[Non-pharmacological prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia].
ABSTRACT Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the first cause of mortality due to nosocomial infections in the intensive care unit. Its incidence ranges from 9% to 67% of patients on mechanical ventilation. Risk factors are multiple and are associated with prolonged stays in hospital and intensive care units. Additional costs for each episode of VAP range from 9,000 euro to 31,000 euro. Thus, its prevention should be considered as a priority. This prevention could decrease associated morbidity, mortality, costs, and increase patient safety.

- "The cost for each VAP is estimated at between ¤9000 and ¤31 000. (Rello et al., 2002a, 2002b; Erbay et al., 2003; Safdar et al., 2005; Cocanour et al., 2006; Keeley, 2007; Sinuff et al., 2008; Labeau et al., 2008; Stonecypher, 2010; Díaz et al., 2010). "
ABSTRACT: Ventilator-associated pneumonia constitutes a significant concern for ventilated patients in the intensive care unit. This study was planned to evaluate the knowledge of nurses working in general intensive care units concerning evidence-based measures for the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia. This study design is cross-sectional. It was carried out on nurses working in the general intensive care units of anesthiology and re-animation clinics. Collection of research data was performed by means of a Nurse Identification Form and a Form of Evidence-Based Knowledge concerning the Prevention of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia. Characterization statistics were shown by percentage, median and interquartile range. Chi-square and Wilcoxon tests and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used as appropriate. The median value of total points scored by nurses on the questionnaire was 4.00 ± 2.00. The difference between the nurses' education levels, duration of work experience and participation in in-service training programmes on ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention and the median value of their total scores on the questionnaire was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). The conclusion of the study was that critical care nurses' knowledge about ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention is poor.Nursing in Critical Care 01/2014; 19(1):26-33.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: /st>The objective of the study was to reduce the ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) incidence rates through a rational prevention program. DESIGN: /st>The study was a non-controlled clinical trial with a set of interventions in mechanically ventilated patients from April 2006 until June 2008. Pneumonia rates were analyzed as time series and their mean risks of development were compared before and after the interventions with a non-concurrent cohort using the same time frame (January 2004-March 2006). SETTING: /st>The study was conducted in a 14-bed medical intensive care unit of private general hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. PARTICIPANTS: /st>The study included invasively ventilated patients (n = 224; intervention group) compared with 294 controls (historical cohort). INTERVENTIONS: /st>An educational module about VAP prevention was introduced at the start of the trial (April 2006). A bundle checklist was used daily concomitantly with a standardized oral care in all patients afterwards.Main outcome measureThe main outcome measure was reduction in VAP incidence rates. RESULTS: /st>The observed mean rate before the intervention was 18.6 ± 7.8/1000 ventilator-days (95% CI 8.7-14.9), decreasing to 11.8 ± 7.8/1000 ventilator-days (95% CI 15.5-21.7) (P = 0.002) after the interventions. Under the adoption of non-informative prior distributions for the parameters of the proposed statistical model, there was a 70% posterior probability in favor of the hypothesis of risk reduction associated with the interventions, regardless their seasonality or secular trends. There was a 38% relative risk reduction. CONCLUSIONS: /st>A reduction in VAP rates and on their risk after a set of preventive tools was observed. However, some other co-interventions not related to the primary interventions may have contributed to these results.International Journal for Quality in Health Care 03/2013; DOI:10.1093/intqhc/mzt025 · 1.58 Impact Factor

