In this book Perry Stone makes the correlation between the Judas goat (a goat who is trained to work in slaughterhouses, leading sheep to their death) and the people in our lives who betray us, demonstrating the biblical way to overcome these betrayals and find the strength to forgive"-- Provided by publisher.

I wish to dedicate this book to the greatest woman I have ever known, my lovely companion, Pam. Many people who do not know her background are unaware of the difficult circumstances she encountered as a young teenager, including the divorce of her parents and how a church family took her and her two sisters into their home to live, treating them as their own daughters. Her biological father neither attended her wedding nor walked her down the aisle, yet she has never allowed her past circumstances to determine her future. Since the age of seventeen she has matured into a strong woman of faith and is truly my Proverbs 31 woman—I love her dearly. By her example she has taught others to move on past hurts, betrayals, and disappointments and to live in righteousness and peace—a peace that no man or woman can take from you. She is deserving of great honor as a great woman of God for this generation. Love you always, Pam, Perry Contents Introduction 1 Sleeping With a Goat in Your Bed 2 The Betraying Strategy of a Judas Goat 3 When Believers Sin Against Other Believers 4 Who Is Sitting in Your Third Chair? 5 I Heard What You Said in Your Tent 6 Having Right Eyes With the Wrong Brain 7 When Satan Fell From Heaven, He Landed in My Choir 8 Believers Who Are Vexed by a Devil 9 Restoring Fallen Ministers and Church Members 10 Wounded in the House of My Friend 11 The Rise of the Brotherhood of Blood 12 The Power of Life and Death Is in Your Mouth 13 Seasons in the Life of a Sheep 14 Relief Given by Confession 15 Dropping Crosses Notes Introduction INEVER WILL FORGET a very sad phone call in February of 1990. Our son was about two months old, and my wife, Pam, and I were staying in the pastor’s home while conducting an annual revival in Deland, Florida. The voice on the other end of the phone informed us of a tragedy in Alabama. We learned that Pam’s closest friend, a precious Italian girl in her early twenties named Tracy, had been instantly killed in a car wreck. To say we were stunned and in total shock is an understatement. We immediately called the family for details, left the revival, and made plans to attend the home-going ceremony near Sumiton, Alabama. Losing your best friend at such an early age was not ever supposed to occur. Tracy had already told Pam she was moving to Cleveland to be close to her and to be in Jonathan’s life as his “nanny.” While Pam had numerous female friends from Alabama, weeks after the funeral I could see the friendship void created by Tracy’s death. My wife is much more relationship driven than me, and I began praying for the Lord to send someone to become as close a friend as Tracy had been to Pam. As time passed, another young woman moved to town who was well received as a friend by Pam and by my little son, Jonathan. For several months things were going well, and I began to be grateful that finally Pam had a female friend she could hang with, share her burdens with, and just chill out with at times. However, as months passed, the experience with this person proved every person must be cautious as to whom you allow into the inner circle of your friendships. As humans, we often fill our friendship voids by inviting a first-chair person to sit in our third chair. (See chapter 4, “Who Is Sitting in Your Third Chair?”, for detailed understanding.) The friendship abruptly ended in what I term as a betrayal. Personally I can handle an individual turning against me and I can move on, as I have dealt with negative attitudes and opinions since I was eighteen years of age, but in this case I was very upset that my sweet wife was emotionally hurt by words and actions. (I won’t go into detail beyond this point.) For months following, I saw Pam put up a trust barrier. She remained a loving wife and mother, but with the exception of a few staff persons, she did not seek out new friendships. Time passed, and today she has long been removed from any hurt, has erased all possible offense, and has moved forward to become a spiritual mother to a generation of youth. Today she has more true friends than she can keep up with. She has learned, “Forgive and go on.” I identify the act of a person betraying another with what I call the Judas goat. When I say the phrase, “He (or she) is a Judas goat,” is there a person or persons you know who immediately enter your mind? Christians know from the New Testament that Judas was an inner-circle-apostle-turned-traitor who betrayed Christ to the Jewish religious leaders. So, who in the church has hurt you recently? As a fourth-generation minister, I believe we could label various members in most churches as the odd flock. The church is called the “flock of God” (1 Pet. 5:2–3), with sheep being a metaphor for the members and a shepherd the metaphor for pastors (John 10:11–14). We are an odd flock, consisting of sheep, goats, a few barking dogs, and occasional stray pigs. Using the animal metaphor, sheep are believers who faithfully follow the shepherd and enjoy grouping in flocks with other sheep, grazing the green pastures, and drinking from the “living water” of the Holy Spirit (John 4:10). The goats are also a part of any flock grazers and are often seen in Israel intermingling in the same green grass with the sheep. However, because goats and sheep have different personalities, goats often graze among their own groups, as goats tend to be moody. On the more negative side, a dog is considered a backslider whose actions of turning away from Christ are as a metaphor of a dog returning to his own vomit (2 Pet. 2:22). In the New Testament a swine is a person who is more of a spiritual apostate. We read where Christ instructed: Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. —MATTHEW 7:6 The idea of spiritual goats in a church has always been intriguing to me, having come from a fourth-generation ministry heritage and being a pastor’s son. When Dad would encounter a very disgruntled and overly opinionated church member, we kids would often call them “an old goat,” not out of disrespect or due to a person’s age, but a term to identify a person who was always butting heads with everyone and nosing into situations where they were not invited. They gave opinions to questions they were never asked and sought attention to soothe their feelings of neglect.

