection of essays examines how the first British Empire was received and shaped by its subject peoples in Scotland, Ireland, North America, and the Caribbean. An introduction surveys British imperial historiography and provides a context for the volume as a whole. The essays focus on specific ethnic groups -- Native Americans, African-Americans, Scotch-Irish, and Dutch and Germans -- and their relations with the British, as well as on the effects of British expansion in particular regions -- Ireland, Scotland, Canada, and the West Indies. A conclusion assesses the impact of the North American colonies on British society and politics. Taken together, these essays represent a new kind of imperial history -- one that portrays imperial expansion as a dynamic process in which the oulying areas, not only the English center, played an important role in the development and character of the Empire. The collection interpets imperial history broadly, examining it from the perspective of common folk as well as elites and discussing the clash of cultures in addition to political disputes. Finally, by examining shifting and multiple frontiers and by drawing parallels between outlying provinces, these essays move us closer to a truly integrated story that links the diverse ethnic experiences of the first British Empire. The contributors are Bernard Bailyn, Philip D. Morgan, Nicholas Canny, Eric Richards, James H. Merrell, A. G. Roeber, Maldwyn A. Jones, Michael Craton, J. M. Bumsted, and Jacob M. Price.
