-Titulo Original : Color, Communism and Common Sense-Fabricante : Martino Fine Books-Descripcion Original: 2024 Hardcover Reprint of the 1958 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Here is the story of one Black American Communist who became disillusioned with Communism and penned this cautionary tale of the perils of his experience. According to the author: Ten years I labored in the cause of Communism. I was a dedicated comrade. All my talents and efforts were zealously used to bring about the triumph of Communism in America and throughout the world. To me, the end of capitalism would mark the beginning of an interminable period of plenty, peace, prosperity and universal comradeship. All racial and class differences and conflicts would end forever after the liquidation of the capitalists, their government and their supporters. ..Little did I realize until I was deeply enmeshed in the Red Conspiracy, that just and seeming grievances are exploited to transform idealism into a cold and ruthless weapon against the capitalist system-that this is the end toward which all the communist efforts among Negroes are directed. Indeed, I had entered the red conspiracy in the vain belief that it was the way to a new, better and superior world system of society. Ten years later, thoroughly disillusioned, I abandoned communism. From the preface...

-Titulo Original : The Measure of a Man-Fabricante : Martino Fine Books-Descripcion Original: 2013 Reprint of 1959 Edition.

In August 1958 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., preached two sermons, What is Man? and The Dimensions of a Complete Life, at the first National Conference on Christian Education of the United Church of Christ at Purdue University.

The press and King arranged for proceeds to be shared evenly, after the former had recovered its costs of publication. King first developed the theme of What Is Man? during his seminary days. King believed the sermons title to be one of the most important questions confronting any generation, proposing that man is many things: a biological being, a being of spirit who is made in the image of God and sinners in need of Gods divine grace...

-Titulo Original : The Greatest Fight in the World-Fabricante : Martino Fine Books-Descripcion Original: 2023 Reprint of the 1892 Edition. Spurgeon (1834 - 1892) was a British Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the Prince of Preachers. By April 1891, when Spurgeon addressed the annual conference of the Pastors College for the last time, he was an experienced and battle-worn soldier. Spurgeon considered it the life-work of a pastor to be engaged in a crusade against error and sin. He fully appreciated what it was to fight the good fight of faith. In The Greatest Fight in the World, this final annual address to his fellow pastors and Pastors College students, Spurgeon offers practical advice on how to approach the battle. He does so under three martial metaphors: Our Armory (the Scriptures); Our Army (the church); and Our Strength (the Holy Spirit). The Greatest Fight in the World is a book for every pastor. It will stimulate and inspire an approach to the pastoral task which is orderly and intelligent, and which above all recognises and has confidence in the God from whom the strength to engage in battle comes.

-Titulo Original : The Light of Egypt; Or, the Science of the Soul and the Stars [Two Volumes in One]-Fabricante : Martino Fine Books-Descripcion Original: 2021 Hardcover Reprint of the 1963 Edition in Two Volumes bound into one. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Thomas H. Burgoyne, an astrologer and founder of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, was born April 14, 1855, and grew up in his native Scotland. Spontaneously psychic, he claimed that as a child he came into contact with the Brotherhood of Light, a group of discarnate, advanced beings who attempt to guide the destiny of humankind. Today that group continues as the Church of Light. At a later date he met a M. Theon, purported to be an earthly representative of the brotherhood who taught Burgoyne about the Brotherhood. Burgoyne moved to the United States around 1880 and soon afterward his writings began to appear in various periodicals. He was brought into contact with Norman Astley of Carmel, California, who also claimed to be in contact with the Brotherhood of Light. Astley suggested that Burgoyne write a set of lessons to introduce the brotherhoods teachings to the public, and Burgoyne accepted Astleys hospitality at Carmel while he worked on the lessons. They were published in 1889 as The Light of Egypt. The writing of the lessons occasioned the establishment of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor as an esoteric occult order and outer expression of the Brotherhood of Light. The Hermetic Brotherhood was structured with three leaders, a seer, a scribe/secretary, and an astrologer. Burgoyne became the scribe. As Burgoyne understood it, the Brotherhood of Light was an occult order formed to oppose the dominant religious powers of the day in ancient Egypt. As the members died, they continued the brotherhood from their new plane of being...

-Titulo Original : The Power of Awareness-Fabricante : Martino Fine Books-Descripcion Original: 2022 Hardcover Reprint of the 1952 first edition. Neville Lancelot Goddard was born in Barbados in 1905. He came to the United States to study drama at the age of seventeen and whilst touring with his dance company in England he developed an interest in metaphysics, after striking up a conversation with a Scotsman who lent him a series of books on the powers of the mind. On his return he gave up the entertainment industry to devote his full attention to the study of spiritual and mystical matters. After traveling extensively throughout the United States, Neville eventually made his home in Los Angeles where, in the 1950s, he gave a series of talks on television and radio, and for many years lectured regularly to capacity audiences. In the 1960s and early 1970s, he confined most of his lectures to Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. In his early lectures and books, Neville dealt solely with what he called The Law, the technique of creating ones physical reality through imagining. It is this portion of his expression that most closely accords with the teachings of the New Thought movement. In 1959 he began to experience what he called The Promise. In the latter part of the 1960s and early 1970s Neville gave more emphasis to The Promise than to The Law. One could use imaginal power to change ones circumstances, he said, but it would be temporary, ...and will vanish like smoke. He went on to explain that The Promise superseded The Law, claiming Oh, you can use it [The Law] to make a fortune, to become known in the world, all these things are done, but, your true purpose here is to fulfill Scripture. After subordinating The Law to The Promise, he became as eager to hear accounts by those who had experienced The Promise, and sharing such accounts, as he had earlier of those with The Law.The Power of Awareness attempts to demonstrate how to use our mind to realize our wishes. As such, it is an important part of the larger New Though Movement, in which Neville holds a prominent place...
