The word "revelation" in the Greek is apocalypses, which means "an uncovering" or "unveiling." It is therefore a book designed to uncover or unveil, not conceal. Part of the challenge in understanding the book is that it is written in a style not familiar to modern man. It is an example of what is called "apocalyptic literature" which was quite popular from 200 B.C. to 200 A.D. As such, it was a type of literature well known to the Jews and Christians of the first century church. The early church likely did not have the problem understanding the book as we do today. They were well acquainted with the style of apocalyptic literature. They were living at a time when the symbols of the book were likely familiar to them (similar to how a picture of a donkey fighting an elephant would be understood by us as depicting conflict between the Democratic and Republican parties) "Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near." (Re 1:3)

The purpose of this book is to become a part of the global prayer network that is being established in this hour before the coming of the Lord. To fulfill the commission of Jesus that men are to always pray and not to faint; and to teach, train, disciple and recruit prayer warriors.

A realistic fiction about a tender naive friendship that's challenged when both girls become valedictorian candidates. One young girl emulates street talk, the other articulates Standard English. Yet, they share a special bond. Will their friendship endure the competition, disagreement(s) and difference(s)? Who will win? Who should win? They slowly realize the true meaning of two very important facets of life; friendship and academic achievement. From beginning to end, competition, communication, laughter, heart felt dialogue, and self searching bridges their closeness.

Trialkoxyboranes and trialkoxyboroxins are synthesized by a novel and efficient route of esterifying boric acid with various alcohols in the presence of calcium hydride. Some of these boranes were used as precursors for transmetallation reactions. Trialkoxyboroxins can be obtained using a 1:1 molar ratio of boric acid to alcohol in the presence of calcium hydride. A special feature of trialkoxyboranes and trialkoxyboroxins is their ability to be interconverted by the addition of the appropriate amounts of boric acid or the hydroxyl compound in the presence of calcium hydride. Biscyclopentadienylzirconium-alkenyl-chlorides, Cp2Zr(alkenyl)Cl, are prepared from the hydrozirconation of terminal and internal alkynes. A systematic investigation of the transmetallation of these alkenyl groups from zirconium to a variety of boron compounds is presented. The reaction of the organozirconium with a boron chloride or bromide results in the exchange of the halogen and alkenyl group, forming structurally different types of alkenylboranes in good to high yields. A general method for preparing pure organohaloboranes (RBX2 and R2BX) was developed with high isolated yields and product purity. The reaction proceeds via the exchange of the anhydrides of boronic or borinic acids, (RBO)3 or R2BOBR2 with trihaloboranes (BX3). The newly formed organohaloboranes can contain hydroboratable (primary or secondary), non-hydroboratable (tertiary or aryl) and chiral groups. To demonstrate the utility of the facile migration from zirconium to boron, the syntheses of trans, trans-1,3-dienes and trisubstituted olefins are examined. Generally the olefin synthesis, via organoboranes, has been limited to coupling of alkylvinylboranes that contain symmetrical vinyl groups. The high regioselectivity of the hydrozirconation reaction with unsymmetrical internal alkynes overcomes this limitation. Thus, trisubstituted olefins containing three distinct organic groups about the double bond were readily synthesized using established organoborane chemistry. A number of preparations for zirconacycles have appeared in the literature. Since borocycles, ring structures containing a boron atom, are not easily prepared via normal hydroboration reactions, the use of metallacycles to prepare borocycle derivatives was investigated.
