      Bishop Demetri's book, "Saints and Martyrs from the Holy Land," is a great contribution to our Orthodox religious library and all those who are interested in the lives of the saints. Bishop Demetri was fortunate to be born not far from the gates of the holy city of Jerusalem. He walked where Jesus walked and breathed the same air which Jesus breathed. He spent his childhood in the shadow of Bethlehem, Nazareth, Mount Tabor, Calvary and the empty tomb. Palestine is a land of prophets, apostles, saints, martyrs and church fathers. We commend Bishop Demetri for writing this volume and we recommend it to all readers, Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike. Metropolitan PHILIP Primate, Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America +++++++ This huge volume is arranged chronologically, with lives of prophets, martyrs, apostles, monastic - many with small icons, Dismissal Hymns and Kontakia - and includes the service to All Saints in Palestine for the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost. Presented in a modern narrative way, the hundreds of lives range from a paragraph to 5 pages in length. It is a handy source for information about the prophets and apostles (the 12 and the 70), about whom it is sometimes difficult to find quick information. There is an extensive glossary and listing of the Synaxarion of the Church of Jerusalem.

      The goal of How a Business Works is to create a framework for understanding business in 12 chapters that you can read, understand, and apply in a relatively short period of time. This framework will serve you in three ways: 1. It will help you to understand the behavior of sellers and employers, so that you can be a more informed businessperson, citizen, consumer, and employee. 2. It will help you to predict the future behavior of sellers and employers, so that you can make better plans and achieve better outcomes as a businessperson, citizen, consumer, and employee. 3. It will give you a basic understanding of business (a framework), so that you can effectively and efficiently learn more about business and organizations from the perspectives of your roles: as a citizen, consumer, employee, and possibly businessperson. All of us have the roles of a citizen and a consumer. Most of us have the role of an employee of an organization. And, some of us may choose the role of a businessperson. How a Business Works seeks to make business understandable to citizens and consumers. The book can help you in your career whether you are an employee of an organization or are self employed. And, finally, the book can assist you in becoming a businessperson.

      This is a book of poetry that was inspired by the spirit within me, while I was serving a five year sentence in Hardwick Ga. Woman's correctional Prison. While I was in prison, I realized that although they can lock up my body, they can not lock up my mind or my soul. There are many different prisons to be in. You may be out in the working world and still be in prison in your life. No matter what kind of prison you are in, the only one who can set you free is God. Don't let your prison lock you up. Set your mind and soul free. I hope when you read "Freedom Within" you will learn how to be free while you are in your prison. I also hope you find the key that will open ALL prison doors.

      There are six stories in this collection. They are not short stories; they are more properly called novelettes, small novels. The stories are all different and as original as one can find in literature today.The first story, 'The End of a World,' is about a man who predicts the end of a world. The second one, 'Privacy,' is about male and female privacy. Each sex should get equal privacy, right? Don't bet on it!The third story, 'The Presidential Simulator,' is another of the popular Krong The Watcher stories. The Watchers build for John and Jane Doe, a machine on which a person can practice being President, much like a pilot learning how to fly a new airplane without actually flying the plane. Also, a person can take a test to find out a person's qualifications to be president, and the fun is started. Too bad we didn't have such a Presidential Simulator for the last election, and for future elections.The forth story, 'Jailhouse Kill,' is the story of a locked room perfect crime. If you like crime stories, you will like this one!The fifth story, 'At The Ends of the Rainbow,' is a story of myth, legend, and fable. After reading this story, you will never see a rainbow without remembering it!The sixth and last story, 'The Island,' is a story of ideas, philosophy, ethics, principles, and morality. This story examines the truth of pacifism, pacifism which has a lot to do with the above words!

      The schools have an obligation and a duty to provide learning experiences for children that will develop in them, to the limit of their potential, those skills, attitudes, and values that will insure their continued education and happiness. The students of today must be prepared to accept their responsibilities as citizens of a problem-ridden, shrinking world of tomorrow. lt is vital that the curriculum be constructed in such a way that the student will be able to deal imaginatively with the problems he will face as an adult. Successful teaching recognizes that each student is an individual and must be respective as such. Discipline, which is necessary for character development, should be provided from without until a student has matured enough to internalize values and become self-disciplined. This is an evolving process. Talented teachers are keenly perceptive, sensitive, and enjoy being with children.They know that child-study is essential if they are to understand children.They have learned t
