When Elmer and Gina Whitcomb bought a restaurant in 1979, what they envisioned was a small family business that would bring their nine children together. What followed was a series of lessons that brought pain and heartache from the struggle to keep their dream alive. But what the Whitcombs found in the process was an inner resilience borne of faith and family that not only sustained them through rough times but carried them to success.What began as one man's dream has evolved into something greater than he could ever have imagined: a meaningful legacy that brings communities together over shared meals and helps people in a very personal way. Forty-five years later, Elmer's vision lives on through next-generation Whitcombs and an extended family of team members who embody Whitsons' Way. While this story marks the history of Whitsons' beginnings, it is far from the end-and the journey to get here was nothing short of miraculous.

The Steel City has boasted some of the most famous figures, landmarks and innovations in the country's history. Pittsburgh's past is littered with dozens of fascinating stories behind the icons that define it. Mary Schenley was the city's biggest benefactress of the nineteenth century, gifting the site of the 425-acre park in her name, but her fortune was almost lost when she eloped at the age of fifteen. The first ever call-in radio talk show began at famed KDKA in 1951, inspiring the birth of an entire industry. Mount Washington offers tourists sweeping views of the city today, but it once supplied coal to Pittsburghers and was the site of a sixteen-year underground mine fire. Author Paul King lists the best people, places and things of Pittsburgh's grand history.

"I have always been amazed by the paradox presented in Scripture: the humble are exalted; the hungry are full; the yielded are powerful; and those who go deeper live a higher life. In Come Up Higher, Dr. Paul King has masterfully brought together influential voices from church history who have experienced and written about the higher life in Christ-the Throne Life. Their voices instruct, illustrate, and challenge us to live in the heavenlies, with Christ. Any Christian who desires to see the empowerment of life in Christ influence his or her walk, worship, or spiritual warfare will find this powerful collection of insights from 2,000 years of church history indispensable." -Dr. Gary Benedict, President, The Christian and Missionary Alliance "Come Up Higher is a great book! It is greatly needed in today's church to bring correction to the extremes of not having courageous faith, not walking in authority or power on the one hand; and the other extreme of attempting to walk in the authority of imputed righteousness, moving in power, exercising faith, without the holiness of imparted righteousness. Dr. Paul King's book, Come Up Higher! Rediscovering Throne Life-The Highest Christian Life for the 21st Century, is a well written, powerful book bringing balance to a subject where balance has often not been found. I highly recommend it." -Randy Clark, Founder and President of Global Awakening and the Apostolic Network of Global Awakening "Come Up Higher! Rediscovering Throne Life-The Highest Christian Life for the 21st Century is another life-changing book from Paul King. He brings us to the pinnacle of the Christian life with a privilege that is almost unimaginable and is the clearest expression of heaven on earth possible. It is about position and Presence. With great wisdom, Paul deals with both the obstacles and the overwhelming benefits of this lifestyle. I can't imagine reading this book without increasing in hunger for a lifestyle that is almost too good to be true. This is the book that will drive a person into the secret place without striving or religious agendas." -Bill Johnson, Author, When Heaven Invades Earth and Hosting the Presence Bethel Church, Redding, CA

God is a God of Protection, Provision, and Prosperity. As we began teaching tithing from the "COVENANT" foundation, it will transform hearers to doers, believers to receivers, and tippers to tithers! When you enter into a "sincere" agreement (covenant) with the Lord, He will keep His promise to you! Many that teach tithing put emphasis on the calamity caused from curses. Some teach tithing as a necessity to keep the church economy going. You should tithe because you want to honor God for allowing you to be a steward over His blessings that He has entrusted in your care. Tithing is not a dispensational doctrine (Law), but an eternal principle. Tithing is not a commandment, but a COVENANT! I can prove it!

Reflections is a collection of my writings through the years in defense of and support for Affirmative Action in the construction industry. It documents a struggle for economic justice that began on July 23, 1969 when Chicago community groups assembled to demand equal participation in local federal construction projects. As these programs became successful, resistance rose at a rapid clip. Who would have thought that our quest for economic justice would eventually reach the Supreme Court as a battle against "reverse discrimination?" Who would have believed that the "affirmative action" programs that integrated an exclusive white workforce, and provided new opportunities for Black firms would be challenged so vigorously that the term would not even be used by the 2008 presidential candidates? We share our experiences for others seeking change by providing examples of how Black businesses can address community problems, including educating elected officials and holding them accountable. It was though my membership in Parren Mitchell's (Maryland's first Black congressman-1971), Black Business Braintrust, that the first national legislation requiring mandatory Minority Business Enterprise [MBE] utilization was forged. This book emphasizes four main areas of concern: Affirmative Action as a tool to break the pattern of exclusion by construction trade unions and apprenticeship programs. To demonstrate that local organizations with dedicated leaders can combat discrimination and create positive change that reverberates nationally. To expand the Black tradesmen workforce as a vehicle for increasing Black subcontractor numbers and developing substantial Black general contractors. The development of viable black construction firms: UBM, Inc., which I co-founded in 1974, was by 2004, the largest Black general contractor in the state of Illinois. My firm accomplished everything I sought to prove as a black business by creating the capacity to apply positive solutions to problems besieging our community.

"This new essay might well be read before tackling the biblical passages, for here the air is cleared over traditional habits of thought which may obscure the witness of Scripture itself.. . .its gentle and straightforward style can do much to move the discussion along." -- Theology Today In this book, Jewett argues that on the basis of the Christian ideal of the partnership of the sees, women ought to share fully with men the privileges and responsibilities of church ministry. Paul K. Jewett (1919-1991) was professor of systematic theology at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. He also wrote Man as Male and Female and God, Creation, and Revelation.

This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. Paul Jewett, author of the creative and highly provocative book Man As Male and Female, here turns his critical attention to the practice of infant baptism. Jewett does not accept the traditional "covenant" argument for baptizing infants, and this book explains why he believes this argument fails. Infant baptism is not a subject which can be isolated. For, as Jewett would have his readers understand, one's view on this issue is integrally related to one's view of the sacraments in general and thereby to the whole doctrine of the church and salvation. Thus it is understandable that what appears to be a minor theological question has had such divisive effects on the church. A discussion of the historical source of infant baptism begins Jewett's critique and introduces such issues as the distinction between infants and children, the silence of certain early church fathers on the subject, infant communion, and catechetical instruction. The second and major portion of this book examines the theological issue, focusing specifically on the covenant argument, which suggests that baptism replaces circumcision as the sign of the covenant and thereby is given to infants. This argument, Jewett claims, fails to take into account the historical character of revelation, and contains certain contradictions. Jewett concludes with a creative defense of believer baptism, one which is theologically responsible and which recognizes the profound truths of covenant theology.

This booklet offers an initial acquaintance with the life and thought of Emil Brunner - the eminent Swiss theologian who had been highly influential in the movement commonly called neo-orthodoxy. Brunner has perhaps most profoundly influenced the theological dialog e of this century through his effort to restore to theology its proper task: believing thought about the revelation of God in Christ. The author sets forth positively Brunner's contribution to our understanding of the Christian faith. At the same time, he lays bare weaknesses inherent in the position of this important theologian. -- Publisher (back cover)
