Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The book of Revelation becomes a living drama of love, justice, power, and destiny as Dr. Robert McCan helps the reader understand its mystical imagery and symbolic language. Revelation is the story of how God intends to fulfill the prayer Jesus taught his disciples: "Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." Dr. McCan is a modern scholar who combines a judicious skepticism with profound appreciation for scripture. He illumines the Old Testament background, the symbolic language and the prophetic voice of John, the author of Revelation. Throughout his book Dr. McCan points to the various ways the themes of Revelation have been interpreted historically and how they can be interpreted for the 21st century. At the conclusion of each chapter are questions to facilitate use of the book for individual or group Bible study. In his introduction Dr. McCan invites the reader to consider different approaches to the interpretation of Revelation, perhaps the most mysterious book of the Bible. Dr. McCan then provides further background, historical context, and a detailed commentary on each chapter in Revelation. The Book of Revelation was written to seven churches on the west coast of what is now Turkey. Christians were facing the crisis of persecution and even martyrdom if they refused to participate in emperor worship. Revelation was written primarily to give superhuman courage to early Christians in the face of persecution. Its message nevertheless applies to 21st century Christians who also face apparently insurmountable problems-inconceivably destructive weapons of war, ecological degradation and climate change, and social and economic systems rooted in greed and exploitation. The first chapter of Revelation portrays Christ in all of his power and glory standing among the seven churches, guiding the destiny of humanity. Chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation contain letters written by John to each of the seven churches. His detailed description of their circumstances and his words of challenge and comfort demonstrate his intimate knowledge of the churches. In chapters 4 and 5 of Revelation John moves away from the persecution on earth to a vision of heaven, with the "great company of heaven" singing an exultant hymn of praise to God for His work of creation. This is followed by a hymn to Christ for his redemption of humanity. Christians are shown that Caesar's power is ultimately very limited in the presence of this immense love. Chapters 6-18 present visions of seven seals opened, seven trumpets sounded, and seven bowls of wrath poured out. These symbolize God's partial judgments on unjust rulers and systems of governance. The visions of destruction are meant to be calls to repentance-until the seventh trumpet sounds and a final judgment is pronounced. Chapters 18-22 deal with the end of history. Satan is chained. Seven different visions of Christ's return are presented, each relating to an Old Testament prophecy and bringing a new insight. Dr. McCan concludes that God is waiting for our human response before determining the fate of history. Either "the kingdom of the world [must] become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah," a global community of humanity, or the scroll of history will be rolled up and life on earth will end. Finally, a New Jerusalem comes down from heaven. Jesus's prayer is answered and God's kingdom comes on earth. The New Jerusalem naturally includes the Jewish people, but its doors are also wide open to welcome every tribe and people and religious expression. Dr. McCan's Afterword is a call to 21st century Christians to become "sacred activists" working as co-creators with God to bring God's kingdom on earth. Appendices go deeper into the history of Hebrew apocalyptic literature and an examination of "end time prophesies" in contemporary fundamentalist churches.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the most dramatic and hard-fought political battle of our time-after decades of failed attempts by both Democratic and Republican presidents-Democrats in 2010 finally succeeded in passing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). With all of its length and complexity, it had three simple objectives: (1) provide quality health insurance for every citizen, (2) improve the quality of health care for every person, and (3) bring health care costs under control. Democrats demonstrated their commitment to making quality affordable health care available to every American through their years of thorough study and tough negotiations to get the ACA through Congress. They were driven by the humane desire to eliminate the old "pay or die" system in which Americans in ever increasing numbers were priced out of the market. At the same time, they shared a practical commitment to shaping a law that would keep money in the national treasury and in the threadbare pockets of the American people. Republicans constantly proclaim themselves as the "fiscally responsible" party trying to balance the national budget. They portray Democrats as the party of "tax and spend." The very different approaches of the two parties to a national health care system reveal that nothing could be further from the truth. Democrats approach this task with an eye to expanding coverage and improving the quality of care while lowering costs. Republicans-committed to unfettered profit-taking within the "free market" capitalist system-oppose virtually every cost-saving measure in the Affordable Care Act. Democrats' primary client is the American people. Republicans' primary client is the Medical-Industrial Complex. Their clear agenda is to get the best deal possible for providers of health care at the expense of the people. Very few of us are aware of the many ways the Affordable Act is designed to save money. The law is complex and is hard to explain in sound bites. The citizenry does not have enough accurate information to counter Republican scare tactics. Dr. McCan's series of books about the Affordable Care Act is designed to educate civic-minded citizens about the many facets of health care reform that are not widely understood by the public. This 2016 Election Edition focuses on cost containment and highlights the many fascinating cost saving aspects of the law that have received little or no press coverage. It also points to remaining obstacles to full effectiveness of the law and what well-informed, vigilant citizens can do to protect health care reform from co-option by special interests.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. How do we create a health care system that includes every citizen, improves health outcomes, and reins in escalating costs? Dr. McCan shows how the new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA), called "Obamacare" by some, addresses these three fundamental concerns. Learn about the most far-reaching legislation of our time--as important for every American as Medicare is for senior citizens. Understand how the reforms build on the existing components of our system and provide for continuous improvement. Appreciate the political context and background of the legislation. Learn about and compare other countries' health care systems with our own. Consider the moral issues. Help prevent co-option of the reform legislation by special interests. Examine the Republican response. Detect misinformation and duplicity. Share a vision of how we can create a more humane and sustainable society. Dr. McCan presents complex information in a clear, factual, yet highly engaging way. He invites citizens to become informed and serve as advocates. He reminds them that a Republican victory in November would probably lead to repeal of this historic and live-giving legislation. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the most far-reaching legislation of this generation.

Equally important, learn about creating public policy that serves the common good.