We had a fantastic time in Lyon - what a lovely city! Jacques and Marie were away but we were met by their good friend Farida who was very helpful and friendly. She showed us where to park, told us about the best places to eat and even helped carry bags. Thank you Farida!
The apartment was spacious and beautifully decorated. Very clean, and in a great location. We would gladly stay here again.
Emplacement exceptionnel au cœur du vieux Lyon. Appartement atypique, plein de charme et d'authenticité. À proximité de Fourvière, du Théâtre antique, des bars à vins, pubs, resto et des bords de Saône.
De quoi passer un week-end inoubliable...
Although we did not get to meet Jacques and Marie, we had a lovely time in Lyon. Farida, their friend, was our contact and did everything to make sure our stay was good - she even made reservations for us at some amazing restaurants in the area. The location was fantastic in the old quarter, and the room was superb. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Jacques and Marie's friend Farida welcomed us into the apartment with open arms. The apartment was wonderfully centrally located and well equipped for our stay. Would definitely stay again when in Lyon.
Farida met us with the keys and helped us to access the apartment to unload our luggage. She was also very helpful in riding with us to show us where to refill the car with diesel. The apartment was located right in the old town, as described with great views out the window of the old town and steps. It was on a smaller street, which was fairly quiet, except for the dining/living room late into the evening because of a restaurant downstairs. To access the apartment, you used two security codes and three keys, so you really felt like you were going into a secure and valuable apartment.
Très bel appartement, idéalement situé dans le Vieux Lyon. Rien à redire sur cet appartement.
Ravi de notre visite, c'est avec grand plaisir que nous reviendrons!
About the Host, Jacques
Nous serons heureux de vous accueillir au mieux, pour contribuer à la réussite de votre séjour.
Marie est historienne et connaît parfaitement les lieux incontournables et parfois complétement méconnus qui témoignent de l'histoire de notre ville. Tours et détours dans les cours Renaissance... de notre quartier en passant par de surprenantes traboules.
Je suis passionné d'architecture, d'histoire mais également amateur de vins français.
Nous partagerons avec vous les vraies bonnes adresses ce cette ville gourmande.

Savez-vous par exemple que la meilleure tarte à la praline de Lyon se trouve à 100 mètres de chez nous ?
Un pure délice. Succès garanti !

SHANGHAI, Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report published today by the Asia Society predicts that the U.S. will attract up to $400 billion new direct investment from China by 2020 and that the State of California in particular will benefit.
Before 2008, annual Chinese direct investment in the United States typically stood well below $1 billion. Since then, Chinese investment in the U.S. has exploded, reaching nearly $2 billion in 2009 and a record $5.8 billion in 2010. In the first three quarters of 2012, Chinese firms completed transactions worth $6.3 billion, setting the stage for a new record year for Chinese investment in the United States.
California is the top target for Chinese investment in the U.S -- it has attracted more investment projects from China than any other U.S. state. Chinese investment in California is growing at triple-digit levels and could reach $60 billion by 2020 -- if the state and private sector, in partnership with the U.S. government, do a better job working together to attract Chinese capital, according to Daniel H. Rosen and Thilo Hanemann of the Rhodium Group, authors of Chinese Direct Investment in California. The report's global launch took place at a joint AmCham Shanghai and Asia Society conference on the growing trend of Chinese investment in the U.S.
Compared to the rest of the U.S., Chinese investment in California is disproportionately from private rather than state-owned enterprises, greenfield rather than M&As, and is strongest in high-tech and the service sector -- areas that the Chinese government and private sector have targeted for accelerated growth.
"California has been the leading edge of America's Asian economic engagement for nearly 200 years, so it is not surprising that the state is one step ahead when it comes to hosting direct investments from China," says Daniel H. Rosen, one of the authors of the report. "What is more surprising is just how much further the Golden State can benefit from China's new commercial outflows if it gets serious about courting them."
"California's private sector has been a strong leader in bringing Chinese investment to the state," says Jack Wadsworth, Co-Chairman of Asia Society Northern California. "We need state government to make the same commitment, and efforts from ChinaSF and GO-Biz are steps in the right direction."
Commenting on the importance of Chinese investment to the larger U.S. economy, Brenda Foster, president of AmCham Shanghai said, "The U.S. is one of the world's most open markets for investment and China is an increasingly important source of FDI. Initiatives like today's conference are critical to communicating a welcoming environment to potential Chinese investors and to educating U.S. states, such as California, on what can be done to attract more investment from China."
Among the report's policy recommendations presented at the Conference:
- Understand California's value to China. The state's economy is the largest in the U.S. It has strong competitive advantages in high-tech sectors like software, IT, electronics, and cleantech. The state has long ties with China and has one of the most highly educated, multi-cultural workforces in the world.
- Target the right Chinese firms. High-tech firms in China seek what their California counterparts have: technology, know-how, and market experience. This is also true for high-value services in China seeking to move up the value chain. The Chinese government has identified exactly these areas as priorities for future economic growth.
- Step up the state's investment promotion efforts. Continued growth of Chinese investment is not foreordained. Competition from other states, and nations, is intensifying, and the traditional hands-off approach is outdated and inadequate. The new GO-Biz office is an encouraging development, and more must be done to support innovative local initiatives such as ChinaSF in San Francisco.
- Lead the way to help resolve national anxieties over China. Growth in China's U.S. direct investment has rekindled old arguments about foreign firms and the national interest. While security screening for foreign investments is both necessary and legitimate, concerns can be politicized for protectionist ends. California has more self-interest than any other state to step up and contribute to solutions based on its experience with successful, and failed, deals and a sophisticated understanding of cutting-edge industries.
The report's global release, including a full Chinese-language version of the report, took place on November 15 in Shanghai and on November 16 in Beijing. The report was released in the United States on October 10 in San Francisco and October 11 in Los Angeles.

