One in every seven flowering plants on earth is an orchid. Yet orchids retain an air of exotic mystery—and they remain remarkably misunderstood and underappreciated. The orchid family contains an astonishing array of colors, forms, and smells that captivate growers from all walks of life across the globe. Though undeniably elegant, the popular moth orchid—a grocery store standard—is a bland stand-in when compared with its thousands of more complex and fascinating brethren, such as the Demon Queller, which grows in dark forests where its lovely blooms are believed to chase evil forces away. There is the Fetid Sun-God, an orchid that lures female flies to lay their eggs on its flowers by emitting a scent of rancid cheese. Or the rare, delicate Lizard Orchid, which mimics the appearance of lizards but smells distinctly of goat. The Book of Orchids revels in the diversity and oddity of these beguiling plants. Six hundred of the world’s most intriguing orchids are displayed, along with life-size photographs that capture botanical detail, as well as information about distribution, peak flowering period, and each species’ unique attributes, both natural and cultural. With over 28,000 known species—and more being discovered each year—the orchid family is arguably the largest and most geographically widespread of the flowering plant families. Including the most up-to-date science and accessibly written by botanists Mark Chase, Maarten Christenhusz, and Tom Mirenda, each entry in The Book of Orchids will entice researchers and orchid enthusiasts alike. With stunning full-color images, The Book of Orchids is sure to become the go-to reference for these complex, alluring, and extraordinarily adaptable plants.

Set against the backdrop of a British golf club, with some dark humor it explores the vital issues of a club golfer; handicaps, gadgets, club life.

There is a debate going on here in North American Christianity. One side, the side that doesn't practice deliverance, is saying: "A Christian can't have demons-he just needs to go to church more and read his Bible more." The other side, the ministries of deliverance, are saying: "We don't have time to debate with you. We are too busy ministering deliverance to Christians." The Children's Bread thoroughly examines this debate through the lens of Scripture as well as practical evidence. Mark Chase finds: - The Bible does not teach that all demons leave at conversion. - There is no Scripture that says that Christians cannot have demons. - The Biblical concept of man's tripartite nature shows how born-again individuals can simultaneously have the indwelling Holy Spirit and a demon. - The Bible teaches the overriding principle that: God delivers those who belong to Him. - Most Christians cannot find help in their churches. As a result, they have to go to deliverance ministries to receive the healing and deliverance that God promises. - The only ones who say that Christians cannot have demons are precisely the ones who do not sit with others to conduct deliverance in the first place. MARK CHASE is a deliverance minister who heads up Invicta Ministries of Deliverance and Inner Healing in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Since 2012, he has been sitting with both born-again Christians and nonbelievers to minister the deliverance and healing of Christ. Chase also leads Invicta University, the teaching and certification arm of Invicta Ministries.
