In the vein of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and The Alchemist, Freedom, by international inspirational life guide, speaker, and personality expert Jonathan R. Wachtel, has the power to uplift and inspire as it provides us with a window into our situation and purpose in life in enjoyable narrative form. We are all capable of being slaves to our own thoughts and feelings, or of using these tools to sculpt our lives and the world around us at will. With its poignant psychological, philosophical, and spiritual insights, Freedom: An Inspiring And Transformative Story Of Self-Discovery guides you toward true freedom, true fulfillment, true happiness and empowerment. It guides you toward greater control over your life. Freedom is a compilation of two stories: "The Tree and the Sun" and "Freedom". "The Tree and the Sun" is a metaphorical story about our relationship to God and the world around us, and our purpose in existence. "Freedom" is the story of a boy who was born into slavery and is learning what it is to be free-psychologically, physically, and so on. Freedom has many layers, and the chapter titles of this unique work suggest some of the most significant of these: Freedom of Thought, Freedom of Feeling, Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Action, Freedom of Manifestation. Together, these inspiring and empowering tales tell us what life is all about-why we're here, what we're supposed to be doing here, what our place and purpose is in this world. Nearly everyone who has read Freedom has reported intriguing, lasting, positive effects. A general positive and empowered attitude infuses the reader's experience of the world and spills over into the reader's life. The story becomes the reality. Fill your reality with awareness of your control over the shape that it takes, and be inspired by your world. But beware: Once you see the world through the lens of Freedom, you'll never experience your life quite the same way again.

The Nuclear Club reveals how a coalition of powerful and developing states embraced global governance in hopes of a bright and peaceful tomorrow. While fears of nuclear war were ever-present, it was the perceived threat to their preeminence that drove Washington, Moscow, and London to throw their weight behind the 1963 Limited Test Ban Treaty (LTBT) banishing nuclear testing underground, the 1967 Treaty of Tlatelolco banning atomic armaments from Latin America, and the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) forbidding more countries from joining the most exclusive club on Earth. International society, the Cold War, and the imperial U.S. presidency were reformed from 1945 to 1970, when a global nuclear order was inaugurated, averting conflict in the industrial North and yielding what George Orwell styled a "peace that is no peace" everywhere else. Today the nuclear order legitimizes foreign intervention worldwide, empowering the nuclear club and, above all, the United States, to push sanctions and even preventive war against atomic outlaws, all in humanity's name.

Virtues are in, but the work of Bill Bennett and others says little about specifically Christian virtues. Jonathan Wilson now recounts the recent rise of virtue ethics and provides a compelling Christian account and justification of them. Wilson engages such key figures as Alasdair MacIntyre and Stanley Hauerwas. Focusing especially on the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love, he not only sets forth a closely reasoned intellectual argument but suggests how an embrace of virtue ethics might change the nitty-gritty practice of the church's education, worship, and hospitality. Accessible, informed, and faithful, 'Gospel Virtues' is important reading for all who care about issues of character and community.
Although American independence was no miracle, the timing of the country’s independence and its huge scope, both political and territorial, do seem miraculous. In The Miracle of American Independence Jonathan R. Dull reconstructs significant events before, during, and after the Revolutionary War that had dramatic consequences for the future as the colonies sought independence from Great Britain. Without these surprising and unexpected results, Dull maintains, the country would have turned out quite differently. The Miracle of American Independence reimagines how the British might have averted or overcome American independence, and how the fledgling country itself could have lost its independence. Drawing on his nearly fifty years of research and a lively imagination, Dull puts readers in a position to consider the American Revolution from the perspective of the European states and their monarchs. This alternative history provides a stimulating reintroduction to one of the most exciting periods in American and European history, proving that sometimes reality is even stranger and more miraculous than fiction.