El Nino will peak in August
Publication Date : 30-06-2014
The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) forecast that El Nino will hit the country between July and August, and its impact will peak in late August.
The agency predicts that the impact of this year's El Nino will be mild.
"The El Nino phenomenon will not be as bad as the one in 1997 and the drought will be less severe too.
"But it will mean that the rainy season arrives later in 2014 and 2015, especially in the eastern parts of Indonesia," BMKG head Andi Eka Sakya said.
El Nino is a peculiar phenomenon in sea conditions, marked by the increase in sea surface temperature (SST) in the Pacific Ocean around the equator, known as the equatorial Pacific Ocean, especially around the coast of Peru.
Since the ocean and the atmosphere are closely interconnected, this peculiar phenomenon causes changes in atmospheric conditions, which results in deviations in climate.
In normal weather conditions, the sea surface temperature of Indonesian waters is generally warm and, therefore, evaporation and condensing can occur easily and form rainy clouds are formed.

Objectives: Sex differences in depressive symptoms emerge during adolescence, with females more at risk than males. However, adverse life events during development have greater impact on males. An animal model that incorporates behavioral and anatomical changes following adolescent stress is needed. Experimental Design: Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to social stress (SS; isolation housing during P30–35) or remained group-housed (GRP) and tested in the forced swim test (FST), the triadic learned helplessness model (LH), and the elevated plus maze. Western immunoblots of myelin basic protein (MBP) and synaptophysin (SVP) and spinophillin indexed synaptic and dendritic plasticity, respectively. Principal Observations: At P36, SS increased climbing behavior in both sexes, and decreased the latency to immobility in females following a 15 min inescapable swim in the FST. Depressive-like behaviors were differentially elevated in both sexes 24 h later. GRP females exhibited higher levels of depression-related behaviors than GRP males in both FST and LH paradigms. SS significantly increased depressive behaviors in the FST in males, and impaired their ability to escape shock previously conditioned to be controllable. SS decreased open arm time in females only. The greatest reductions in synaptic plasticity proteins were observed in the prefrontal cortex: spinophillin (19.1%), SVP (7.9%), and MBP (48.7%, males only). Smaller reductions in spinophillin were observed in the hippocampus and amygdala. Conclusions: Adolescent separation produces both behavioral and neural changes associated with stress-related depression and anxiety. Additional work is needed to improve our understanding of stress as it relates to depression during this vulnerable period of development. Synapse 62:22–30, 2008. © 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

The end of the age of fossil fuels
Easy-to-reach oil has been exhausted in T&T. The country now looks at increasingly risky and dirty fossil-fuel extraction such as deep-sea oil and tar sands. Billions of dollars are being invested in the continuation of the century-and-a-half-old oil and gas industry, locking T&T in to a fossil-fuel economy for another generation or more.
Meanwhile Goldman Sachs, one of the world's leading investment banks, predicts that the age of oil will soon be over. Solar power will achieve price parity with the US electricity grid by 2033. Is the Ministry of Energy and Energy Affairs' continued emphasis on fossil-fuel investment, instead of clean, renewable energy a good business investment? The financial analysts at Wall Street say no.
Financial analysts don't care about the environment, climate change or a country's historical reliance on one form of income or another. These are the Wolves of Wall Street, not greens or empaths. They follow profits only, and when they say an industry is about to become obsolete, policymakers better sit up and take notice.

