With a bit of lighthearted humor and raw honesty, Robert displays what life can look like being confined. He offers guidance on how to learn more about who God truly is, how to leave the past behind, and how to learn that God loves all no matter what.Along with teaching readers about the Gospel, Dew Drops from Heaven challenges readers in various ways by posing questions that allow them to reflect on who they are. By looking toward Jesus and trusting in Him wholeheartedly, readers can experience a spiritual reawakening that paves the way for salvation. This piece equips readers with the power to realize that, although perfection is not yet attainable in this life, growing closer to Him will lead to fulfillment like nothing else can. Robert Watson, Jr. is a devoted follower of Christ and God's Word. He is a lover of games, travelling, singing in 4Given Quartet, and chugging down refreshing Mountain Dews daily.

However, the will of God always prevails, and Robert is grateful that he decided to become the author of his first book.

Why do Christians believe? Why do non-christians disbelieve? Christians know that they must believe on faith but non-christians often fail to understand that their disbelief is also based on faith.This is a book about why it is "ok" to believe what is written in the Bible, all of it. In defense of Christian belief it explores ideas such as: What does God say about those who dispute the Bible's authenticity?What does mathematical logic have to say about human limitations?What does mathematical logic say about its own limitations?What does science actually say?What does God have to say about why we can believe Him?Where do "facts" come from?How does all of this affect us?When Christians hear words to the effect that the things written in the Bible are not believable, they may accept that their faith just doesn't hold up in a data driven world that is based on fact and proof. Such a perception is not true.ShortWhen Christians hear words to the effect that the things written in the Bible are not believable, they may accept that their faith just doesn't hold up in a data driven world based on fact and proof.

People worry that computers, robots, interstellar aliens, or Satan himself – brilliant, stealthy, ruthless creatures – may seize control of our world and destroy what’s uniquely valuable about the human race. Cultural Evolution and its Discontents shows that our cultural systems – especially those whose last names are "ism" – are already doing that, and doing it so adeptly that we seldom even notice. Like other parasites, they’ve blindly evolved to exploit us for their own survival. Creative arts and humanistic scholarship are our best tools for diagnosis and cure.The assemblages of ideas that have survived, like the assemblages of biological cells that have survived, are the ones good at protecting and reproducing themselves. They aren’t necessarily the ones that guide us toward our most admirable selves or our healthiest future. Relying so heavily on culture to protect our uniquely open minds from cognitive overload makes us vulnerable to hijacking by the systems that co-evolve with us. Recognizing the selfish Darwinian functions of these systems makes sense of many aspects of history, politics, economics, and popular culture. What drove the Protestant Reformation? Why have the Beatles, The Hunger Games, and paranoid science-fiction thrived, and how was hip-hop co-opted? What alliances helped neoliberalism out-compete Communism, and what alliances might enable environmentalism to overcome consumerism? Why are multiculturalism and university-trained elites provoking working-class nationalist backlash? In a digital age, how can we use numbers without having them use us instead?Anyone who has wondered how our species can be so brilliant and so stupid at the same time may find an answer here: human mentalities are so complex that we crave the simplifications provided by our cultures, but the cultures that thrive are the ones that blind us to any interests that don’t correspond to their own.

Focussing on the relatively few small firms which grew rapidly, this book, originally published in 1993 uses face-to-face interviews as well as published records to identify and analyse the managerial factors most closely associated with successful small firms. The volume concentrates on the following key managerial issues: In what respects do the managerial backgrounds and aspirations of the founders of fast-growth small firms differ from those of non-fast-growth small firms? How is the process of growth managed? What incentives, remuneration packages and communication systems are instituted? How do these characteristics and experiences differ in fast-growth small firms from both the traditional small firm and large-firm sector? To what extent is it possible to explain the relative economic performance of small firms in terms of differences in their ownership, organizational and management structures.

This study, originally published in 1987, addresses the question of small firm performance. Drawing on an extensive database containing financial, employment and ownership data for several thousand small firms, the book examines whether small firms do actually provide jobs, whether they grow and why small firms fail. Guidance is given on how to spot the signs of impending failure in a small business, which is of use to accountants small business PR actioners and government grant providers.
