The Complete Musician: An Integrated Approach To Theory, Analysis And Listening
by Steven G. Laitz Ian SewellBeginning with music fundamentals, The Complete Musician covers all the topics necessary for a thorough understanding of undergraduate music theory by focusing on music in context. <P><P>Rather than rote learning of concepts and memorizing terms, The Complete Musician emphasizes how theory informs the work of performers. Composers respond not only to their instincts, experiences, and training in every work they write; they also follow certain ideals and models when appropriate, and modify them to fit their own personal vision. <P><P>Theory is not a "theoretical" activity; it is a living one that responds to how music is composed and performed. Understanding how theory intersects with composition and performance is key to seeing its relevance to students' wider musical lives. The Complete Musician makes this connection.

by Olugbemisola Rhuday PerkovichIn this terrific debut, a Brooklyn middle-schooler finds the superhero within himself thanks to old friends, new dreams, and a pair of magical "Dora the Explorer" sneakers. Ever since a deeply unfortunate incident earlier this year, Reggie's been known as "Pukey" McKnight at his high-intensity Brooklyn middle school. He wants to turn his image around, but he has other things on his mind as well: his father, who's out of a job; his best friends, Ruthie and Joe C.; his former best friend Donovan, who's now become a jerk; and of course, the beautiful Mialonie.

This ebook can be read in 30 minutes and shows both the traditional and contemporary wording of each of the 10 Commandments, a principle and the meaning of each commandment, what Jesus taught about the commandments, and why the 10 Commandments are important today.Below is an example of the information you will find in The Ten Commandments: *Commandment 3 - Do Not Misuse God's Name*Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain.*Principle-*God's name is holy, powerful and glorious.*Meaning- *God's name is holy and should be treated with respect. there is power in the LORD's name and it shouldn't be used lightly. Because God is Spirit, we know Him through what He says about Himself, to take His name in vain violates God's nature. As God's creation, everything a person says and does should be done in order to praise and glorify God. (1 Corinthians 10:31)*Bible examples- *When a man named Shelomith blasphemed the name of God with a curse, the Lord commanded that he be taken outside the camp and stoned to death. (Leviticus 24:10-16)*Jesus was accused of blasphemy because He claimed to be God. (John 10:33)*James warned believers to watch what they say because the tongue is capable of evil and poison and can easily corrupt a person. (James 3:5-9)*Jesus' Teaching-*Jesus said, "...every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven...But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words, you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." (Matthew 12:31, 36, 37)*Jesus said to begin praying with: "Our Father in heaven, hollowed be your name." (Matthew 6:9)*Explanations:*Jews and Jewish scribes would go to great measures in order to avoid saying or writing the LORD's name for fear of blasphemy. The Bible says we are to pray, heal, and baptize in Jesus' name. (Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:17, John 14:13, Acts 3:6)*The Bible says that what we say is very important and it is a glimpse into who we are (James 3:9-12). God loves us and wants us to love and worship Him in whatever we are doing and at all times. God wants us to use His name; it is holy and powerful. If we can show respect for the names of our fathers, mothers, teachers and doctors, then how much more should we respect the name of our sovereign God. The Ten Commandments breaks the 10 Commandments into two main divisions: commandments about our relationship to God and commandments about our relationship to other people. This ebook is also a great resource on the history of the commandments and why The Ten Commandments were revolutionary for their time.

by Rose PublishingChrist in the Old Testament ebook explores the lives of 13 biblical people who "prefigured" the Messiah. Throughout the Old Testament, God provided "saviors" for the people of Israel who would foreshadow the true, eternal Savior yet to come.

This 14-panel foldout chart examines types, parallels, and illustrations of Jesus throughout the Old Testament, including people such Melchizedek, King David, Adam, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, and many others. When viewed through the prism of Christ's life, death and resurrection, these Old Testament characters and their roles in biblical history take on new dimensions.

Creed & Heresies: Then and Now
by Rose PublishingThis beautiful eBook contains the full text of the Apostles Creed and Nicene Creed, and explains why they are important to learn today. In 14 pages you will take a simple easy-to-understand look back to the historical teachings of the church, and bring them to life for today's believers. During the time of the early church (AD 30-AD 400) some key beliefs were misunderstood by Gnostics and other religious groups. Some people couldn't tell the difference between the teachings of Jesus' apostles and the notions that were common in society. It was important to put together short summaries of the essential doctines of the faith. Many of the phrases were written to address particular false beliefs. The eBook shows that many of the questionable teachings of 2000 years ago are still around. Understanding how the church dealt with these issues in the past helps us to deal with those same issues today. A clear simple explanation of the church's response to ancient heresies, many of which are common in today's cultic groups and other religions.CHART 1Concise easy-to-understand chart with explanations of these groups. They are important to know because so many modern heresies are similar to them. Without a chart such as this, it is difficult to tell the truth from an incorrect belief because groups use the same terms.*Docetism*Ebionitism*Adoptionism*Manicheanism*Marcionism*Modalism*Montanism*Apollinarianism*Arianism*Macedonianism*Pelagianism*NestorianismCHARTS 2, 3 and 4These charts explain each part of the three Creeds line by line and give Bible references for each phrase.*Apostles Creed*Nicene CreedCHART 5Side-by-side comparison of Gnostic and Christian beliefs on:*Jesus, Salvation, Origin of Evil*Cosmonogy (origin of the universe) and Cosmology (the nature, order, and function of the universe)This eBook will make the Creeds come alive. It takes important concepts and makes them clear and understandable for youth, college, and adults.Ideas for using this eBook:*Confirmation and baptism and communion-preparation classes*Parents of confirmation students*Teacher training on the basic beliefs of Christianity*Personal devotional reading*Small group or Bible studyCopy Reader's Note: I loved reading this eBook because it answers the question: "How would I summarize the key teachings of Christianity in one 2-minute explanation?" Have you ever tried it with someone from another country? It's really tough to go through Christian beliefs and word them just right. The Creeds were the ancient version of today's "elevator pitch." It was the two-minute clarification of what Christians believed and what they didn't.
