  Francis J. Grimké's Vision of the Christian Life 
  Francis Grimké's life left a significant mark on American Christianity at the turn of the 20th century. Born enslaved in South Carolina, Grimké dedicated his life to teaching and preaching the gospel and confronting the racism and injustice of his time. For 50 years, he served as a Presbyterian pastor in Washington, DC, emerging as a prominent leader in the early civil rights movement.
  This book explores Grimké's vision of the Christian life, emphasizing his beliefs on personal piety, family, the mission of the church, and the relationship between faith and politics. His blend of doctrinal integrity and social concern helps readers wisely engage in topics like race, ethnicity, culture, and politics in the church today. As the church continues to navigate these polarized issues, Grimké reminds us that, through Christ, unity is possible.

  Narasingha Dev is the half-man half-lion avatar of Lord Vishnu. He is the Lord who bestows protection, removes enemies and evil spirits from his devotees, and protects them from Maya, or illusion. 
  When his pure devotee Prahlada Maharaja, who was mere a boy, was threatened by own his father, King Hiranyakashipu, for no other reason except for his devotion to Lord Vishnu, Lord Vishnu appeared on earth as the dreadful Narasinghadev. 
   
  The cruel Hiranyakashipu had a boon that he could be killed neither by a man nor an animal, not in the day and nor the night, neither inside nor outside, neither on the ground nor in the air, and not by any weapon. 
   
  It was at dusk, when it is no longer daytime and not yet night, when Lord Vishnu appeared to protect Prahlada. Neither a man nor an animal, his lion head roared as he displayed his large teeth and his sharp nails shone as he grabbed Hiranyakashipu, placing him on his human lap – neither in the air nor on the ground. With no weapon, except for his sharp, long nails, he killed the evil king and saved the life of the young Prahlada. 
   
  Narasingha Dev is very fierce to the enemies (impurities) but very gentle and sweet to those whose heart is pure. So sweet, that one devotee of Lord Narasimha, Paramahaṁsat yati Jiyar, wrote in a prayer: 
  "O Lord Nṛsiṁha, O Mukunda, Madhusūdana, Murāri, Vāmana, you are the shelter of the surrendered souls. O Lord of the demigods, cause of all causes, please do not neglect me. Kindly fulfill my desire of passing my whole life chanting your holy names." 
   
  Here is a moving dramatic telling of the 5000-year-old saga which will purify and uplift all listeners by Emmy-nominated actor Sripad Jagannatha Das. Das is a lifelong Bhakti yogi and devotee of Sri Krsna.

  " Life in the Body of Christ is a must read for every Christian. Every age group in every evangelical church should make it a point to study this book chapter by chapter, look seriously at every suggestion, and meditate on every Scripture suggested for that purpose. Curtis Thomas has given us a gift, a stimulus to edifying reflection and action on every pertinent aspect of corporate and individual responsibility and privilege to be pursued in the life of a local church. His suggestions are brief but turgid with biblical insight and healthy church experience. His questions are provocative of the most Christ-honoring train of thought. The variety of subjects that he introduces prompts a real seriousness about the comprehensiveness of Christian worship, discipleship, fellowship and witness. Don’t miss this simple but mature guide to an ever-increasing conformity to Christ-centered, Bible-warranted church life."—Tom J. Nettles"

  Learn to understand culture and implement positive change. 
   
   
   
  A church's culture is the launchpad for everything a church does, the starting point for every ministry. If the culture is "off," everything else will be out of kilter. Church Culture equips every pastor and leader with the tools necessary for culture change. Authors Ozier and Thibodeaux, both experts in this area of church leadership, teach the basic concepts so listeners can understand what culture is and why it's so crucial. Even more importantly, they provide a step-by-step process leaders can use to diagnose and gently shift the culture in their church. For some churches, wholesale change is in order, but most need only to make some crucial adjustments. The book provides a full set of tools for implementing the process in any setting. 
   
   
   
  The pastor's top priority is creating and maintaining the church's culture; Ozier and Thibodeaux make the tasks easy to understand and show leaders how to proceed capably and carefully.

  How do you apply game theory to select who should be on your Christmas shopping list? What equations should you use to decorate the Christmas tree? Will calculations show Santa is getting steadily thinner—shimmying up and down chimneys for a whole night—or fatter—as he munches on cookies and milk in billions of houses across the world?In The Indisputable Existence of Santa Claus, distinguished mathematicians Hannah Fry and Thomas Oléron Evans demonstrate, with eminent clarity, how applied mathematics are so thoroughly interwoven throughout our everyday lives by explaining mathematical concepts through one very merry motif: Christmas. In their quest to provide mathematical proof for the existence of Santa, the authors take listeners on a festive journey through a traditional holiday season, wherein every activity, from wrapping presents to playing board games to cooking the perfect turkey, is painstakingly and hilariously analyzed. Because who hasn't always wondered how to set up a mathematically perfect Secret Santa?Lighthearted and diverting with Christmasy equations, Markov chains, and matrices, The Indisputable Existence of Santa Claus brightens up the bleak midwinter with a stockingful of mathematical marvels.
