In just two weeks and three days will come the Passover once again. What, after all, is the real meaning of the Passover? We take it every year.

Don't sell yourself short! The possibilities that lie ahead for you are transcendently greater than you have ever come to know! When I was an adolescent of 16, as I have said and written many times, AMBITION was aroused in me. It was on my first summer vacation job away from home. I had never thou ...

IT WAS late afternoon in the desert city. I had been up since dawn despite a late arrival the night before. Beyond the desert, the jagged mountains shimmered in the heat.

Traveling with Herbert W. Armstrong up to 300 days a year, I have been able to enjoy a continual education in the kind of dedication, effort and hard work that is required to accomplish anything worthwhile in life.
