The venue was the canteen block of the Red Hammer Cement Works. It
was the usual set-up: way out of town, secretive directions to get
there, and disco lights blazing... Moscow, 1993. The end of the
Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union have brought
unimaginable change to Russia. With this change come new freedoms:
freedom to travel abroad and to befriend Westerners, freedom to
make money, and even the freedom for an underground gay scene to
take root. Encouraged by the new climate of openness,
twenty-one-year-old Kostya ventures out of the closet and resolves
to pursue his dreams: to work in the theatre and to find love as
his idol Tchaikovsky never could. Those dreams, however, lead to
tragedy - not only for Kostya, but for his mother and for the two
young men he loves, as all three face up to the ways they have
betrayed him. Last Dance at the Discotheque for Deviants is both a
gripping mystery and a poignant, very human tale of people beset by
forces beyond their control, in a world where all the old
certainties have crumbled and it's far from clear what will
eventually take their place.
Paul David Tripp shares 52 weekly devotionals about the beauty and
significance of church, helping readers fully prepare their hearts
for vibrant corporate worship.
If animals tried to be kind . . .what would they do? Porcupine
would knit a scarf for Giraffe, long enough to fit. Cat would
snuggle Mouse to sleep with her lullaby purrrrrr. Stork would lift
up Lizard, so she could be close to the sky, just once. And across
the animal kingdom, every creature would try to be thoughtful and
kind to each other. Another winner from Ann Whitford Paul and David
Walker, If Animals Tried to Be Kind is perfect for showing children
the power of being considerate and caring.

Pleasure.
We live in a world obsessed with finding it, passionate to enjoy
it, and desperate to maintain it. Chief among such pleasures are
sex and money--two pleasures unrivaled in their power to captivate
our attention, demand our worship, and drive us to hide or to
despair.
You don't have to look far to see that we are in big trouble in
both areas. Many of us see the battle. We feel the strain of the
war. And we are eager for freedom in a world gone mad.
Seasoned counselor and pastor Paul David Tripp pulls back the
curtain on the lies that surround us and on the distortions we
often overlook. As Tripp thoughtfully exposes the insanity of our
culture, he also wisely speaks to our own tendencies to fall prey
to sexual and financial idolatry.
Sex and Money ultimately directs us to God's Word and the
liberating power of the gospel, offering real-world advice, and
giving us the guidance we need to find true joy and enduring
satisfaction.

GRACE-FILLED PARENTING There is nothing more important to
consistent, faithful, patient, loving, and effective parenting than
to understand what God has given you in the grace of his Son, the
Lord Jesus Christ. Understanding God's grace will change you, and
as it changes you, it will change the way you relate to and parent
your children. God doesn't call people to be parents because they
are able. If you read your Bible carefully, you will understand
that God doesn't call able people to do important things. Abraham
wasn't able. Moses wasn't able. David wasn't able. The disciples
weren't able, and the story goes on. The reason for this is that
there are no able people out there. They just don't exist. And they
surely don't exist as parents. God did not create human beings to
be independently able; he designed us to be dependent. It's not a
sign of personal weakness or failure of character to feel unable as
a parent. None of us has the natural storehouse of wisdom,
strength, patience, mercy, and perseverance that every parent needs
in order to do his or her job well. Since independent ability, like
independent right-eousness, is a delusion, why would a God of
perfect wisdom ask inadequate people to do such an important job?
