SynopsisAs times are tough, Christians are crying out for God's miraculous provision in every area of their lives. And more than ever before, they are thirsty for encouragement through faith-building testimonies. Seeing these needs, author Julia Loren has combined sound biblical teaching on accessing God's provision with powerful testimonies from everyday Christians and from renowned renewal leaders such as James Goll, Barbara Yoder, Heidi Baker, Mike Bickle, Paul Keith Davis, and Shawn Boltz. Julia encourages believers to focus on God's promises and greater purpose--even in the midst of their problems--and prepares them to both expect and receive his supernatural provision. This is the perfect book for the core charismatic buyer., Accelerated Testing and Validation Methods is a cross-disciplinary guide that describes testing and validation tools and techniques throughout the product development process. Alex Porter not only focuses on what information is needed but also on what tools can produce the information in a timely manner. From the information provided, engineers and managers can determine what data is needed from a test and validation program and then how to select the best, most effective methods for obtaining the data.This book integrates testing and validation methods with a business perspective so readers can understand when, where, and how such methods can be economically justified. Testing and validation is about generating key information at the correct time so that sound business and engineering decisions can be made. Rather than simply describing various testing and validation techniques, the author offers readers guidance on how to select the best tools for a particular need, explains the appropriateness of different techniques to various situations and shows how to deploy them to ensure the desired information is accurately gathered., Accelerated Testing and Validation Methods is a cross-disciplinary guide that describes testing and validation tools and techniques throughout the product development process.
