Fanning the Sacred Flame: Mesoamerican Studies in Honor of H. B. Nicholson contains twenty-two original papers in tribute to H. B. "Nick" Nicholson, a pioneer of Mesoamerican research. His intellectual legacy is recognized by Mesoamerican archaeologists, art historians, ethnohistorians, and ethnographers--students, colleagues, and friends who derived inspiration and encouragement from him throughout their own careers. Each chapter, which presents original research inspired by Nicholson, pays tribute to the teacher, writer, lecturer, friend, and mentor who became a legend within his own lifetime. Covering all of Mesoamerica across all time periods, contributors include Patricia R. Anawalt, Alfredo López Austin, Anthony Aveni, Robert M. Carmack, David C. Grove, Richard D. Hansen, Leonardo López Luján, Kevin Terraciano, and more. Eloise Quiñones Keber provides a thorough biographical sketch, detailing Nicholson's academic and professional journey.

Lane discusses the great questions fundamental to the Church -- God, the Trinity, faith, salvation, the question of free will and the nature of the universe.

I dont know that it was ever my plan to write a book. Perhaps my pencil thought to do so, for it has watched, measured and faithfully recorded the joys, sorrows, searching and truths that have accompanied my days. My pencil seems to be the most honest part of me, for it is more discriminating in its thought processes; more discerning of Truth, values, choices and the reality with which they pave the path of our eternity. Not so prone to emotions, my pencil has not been afraid to ask the hard questions and record the journey that led to the specific insights and revelations that have continually shaped my thoughts, and thereby my choices and my life. I hope my pencil speaks to you in kind, opens your ear and your heart to the sound of another Voice; a Voice that speaks to your soul of things large and small, common and those thought impossible. It is my sincere hope that within my pages you will find a word fitly spoken, one that speaks challenge and hope to your soul, causes your countenance to be forever changed; for when we know change, we transform the circle of humanity entrusted to our care.

Why limit the only power that’s capable of doing far and above all that we could ever think or imagine? After reading this book, you will have the tools you need to navigate life with the Holy Spirit in the way that God always intended for you to have. In 2016, when Benny Tate decided to preach a sermon series on the Holy Spirit, He believed the Holy Spirit would come and bring great change. But He didn’t expect Him to change everything in his life as well and in the lives of his church staff and congregation! In Unlimited, Tate helps readers discover a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit and realize His importance in their daily lives. Focusing on our need of the Holy Spirit, as well as His presence, power, and role in equipping us to fulfill our purpose, this book will help readers grow and better relate to the third person of the Trinity. Providing real-life, practical applications and examples, Tate shows readers that when they allow the Holy Spirit to fill and direct their lives, everything will change: relationships will be healed, self-esteem will be lifted, purpose will be revealed, direction will become clear, hope will overflow, peace will reign in their hearts, and God’s goodness and faithfulness in their lives will be undeniable! Being filled daily by the Holy Spirit is the only satisfying source in life. The hardships and disappointments will drain us, but the Holy Spirit’s power is available to us every day because His power and presence are unlimited!

Now is the time To do whatever it is youve been too afraid or weak to do. To step into a greater position of authority and blessing. To be obedient to the Lord and fulfill your purpose. To witness to the lost and hopeless world around you. To walk in power and abide in the presence of the Lord. To stop being lukewarm in your relationship with Christ. To realize the influence you have on others. To be the one who chooses to rise up and speak out.