The answer is so crucial to grasp. God calls unable people to do
important things because ultimately what he's working on is not
your immediate success, but that you would come to know him, to
love him, to rest in his grace, and to live for his glory. God
calls unable people to do the impossible so that in your search for
help, you would find more than help--you would find him. God never
sends you into anything without going with you. He never tells you
to do something without giving you what you need to do it. This is
the story of the whole Bible. This is why God sent his Son to
earth. But what does this have to do with parenting? Everything! It
means that if you are God's child--if you have placed your trust in
his Son, Jesus Christ, as your Savior from your inherent sin--it is
impossible for you to be left to your own limited package of
resources. God is in you and with you! In the morning, when you
dread getting out of bed and facing another hard parenting day, God
is with you. He is with you when your children are in your face and
disrespectful. He is with you when you fall into bed with a
combination of exhaustion and regret. He gifts you with his
presence. And he will not turn his back on you until what he has
called you to do as a parent is complete. What do you have as a
Christian parent? You have the best thing ever and with it you have
hope. You have God in every moment of the day. But, will you
remember that you do? God's grace works to open your eyes to see
yourself as a parent accurately. If you fall into thinking that you
(as the parent) keep God's law perfectly, then you expect the
people around you to do the same. This self-righteousness will have
a negative effect on your relationship with your children and the
way you handle their weakness and failures. So here's what God does
in all of our lives. He uses things like our marriages and our
parenting to expose thoughts, attitudes, and desires in our hearts
that we previously denied were there. God uses irritation,
impatience, anger, and lack of gentleness and joy to show how much
we need his forgiving and transforming grace. God's plan is to make
his invisible grace visible to children by sending parents of grace
to give grace to children who need it. And parents who know they
need grace tend to want to give grace to children who are just like
them. God's grace grows and changes you as a parent. Remember the
gospel; although the power of sin has been broken in the beautiful
justifying mercies of Jesus Christ, the presence of sin still
remains with us. So God's present zeal is to progressively deliver
us from the remaining hold that sin has on us. Think about how
beautiful this is. In every moment you are parenting your children,
the heavenly Father is parenting you. As you are lovingly
confronting your children with the hope that they would confess
their need and commit to change, the heavenly Father is confronting
you. God hasn't just sent you to do his work in the lives of your
children; he will use the lives of your children to advance his
work in you. God's grace liberates you from the prison of regret.
One of the most beautiful things about God's grace is that it
welcomes you to fresh starts and new beginnings. Way too many
parents are paralyzed by the "what ifs" and "if onlys." Yes, you
will make mistakes. Yes, you will learn and grow as a parent. Yes,
you will look back and be embarrassed by things you said and things
you did. If you're at all humble as a parent, you will look back
with some regret. But it's important to understand that although
regret is a sign of a humble heart, it is also dangerous and
debilitating to live in regret. Living in regret robs you of your
confidence. It weakens or steals your hope. And for all of its
remembering, regret can be tragically forgetful. It tends to forget
the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. On the cross, Jesus bore the
entire burden of our guilt and our shame. On the cross, Jesus
purchased, by the shedding of his blood, our complete forgiveness:
past, present, and future. This means we can boldly come to him in
our failure, receive his forgiveness, deposit our regret at his
feet, and move on to new and better ways of doing what he's called
us to do as parents. God has called you to be a parent. How does he
give you what you need for this calling? He gives you what you need
by giving you himself, and in giving you himself, he showers his
amazing, forgiving, rescuing, transforming, empowering, and
wisdom-giving grace down on you. The one who called you to this
very important job is with you. And because he is always with you,
you as a parent can always have hope.
Fritz Machlup (1902-83), the Austrian-American economist, is
recognized as one of the first scholars to examine knowledge as an
economic resource and, for more than half a century, many other
economists and management theorists have also argued that economic
growth is-or soon will be-dependent on the effective acquisition,
transmission, and application of information and ideas. As serious
scholarly work on and around 'the knowledge economy' continues to
flourish, this new four-volume collection from Routledge's Critical
Concepts in Economics series meets the need for an authoritative,
up-to-date, and comprehensive reference work to make better sense
of a voluminous-and somewhat amorphous-body of literature. The
Economics of Knowledge and the Knowledge-Driven Economy provides a
'one-stop' collection of classic and contemporary contributions to
facilitate ready access to the most influential and important
scholarship from a wide range of theoretical and practical
perspectives. As well as gathering the best work of economists, the
collection also incorporates insights from disciplines including
Management Science, Law, Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, and
Political Science. The Economics of Knowledge and the
Knowledge-Driven Economy is compiled by Cristiano Antonelli (editor
of Routledge's earlier collection on The Economics of Innovation
(2008) (978-0-415-42677-0)) and Paul A. David, leading scholars in
the field. The Economics of Knowledge and the Knowledge-Driven
Economy is fully indexed and has a newly written introduction which
places the gathered material in its intellectual context. It is an
essential work of reference and is destined to be valued by
scholars and students as a vital one-stop research resource.
