God created every believer to live an empowered, supernatural life How is this possible? Driven by a quest for a life marked by the power of God, hungry Christians often seek out proven formulas to help grow their faith. While this kind of teaching can be helpful, it fails to create mature sons and daughters of God who radiate His love, power, and glory in every area of life. The great pursuit of every believer should not be a religious formula - it should be the face of God Himself.

This dazzling story collection is full of surprises. 'Hookup Hell' is a comic romance in the age of Tinder. 'Eleven' is a haunting tale of obsession. And 'Marla Okadigbo' is a savage satire of race relations in America today.Covering an extraordinary range of topics and styles, The Tightarse Tuesday Book Club is bold, funny, and hugely entertaining.Duncan Smith is, for me, one of Australia's best and most original writers. Smith never pulls back from ideas and issues, and will explore them regardless of what people may think. This, his second book of short stories, is a good addition to his recent novels. There is a range of material here from absurdist fantasy to social commentary. Highly recommended D. R. Byers.

If feminism is a noble cause, why is it so unpopular? And why is there more anger between men and women than ever before? In the age of the Women's March and Me Too, many women believe they are at war. At the same time, men are boycotting marriage, and anti-feminist groups are on the rise. There is a backlash against feminism. Some dismiss it as misogyny, but that is a mistake. Unless the movement answers its critics, it will never gain mass support and the gender wars will rage 'til doomsday. What is the real state of feminism today? The Vast and the Spurious sorts truth from lies, posing 25 problems to do with: male privilege rape culture the gender pay gap feminism's war against its enemies, men's rights activists. This book is sympathetic to the real problems women face, yet argues they will only achieve real equality when feminism is reformed. With its clear and witty style, The Vast and the Spurious is a compelling read for those interested in the current state of women's rights, men's rights, and the gender war. "This is no angry polemic, but a light-hearted, factual and fair introduction to feminism's various hypocrisies and contradictions." Karen Straughan. '"Whether for the uninitiated, the curious, or the indoctrinated, this book offers a witty rebuttal to modern feminist claims and exaggerations. Grounded in common sense and empathy, it makes the rational case, too rarely heard, for harmony between the sexes and respect for men's contributions." Janice Fiamengo, Professor of English, University of Ottawa, Canada, and editor of Sons of Feminism: Men Have Their Say.

Is there a way to approach diversity that is effective across many cultures and sectors, while at the same time helping us to understand the impact of our own biases on our work? Listen in as two practitioners informed by very different backgrounds and experiences explore this question. Diversity and leadership consultant Duncan Smith, interviewed by Hala Abdelnour, sees five "Foundations of Diversity" as essential guides for both newcomers to the field and experienced practitioners. Refined and tested across a wide range of corporate, government, and non-profit clients over nearly 30 years, in both "Western" and "non-Western" countries, this is an approach that is practical, relevant, and engaging.
