Three Modules on Clear Writing Style: An Introduction to The Craft of Argument
by Joseph M. Williams Gregory ColombAs readers, we respond to writing that is clear, direct, and coherent. As writers, we need to learn how to produce these qualities in our own work. Sometimes we lack the vocabulary for talking about writing especially about matters of style with our peers, editors, and collaborators. Learning new ways to talk about good writing simpli es the composition, editing and review processes. LRS provides writers with the tools to see and solve common problems.

Threshold of Faith: The History of God's People
by Gary CoteAs one studies the Bible, the various sections can become overwhelming and most confusing. Many study one area that often leaves them confused about what is going on elsewhere. A difficulty exists trying to understand one part of the revelation, while the rest remains in the sphere of the unknown. Many skip from one section to another trying to find cohesion. The student seeks connection and clarity in its message and structure. This textbook is arranged to answer these questions while setting the foundation for future study. However, it is not written to be an in-depth look at every facet of God's revelation. Rather, it is designed to be a working manual for all those who want a solid foundation in the faith, and want to know God's plan which has been unfolding since the beginning of creation to the present, and from this present day till the end of all things. This textbook was written to explain the deep truths of Scripture in a sensible manner, to satisfy the requirements of those involved in academia while remaining free from its self-imposed restrictions of higher scholarship. This book is for the needs of every saint who is hungry for truth, and for the students of God's Word who are in need of tools and resources. This book will stir your faith, ground you in truth, and instill an understanding of God's Word to help you and others in your personal quest to know God. This manuscript approaches the complexities of the Bible by viewing it all within twelve panels, each having a threshold through which the people of God walked. These twelve thresholds are the doorways that led from one era to the next as God's revelation of the Messiah unfolded. This book is designed to be the textbook for every believer, enabling them to grasp the meaning of God's revelation. It explains these truths within a historical setting, enabling the student of God's Word to formulate a correct perspective of God's revelation even to the end of the age. To help with this endeavor, there are numerous break-out boxes along the way to address various topics and themes, and to make application to one's life in the faith. Reading in and through these twelve thresholds, the reader will discover the difference between those who lived contrary to God and the faithful who walked in harmony with God. These men and women of faith were made manifest to the visible and invisible world; their life actions declared that they belonged to the realm called, The People of God. They were a spectacle to behold, which the world was not worthy to receive. These people of faith displayed an allegiance to God and His Word, regardless of the adversaries that sought their end. They simply believed God! The twelve thresholds began with the Times of Adam and moved onward and upward to the higher calling of Christ Jesus. This book is a must for everyone desiring to know the word of God; it is the textbook for the faithful!

Thumb and the Bad Guys
by Ken RobertsThumb and his best friend, Susan, love movie nights, when the entire community of New Auckland gathers in the school gym to eat popcorn and watch videos. Mostly they are movies about bad guys being tracked down by cool detectives. It's the villains, Thumb realizes, that make life interesting. If only he could track down a bad guy. But New Auckland is a remote fishing village. There are only 143 people in the entire community. How could there possibly be bad guys around? Thumb is determined, and so he and Susan conduct a stakeout. Their suspicions soon focus on Kirk McKenna, a toothless, bald fisherman. They track Kirk to a hidden shed in the woods, where they hear the muffled but chilling sounds of wailing. Meanwhile, their teacher sends the kids off to solve a different kind of mystery -- an archeological one that leads them to the possible site of an early European gun placement. Suddenly mysteries abound for Thumb and his friends.
