Did you know that you will soon be living in a world where: There are no checks, coins or paper money? All your money will exist only as electronic ones and zeros stored in computers? There is an impenetrable wall between you and your wealth? There is no privacy? All buying and selling must be approved? The world's economy and even your personal finances are controlled by one entity? Are you ready for the world's new economic system? Prepare now, because ready or not, here it comes! Glenn Guest has served as a pastor for over 24 years and has also had a career in military and industrial electronics.

Over the years the Lord has given Pastor Guest the privilege of teaching many classes on end time events and the Book of Revelation. He conducts classes in churches, schools, on radio and other venues as the Lord gives him the opportunity. www.stepstowardthemark.com

In order to understand today's Russia and former Soviet republics, it is vital to consider their socialist past. Caroline Humphrey, one of anthropology's most highly regarded thinkers on a number of topics including consumption, identity, and ritual, is the ideal guide to the intricacies of post-Soviet culture. The Unmaking of Soviet Life brings together ten of Humphrey's best essays, which cover, geographically, Central Russia, Siberia, and Mongolia; and thematically, the politics of locality, property, and persons.Bridging the strongest of Humphrey's work from 1991 to 2001, the essays do a great deal to demystify the sensational topics of mafia, barter, bribery, and the new shamanism by locating them in the lived experiences of a wide range of subjects. The Unmaking of Soviet Life includes a foreword and introductory paragraphs by Bruce Grant and Nancy Ries that precede each essay.
