  Christians are under increasing pressure to be silent. We're led to believe that, at best, our beliefs are outdated, and at worst they are dangerous. Silenced by fear, it's all too easy to keep quiet. But our Christian faith was never meant to be private. Jesus' followers are instructed to be deliberately and willingly different, seeking to share the life-changing good news they've heard with everyone, whatever the cost. We might feel that we fall very short of this confident evangelistic lifestyle, but John Lennox shows us that any one of us can become an effective gospel witness.  Using examples from the Bible and from his own life, John explains practically how we can winsomely share Jesus with our friends, despite our fears. He argues that it is possible to stand up to the pressure society places on us, and in so doing we ll find our Christian life grows in strength and joy

  Doctor Peter Diamond is an integrative Cardiologist who has been practicing medicine for over 45 years. A graduate of the University of Notre Dame and Loyola’s Stritch School of Medicine, he was inspired to pursue a career in medicine and writing by his physician father, who was the author of several books. His passion for integrative health care has driven his desire to share his experiences in a format that can both guide and educate patients who are seeking to improve their quality of life. He hopes to reestablish the link between the physical and spiritual aspects of every human being that has diminished as the practice of medicine evolves into a more technological and profit driven profession. He shares his life with his wife, four children, their spouses and several grandchildren. His priorities are centered around God, family and his personal focus on optimum health. He continues to compete in triathlons and his newest hobby is Pickleball. His frustrating attempt at golf has allowed for a life well-lived with a wonderful mixture of humility and endless entertainment.

Despite remarkable progress in treating cardiovascular diseases, the prevalence of heart issues persists due to soaring risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and dementia. Dr. Diamond's book takes a unique approach by focusing on the root causes of these ailments in individual patients, rather than relying solely on medications and tests. Within these pages, you'll explore the intricate landscape of heart-related illnesses and their associated risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, lipid imbalances, sleep disorders, and chronic stress. Dr. Diamond goes beyond conventional medicine, offering alternative therapies that often go unmentioned by most physicians. But the book doesn't stop at the physical aspects of health.

  The Pandemic Workplace - How We...

  A provocative book arguing that the workplace is where we learn to live democratically. 
   
  In The Pandemic Workplace, anthropologist Ilana Gershon turns her attention to the US workplace and how it changed—and changed us—during the pandemic. She argues that the unprecedented organizational challenges of the pandemic forced us to radically reexamine our attitudes about work and to think more deeply about how values clash in the workplace. These changes also led us as workers to engage more with the contracts that bind us as we rethought when and how we allow others to tell us what to do. 
   
  Based on over two hundred interviews, Gershon’s book reveals how negotiating these tensions during the pandemic made the workplace into a laboratory for democratic living—the key place where Americans are learning how to develop effective political strategies and think about the common good. Exploring the explicit and unspoken ways we are governed (and govern others) at work, this accessible book shows how the workplace teaches us to be democratic citizens.
