In The Moment of Zuke: Critical Positions and Pivotal Decisions for Colle System Players, David Rudel wrote that the main line of the c3-Colle was looking quite grim for White. He proposed that Colle-Koltanowski players should adopt a new idea, meeting 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 e6 4.Bd3 c5 5.c3 Nc6 6.Nbd2 Bd6 7.O-O O-O with 8.dxc5 Bxc5 9.b4!, a variation he dubbed the Koltanowski-Phoenix Attack. Rudel promised to write a treatise on this new idea, and-two years later-he has delivered. Koltanowski Phoenix Attack: The future of the c3-Colle is a 250+ page project giving extensive coverage of all critical defenses. Even though the book is long, it is organized in such a way that a player can begin playing the Koltanowski-Phoenix almost immediately. Rudel first gives a "Simple mini-Repertoire" that can be learned in hours, and then he provides more complicated, alternate lines that can be added as the player becomes more experienced with the opening. David Rudel is an authority on t...

One of the Christian giants of the 18th Century was George Whitefield. This book, GEORGE WHITEFIELD: A BIOGRAPHY by Joseph Belcher, D.D., details his life and ministry. Whitefield attended Oxford University and was ordained in the Church of England, but very soon adopted the teaching and beliefs of John Wesley. As a result, he found many churches in England closed to him, so he began preaching out-of-doors and said that was his favorite venue. Early in his career, the Wesley brothers convinced Whitefield that he should travel to America, which he did and found almost immediate favor with Americans. Until his death in 1770, George Whitefield traveled back and forth between England and America and preached the saving message of God and Jesus Christ to hundreds of thousands of people. At Whitefield's death John Wesley, preaching the funeral service said, "In his public labors he has astonished the world with his eloquence and devotion. He spoke from the heart with a fervency of z...
