Cajun police detective Dave Robicheaux knows the Sonnier family of New Iberia - their connections to the CIA, the mob, and to a former Klansman now running for state office. And he knows their past - as dark and murky as a night on the Louisiana bayou.

And they've come out of hiding to destroy the tormented investigator - and the people he holds most dear.

The Gospel of Mark portrays the life of Christ complete with parables, sermons, and a narrative of many events in the adult life of Jesus. As much a book of history as a book of faith, and is equally suited for both.

The Book of Mark is the second book of the New Testament and narrates the ministry of Jesus from his baptism to his death and resurrection. This account portrays Jesus as hiding his messianic identity more than in the other three Gospels and contains much hidden knowledge for those with spiritual insight. It focuses particularly on the last week of his life and shows the suffering of Jesus in greater detail. It is the shortest of the four Gospels.

Despite considerable concerns throughout England, the transition of the House of Tudor to the House of Stewart, from Elizabeth to James I (reigned 1603-1625) proved untroubled, not least because the queen left the country in ‘flourishing circumstances'. The new monarch moved to London and, despite being James VI of Scotland, made it his home for the next two decades. Unsurprisingly, his early distribution of honours benefitted more Scots figures than English, and coloured the nature of his English court, though he prudently left most of the main offices in the hands of Elizabeth's ministers.

Have you ever wondered why Bible prophecy is so confusing? There is a simple answer to that question. Having begun with a basic scriptural truth, many prophecy ‘experts’ proceed to fill in the details from their own logic. By changing a word here and an interpretation there, they force the scriptures to agree with them. It never quite works, however, because the entire volume of scriptures weighs in against them. In "The Two Dumbest Mistakes Most Pre-tribbers Make” a different tactic is applied. Using the fascinating and thrilling Bible prophecies for the last days of history, this ...

Visible thinking is a research-based approach to teaching thinking, begun at Harvard's Project Zero, that develops students' thinking dispositions while at the same time deepening their understanding of the topics they study. Rather than a set of fixed lessons, visible thinking is a varied collection of practices, including thinking routines, small sets of questions, or a short sequence of steps as well as the documentation of student thinking. Using this process, thinking becomes visible as the students' different viewpoints are expressed, documented, discussed, and reflected upon.
