Blood Diamonds: Tracing The Deadly Path Of The World's Most Precious Stones
First discovered in 1930, the diamonds of Sierra Leone have funded one of the most savage rebel campaigns in modern history These "blood diamonds" are smuggled out of West Africa and sold to legitimate diamond merchants in London, Antwerp, and New York, often with the complicity of the international diamond industry. Eventually, these very diamonds find their way into the rings and necklaces of brides and spouses the world over. Blood Diamonds is the gripping tale of how the diamond smuggling works, how the rebel war has effectively destroyed Sierra Leone and its people, and how the policies of the diamond industry - institutionalized in the 1880s by the De Beers cartel - have allowed it to happen. Award-winning journalist Greg Campbell traces the deadly trail of these diamonds, many of which are brought to the world market by fanatical enemies. These repercussions of diamond smuggling are felt far beyond the borders of the poor and war-ridden country of Sierra Leone, and the consequences of overlooking this African tragedy are both shockingly deadly and unquestionably global. Updated with a new epilogue. .

On Civil Government: Its Origin, Mission and Destiny and the Christian's Relation to It (Library of Radical Christian Discipleship)
This volume is a reprint of the most through treatise on pacifism and the separation of church and state from the early era of the Stone-Campbell movement. Drawing on the Old and New Testaments as well as the witness of the early church, Lipscomb makes a strong case for the church's non-involvement in civil government (in contrast with the divine government, which is being demonstrated through the church community).This is the third book in the Library of Radical Christian Discipleship, acollection of works by/about movements in church history that were deeply rooted (the English word radical comes from the Latin radix, meaning root) in their commitment to following the self-denying example of Jesus and the earlychurch in embodying the Gospel as contrast communities in the midst of a world held hostage by sin and death..

Evangelicalism & The Stone-Campbell Movement, Vol. 2
Max Lucado and Gene Appel embody the new engagement between the Stone-Campbell Movement and evangelicalism Lucado is Americas bestselling Christian writer; and Appel was recently appointed successor to Bill Hybels at Willow Creek, Americas largest and most influential evangelical church. Both men have deep Stone-Campbell Movement roots. The Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement is a two-hundred-year-old tradition made up of three sub-traditions: Churches of Christ (a cappella), Christian Churches (independent), and Disciples of Christ. Churches of Christ (a cappella) and Christian Churches (independent) especially, are increasingly engaging both each another and the evangelical world. As this engagement continues, suspicions and misconceptions are giving way, and foundational theological issues are being explored together. This important volume continues the dialogue that began with the first volume of Evangelicalism and the Stone-Campbell Movement (InterVarsity Press 2002). Volume 2 focuses on the basic doctrines of God, Christ, the Lords Supper, eschatology and Scripture. Responses from noted evangelical scholars show how Stone-Campbell thought both corresponds with and departs from evangelical thought. Everyone concerned with Christian unity and theological soundness in a time of shakeup and realignment on the Christian landscape will find rich thought and provocative discussion in this volume. Contributors include: Jack Cottrell, John Sanders, John Mark Hicks, I. Howard Marshall, Lynn McMillon, Gary Hall, Grant Osborne, Carisse Mickey Berryhill, Terry Briley, Gary M. Burge M. Daniel Carroll R. (Rodas), Richard J. Cherok, Brian D. Johnson, Paul J. Kissling, Mark S. Krause, Robert C. Kurka, Edward P. Myers, Paul Pollard, Duane Warden..

African Rock Art: Paintings and Engravings on Stone
It was like entering an obscure art gallery and stumbling across a Renoir. “That was how British photographer David Coulson described for People magazine the wonder and astonishment he experienced upon first gazing at an engraving of two majestic 20-foot-tall giraffes carved into stone in Niger’s Aïr Mountains—among the largest prehistoric engravings ever found. Readers will share his awe in the pages of this breathtaking volume, the first comprehensive illustrated book on Africa’s rock art from prehistoric times to the 20th century. Covering the entire continent, this magnificently illustrated book contains more than 200 full-color photographs of Africa’s rock art, together with historical and interpretive analysis. Coulson and former museum director Alec Campbell scoured the remotest areas of Africa in their efforts to raise public awareness of the variety, importance, and frailty of these extraordinary works, many of which are endangered by erosion, theft, and vandalism..