Featured Golf Course Review:
|Holly Tree Country Club -- beautiful and testing
|Review by: Aloysius Whaley
|Holly Tree offers a beatiful layout along rolling hills in Simpsonville. The holes are all unique with something special about each one that makes fun to play over and over. My favorite whole is number 17 because it is short dog leg left where ur first shot needs to be long and straight, and then its downhill from there with a short low approach onto a well protected green.

Société Générale's Lyxor Asset Management unit is marketing a new exchange-traded note (ETN) that follows the price of gold, which it says will significantly reduce the problem of counterparty risk.Listed on the London Stock Exchange, the Lyxor ETN Long Gold will track the performance of the gold spot price and charge a fixed annual fee of 0.3%. It is the first ETN to be launched by Lyxor.
Gold is typically a safe haven in times of financial distress, noted Dan Draper, London-based global head of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) at Lyxor. But investors wary about the market in general might also be unwilling to take the counterparty risk associated with ETNs. Unlike ETFs, ETNs constitute a senior unsecured debt obligation of the issuer - in other words, a bond.
While ETNs offer exchange-traded liquidity and the ability to redeem at par, their structure means that, if the issuer defaults, investors may be left waiting in a lengthy queue of unsecured creditors to get any of their money back. As with other structured products, this consideration has weighed more heavily than ever on the minds of investors following the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, which affected the bank's suite of US ETNs.
To counter this, the Lyxor product will be 100% collateralised by high-quality credit assets held in a special-purpose vehicle, which will contain a mix of eurozone government bonds and highly rated euro government bond funds.
"What we're trying to do is add an extra layer of security. You have a strong issuer in Société Générale, but in addition to that there's 100% collateral with AAA-rated funds or government bonds from the eurozone. So in the case of a bankruptcy like Lehman Brothers, there's collateral that's ring-fenced and available to the end investor," said Draper.
With recourse to a collection of underlying assets, the product looks similar to an ETF. But unlike an ETF, the product does not have the potential to suffer from a divergence in performance between the fund's assets and the index it targets - otherwise known as tracking error.

Four years after Get Knifed, the Fatal Flying Guilloteens have finally spit out their third album. The Houston-bred racket makers are renowned locally and beyond for their special brand of performances, which typically last mere minutes due to gear being destroyed, blood being spilled and something (or someone) getting set on fire. The Guilloteens beat and mangle their instruments like hairless apes flinging feces at unsuspecting zoo visitors; some have even questioned whether these hooligans possess opposable thumbs. If that's the case, though, Quantum Fucking proves thumbs are in fact not necessary for creating fantastic rock and roll. As the Guilloteens' first release on the indie label heavyweight Frenchkiss (Les Savy Fav, the Hold Steady), Fucking mixes and matches the sounds fans have come to love during the group's decade and change in the splatter-punk trenches: screeching guitars, chugging bass lines ("Reveal the Rats"), howling vocals ("Great Apes"). It lasts just over half an hour, a blast of pure ruckus waiting to kick your ass and provide the perfect sound track for a house party where every last stick of furniture gets destroyed in an alcohol-induced haze.

