| The person who pushes your buttons is likely someone who matters to you--a spouse, a parent, a boss, a fellow church member. Almost always this difficult person is connected to you by blood, love, faith, or money, so you can't just end the relationship without causing pain and upheaval in your life. Our friends and today's culture will often advise us to abandon such relationships quickly--to end this unpleasant chapter and get on with our lives. Psychologist and author Dr. John Townsend disagrees. "Your button-pusher is not someone you would easily and casually leave. You are intertwined at many levels. It is worth the trouble to take a look at the ways the relationship you had, and want, can be revived and reborn." |

| Everyone living, experiences emotions. Some are positive; some are not. The problem is that most people are driven by those emotions, thinking that they are helpless to do anything about them. Pastor Maureen Anderson gives hope to those who struggle with emotions by challenging the belief that emotions can't be controlled. She guides the reader through the process of understanding how emotions evolve and what can be done to direct them into godly patterns. Emotions dictate behavior, but thoughts dictate emotions. You can choose where your emotions are placed. By placing them on the things of God, you can become the master of your emotions. |

| Described here are more than 500 men and women from the Bible (Hebrew and Christian Scripture and Apocrypha of the Revised Standard Version) or important to biblical history, but not mentioned by name (Alexander the Great, for example). The individuals are in alphabetical order by Anglicized spelling. Most have a paragraph or two, but several need many pages (Abraham gets 10, Moses 11, Peter 7, Paul 12, and Jesus 17). Each entry includes pronunciation and original name (Hebrew, Greek, Latin) as well as a literal meaning, if there is one. Analysis of the person's importance to Judeo-Christian history is offered in many cases, and chapter and verse from the Bible are cited. Cross-referenced names are in bold print. If a name is used for more than one person, they are entered in chronological order as best as can be determined. The index covers topics as well as people. It is preceded by a complete list of every name (more than 3,500) in the Bible. This section has some interesting facts placed throughout ("Jesus is mentioned 990 times, second only to David at 1,100; Moses is third with 870 citations"). Each name is followed by a reference to the Bible passage in which it first appears.The color illustrations are taken from classical paintings, illuminations, stained glass, and photographs of objects, plus 50 drawings original to this work. Ten maps show the Middle East in Biblical times, some tracing journeys through the area (e.g., Moses, Jesus, Paul). All the illustrations are sharply reproduced. Sidebars with important information are scattered throughout. They cover such varied topics as the Sermon on the Mount, rabbis, child sacrifice, and the Babylonian Noah.There are many reference works providing biographies of biblical figures-- Who's Who in the Bible (Bonanza, 1980), Harper's Bible Dictionary (1985), etc.--but this new biographical dictionary will be an asset to all public and high-school libraries. It is readable and full of beautiful illustrations that will please the browser and be helpful to the researcher. This should be on libraries' A list for purchase; consider getting a second copy for the circulating collection. |
