Take a road-to-Emmaus walk through Isaiah's grand vista of Messianic prophecies in "The King and His Glory (Part 2): More Gold from the Book of Isaiah about the Coming King of Glory, with Greg Harris as your guide. In this volume, he continues his exploration of the Old Testament by mining Isaiah's deep riches. The volume's approach coincides with and supplements Harris' 30-chapter," The Bible Expositor's Handbook." I highly recommend this book.-BILL BARRICK, Emeritus Professor of Old Testament, The Master's Seminary

This book shows how the release of the free market in the last part of the twentieth century produced a rise in inequality and violence, the development of a huge criminal economy and the degradation of social and cultural life. It questions the silence of academics in the face of these changes and asks how much they have been incorporated into the priorities of commerce and governments. Many academics in the social sciences, media and cultural studies have avoided critical issues and become occupied in obscure theoretical debates such as post-modernism. The effect was to draw inellectuals and students away from the engaged and empirical work needed to identify key social problems and possibilities for change. The authors of this book point to the need for independent research which can criticise political policies and reveal their effects. They show, for example, why contemporary policies on drugs and education are creating more problems than they solve. The book features contributions from a wide range of academic disciplines including mass communications, sociology, politics, geography, philosophy and economics, and points to new directions for radical science. It also examines the possibilities for a free and democratic media and calls for the development of critical and open debate.
From the author of The Whispers comes a heartrending tale of friendship, hard-won truths, and the healing power of forgiveness. A lonely twelve-year-old boy spends his days “stuck” at the deserted Hollow Pines Plantation in Georgetown, South Carolina with no recollection of his name, how long he’s been there, and no idea how to leave. Things never change much for the lost souls at Hollow Pines and time is strange when you’re dead. But when visitors from the living world arrive for the first time in a long while, the boy feels a spark of hope. These visitors are around his age, and they seem to understand more than others that the plantation is not just spooky or eerie, it’s a sad place where the unspeakable happened again and again. And if these kids could understand the truth about Hollow Pines, maybe they could help him uncover the dark secrets of his past and help him find a way to finally move on. But Hollow Pines doesn’t like visitors. And with a malevolent spirit lurking in the shadows and painful memories buried deep, and for good reason, the boy wonders if he’ll ever find his way home or be stuck at Hollow Pines forever.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A Times (UK) Best Book of the Year - From the author of the million-copy-selling Essentialism comes an empowering guide to achieving your goals. It all starts with a simple principle: Not everything has to be so hard. "In a world beset by burnout, Greg McKeown's work is essential."--Daniel H. Pink, author of When, Drive, and To Sell Is Human "At a time when fear, uncertainty, and our ever-growing list of responsibilities have come to feel like much too much to handle, Effortless couldn't be timelier, or more necessary."--Eve Rodsky, author of Fair PlayDo you ever feel like: - You're teetering right on the edge of burnout?- You want to make a higher contribution, but lack the energy? - You're running faster but not moving closer to your goals? - Everything is so much harder than it used to be? As high achievers, we've been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren't perpetually exhausted, we're not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of "Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat," we're often working twice as hard to achieve half as much. Getting ahead doesn't have to be as hard as we make it. No matter what challenges or obstacles we face, there is a better way: instead of pushing ourselves harder, we can find an easier path. Effortless offers actionable advice for making the most essential activities the easiest ones, so you can achieve the results you want, without burning out. Effortless teaches you how to: - Turn tedious tasks into enjoyable rituals - Prevent frustration by solving problems before they arise - Set a sustainable pace instead of powering through - Make one-time choices that eliminate many future decisions - Simplify your processes by removing unnecessary steps- Make relationships easier to maintain and manage- And much more The effortless way isn't the lazy way. It's the smart way. It may even be the only way. Not every hard thing in life can be made easy. But we can make it easier to do more of what matters most.

The untold story of the unlikely heroes, the cutthroat politics, and the cultural forces that turned a deep South state blue--by a top reporter at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Flipped promises to be the definitive account of how the election of Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff transformed Georgia from one of the staunchest Republican strongholds to the nation's most watched battleground state--and ground zero for the disinformation wars certain to plague statewide and national elections in the future. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Greg Bluestein charts how progressive activists and organizers worked to help register hundreds of thousands of new voters and how Biden's victory in Georgia may inform Democratic strategy for years to come. He will also chronicle how Georgia's Republicans countered with a move to the far right that culminated in key state leaders defying Trump's demands to overturn his defeat. Bluestein has interviewed all the key figures in this election, including Stacey Abrams, Brian Kemp, Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock, and Kelly Loeffler, as well as their aides and operatives. Flipped will also feature such incredible characters as political activist turned U.S. Congresswoman Nikema Williams; perma-tanned baseball star turned lieutenant governor Geoff Duncan; and fast-talking New York strategist Jaclyn Rothenberg, who helped lead Biden's triumphant Georgia campaign. This gripping narrative is framed within the cultural and political history of the Peach State. Flipped tells a story that will resonate through the rest of the decade and beyond, as most political experts see Georgia headed toward years of close elections, and Democrats have developed a deep bench of strong candidates to challenge entrenched Republicans. There will be even more interest in the state going forward, when Stacey Abrams mounts a likely rematch against Governor Brian Kemp in 2022, seeking to be the first Black female governor elected in the nation's history. Pro-Trump forces threaten to muster their own challenges against Kemp and others who stood against the president's attempts to overturn the election, making Georgia ground zero for the fight over the soul of the Republican party--and, by extension, Trump's political legacy.
