Pontificating on future trends has long been an entertaining pastime for business leaders, sociologists, economists, educators, and even pastors. Inevitably, and somewhat ironically, most of these men and women forecast the future based on what has happened in the past. Much of the time that seems to work well enough. Well enough at least, to keep us all buying their books and listening to their podcasts. Every now and then something in the world around us makes an unexpected break from precedent. Every now and then there's a fundamental shift in the way things work. One such shift is taking place right now in American culture. A new generation has grown up that neither knows the Lord nor what he has done. And the church is not prepared to be the church in that culture.

In an alternate future where the British empire never crumbled, the space ships of Her Majesty’s Navy work to keep the spaceways safe. Commander Robert Rogers of the Royal Space Navy is a defense intelligence officer known for his unconventional ways. Rogers is American born-and-raised, a loyal citizen of the Viceroyalty of North America. He’s a descendant of the founder of the highly effective, pro-British Rogers’ Rangers during the Colonial unpleasantries of 1776, and he’s inherited his ancestor’s intelligence and drive in spades. But there are those among the stars who are not so happy being subjects of the British Empire. In the Tau Ceti system, a cauldron of trouble brews as a terrorist faction of the rebellious Sons of Arnold attacks the empire from within, and warships of the theocratic Caliphate enters the system, prepared to do their worse to destroy the hated empire head on. Yet standing against the coming anarchy and tyranny is one intrepid spy prepared to risk all for queen and empire: COMMANDER ROBERT ROGERS, HER MAJESTY’S AMERICAN About Steve White: “Creative . . .

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese Navy launched a surprise attack on American military bases in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Well-planned and excellently coordinated, the attack devastated the US Pacific Fleet: in less than two hours, Japanese aircraft had sunk or damaged all eight US battleships anchored in the harbor, and had destroyed 151 planes. Unwillingly thrust into battle, the United States could have only one response - war. This book illustrates the attack that brought the United States into the Second World War through 36 pages of comic book-style narrative. It includes eight pages of background information, detailing the key players, the experience of the forces and the aftermath of the battle.

What will the future of Texas be? Will its population continue to increase, and if so how rapidly and where will this growth be most extensive? Will its wealth increase with its population, or will per capita levels of income and wealth decrease? What are the opportunities and challenges state government is likely to face in the first decades of the twenty-first century? A team led by State Demographer Steve H. Murdock examines these questions using new figures gathered in the decennial national census of 2000. From their analysis they are able to examine the effects of four major demographic trends that continue markedly to affect Texas and other parts of the nation. The New Texas Challenge explores: · changes in the rates and sources of population growth · the aging and age structure of the population · growth in the non-Anglo population · the changing composition of Texas households The intent is both to provide an overview of how far Texas has come and to suggest where it may be going under conditions prevailing in the first years of this century.
