For the State Department, image is a daily concern. Many
constituencies have to be taken into account in its public
declarations: the president, the Congress, the media, the taxpaying
public and, finally, the many foreign governments attentive to what
the State Department says and does. This book attempts, in large
measure, to shed light on matters that the Department prefers not
to talk about. A reporter has to be on the beat for a long time to
accumulate enough anecdotes to fill even a relatively small book.
In my case, my tenure in the building lasted just under 40 years. I
have brief profiles on all secretaries I covered (except for two
who served very briefly). I have highlighted bitter inter-agency
policy struggles-Iran and Iraq are examples. Humor is not ignored
on these pages. Nor were the rare instances of murder, two
involving career diplomats and another occurring on the
Department's seventh floor. At times, American diplomats have faced
appalling dangers overseas, leading in some instances to
assassinations, hostage takings or bombings of embassies. Every
secretary of state travels extensively abroad. I was privileged to
accompany nine to more than 80 countries. Some anecdotes I recount
relate to trips I did not take but heard about from others. I am
sure that many priceless stories, regardless of location, have fled
from my memory bank. I have resurrected those that didn't. George

The Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible encourages readers
to explore how the vital roots of the ancient Christian tradition
should inform and shape faithfulness today. In this addition to the
series, highly acclaimed author, speaker, and theologian Robert
Barron offers a theological exegesis of 2 Samuel. He highlights
three major themes: God's non-competitive transcendence, the play
between divine and non-divine causality, and the role of Old
Testament kingship. As with other volumes in the series, this book
is ideal for those called to ministry, serving as a rich resource
for preachers, teachers, students, and study groups.
Unexpectedly Catharina meets the ascended Master Jesus. He orders
her to write and publish this book, to tell the people what is
coming, and how to grow into their new attitudes towards the fifth
dimension. He shows that the masters are very close to humanity in
order to help and assist them. Love is waiting for everyone. He
initiates her and she starts to be his right hand. A book that
touches you deeply.
Galison's Reindeer Dash Mini Journals are very cute and perfectly

Blanche, Augustine, and Genevieve found themselves in the hysteria
ward of the Salpetriere Hospital in 1870s Paris, where their care
was directed by the prominent neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot. They
became medical celebrities: every week, eager crowds arrived at the
hospital to observe their symptoms; they were photographed,
sculpted, painted, and transformed into characters in novels. The
remarkable story of their lives as patients in the clinic is a
strange amalgam of intimate details and public exposure, science
and religion, medicine and the occult, hypnotism, love, and
theater. But who were Blanche, Augustine, and Genevieve? What role
did they play in their own peculiar form of stardom? And what
exactly were they suffering from? Hysteria with its dramatic
seizures, hallucinations, and reenactments of past traumas may be
an illness of the past, but the notions of femininity that lie
behind it offer insights into disorders of the present."
The post-Marxian, new historical materialism described in this book
breathes new life into our comprehension of the world. A 200-year
perspective on modernity tells us that an all-embracing physical
phenomenon holds humankind in its grip.
History has recorded two distinct global systems thus far:
"laissez faire/metal money," which spanned most of the 19th century
and lasted until the outbreak of World War I, and "mixed
economy/weak multilateralism," which began after 1945 and exists
today. The period between the two systems, 1914-1945, was a chaotic
transition. This evolutionary pulsation is well known to students
of thermodynamics. It corresponds to the behavior of expanding and
complexifying material systems.
The exhaustion of oil and other natural resources is pushing the
world toward a third global system that may be called "two-level
economy/strong multilateralism." It will be impossible to get there
without a new chaotic transition. No repeated warnings, academic
advice, moral advocacy, inspired reforms, or political leadership
can provide a shortcut around it. But if it took "1914-1945" to
make a relatively minor adjustment in the global order, what will
it take to make a major one?

