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.
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS GOING TO COME BACK TO
THIS EARTH AGAIN? I do. And I don't see any other hope for the
world because we're heading toward a catastrophe. The Bible says,
"Scoffers will come in the last days. . . . They will say, 'Where
is the promise of his coming?' For they deliberately overlook this
fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed
out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by
means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water
and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now
exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment
and destruction of the ungodly" (2 Peter 3:3-7). The Word of God,
the Bible, speaks of the certainties of the end of the world. Jesus
said, "As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son
of Man" (Matthew 24:37). What were the days of Noah like? And is
there a parallel for today? The people of Noah's day were very
wicked: "Every intention of the thoughts" of their hearts was "only
evil continually" (Genesis 6:5). Marriage was abused, people were
corrupt, violence prevailed (Genesis 6:1-13). There was a lot of
"religion," but it was decadent. People were preoccupied with
things and didn't have time for God. So God warned them, "Unless
you repent and change your ways, you're going to face judgment." In
the middle of all that corruption, Noah dared to live for God. Noah
believed in God, and true faith determined how he lived. By that
faith Noah built a ship in the middle of the desert, and he and his
family were saved when the waters of destruction came (Genesis
6:1-13, Hebrews 11:7). True faith should determine how we live,
too. Today the only bright spot on the horizon of this world's
future is the promise of the return of Jesus Christ. We can't go on
like this much longer, either morally or scientifically. The
technology that was supposed to save us is ready to destroy us. Yet
we're not to wait in terror, because as Christians, we have the
hope of the return of Christ. When is he going to return? Jesus
said, "Concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the
angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only" (Matthew
24:36). NOAH BELIEVED IN GOD, AND TRUE FAITH DETERMINED HOW HE
LIVED. TRUE FAITH SHOULD DETERMINE HOW WE LIVE, TOO. But are you
ready when the end of life in this world comes for you personally?
The Bible says, "It is appointed for man to die once, and after
that comes judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). It is coming the moment you
die, and that could be at any time for any of us. You may be
expecting to live for many more years, but you can't know for sure.
We never know. One of the biblical prophets wrote, "Prepare to meet
your God" (Amos 4:12). What have you done spiritually in your life
to prepare for that moment when your heart stops beating? The Bible
also says about Jesus: "There is salvation [from God's judgment for
sin] in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given
among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). You need to make
a commitment to Christ today. First, repent of your sins, including
all of those things we say and do that offend other people, and God
himself! "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"
(Romans 3:23). Without God's Spirit coming to live within us we
don't have the strength to change and live a life that pleases God.
That's why we need to be saved! Repentance means that you say to
God, "I have sinned. I am sorry for my sins. I want to change my
way of living by your empowerment." Second, you come to God by
faith. That means that you put your whole trust in him and say,
"Lord, I believe Christ's death for me provides everything I need
to be forgiven for my sins and become accepted by you. I trust in
Jesus alone for my salvation. Please save me now and help me live
for you." You may be a good person. You may do all the good that
you can think of, but all of that isn't enough. You must come in
childlike faith to Jesus who died on the cross for you, who rose
again, who is waiting for you to make that commitment. ARE YOU
READY TO MEET GOD?

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.
Almost 2,000 British Prisoners of War were aboard the Japanese
freighter Lisbon Maru when an American submarine torpedoed and sank
her in October 1942. This book tells the story of those men, from
the fighting in Hong Kong, through the sinking, and -- for some -
to liberation and beyond.
