Religion and the Health of the Public fills a major gap in academic literature on religion and public health. Its innovative concepts provide a comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding and working on the interface between religion and public health. It draws on global health history and practice - from London's 1854 cholera outbreak, to HIV in Africa today, to large and novel hospital and congregational partnerships in the Memphis. Calling for "deep accountability" by religious and public health leaders, it deals with the embodied religious mind, religious health assets, leading causes of life, boundary leadership, congregate strengths, and a healthy political economy - all in the service of transformation.

This profound question, "Who told you that you were naked?, meant much more than, "Who told you that you do not have on clothes?" From God's perspective nakedness meant so much more. It meant condemnation and deprivation to his most precious creation-mankind. Though He reconciled Adam's condition by clothing him in coats of lambs' skin, Adam never got over what he had done. Condemnation has dominated ever since. Now we have a more permanent solution. We have been clothed with Christ Redeemed men who carry the curse of condemnation and deprivation cannot fulfill their purpose as husbands, fathers, community and business leaders-world changers Adam never gave God a straight answer. It's time to answer that question. WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU WERE NAKED?

Who is God, really? Is He an authoritarian father, giving us a ton of rules and then looking down on us waiting to strike us dead if we don't obey them? Is He a loving father who looks the other way when we sin? Or is He something else altogether? Many times Christians and non-Christians alike are tempted to base their ideas about God on what they see in their own earthly father. In this devotional guide from Devotions for Disciples, Matthew J. Cochran takes a look at the attributes of God the Father, the first person of the Trinitarian God.

Devotions for Disciples provides a guide for meditation and reflection on God's Word, focusing on a range of topics from what the Triune nature of God means to the life of a Christian to how one can know true love.

People from all walks of life have asked the question. Who is Jesus Christ? Matthew J. Cochran, author of the Devotions for Disciples series, enters into the arena of this deep theological question and attempts to engage the reader in not only an understanding of who Jesus is, but what it means to all of our lives.

Consumer demand for organic products has widened over the last decade. While new producers have emerged to help meet demand, market participants report that a supply squeeze is constraining growth for both individual firms and the organic sector overall. Partly in response to shortages in organic supply, Congress in 2008 included provisions in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act that, for the first time, provide financial support to farmers to convert to organic production. This book examines recent economic research on the adoption of organic farming systems, organic production costs and returns, and market conditions to gain a better understanding of the organic supply squeeze and other emerging issues in this rapidly changing industry.
