  Without light, there is no color. 
  An object appears colored because of the way it interacts with light. The color itself comes from the light. The blue crayon is only blue because of the amount of light that is present, absorbed, and reflected off the crayon. 
  Matthew 24 says "Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world." 
  We are God’s crayons! He wants us to color this world by shining light on every part. 
  Our mission is to color the entire world. 
  In this book, we’ll explore how God is like a box of crayons by looking at the colors that are inside of the box. 
  I am excited to color this world with you through this 30-day devotional. God is light, He is color, God is Like a Box of Crayons. 
  Includes 31 downloadable devotional adult coloring pages for you to print off.

  New Life in Christ is a multi-volume anthology of the writings and sermons written and presented by Dr. Strem during his many years in pastoral ministry. These volumes present the breadth of Christian theology in a personal and informal manner that serves to address the application of Christian faith in daily life. Written during a time when there is a great need for discipleship in the community of Christian faith, Dr. Strem addresses that need by organizing the material in a manner that may be used both as a reference text on theological subjects and for instruction in Christian living. -- Dr Jack Carter, General Editor, The Journal of Biblical Theology. 
  Dr. Strem has been a mentor and disciple-maker for me and my family for twenty years. Faithfully teaching God’s Word so that both the layman and the scholar are able to understand, Dr. Strem has also remained a friend in the work of the ministry, benefiting the church and the community with love and hard work. I highly recommend these years of teaching in this written word to those who want to grow well in Christ. -- Donna Arthur - Editor and Teacher -- Trinity EFC 
  Dave Strem has been a faithful, loyal preacher of Jesus for decades! In this book you'll see the heart of a man that uses God's word mixed with his own creativity, stories, and a unique passion for life to help you fall more in love with Jesus! -- Zach Zehnder -- Lead Pastor -- theCross.family

  Play It Right - The Remarkable...

  A real-life underdog tale of one man turning the tables on the casinos and Wall Street without selling his soul to the devil
  		 
  All around the world, the words “Wall Street” conjure up a powerful image. For some, it is the center of America’s capitalist system and the engine of its economic growth. For others, it is the home of rapacious bankers and reckless traders whose greed would lead to a global financial crisis. For an Indian-born blackjack player, Wall Street represented something else entirely — a chance for him to play in the largest casino in the world.
  		 
  Kamal Gupta’s improbable journey, from a wide-eyed Indian immigrant to an ultimate insider in the rarefied world of investment banks and hedge funds, is a uniquely American story. Nowhere else would it have been possible for a scrawny computer scientist to enter the world of high finance solely on the basis of his gambling abilities. After spending seven years creating an investment methodology, Gupta went on an incredible run, generating an unprecedented 103 consecutive months of positive returns while managing money at large hedge funds. His success did not go unnoticed, and he found himself under constant pressure to take bigger risks to make even more money. He refused and always played it right, knowing that there was such a thing as “enough” money, something very few, if any, of his Wall Street peers understood.
  		 
  Much like Maria Konnikova’s bestseller, The Biggest Bluff, Play It Right isn’t so much about money as it is about the human condition and beating the odds, whether at a casino, on Wall Street, or in life itself.

  The Wasps

  Aristophanes

  In The Wasps, the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes delivers a sharp and humorous critique of Athenian society, focusing on the jury system and the older generation’s obsession with power. The play centers on Philocleon ("Cleon-lover"), an elderly man addicted to serving as a juror—and thus indirectly supporting the corrupt politician Cleon—whom his son Bdelycleon tries to reform and keep at home. Much of the comedy arises from the absurd clash between father and son, including a farcical courtroom trial of a dog accused of theft. Through satire, slapstick, and biting social commentary, Aristophanes mocks the judicial system’s susceptibility to abuse, the gullibility of jurors, and the challenges of generational conflict. Combining humor with incisive political criticism, The Wasps remains a brilliant reflection on justice, civic duty, and the folly of blind loyalty.

  This treasured historical satire, played out in two very different socioeconomic worlds of 16th-century England, centers around the lives of two boys born in London on the same day: Edward, Prince of Wales and Tom Canty, a street beggar. During a chance encounter, the two realize they are identical and, as a lark, decide to exchange clothes and roles--a situation that briefly, but drastically, alters the lives of both youngsters.
  
  The Prince, dressed in rags, wanders about the city's boisterous neighborhoods among the lower classes and endures a series of hardships; meanwhile, poor Tom, now living with the royals, is constantly filled with the dread of being discovered for who and what he really is.

  Ever wondered when board games got so good? 
   
  The last forty years have seen nothing short of a revolution in the world of tabletop games. No longer synonymous with family arguments over a game of Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit, board games and the once niche hobby of tabletop gaming have moved into the mainstream over the last four decades, with modern  
  classics like CATAN, Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne becoming established household names. 
   
  In this informative and entertaining volume, this revolution in tabletop gaming is revealed and reviewed by one of the most knowledgeable commentators there is.  
   
  James Wallis explores the evolving world of board games through the lens of the Spiel des Jahres, Germany’s prestigious Game of the Year award, looking at a host of past winners catapulted to worldwide popularity, once lauded games now sadly forgotten, and a few popular hits that somehow missed out. Alongside this, Wallis  
  expertly chronicles the increasing sophistication in the design of modern board games and their ever growing variety.  
   
  Everybody Wins is a book for anyone who loves games, wonders what all the fuss is about or just wants to know what to play next—the essential, hugely readable study of the modern board game.
