Sinopse

Prophetic Visions explores the significant influence of prophetic visions and revelations on religious history, political events, and societal norms. It delves into how these visions, whether divinely inspired or human constructs, have shaped religious doctrine and ignited social movements across diverse cultures. The book uniquely examines the interpretation of sacred texts (hermeneutics) and how differing interpretations have led to varied theological outcomes, highlighting the dynamic interplay between religious belief and worldly power.

 
The book analyzes case studies from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, to demonstrate how prophecy has been used to justify social reforms, inspire revolutionary movements, and legitimize political authority. It reveals how prophetic pronouncements provide a framework for understanding the world, motivating action, and shaping collective identity.

 
Beginning with an introduction to prophecy, the book progresses to exploring hermeneutical approaches, followed by case studies and culminating in a discussion of prophecy's legacy and relevance to contemporary issues. This approach offers readers a balanced, objective analysis of prophetic traditions, demonstrating their enduring capacity to influence human behavior and the course of history.

The Two-Parent Privilege - How...

Melissa S. Kearney

In The Two-Parent Privilege, Melissa S. Kearney makes a data-driven case for marriage by showing how the institution's decline has led to a host of economic woes—problems that have fractured American society and rendered vulnerable populations even more vulnerable. Eschewing the religious and values-based arguments that have long dominated this conversation, Kearney shows how the greatest impacts of marriage are, in fact, economic: when two adults marry, their economic and household lives improve, offering a host of benefits not only for the married adults but for their children. Studies show that these effects are today starker, and more unevenly distributed, than ever before. Kearney examines the underlying causes of the marriage decline in the US and draws lessons for how this trend can be reversed. 
 
 
 
Kearney's research shows that a household that includes two married parents functions as an economic vehicle that advantages some children over others. For many, the two-parent home may be an old-fashioned symbol of the American dream. But this book makes it clear that marriage may be our best path to a more equitable future. By confronting the critical role that family makeup plays in shaping children's futures, Kearney offers a critical assessment of what a decline in marriage means for an economy and a society—and what we must do to change course.

A Set of Six

Joseph Conrad

Each of the stories in this collection is spun from a simple, if typically wry and bleak, idea. In "Gaspar Ruiz", a South American general who has fought in a war of independence tells his guests a long tale about a notorious strong man that explains the origin of his current domestic arrangements. "The Informer" leads the reader into the depths of a political conspiracy, dealing very slyly indeed with questions of truth and pretence. In "The Brute", we are asked whether we can believe there could be such a thing as a positively malevolent ship, while "An Anarchist" introduces us to an unfortunate man who has had a vision of society itself as malevolent and has not been able to rest in peace ever since. "The Duel", the most obviously likeable tale in this collection, recounts the history of an unfortunate feud between two officers of Napoleon's army that caused them to fight a series of duels over many years. "Il Conde" rounds out the collection, giving a new twist to the saying "See Naples and die".

The Book of Eastbay - Two...

Rick Gering, Art Juedes, Brandon...

Unable to contain himself, Rick pitched Art: move back to Wausau and start a business selling shoes. Art said, "What are you, an idiot? Selling shoes? How is this even worth trying?" 
 
This is the story of Eastbay, a startup tale unlike most you've heard. First it was $5,000 worth of track sneakers sold out of the back of an AMC Gremlin. Then it was a quiet storefront in Wausau, Wisconsin. Then it became a catalog, a bible to GenX kids growing up in the 1980s and '90s, a powerful tastemaker so authentic that pro athletes swore by it. Sneakerhead culture started here. 
 
Eastbay was  a company ahead of its time that mastered mail-order selling before Amazon existed. That grew so fast and was so successful in the first athletic mail-order wholesale shoe business that Nike pulled its AIR products from the catalog. After five years, Nike decided to allow AIR products back into the Eastbay catalog and ultimately Eastbay partnered with Nike to produce several Nike catalogs. 
 
Sneakers are a global obsession, and it all started here, where kids were encouraged to dream big, and dream often, which is just what the founders were doing all along. This is their story. This is The Book of Eastbay.