Former abortionists become pro-life
By Editorial Staff
Published May 1, 1989
Is abortion just a simple medical procedure? Four former abortionists who met in Chicago in February of this year told audiences about the horrors involved in the abortion industry – and made public apologies for what they had done to promote the practice. These individuals have joined a growing number of men and women in the American medical profession who are rejecting the philosophy behind the Roe Vs. Wade decision – because of what it has done to harm unborn children and their mothers.
Dr. McArthur Hill, Denver, Colorado
"I am a murderer. I have taken the lives of innocent babies. I have torn babies from the womb. I have poisoned babies by injecting salt solution into the bag of waters … I did not feel right about doing abortions. My justification was that it was legal and that patients wanted it done.
"Abortion started to get to me in my dreams. I had a recurring nightmare in which I delivered a healthy, newborn baby. I held the baby up and faced a jury of faceless people, asking them what I should do with the baby. 'Thumbs up or thumbs down?' On the floor underneath the baby was a bucket of water for drowning the baby if the jury gave a verdict of thumbs down. I never put the baby in the bucket because I would always wake up.
"I started to cut back on the number of abortions I performed. When I moved back to Colorado, I did two abortions by prostaglandin because of Down's syndrome, but I began to develop the conviction that abortion was an evil that had to be stopped. One day a pastor came to my office and preached the gospel to me, persuading me to commit my life to Jesus Christ. That was when I quit doing abortions altogether."
Dr. David Brewer, Glen Ellyn, Illinois
"I didn't have a moral or ethical background when I went into residency. I remember the first abortion I witnessed. It was performed by the resident physician. I didn't know what to expect. It was my job afterward to undo the jar and see what was inside. It was a new experience, and I've always found it exciting to learn new things. When I opened the little bag, the resident physician said, 'Put it on the blue cloth to see if we got everything out.'
"I put it on the towel, and there were parts of a person. I saw a head, ribs, tiny hands, arms. It was as if someone put a hot poker into me. I had a conscience, and that hurt. I said, 'I guess you got it all.' I had no real convictions, and I was caught in the middle. I didn't do anything. I didn't talk to anyone. I got to see another abortion, and then another. As I saw more abortions, it hurt less.
"The first one I did was hard. But after a while, it didn't hurt. My heart was calloused against the fact that I was a murderer. When I was an intern I had to take care of the 'candy apple babies' (Babies who are delivered after saline abortions usually look similar in color to a candy apple because the outer layer of skin is burned off by the poisonous salt solution.) One night a lady delivered, and I was called to see her because she was uncontrollable. She was going to pieces, screaming and thrashing. All the patients were upset. I walked in, and there was her little saline abortion baby kicking and moving for a little while before it died of those terrible burns. I watched that more and more.
"When I became a Christian, I realized life begins at conception. It was very simple to stop doing abortions."
Dr. Beverly McMillan, Jackson, Mississippi
"I was not a reluctant participant in abortion. I was a radical feminist. During my residency at Cook County Hospital in Chicago in 1969, I made my decision to be an abortionist. At the hospital I noticed that quite a number of women who were bleeding and running a fever were being admitted. I started IV's and gave blood and antibiotics to the patients. About halfway through the night, it dawned on me that these women were coming from Chicago's illegal abortion mills.
"At the end of six weeks, I was angry at what I had seen. I thought that women should have a safe abortion and I would provide it. At that time, there was not one abortion center in the entire state of Mississippi. A group of 'concerned citizens and clergy' had already lined up a place to rent and had hired nurses and counselors. Everything was ready to open the first abortion mill in Mississippi, except that they needed a physician willing to become the 'town abortionist.' I initially declined, but later determined that I would run the best abortion facility in the country.
The new abortion mill was running smoothly. We only offered first trimester abortions because I felt later abortions were riskier. Nevertheless, I did experience complications, the worst of which was perforating a uterus and suctioning a piece of small bowel into the tube. I was so depressed I couldn't stand it. I started considering Christianity, and at one point prayed the scripture, 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' One day an employee at the mill asked to see the contents of the sock in the suction machine. I saw a beautiful arm, and I thought, 'What are you doing?' That was one of the last abortions I did.
"In the fall of 1978 I was baptized and I resigned from the abortion mill. Today I am a sidewalk counselor and was the first ex-abortionist to be arrested and jailed for sitting in at an abortuary. I have been arrested three times for participating in rescue missions."
Nita Whitten, Dallas, Texas, Former Clinic Assistant
"When I started working at the Fairmount Center in Dallas, I was a radical feminst and completely pro-abortion. But I became traumatized by what I saw every day. It's hard to work in a place where there is no love.
"One woman came into the clinic forcing her daughter to have an abortion. The daughter was in the second trimester at 15 weeks. She kept going to the bathroom, and it seemed that something was definitely wrong. Then the girl started screaming at the top of her lungs, 'It's a baby! Mama! Mama!' The doctor was in the middle of a procedure and couldn't come. She'll be scarred for life for seeing her baby in the toilet, which is where it landed.
"Another woman got an abortion because she had twins. Everyone went in to see what the twins looked like after the abortion. I had never been in the procedure room. I wanted to avoid it. In my heart, I knew they were babies, and I knew abortion was murder.
"I became depressed, despondent, and hooked on drugs. I took drugs to wake up, took speed at work, and took pot and alcohol in the evening. I also took birth control pills and developed amenorrhea. The abortion mill assumed I was pregnant and gave me an abortion, but it turned out I wasn't pregnant. Furthermore, the phantom abortion led to complications, including a severe pelvic infection.
"Finally, when I decided to give my life to the Lord, I got out of the abortion business. I told my husband that I wanted to get out of the 'rat race' and get a new job in a new town. Then, when I got pregnant, a physician recommended that I get an abortion because of the drugs I had taken. He predicted deformity. I absolutely refused to get the abortion, and now I have a beautiful four-year-old girl – my 'miracle baby' whose picture I always carry with me."
These testimonies were given at the "Meet the Abortion Providers" conference in February, 1989, at the Chicago O'Hare Marriott, sponsored by the Pro-Life Action League. This excerpt is reprinted by permission.
Audio tapes of the abortionists' complete testimonies are available for $20, and video tapes for $40. Contact: Pro-Life Action League, 6160 N. Cicero Avenue, Suite #210, Chicago, IL 60646.

