Say goodbye to calorie counting with this revolutionary weight-loss method. Macronutrients or 'macros' are the three main nutrient groups your body can't live without: carbohydrates, fats and protein. So many diets focus on calorie counting, but not all calories are created equal: your body doesn't process 20 calories of kale and 20 calories of chocolate in the same way because of their different macro breakdowns. Macro counting is all about balance. By eating the right ratio of carbohydrates, fats and protein, you can lose weight and build muscle in a healthy, sustainable way without avoiding the foods you love. This flexible approach to dieting encourages you to make smart food choices that guarantee results. The Macro Method will tell you everything you need to know about counting macros, including the latest research about how the diet works and its nutritional benefits. The 21-day plan will help you ditch the calorie counting for good, with more than 40 simple recipes to tempt you.

Some preachers are tares; some preachers are wheat. Tares and wheat will grow together until harvest time (Matthew 13:24-30). We shall know them by the fruits of their lips. This book shows, with Bible-based analytical details, how to know and disregard their false messages. Every teaching in Christian scripture, written by men, is inspired by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21). There is a passage of scripture written by God himself. This passage is under attack by an agency of the devil, who "thinks to change times and laws" (Daniel 7:25). Satan gave this agent "his power, his seat, and great authority" (Revelation 13:2). This book shows with Bible-based analytical details and church history, who this Satan's agent is, and how his ministers disguise themselves (2 Corinthians 11:14, 15). They all preach Satan's salvation on God's pulpits. They can be found planted by Satan, in every good or bad church, since tares and wheat will grow together until harvest time. What about the heaven bound 144,000 followers of Jesus Christ? The clear scriptures show who they are-no private interpretation! We show the calculation from Bible data, the historicity of the pre-flood world, Noah's ark, and how they could have been communicated directly by Noah and Shem, twenty years into the life of Jacob, who later lived in Egypt, in Africa. We can see where Cain could have gotten his wife. The truth shall prevail and keep us unspotted by false preachers and their smooth talking. We should find out how these deceitful agents try to envelop us and avoid their deceptions. By God's grace, we can avoid their deceptions or confusion! We wish to see you in heaven; please wish us the same.

Elizabeth's story is like that of a garden left untended for too long, with weeds as bounteous as blossoms and stone walkways buried beneath tangled vines and daffodils. Beauty to be found, though amidst much neglect. When betrayal strikes at the heart of her very existence, Elizabeth Landis retraces the path of her life and her marriage, discovering along the way memories both painful to the touch and a joy to embrace. Pruning the garden of her life requires an honesty new to Elizabeth, but offers the promise of mercy...and perhaps even a grace to bestow.
The ethnically diverse scope, broad chronological coverage, and mix of biographical, critical, historical, political, and cultural entries make this the most useful and exciting poetry reference of its kind for students today. American poetry springs up out of all walks of life; its poems are "maternal as well as paternal...stuff'd with the stuff that is coarse and stuff'd with the stuff that is fine," as Walt Whitman wrote, adding "Of every hue and caste am I, of every rank and religion." Written for high school and undergraduate students, this two-volume encyclopedia covers U.S. poetry from the Colonial era to the present, offering full treatments of hundreds of key poets of the American canon. What sets this reference apart is that it also discusses events, movements, schools, and poetic approaches, placing poets in their social, historical, political, cultural, and critical contexts and showing how their works mirror the eras in which they were written. Readers will learn about surrealism, ekphrastic poetry, pastoral elegy, the Black Mountain poets, and "language" poetry. There are long and rich entries on modernism and postmodernism as well as entries related to the formal and technical dimensions of American poetry. Particular attention is paid to women poets and poets from various ethnic groups. Poets such as Amiri Baraka, Nathaniel Mackey, Natasha Trethewey, and Tracy Smith are featured. The encyclopedia also contains entries on a wide selection of Latino and Native American poets and substantial coverage of the avant-garde and experimental movements and provides sidebars that illuminate key points.
