Reading psalms in context The Psalter is a carefully edited work, skillfully arranged to communicate a theological message. The Promised Davidic King is a case study of how a single psalm shapes--and is shaped by--its context in the Psalter. Wyatt Aaron Graham argues that Psalm 108 plays a guiding role in Book V (Pss 107-150). Following Israel's return from exile in Psalm 107, Psalm 108 introduces the eschatological King and kingdom further developed in Psalms 109-110. Psalm 108 repurposes Psalms 57 and 60, which in this location, take on renewed meaning in the Psalter's unfolding story of redemption. Graham's study of Psalm 108 gives insight into the meaning of the Psalms and displays the benefits of reading psalms in their context.

Wir sind stolz und freuen uns sehr darüber, mit diesem Buch einen für uns neuen, wunderbaren geistigen Lehrer in Deutschland bekannt zu machen: White Bull, einen indianischen Weisen, der von dem Engländer Ian Graham gechannelt wird. Mit inniger Liebe, köstlichem Humor und absoluter Aktualität äußert sich White Bull zu Fragen und Themen, die uns heute auf den Nägeln brennen. Über das Neue Jahrtausend • Warum wir jetzt auf diesem Planeten sind • Über Ebbe und Flut der Gefühle • Über Affirmationen • Vergangene Leben • Karma • Zeitbeschleunigung • Den Christus in uns • Über das Heimweh nach den Plejaden oder dem Sirius - Über Prophezeiungen und vieles, vieles mehr. Seine Ausführungen sind einfach und klärend, so dass sie in hervorragender Weise dazu beitragen, die Verwirrung, die heutzutage in vielen Köpfen herrscht, in Klarheit umzuwandeln.

Ian Graham channelt schon lange White Bull – diesen verständnisvollen, liebevollen, großen Weisen mit dem indianischen Namen und dem unvergleichlichen Humor. Wie ein goldenes, warmes Licht leuchtet er am Sternenhimmel unserer wahrlich wundervollen geistigen Lehrer. Er hat ein so tiefes, herzliches Verständnis für alles Menschliche, dass man sich in jeder Lebenslage gut bei ihm aufgehoben fühlt. Dieses Buch ist ein richtiges Geschenk – das Geschenk seiner tiefen Liebe und unvergänglichen Weisheit. Es ist wie die Essenz von allem, was er je gesagt und gelehrt hat; immer gültig, immer wahr – etwas, woran man sich orientieren kann. Es behandelt „nur“ wenige Themenbereiche, die an ihn herangetragen wurden: Was ist der Sinn meines Lebens? Wie komme ich mit meinen zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen klar? Wie kann ich Klarheit im Denken finden? Keine langen Abhandlungen, eher aphoristisch, oft nur wenige Sätze – die jedoch die Situation vollkommen erhellen. Ein Buch, in dem man Antworten findet. Und für alle Leser seines ersten Buches (Gott kommt nie zu spät, zu früh aber auch nicht) die so sehr ersehnte Fortsetzung, auf die sie schon so lange warten.

Ein weiterer Band der DK-Reihe "Wissen mit Links" (vgl. 3 weitere in dieser Nr.). Die Geschichte der Raumfahrt, die Funktionsweise des Raketenantriebs, die Vorbereitungsphase bis zum Start, das Leben im All, die Auswirkungen der Schwerelosigkeit auf den menschlichen Körper werden anschaulich mit vielen Illustrationen ebenso erklärt wie Hubblebilder, die Marsmission oder die Entsorgung von Weltraummüll. Zum Kapitel "Sicherheit" wird Apollo 13 herangezogen, die Challenger-Katastrophe findet nur in der Zeittafel kurze Erwähnung. Mit Glossar, einer Übersicht über die Mond- und Marslandungen sowie Kurzbiografien. Die Altersangabe des Verlages (ab 10) halte ich auch bei diesem Titel für zu früh. Die Links - auch hier wieder recherchierbar auf der reiheneigenen Homepage mit vorgegebenen Suchbegriffen - sind nützlich und interessant. Bietet zum selben Preis mehr als "Weltraumforschung" (BA 4/98). Gerne empfohlen.. - Die Geschichte der Raumfahrt, der Alltag im Weltall, Nutzen und Funktionsweise von Satelliten - all das wird anschaulich erklärt. Mit Kurzbiografien wichtiger Personen aus der Raumfahrt
