Individual lifespan on Planet Earth is limited. But given favourable circumstances eternity of family life is assured if biology is allowed to have its way. The organic ovum and sperm are designed for eternity and should not be thwarted. Distractions that would divert them are threatening death on the planet. Love and family provide the foundation for life everlasting. Humanity’s embrace of it by biological partnership is awesome and rewards us with solid happiness in the individual lifespan.

The prostate is pivotal in a man’s sexual health. A prostate free of infection and other preventable problems is vital to a healthy and happy sex life. The sex life of his partner is similarly ensured to be happy and contented. It assumes that the partner takes every precaution to be healthy as well. Love is the best foundation on which to build happiness. And a love partnership is the most valuable asset in a relationship. The prostate however is only one item, perhaps the central one, in the male sexual armamentarium. It complains the most when it is not healthy. A healthy prostate will reward both partners with the greatest sexual happiness available in this mortal life.

JESUS OF BETHLEHEM -- DAVIDIC KING OF THE JEWS is the culmination of a private odyssey, one that has consumed my whole personal life. Introduced to Christianity by two devout Christian parents, I determined to follow a conviction in me inspired by the life and teachings of Jesus. As a medical doctor I did not travel in ignorance of science. As a devout believer in God I marvel along my continuing medical journey at the wondrousness of the human body and the ravaging challenges to it in existence. Human frailty solidified my faith in God to bring a solution and this I found in Judeo-Christianity. What medical marvels my fraternity has accomplished I consider band aid solutions, since we all face eventual death. The Judeo-Christian Faith offers the full solution to this dilemma in the redemption God has provided in His own incarnation, known to us as Jesus Christ. I give Him His Biblical title based on the Old and New Testaments: Jesus of Bethlehem - Davidic King of the Jews. In Him alone will humanity find the longed for perfection and immortality.

The Hebrew Messiah: The Glory and Triumph of Israel takes seriously the witness in the Tanakthe books of teaching, the prophets, and the writingsthat Judaism receives as its Scripture. It listens to that witness to discover the truth of the Hebrew Messiah. Drawing upon study inspired by an intense interest to explore and appreciate the riches of Judaism, Allan Russell Juriansz has poured his findings into this exploration of the crucial role of Ha-Mashiach, the Messiah, in the Tanaks works that span a millennium of Jewish life and reflection. The exploration of The Hebrew Messiah begins by sketching out the contemporary scholarly climate in Judaism. Then it conducts a detailed survey of the witness to the Messiah in the Tanak, particularly in its prophetic writings. Next, it examines the place of this witness to the Hebrew Messiah in the life of modern Jewry. Finally, The Hebrew Messiah concludes by celebrating the good news that Ha-Mashiach is the glory and triumph of Israel. The Hebrew Messiah: The Glory and Triumph of Israel will satisfy the curiosity of all who desire to know how intimately and extensively the witness to the Messiah is woven through the tapestry of the Tanak. It will speak to members of the modern Jewish community who desire to take a fresh look at the foundations of their faith. Finally, it will offer Christians the blueprint for their understanding of the Messiah available to them. He is the Hebrew Messiah, Israels glory and triumph.

COLONIAL MIXED BLOOD The navies built by the Arabs and King Solomon plied the oceans long ago. The Portuguese, Dutch, and British followed suit, and eventually the oceans were mastered. The colonial age came into being and brought with it increased movements of people and the mixing of genes. In Colonial Mixed Blood, author Allan Russell Juriansz, who was born in Sri Lanka, provides an account of this occurrence with reference to the Portuguese, Dutch, and British who colonized Sri Lanka for the period of the past five hundred years. The story begins in Riga, Latvia, in the late 1400s and centres on the Ondatjes and the Juriansz clan, their love story, their immersion in Christianity, and their struggles to survive the forces of colonialism and find happiness. A blend of history and fiction, Colonial Mixed Blood provides a background of the religious forces at work during this time in Europe and outlines the genealogy and life experiences of Jurianszs family as part of the colonial activity of the Dutch East India Company in Sri Lanka. They inherited an adventurous spirit from their first Dutch ancestors, and this spirit inspired their diaspora. But it was one hundred and fifty years of intense British influence that transformed them into loyal British subjects.

Primitive Judaism is the earliest system of thought that sought to explain the concepts of divinity, humanity, and life on the planet. What''s more, it is Moses who deserves the credit for the systematization of basic, primitive Tanakian Judaism. In King David''s Naked Dance, author Allan Russell Juriansz defines the primitive theology of Tanakian Judaism that obeys the Tanak as the sole canon of the Hebrew people. A sequel to Juriansz'' first book The Fair Dinkum Jew, which calls for a reformation in Israel and worldwide Jewry King David''s Naked Dance sends a message to the Hebrew people to relearn Tanakian Judaism and live by it. Using the writing of several Talmudic rabbis and Jewish reformers, Juriansz presents a discussion of the Tanak as the only sacred canon and shows its messages of the work of God to create, redeem, and glorify His world and His people. King David''s Naked Dance calls for the world''s Jewry and Israel to unite in the primitive Judaism, a splendid redemptive religion that needs to be embraced, defended, and propagated.
