Uriyah the Hittite is a narrative of Gods call on a man, of his heeding the call, of his integrity and the price he paid. The narrative opens in the land of the Hittites with Zohar, a Hittite charioteer, driving his chariot across the Anatolian Plateau towards the Taurus Mountains. Zohar, whose father was a shepherd, has been fashioned by war into a skilled soldier and Chariot Squadron Commander in the Army of the Hittites. Follow his journey from being a pagan, dedicated at birth to a demonic entity and then set free by the grace and love of God. God gives Zohar a new name Uriyah (Yahweh is my Light) and calls him. Uriyah immediately heeds the call. Travelling from the land of the Hittites to Israel, Uriyah encounters life changing adventures, rescues some of Gods people and experiences profound and insightful conversations. In Israel, he journeys to Jerusalem and to new opportunities and relationships. He discovers romance and Gods rendezvous, encounters and destroys the works of darkness, performs heroic deeds as one of King Davids mighty men and knows betrayal, heavenly lights and freedom. The mighty men, warriors (of David were) ... Uriyah the Hittite. 1 Chronicles 11:26,41

Blending the spirit of Eats, Shoots & Leaves with the science of The Language Instinct, an original inquiry into the development of that most essential-and mysterious-of human creations: Language Language is mankind's greatest invention-except, of course, that it was never invented." So begins linguist Guy Deutscher's enthralling investigation into the genesis and evolution of language. If we started off with rudimentary utterances on the level of "man throw spear," how did we end up with sophisticated grammars, enormous vocabularies, and intricately nuanced degrees of meaning? Drawing on recent groundbreaking discoveries in modern linguistics, Deutscher exposes the elusive forces of creation at work in human communication, giving us fresh insight into how language emerges, evolves, and decays. He traces the evolution of linguistic complexity from an early "Me Tarzan" stage to such elaborate single-word constructions as the Turkish sehirlilestiremediklerimizdensiniz ("you are one of those whom we couldn't turn into a town dweller"). Arguing that destruction and creation in language are intimately entwined, Deutscher shows how these processes are continuously in operation, generating new words, new structures, and new meanings. As entertaining as it is erudite, The Unfolding of Language moves nimbly from ancient Babylonian to American idiom, from the central role of metaphor to the staggering triumph of design that is the Semitic verb, to tell the dramatic story and explain the genius behind a uniquely human faculty.

Lost to history for millennia, the Hittites have regained their position among the great civilizations of the Late Bronze Age Near East, thanks to a century of archaeological discovery and philological investigation. The Hittites and Their World provides a concise, current, and engaging introduction to the history, society, and religion of this Anatolian empire, taking the reader from its beginnings in the period of the Assyrian Colonies in the nineteenth century B.C.E. to the eclipse of the Neo-Hittite cities at the end of the eighth century B.C.E. The numerous analogues with the biblical world featured throughout the volume together represent a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the varied and significant contributions of Hittite studies to biblical interpretation.

"The Ancient World" (Paleolithic Age—500 B.C.) covers the period from the dark prehistory of the Paleolithic Age to the development of the earliest centers of civilization in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley. The lives of hunter-gatherers, the agricultural revolution, and the rise of the world's first cities are all vividly depicted in this richly illustrated text. Challenging map exercises and provocative review questions encourage meaningful reflection and historical analysis. Tests and answer keys are included.
