Space weapons have been debated intensely in the past. The latest instance of prominent debate is over their use for ballistic missile defense. But this is not the only possible role for space weapons, and that fact raises a further concern: What if an adversary were to develop such weapons? Could one? Why would it? It is time for broader public discussion of the issues. Before deciding to acquire or forgo space weapons for terrestrial confict, the United States should fully discuss what such weapons can do, what they will cost, and the likely consequences of acquiring them. The authors of this report seek to aid this discussion not by arguing for or against space weapons but by describing their attributes, classifying and comparing them, and explaining how each might be used. The authors also explore how a nation might decide to acquire such weapons and how other nations might react.

Have you ever asked, "God, there's just got to be more, right?" Or maybe life has convinced you that although God promised more, it's not available to you. How do you keep walking toward more when it seems you've reached the end of God's goodness? When life is hectic and messy, how do you keep from settling for less? How do you satisfy your longing for more? The Israelites raised similar questions as they walked through the wilderness toward the promised land. Much can be learned from them and their encounters with God on the journey. All the More was written from the guidebook Joshua gave the nation before he died. Inside All the More are insights and spiritual truths that, when experienced with God, will stir a heartset and mindset shift to propel you into All the More God designed for your life. This is not just another seven-step program with boxes to check but a journal with pages that allow you to process and apply truth to transform your life. This book was written for you, so you might fully experience the promise of God in Ephesians 3:20, "Now to Him who is able to carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us." Are you ready for more?
