Paul's letters to Timothy and Titus are well-known for their encouragement to these two young leaders. Many people are familiar with passages such as "...a workman that needs not to be ashamed..." "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God..." "For the love of money is the root of all evil..." For many years these letters have been the source for instructions to churches and church leaders. Paul's writings, however, go beyond elders and deacons. There are specific directions for husbands, wives, old men, and young women. Through these letters we read about working together in our homes, at church, and in the workplace. "Ready to Receive, Ready to Share" presents a unique "3-D" approach to studying Paul's letters known as I Timothy, II Timothy, and Titus. Four main themes that are found in each letter are studied in parallel. Rather than starting with the first verse of I Timothy and working to the last verse in Titus, this study identifies these common themes and examines all three letters at the same time. This Bible study guide includes 13 lessons for individuals or small groups. The questions and study material are intended for participants who are high school age through adults.

The two-and-a-half centuries after 1066 were momentous ones in the history of Britain. In 1066, England was conquered for the last time. The Anglo-Saxon ruling class was destroyed and and the English became a subject race, dominated by a Norman-French dynasty and aristocracy. This book shows how the English domination of the kingdom was by no means a foregone conclusion. The struggle for mastery in the book's title is in reality the struggle for different masteries within Great Britain. The book weaves together the histories of England, Scotland and Wales in a new way and argues that all three, in their different fashions, were competing for domination

This book is part of the Images of Wales series, which uses old photographs and archived images to show the history of various local areas in Wales, through their streets, shops, pubs, and people.
