Cristo viaja a lo largo de tres vidas, como Señor, como almirante y como actor. Desde la primera mención del nombre de Cristo, hace dos mil años, pasando después por el Nuevo Mundo y llegando a tiempos futuros, este nombre aparece en un marco de ficción histórica para enseñarnos el camino que nos lleva hacia el Próximo Mundo. Nuestro personaje, viajando desde la santidad hacia el mal o el culto a Buda, muestra al mundo la vida y la muerte de una forma más sencilla, para que el hombre común comprenda el misterio de las edades. Cristo es el mismo actor que interpreta a Cristo, un almirante del océano y un actor Shakesperiano, que finalmente se verá ignorado por todos. La suya es un alma que sufre los retos del tiempo para poder revelarse a sí mismo, mientras nos revela los secretos que lo llevaron hasta el Próximo Mundo. Cristo X Cristo es un misterio atemporal que perdurará por todos los tiempos.

Christ versus Arizona turns on the events in 1881 that surrounded the shootout at the OK Corral, where Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Virgil and Morgan Earp fought the Clantons and the McLaurys. Set against a backdrop of an Arizona influenced by the Mexican Revolution and the westward expansion of the United States, the story is a bravura performance by the 1989 Nobel Prize-winning author. A monologue by the naive, unreliable, and uneducated Wendell L. Espana, the book weaves together hundreds of characters and a torrent of interconnected anecdotes, some true, some fabricated. Wendell s story is a document of the vast array of ills that welcomed the dawning of the twentieth century, ills that continue to shape our world in the new millennium."

Cuándo y por qué se llamaron cristianos. Todas las diferentes religiones que tienen el nombre de cristianas, tienen a la vez, diferente concepto de la persona del Señor Jesucristo el unigénito Hijo De Dios. Solo la Biblia nos da la revelación exacta y profunda de quién es realmente el Señor Jesucristo. Ministrada esta a nuestro espíritu por el Espíritu Santo, que es quien nos revela la verdadera naturaleza Divina y eterna de Cristo, el Verbo Divino encarnado.

Publisher description: The Monte Cristo area, pocketed in spectacularly beautiful mountains in the Pacific Northwest, has long intrigued visitors with its colorful history, rooted in the search for deposits of gold and silver as rich as the Count of Monte Cristo. Here is the story of the region, from discovery to disillusionment and, ultimately, to the dust of a ghost town. The several decades of Monte Cristo's glory led to the construction of the Everett & Monte Cristo Railway (a marvelous engineering mistake) and the founding of the city of Everett as a processing and shipping point for the projected mining riches all events manipulated by Eastern corporate titans including John D. Rockefeller and the Guggenheims. Through boom and bust the struggling railroaders, miners, merchants, and their families dreamed, worked, failed, and sometimes died in Monte Cristo's unforgiving winters.
