Is God dying? Some people think so--and more want it so. They say Christian beliefs and our way of life aren't relevant anymore. But what critics, and even many churchgoers, don't realize is the life-changing importance of Christianity. Showing how the world would be a dark place without Christianity, Unimaginable guides you through the halls of history to see how Jesus's teachings dramatically changed our world and continue to be the most powerful force for good today. Learn how Christianity has stood against slavery, racism, eugenics, and injustices toward women and children why freedom as a universal value and modern education and legal systems owe much to Christianity how Christians throughout the ages have demonstrated the value of human life by sacrificially caring for the sick, marginalized, and dying how people of faith are extending God's kingdom through charities, mental health initiatives, and other ways. This provocative and enlightening book is sure to encourage believers and equip them to respond to doubters.
"In the interval between the epics of Homer...and the age of the three great tragic poets, thinkers began to explore the various phenomena of the external world and came to understand many aspects of nature which had hitherto been shrouded in complete mystery. The creative literary activity of this epoch likewise betokens on the part of the Greeks an increasingly higher level of self-understanding and self-consciousness, in the best sense of the word. At this time appeared a group of lyric poets, who had looked deeply within their own natures, and through the vehicle of their poetry, made abundantly evident how thoroughly they understood the essential character of man's inner being. In Greek tragedy as we now have it we meet a fully developed dramatic form....The influence of tragedy on classic comedy is evident in the increasing preoccupation with subjects that are utopian or timeless, while] the traditional satire on contemporary events and personages recedes more and more into the background." -- from the Introduction, by Whitney J. Oates and Eugene O'Neill, Jr.

Mutiny onboard the "Amazing Grace" finds our Captain Smew and the only loyal members of his crew, marooned and left to die. The group's challenge is to use their skills of survival while finding a way off the island. Not an easy task and as luck has it, there are distractions. Smew stumbles upon a treasure map and is smitten by a curse that could destroy the thing he values most. Two pirates battle but Smew is forced to escape by jumping into a volcano tube that could lead to his death. How does he survive? In the course of it all, Smew discovers something about the immense power of greed and what it can make a man do. He discovers something more valuable than all the gold and diamonds in the world. Along the way you'll see beautiful Hawaiian landscapes as the story takes place on "some deserted tropical island". Within this first of a 7 volume series are positive life lessons, lacking in much of media these days. This particular volume uses adventure and conflict to compare greed and materialism to love and friendship.

The 1918 Pandemic killed over 50 million worldwide. Another pandemic was inevitable, yet how many people and organizations prepared for it? Why don't we learn from history? This series is about disasters and how to avoid them, mitigate their effects and learn from them. As you will see studying seven significant events in each book, they didn't just happen, and the people and organizations involved weren't helpless victims. Taking the attitude shit happens is potentially fatal. It ignores painful and tragic lessons from the past. If we're going to make the deaths and suffering of victims to mean anything, we must learn from them. That is the "gift of failure."The bottom line is we can predict and prevent many disasters because every disaster involving human interaction has a man-made factor, a cascade event, involved. In other words, we have control over whether shit happens. But it means changing a complacent mindset, getting rid of delusional thinking, and viewing the world around us in a different way. This book not only dissects these seven disasters, it outlines ways for individuals and organizations to avoid future disasters.Titanic: Systematic FailureLittle Big Horn: Leadership FailureThe Donner Party: Social DisintegrationNew London Schoolhouse Explosion: Lack of FocusThe Housing Bubble: Greed Overwhelms RealityThe Kegworth Plane Crash: Trusting ExpertsApollo 13: Successful Failure
