An invaluable handbook for Mah Jong newcomers and experienced players alike, with fifty-one fully-illustrated hands. Although Mah Jong has been played by many nationalities through the ages, there are few books on the game. Some early books, translated from the Chinese, make hilarious reading and are virtually impossible to comprehend. Most books for beginners assume that the reader has some elementary knowledge of the game. In this book, the player is introduced to every phase by a clear explanation accompanied by illustrations, which enable an easy step-by-step development of the game. Scoring is set out in simple tabulated form, with illustrations of scoring for specific hands.

The modern Western game of Mah Jong has evolved from the original Chinese game, first recorded about 500BC. Mah Jong is played in slightly different forms in many countries around the world. Once the basic structure of the game is mastered players find no difficulty in adapting to another version of the game.

The creation of the Heaven Sake Children is evidence of the anointing on my life They represent all the children of this world who are created by God Himself The book talks about things that go on in the church and what God expects from you He s given us an instruction book the bible to teach us the way we should go Your paths are already mapped out for you and the sooner you find it the better you ll feel If you re not sure ask and the Lord will answer Children it s your souls that s at stake and your soul is safe in the Master s hand I believe our children can be taught to praise God and tarry to Him as a part of Sunday School saying to them this gets you even closer to the Lord As a child I was raised in church and observed many things that I could demostrate but could not relate One question stuck in my mind Why are so many of them crying I know the child in me wrote this book and when the child sees the drawings they will see and feel the child that remains in me and perhaps then they would want you to demonstrate to them a way to get even closer to Him Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child the same is greatest in the kingdom Matthews 18 4