  • UCLA Historical Journal
    UCLA Historical Journal The Fiction of Difference: The Afrikaner in British Adventure Fiction By Todd Lee The imperial encounter proved an undeniable obsession to British authors, publishers, and readers alike. The success of David Livingstone's Missionary Travels in 1857 sparked an entire genre of travel literature by missionaries, soldiers and explorers that continued in popularity until at least the end of the century. Britons seemed to thrive on the vicarious excitement and exoticism of their wandering countrymen's diaries and journals. Alongside these arose a new literary genre, the adventure novel. Its primary function was, of course, entertainment. Yet adventure fiction could also be bent to serve the ends of patriotism and imperialism. What better method to inform British subjects of their fast-growing empire than an exciting novel, set in an exotic locale, which could entertain as well as instruct? These tales were potential tools in the construction of a national mood supportive of imperialism. Novelists worked to construct a fiction of difference which delineated British colonizers from their native counterparts throughout the world, forming a justification for colonization and imperial domination. This popular strain of adventure fiction formed an important component of what John MacKenzie has styled an "imperial nationalism" in late nineteenth- century Britain "through which the British defined their superiority vis-a-vis the rest of the world." When Britain went to war against the Afrikaner republics for control of the valuable gold and diamond reserves of southern Africa, novelists took up the cause, establishing a series of negative stereotypes of Britain's enemy. These stereotypes further served to enhance a British self-image as a sober, industrious people whose national character had earned them the right to rule over other, less economically, scientifically and morally advanced peoples.

    n a time of tsunamic ideological shifts, in which audacious propa- gandists are relentlessly engaged in frenzied efforts to rewrite the The Judas Goats facts of history, to challenge these truth-twisters Michael Collins The shocking story Piper arrives: the American Voltaire, an enlightened thinker and polemicist who has no fear of confronting harsh realities, doing so of the infiltration Iwith elegance and verve. In recent years Piper has emerged as the unrivaled ambassador of the and subversion American nationalist movement to peoples all across the planet: from Moscow to Abu Dhabi to Kuala Lumpur and on to Tokyo and Toronto. In no uncertain terms, he has issued a clarion call—a rallying cry—for all of of the American us to join together, to reclaim our heritage and to sweep away the cor- ruption of international capital and the consequent malign force that’s nationalist movement come in its wake, driving our world to the brink of nuclear annihilation. Piper’s message is loud and clear: Real Americans do not support the Zionist scheme to exploit America’s military might to conquer the globe; that good people who oppose the Zionist Imperium must put aside dif- ferences and close ranks, united for the final battle. Passionate, making no pretense of being without bias, Piper identifies and savages those who manifest attitudes of open hatred for nationalism and freedom. Having TheThe fashioned historical writing into an art form, Piper has few peers. Nor are there many who speak truth to power as Piper does so well.

  • The Judas Goat
    The Judas Goat By Robert B. Parker (Spenser 05) Copyright (c) 1978 1 Hugh Dixon’s home sat on a hill in Weston and looked out over the low Massachusetts hills as if asphalt had not been invented yet. It was a big fieldstone house that looked like it ought to have vineyards, and the front entrance was porticoed. It didn’t look like the kind of place where they have much truck with private cops, but you can’t judge a house by its portico. I parked in the lower parking lot as befitted my social status and climbed the winding drive to the house. Birds sang. Somewhere out of sight on the grounds I could hear a hedge being clipped. The bell made the standard high-tone chime sound in the house when I pushed the button, and while I waited for a servant to let me in I checked my appearance reflected in the full-length windows on each side of the door. There was no way to tell, looking at me, that I only had $387 in the bank. Three-piece white linen suit, blue striped shirt, white silk tie and mahogany loafers with understated tassels that Gucci would have sold his soul for. Maybe Dixon could hire me to stand around and dress up the place. As long as I kept my coat buttoned you couldn’t see the gun. The servant who answered was Asian and male. He wore a white coat and black trousers. I gave him my card and he let me stand in the foyer while he went and showed it to someone.

    FREE THE PROFESSIONAL (A SPENSER MYSTERY) PDF Robert B. Parker | 304 pages | 02 Jul 2010 | Quercus Publishing | 9781849162234 | English | London, United Kingdom Spenser - Book Series In Order I turned 47 in February, so it was high time for a mid-life crisis. Rather than searching for an inappropriately young girlfriend or impulse buying a European sports car, I read all the books by Robert B. Parker starring Spenser, the tough but fair Boston private eye who saves lost souls and kills bad guys with the help with his girlfriend, refined therapist Susan Silverman, and his partner, the fashionable and street-wise Hawk. InRobert B. Both Marlowe and Spenser were Elizabethan poets. The Godwulf Manuscript was a hit, and Parker would go on to write 38 more Spenser books credited with helping revive and define the genre. The novels of Agatha Christie The Professional (A Spenser Mystery) Rex Stout are still around, dated as they may be, while someone like Erle Stanley Gardner would be almost entirely forgotten if it were not for the television productions starring Perry Mason. From my vantage point it seems like the posthumous reputation of Donald E. Westlake keeps holding some ground, while the work of his peer Ed McBain is receding into history. Will Robert B. Parker stand the test of time? What was edgy or advanced in the s or s is trite or even embarrassing today, and presumably that condition will only worsen as society keeps evolving. If the books do stay in circulation, it is going to be for witty dialogue between opponents, the rise and fall of tension in a fight scene, the technical details of how to take on armed posse when the opponents already know to expect trouble.
