The phrase "It is a God thing" is often used today. Karen says she senses God''s presence daily but doesn''t regularly use that phrase. With this book, however, she is deeply aware that it really is a God thing from beginning to end starting back in 1968 when she was a new child of God and received a Bible with the J. B. Phillips paraphrase. She wanted to read of Jesus'' daily activities but could only combine the Scriptures for each activity. She didn''t know how to put them in chronological order until discovering her husband''s Harmony of the Gospels book. She has combined the Gospels and put them in chronological order and hopes it will be helpful to others. Each activity of Jesus is titled with the exact Scripture written below the title for further research if one wishes. All Scriptures are printed in color to make it easy to know which apostle is talking as well as easily see which of the four apostles have written about the same incident. Any quotes the apostles use from the Old Testament is in yet a different color with its reference included. When more than one apostle tells the same story but remembers it differently, a slash (/) is used, and both are included in the text. There is a table of contents for each of the apostle''s book and a table of contents for each activity.

Este libro rompe con la engañosa dependencia que plantean las interpretaciones lineales del pasado, para ofrecer una visión amplia y a largo plazo del desarrollo y la institucionalización de las estrau00adtegias y las técnicas de comunicación estratégica, y de las relaciones públicas. En efecto, a falta de una teoría general que describa la aparición y el desarrollo de esta disciplina, los expertos han tendido a organizar tanto estas como sus antecedentes, en períodos de tiemu00adpo que presentan una evolución progresiva desde unos orígenes tempranos —poco sofisticados y no muy sobrados de ética— hasta las campañas actuales, con una visión planificada, estratéu00adgica y ética. Según Karen Russell y Meg Lamme, tales intentos de periodización han oscurecido nuestra comprensión de las relaciones públicas y su historia. De hecho, los historiadores especializados en la materia han busu00adcado con ahínco un punto de partida, y han dado fe de las limitau00adciones que ello supone para la comprensión de su desarrollo, en Estados Unidos y el resto del mundo. Para ello, se ha procurado corregir malentendidos acerca de la historia de las relaciones públicas que han (mal) conformado la teoría durante más de veinte años, así como desu00adcribir y comprender la relación histórica que existe entre estas, los medios de comunicación y los contextos históricos en los que emergieron

After the departure of the early Mormon settlers in 1857, early Las Vegas continued to be a watering stop for overland travelers on the Mormon Road/Old Spanish Trail.
