As the population of the 13 colonies grew and the economy developed, the desire to expand into new land increased. Nineteenth-century Americans believed it was their divine right to expand their territory from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. "Manifest destiny," a phrase first used in 1839 by journalist John O'Sullivan, embodied the belief that God had given the people of the United States a mission to spread a republican democracy across the continent. Advocates of manifest destiny were determined to carry out their mission and instigated several wars, including the war with Mexico to win much of what is now the southwestern United States. In Manifest Destiny: Westward Expansion, learn how this philosophy to spread out across the land shaped our nation.

MILESTONES - THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF OUR LIVES They make us who we are and who we become.... A Milestone is a great achievement in life that cannot be forgotten. One way that will be accomplished is by saying goodbye to the past and hello to the future. No one ever successfully drives forward looking in the rear view mirror. This in itself is a major accomplishment: Letting go of what is behind of the old life and pressing forward and walking into what lies ahead in Christ Jesus. Some typical examples of milestones are when one learns how to drive, graduates from school, leaves home for the first time, marriage, a first child, a first job, getting saved, and for some it could even mean the first day sober! There are three components that make up Milestones: the spoken Word of God, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit and substituting thinking - changing the way we think. This workbook will not just help you to take the right steps towards lasting recovery from addictions, but it will create crucial landmarks in your life's journey. So that you will become full of God's faith and power to venture on into your destiny! Milestones can be used for individual or group growth. Some may just want to work it alone as a personal reflection tool to solidify their faith. But most will benefit from working it together in a support setting where the Milestones can be discussed in depth. People who are in codependent relationships will benefit from Milestones, too. This book also, contains information how to set up a faith-based recovery program. So if you have been searching for a Faith-Based, Spirit Empowered program that emphasizes the Rhema Word of God, then look no further! Milestones is here.

Why was the act of arson that destroyed the first Goetheanum so devastatingly successful in its malicious intent? What was the nature of the poisoning that Rudolf Steiner suffered in 1923? What was the significance of Steiner’s encounter with an unknown Master in 1879, and his later meeting with Friedrich Nietzsche on his sickbed? Rather than presenting an accumulation of data, Meyer takes a symptomatological approach to the evolution of Rudolf Steiner’s thinking, pinpointing specific moments in his biography, whilst making numerous links to contemporary issues. Seemingly unimportant details are significant – such as Steiner’s boyhood habit of smashing dishes, or the droplet of water that adorned Steiner’s forehead at his funeral. The often overlooked language of such images is evaluated within the scope and grandeur of Rudolf Steiner’s life’s work. An incisive theme running through Milestones is the dual nature of time – ‘involution’ and ‘evolution’ – and how it affects the Anthroposophical Society and movement. Following Steiner’s death, a one-sided involution process has been evident in the overemphasis on the Christmas Foundation Meeting, as well as Steiner’s supposedly ‘indissoluble’ connection with the Society. This is coupled with distorted evolution processes, as seen in the urge to enter the public domain by jettisoning anthroposophy altogether. Such disharmonies can only be healed, says Meyer, by seeing the reality. This book serves as an essential guide to understanding the task of anthroposophy in the modern world.