Frank Schaeffer Will You Please Shut Up! (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 200 pages
A Reasonable Response to Christian Postmodernism
Includes a response to the book Christian Jihad by Colonel V. Doner
The title of this book is a misnomer. In reality, I am not trying to get anyone to shut up, but rather to provoke a discussion. This book is a warning about the philosophy of "Christian postmodernism" and the threat that it poses not only to Christian orthodoxy, but to the peace and prosperity our culture as well. The purpose is to equip the reader with some basic principles that can be used to refute their arguments.
Part 1 is a response to some of the recent writings by Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late Francis Schaeffer. This was originally written as a defense against Frank's attacks on pro-life street activism – a movement that his father helped bring into being through his books, A Christian Manifesto, How Should We Then Live? and Whatever Happened to the Human Race? These works have impacted literally hundreds of thousands of Christian activists.
Part 2 is a response to Colonel Doner and his book, Christian Jihad: Neo-Fundamentalists and the Polarization of America. Doner was one of the key architects of the Christian Right that emerged in the 1980s, who now represents the disillusionment and defection many Christian activists experienced in the 1990s and 2000s. There is still great hope for America to be reformed according to biblical principles. As a new generation is emerging, it is important to recognize the mistakes that Christian activists have made in the past even while holding to a vision for the future.

Freedom: The Model of Christian Liberty (DVD)
"Give me liberty or give me death!"
Patrick Henry's famous declaration not only helped launch the War for Independence, it also perfectly summarized the mindset that gave birth to, and sustained, the unprecedented experiment in Christian liberty that was America.
The freedom our Founders envisioned was not freedom from suffering, want, or hard work. Nor was it freedom to indulge every appetite or whim without restraint—that would merely be servitude to a different master. No, the Founders' passion was to live free before God, unfettered by the chains of autocracy, shackles that slowly but inexorably bind men when the governments they fashion fail to recognize and uphold freedom's singular, foundational truth: that all men are created in the image of God, and are thereby co-equally endowed with the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
This presentation is a similar call, not to one but many. By reintroducing the principles of freedom that gave birth to America, it is our prayer that Jesus, the true and only ruler over the nations, will once again be our acknowledged Sovereign, that we may again know and exult in the great truth that "where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty" (2 Cor. 3:17).
Welcome to the Second American Revolution!
This DVD features "Liberty: The Model of Christian Liberty" along with "Dawn's Early Light: A Brief History of America's Christian Foundations." Bonus features include a humorous but instructive collection of campaign ads and Eric Holmberg's controversial YouTube challenge concerning Mitt Romney's campaign for president.

The Beast of Revelation: Identified (DVD)
Who is the dreaded beast of Revelation?
Now at last, a plausible candidate for this personification of evil incarnate has been identified (or re-identified). Ken Gentry's insightful analysis of scripture and history is likely to revolutionize your understanding of the book of Revelation — and even more importantly — amplify and energize your entire Christian worldview!
Historical footage and other graphics are used to illustrate the lecture Dr. Gentry presented at the 1999 Ligonier Conference in Orlando, Florida. It is followed by a one-hour question and answer session addressing the key concerns and objections typically raised in response to his position. This presentation also features an introduction that touches on not only the confusion and controversy surrounding this issue — but just why it may well be one of the most significant issues facing the Church today.
Ideal for group meetings, personal Bible study — for anyone who wants to understand the historical context of John's famous letter "… to the seven churches which are in Asia." (Revelation 1:4)
