Summary

'History of Carnation' presents a fascinating journey through time, chronicling how the humble Dianthus caryophyllus transformed from a wild Mediterranean cliff-dweller into one of the world's most beloved cultivated flowers. The book weaves together botanical science, cultural history, and horticultural practices to tell the compelling story of this remarkably resilient bloom, which has been captivating humans since ancient times.

 
Through meticulous research drawing from archaeological findings, historical manuscripts, and botanical records, the book reveals how carnations became powerful symbols of love and remembrance across different cultures. From their presence in ancient Greek garlands dating back to 300 BCE to their role in Medieval European medicine and Renaissance art, these flowers have continuously evolved in both cultivation and cultural significance. The text explores fascinating developments in carnation breeding, including how monastery gardens became early centers of cultivar development and how Persian merchants helped spread these beloved flowers throughout Asia.

 
What makes this book particularly valuable is its multidisciplinary approach, combining practical growing advice with rich historical context. Readers learn about modern cultivation techniques and challenges while discovering the flower's influence on art, economics, and social customs throughout history. Whether exploring the meaning behind different carnation colors or examining contemporary sustainable growing practices, the book offers both practical insights for gardeners and engaging historical perspectives for botanical enthusiasts.

AI Shepherds and Electric Sheep...

Sean O'Callaghan, Paul A. Hoffman

Since ChatGPT burst into the public consciousness in 2022, AI has thoroughly infiltrated everyday life. Machines can now take on work once thought to be solely the domain of human beings--from writing college essays to composing worship music. How should Christians respond to this brave new technology? 
 
In this accessible introduction to AI, Sean O'Callaghan and Paul Hoffman explore its social and ethical impacts for ministry and teaching. The authors shed light on the biblical vision for human flourishing--and on how AI can help or hinder that flourishing. Avoiding both alarmism and uncritical acceptance, O'Callaghan and Hoffman offer resources and practical tools for using AI in our classrooms and congregations. 
 
AI can write a generic three-point sermon, but it cannot replace an authentic encounter between humans and the divine. In a time of cultural confusion, O'Callaghan and Hoffman encourage readers to embrace the clarity found in the gospel. The book includes a foreword by A. Trevor Sutton.

The Power is in Webinars

Webinars have become one of the most popular ways to promote a business in the past few years.

They are so effective because they provide an impassiveness that other forums of media do not and attendees get real-time information delivered straight to them, not to mention the interactivity of question-and-answer sessions.

According to the Adobe Software blog, webinars rank in the top three of the content delivery methods out there.

How Do You Get Started?
In order to use a webinar to promote your business, you are going to need to know the secrets to a successful webinar.
With so much information out there, where do you even begin?

It's overwhelming, I know!

You could use the old "trial and error" method and fail.

You could waste hours of your time sifting through websites and videos and end up even worse than when you began.

The good news is I've written a handy eBook to help you get started — no matter whether you're a beginner.

I've put it all into one easy-to-understand course.
