In contrast to the trench-war deadlock on the Western Front, combat in Romania and Transylvania in 1916 foreshadowed the lightning warfare of World War II. When Romania joined the Allies and invaded Transylvania without warning, the Germans responded by unleashing a campaign of bold, rapid infantry movements, with cavalry providing cover or pursuing the crushed foe.

In the fickle world of popular music, Dinah had a longer run at the top than any other girl singer, and on television, she had no equal in the musical field. Arguably, she was "the first lady of television". Dinah's life, however, was not always easy.

Like many visionary artists throughout time from Vincent van Gogh to Baudelaire, H.P. Lovecraft did not get the credit he was due when he was alive for his special kind of genius. Dying poor and alone, he may at first appear to be yet another writer who never had a chance to fully blossom. However, with his writing the opposite is true- Instead of vanishing from the popular collective unconscious, Lovecraft even in death accrues more followers each passing year. From musicians to writers, to philosophers, academics, and sculptors, Lovecraft’s footprint only becomes more defined as time ...

Acts 2:17 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh.” There can be no doubt that as we draw closer to the end of the age, that there has been a dramatic increase in the outpouring of God’s Spirit in the earth. The evidence is clear, for whereas Spirit filled believers throughout the earth at the start of the twentieth century, could be numbered in their thousands, Spirit filled believers in the earth at the start of the twenty first century, can now be numbered in their millions. This book is written to provide a biblical ...

One of the fundamental differences between the saints of the old covenant and the saints of the new covenant, is that we have the Holy Spirit residing on the inside of us, whereas the saints under the old covenant did not. Because of this fact, God leads His children under the new covenant, completely differently to the way that He led His servants under the old.

The reason that the saints went to the prophet for guidance, was because none of them had any access to the Holy Spirit. ...
