The lyrics of our favorite hymns are rich in images that can help us in our daily walk with God--they are miniature Bible studies that lead us effortlessly toward worship; testimony; exhortation; prayer; and praise. Theyre bursts of devotional richness with rhyme and rhythm. They clear our minds; soothe our nerves; verbalize our worship; summarize our faith; and sing our great Redeemers praise. Bestselling author Robert J. Morgan has gathered 366 hymns; including favorites such as "Amazing Grace" and "Rock of Ages;" as well as classic; lesser-known gems such as "In the Garden" and "Teach Me to Pray."Each devotional begins with Scripture; includes a story about the hymn or its writer and the lyrics to the hymn; and ends with a prayer. An index of hymn titles and first lines is included. What better way to end your devotional reading than with a song in your heart?

Landscape. and Urban Design for Resilience to Climate ChangeDesign for Flooding authors Donald Watson. FAIA. and Michael Adams. P.E. declare that bad urban planning makes stream and river flooding worse than it was before trees and other natural ground cover were replaced by impermeable roads and parking lot surfaces. With the latter much heavy rain that should have been absorbed into the earth and stayed put causes streams to go over their banks seriously damaging terrain and buildings.The text details necessary landscape redesign methods to restore natural vegetation necessary for healthy ground levels that not only reduce stream levels but act as saturated ground water reservoir benefit for times of drought. Droughts are another worldwide climate change atmospheric energy increae manifestation. Global warming increases atmospheric energy conditions making many differant weather events worse than otherwise such as huricanes. tornadoes. and even winter blizzards.The book also covers the dangers of coastal flooding that threatens more than 40% of the US population and billions of people worldwide who live in flood plains. These need to raise their homes high enough to avoid both the sea level that is rising yearly plus storm surges that can reach up to twenty-five feet above each high tide. Buildings can also be moved to higher ground. Sadly. in many locations there is no higher ground. The text offers rescue design possibilites that include home pontoon floating methods.Home owners and urban planners should benefit by reading this book that can be purchased from at reduced prices.William S.

OutstandingBy Helmut G.A very clear explanation of climate. weather. and land use trends that explain why we are experiencing extreme flooding. I also like the clear-headed description of options and actions we can take. Illustrations worth the price of admission.
