"In order to develop an intimate relationship with Jesus, we need to reevaluate our perception about the Holy Spirit," states author Tommy Almonte in his new release, The God That I Know: A Journey to Intimacy. Almonte chronicles his journey towards greater intimacy with the Holy Spirit and how the Holy Spirit radically transformed his life. He writes: "I have come to understand that the pursuit of intimacy in a relationship is like water or oxygen to our bodies. The desire and pursuit of intimacy keeps a relationship alive. As time passes by, intimacy in a relationship becomes the road map to a long and happy friendship and life." Written in an easy-to-read style, this book is formatted in six different sections, including a study guide that allows readers to go deeper into the concepts highlighted in the book. Among the many topics covered in The God That I Know: A Journey to Intimacy are: How to develop a relationship with the Holy Spirit The personality of the Holy Spirit Requirements for intimacy with the Holy Spirit What God expects from our relationship with Him About the author: Tommy Almonte is a native of the Dominican Republic. His family relocated to the United States when he was very young. Tommy has devoted his life to helping others develop a closer relationship with God, and he has developed curricula and classes for this purpose. He and his wife, Theresa, reside in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with their daughter, Sophia.
The little eastern Ontario town of Almonte has produced two giants in the field of athletics. Neither was a world champion, neither was an Olympic medallist, but each in his own way transformed the sports world. Both were pioneers in the development of physical education as a serious academic discipline. James Naismith contributed his own invention, basketball, to the modern world. R. Tait McKenzie left a timeless legacy in his considerable body of work in bronze sculpture, especially of athletic subjects.
If everyone was killed inside the Alamo, how do we know what happened? This surprisingly simple question was the genesis for Todd Hansen's compendium of source material on the subject, "The Alamo Reader". Utilising obscure and rare sources along with key documents never before published, Hansen carefully balances the accounts against one another, culminating in the definitive resource for Alamo history.
In late 1833 Mexico began to have serious fears that its northeastern territory in Texas would be lost to North American colonists. To determine the actual state of affairs, Mexico sent Col. Juan N. Almonte to Texas on an inspection -- the last conducted by a high-ranking Mexican official before revolution separated Texas from Mexico. Upon his return to the Mexican capital in November 1834, Almonte wrote a secret report of the measures necessary to avoid the loss of Texas -- a report that has been unknown to scholars or the general public. Here it is presented in English for the first time, along with more than fifty letters that Almonte wrote during his inspection. This documentation offers crucial new insights on Texas affairs and will change the way historians regard Mexico's attitudes toward the foreign colonists and their revolution of 1835-1836. When Santa Anna marched an army north to crush the Texas rebellion, Almonte was by his side as a special adviser. He kept a journal, lost at the Battle of San Jacinto, which is presented here with full annotation. Almonte's role in the 1836 campaign is examined, as well as his subsequent activities that relate to Texas. Through Almonte's Texas we gain an overdue appreciation of this man who played a leading role in the history of Texas and Mexico. As James E. Crisp said in his review of this work: "This is a fascinating, revelatory, and highly satisfying book for anyone interested in the real meat of the story of the Texas Revolution -- in all its political, military and diplomatic dimensions. The editors have put Almonte in the center of this story of Texas in the 1830s and 40s, and that's exactly where he belongs. Bravo!"
This book offers a complete overview of the contributions of U.S. Latinos to American popular culture and examines the emergence of the U.S. Latino identity. According to the 2010 Census, Latinos represent more than 16 percent of the total population and are the largest and fastest-growing minority group in the United States. Their vast contributions to popular culture are visible in nearly every aspect of American life and are as diverse as the countries and cultures of origin with which Latinos identify themselves. This book provides a historical overview of the developments in U.S. Latino culture and highlights the most recent expressions of Latino life in American popular culture. With coverage of topics like Latino representations in television, radio, film, and theater; U.S. Latino literature and art; Latino sports stars in baseball, basketball, boxing, football, and soccer; and contemporary pop music; this book will appeal to general readers and be a useful and engaging resource for high school and college students. The work examines the cultural ties that U.S. Latinos maintain with their country of origin or that of their ancestors, explains why language is a critical cultural marker for Latinos, and identifies how Latinos are changing American popular culture. Insightful information on U.S. Latino identity issues and prevalent cultural stereotypes is also included.