"A new voice for a new generation, Katie Westenberg is exhorting us
to remember. We need this challenge. Read her book and take her
words to heart!"--Bestselling author BARBARA RAINEY In this
frenzied world, it's time to focus your faith. We live in a loud,
opinionated world of staggering distraction. It's not only
exhausting, but immobilizing. You are tempted to zone out, binge
watch, and doom scroll. With all of this distraction, it's hard to
keep focus on what matters most: God and His nearness in this very
moment. In this powerful resource--part book, part Bible
study--Katie Westenberg equips you to focus on what truly matters.
Leaning on Scripture, scientific studies of memory, and the power
of a renewed mind, she helps you uncover the ancient way of being
un-distractible. Here is the wake-up call our hearts are longing
for--and the clear-eyed focus our souls were made for.
We live in a world of fakers. Rather than being real with each
other, we present a carefully crafted persona that hides our faults
and magnifies our good qualities. But inside we long to be loved,
warts and all. We long to stop hiding from each other--and
especially from God.
With candor and clarity, pastor Rick Bezet calls readers to a life
built on authenticity, showing that the way to true freedom lies
through reclaiming our hearts, reviving our souls, and renewing our
minds in light of what God has done for us through Jesus Christ.
Through biblical stories and (often funny) personal examples, Bezet
encourages readers to live with passion, integrity, and
perseverance. He releases readers from the spiritual death that
comes with pretending and leads them into a new life characterized
by transparency rather than fear.
The Original Rider Waite Tarot is the most popular and widely used
tarot card deck in the world. First issued in 1910, each card is
rich in symbolism and striking in its design. The deck is
accompanied by an invaluable instructional book, The Key to the
Tarot explaining the history and usage of the tarot cards, of which
there are 78 divided into the Major and Minor Arcanas. The book can
be used in conjunction with any set of tarot cards, but it was
written in particular to accompany the 78-card Rider Waite tarot
deck which was designed by Pamela Colman Smith in accordance with
A. E. Waite's instructions. The Key to the Tarot explains the
history and symbolism of the cards and gives instructions on how to
use them for purposes of divination. This edition includes a
specially commissioned foreword by Liz Greene.
Put Your Faith Into Action
Do you ever feel like something in your faith is missing, that
going to church, studying the Bible, and tithing just aren't
enough? There has to be more, right? What would it look like to
truly "follow" Christ and not just believe in him?
David Nowell asked the very same questions, and was led to minister
to the "least of these," whom God loves deeply. In "Dirty Faith,"
Nowell shares powerful stories of faith in action, and encourages
us to move with him from the sidelines to the front line, to get
our hands dirty helping the hopeless, the disenfranchised, and the
poor.
Loving as God loves is central to the gospel, whether that means
taking in foster children, ministering to inmates at the local
jail, or something else God has in mind just for you. Let this
inspiring book help you find what's been missing in your faith.
"David Nowell has challenged not only our view of the church's
responsibility in light of the worldwide plague of violence on
children--from poverty to homelessness to prostitution--he has
challenged our view of Jesus Christ. Nowell's Jesus has dirt under
his fingernails and calluses on his hands. The Word becoming flesh
is not just incarnation, it is a holiness that is willing to be
stained by the brokenness of a world that would abuse an innocent
child. I want my staff to read this book. It will challenge them to
do what is required of them, and then some." --Dr. Walter Crouch,
President/CEO, Appalachia Service Project
"Filled with unforgettable stories from the field, Nowell's writing
will both break your heart and lift your vision. "Dirty Faith" is a
must-read for those who want to put their faith into action by
serving others." --Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, senior pastor, The Moody
Church
Philosophy is not a closed club or a secret society. It's for
anyone who thinks big questions are worth talking about. To get us
started, Douglas Groothuis unpacks seven pivotal sentences from the
history of western philosophy-a few famous, all short, none
trivial. Included are: "The unexamined life is not worth
living."-Socrates "You have made us for yourself, and our hearts
are restless until they rest in you."-Augustine "I think, therefore
I am."-Decartes "The heart has reasons, that reason knows nothing
of."-Pascal Sentences from Protagoras, Aristotle and Kierkegaard
round out this quick tour. Since every philosopher has a story, not
just a series of ideas, Groothuis also offers a bit of each one's
life to set the stage. The seven sterling sentences themselves,
while they can't tell us all there is to know, offer bridges into
other lands of thought which can spark new ideas and adventures.
And who knows where they might lead? The accessible primers in the
Introductions in Seven Sentences collection act as brief
introductions to an academic field, with simple organization: seven
key sentences that give readers a birds-eye view of an entire
discipline.
