¡EL CIELO!… ¿ABURRIDO?
Price range: $3.99 through $12.99La vida eterna: ¿es un sueño hecho realidad o una amenaza ominosa? Para aquellos que se preocupan de que flotar en las nubes y tocar arpas suene increíblemente aburrido, este libro ofrece una perspectiva única, atractiva y convincente sobre el cielo. ¡El Cielo! … ¿Aburrido? se aparta de las exploraciones típicas del cielo para examinar el concepto de la vida eterna desde nuevos puntos de vista. El autor Greg Thomas, MD, combina historia, biología, cosmología, filosofía y experiencia vital, junto con anécdotas caprichosas y relevantes, para estimular el intelecto mientras entretiene al mismo tiempo. Examina cómo la ciencia moderna arroja luz sobre la relación entre lo temporal y lo eterno, y cómo esto puede profundizar nuestra apreciación por la promesa bíblica de la vida eterna. Explora cómo nuestras experiencias sensoriales actuales tanto revelan como ocultan lo eterno. Lo más importante, Thomas ofrece reflexiones sobre cómo la promesa del evangelio de la vida eterna es, de hecho, una buena noticia. La promesa de la vida eterna no es una noción sentimental o un pensamiento ilusorio; es un asunto serio. Este libro es para todos aquellos que alguna vez se han preguntado: “¿Me aburriré en el cielo?”

As globalization and urbanization increase, we will continue to encounter unknown viruses and the so-called Disease X. Since there is no cure yet, we must research and deploy standard and alternative measures.
In China, more than 500 plagues were recorded in the past 3000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine grew up struggling with those mainstream medical crises. TCM has formed mature theories on integrated treatment plans and has accumulated and recorded rich therapeutic experiences.

Initially a retrospection of TMC history of plagues is offered, including the earliest theories of antiserum therapy and ancient vaccines and variolation. This section also includes information on the various schools of TCM and their various approaches in understanding and treating plagues.

Finally, we discuss prevention strategies as well as treatment of accompanying and underlying patterns and immune disorders associated with Covid-19. We include examples of how early physicians dealt with contagions and patients and how they tried to do their work, but not contract the diseases they were treating. We also include a section on the various stages of Covid-19 infection from initial to critical as well as the sequelae of this infection. TCM has been found to be especially useful in the post-infection phase for patients with lingering symptoms.

Bleeding Kansas and the American Civil War

The book starts out with the U.S. Presidential Elections of 1852 and the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, which allowed settlers, not Congress, to determine by popular vote, if they wanted to be admitted into the United States as a Free State or a Slave State. Streams of emigrants began to settle from Midwestern States, Northern States, and Southern States to make land claims in the Kansas Territory. It became a battleground. Politics, violent murders, rivalry governments, and election fraud in Kansas Territory, all played an important role leading up to the American Civil War. Abolitionist John Brown, his militants, and his sons, played a role in the violent murders in the Kansas Territory. Details of John Brown’s raid into neighboring State of Missouri are also included, where he freed 11 slaves, murdered a slave owner, and stole several ox, wagons, supplies, and valuables. He was condemned by both Free-State and Pro-Slavery newspapers across the country, as well as the President of the United States and the Governor of Missouri, who both off ered a combined reward of $3,250 for the capture of John Brown. He was a wanted man on the run. John Brown’s unsuccessful raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia, including Robert E. Lee and J.E.B. Stuart’s involvement, and John Brown’s subsequent hanging are noted in the book.
