Introducing a new line of canvas Bibles for teens called Zips. Each Zips Bible has a fashionable and practical zipper closure that not only accents the cover design, but also keeps the Bible pages protected. This compact Bible is perfect for the active lifestyle of today's teens. Features include a presentation page, colored page edges, the full text of the New Living Translation, plus 26 pages of extra material in the front to help teens know more about the Bible and God's plan for their lives. The New Living Translation is an authoritative Bible translation, rendered faithfully into today's English from the ancient texts by 90 leading Bible scholars. The NLT's scholarship and clarity breathe life into even the most difficult-to-understand Bible passages--but even more powerful are stories of how people's lives are changing as the words speak directly to their hearts. That's why we call it "The Truth Made Clear."

This volume is a history of the Japanese drive for the conquest of Greater East Asia. It includes an account of the Malayan campaign and the Fall of Singapore, followed by an outline of the dominant features of the campaign in S E Asia and the Pacific and ending with the attack on Japan and the unconditional surrender. As a prisoner in Tokyo, the author was able to observe the reactions of the people and the government to the bombing of Japan, and by revealing their overwhelming defeat, to dispose of the fiction that surrender was brought about by two atomic bombs. The outstanding value of the work is its analysis of the fundamental problems of Japan.
