Alpha Omega

After studying and preaching Revelation, Don English was left with many unanswered questions. Given an opportunity by God, he spent a full year studying only Revelation: reading, praying, and asking God for answers. Believing that God, through his Holy Spirit, had given him some answers that he could not find elsewhere, Don determined to put these answers onto paper; and so, Alpha, Omega, Alpha was born. A practical, common sense approach to the book of Revelation, Alpha, Omega, Alpha is a must-read for serious Bible students and new Christians alike. Using sound interpretation principles, this book will challenge the reader to read more critically the information that God gave to his apostle John. Follow along with the author as he reveals the meanings and messages behind the events—from the resurrection of the dead and the seven seals to the final battle and the final judgment—in one of the Bible's most important books. Alpha, Omega, Alpha will give the reader the zeal and the desire to further study and understand the message from the hand of God.

John F. Kerry United States Senator If we are to reinvigorate and reinforce civic participation in this country at a time when our society is increasingly fragmented and highly technologically based, we must find a way to unite distinct communities, such as universities, regional and non-profit organizations, and families. We must find ways to link academicians, students, teachers, and professionals with the reality of events and circumstances so that theories and ideas mightily pursued within the "ivory tower" are connected to social reality and useful. As the editors and contributors in this volume point out, the way to bridge theory/practice divide is not merely to interpret and report on circumstances of the real-world; but rather, to deconstruct the separate and distinct communities that exist within our society and actively engage other communities to realize a continuum of mutual understanding, collaboration, and action. It is crucial to include our nation's public schools in this new approach of social inquiry and social action. Improving and creating educational opportunity for all children in the United States has been an ongoing critical federal issue. We know that when children achieve in school they have a much greater chance of living healthy, productive adult lives that will benefit themselves and society, and we know that increasing the base of stakeholders in children's education yields those positive results.
