The End Begins
His daughter’s kidnapping destroyed his marriage, ripped apart his family, and nearly killed him. But, when his never-ending search for her uncovers dark secrets of one of Washington’s most powerful men, he finds himself in that man’s cross-hairs. Now Adam Afton, broken and alcoholic, has to quicken his pace to find his missing daughter, while staying one step ahead of the most dangerous killers in the world. For Aric Afton, the disappearance of his older brother is an enigma that is eating away at their family. The last time Adam fell off their radar, he had taken refuge in an alcoholic stupor, but was quickly found. Not this time. So, when Aric receives a cryptic, anonymous postcard, he knows he has to act—Adam is in trouble . . . and Aric will be there to help, calling on his faith, just as he had the first time.
The Capability Approach and Sustainability
This is the first book dedicated exclusively to the question of the relationships between sustainability and the capability approach. It is rather astonishing that the issue of sustainability first posed by the Brundtland commission in 1987 has gained so little attention from capability scholars despite the approach’s focus on human well-being. This book starts with a seminal contribution by Sen on the "Ends and Means of Sustainability" delivered as a keynote in 2000. All contributions to the book focus on the difficulties that arise from a freedom-oriented view of sustainability: they argue for taking note of the impact of human life on nature, they question the meaning of intergeneration...

Reasons to Hope
Werner G. Jeanrond approaches hope from the perspective of a theology of love. He distinguishes human hopes from the hope which God has given to humanity. Jeanrond discusses the challenges of a Christian praxis of hope in today's world and invites both a new conversation on a future with God and a reassessment of the potential of hope for Christian discipleship. Jeanrond argues that memory is important for hope, and that nobody can hope for herself or himself alone. Hope thus invites personal, communal, political and global participation and transformation. Moreover, it gives rise to a powerful constellation of symbolic expressions, including judgement, heaven, hell, and purgatory, that call for ongoing interpretation. Ranging from radical hope and the hope for salvation, to the power of judgment and contemporary fears about the future of nations, humankind and the world, Jeanrond's latest work offers a theological contribution to the multireligious conversation on hope, death and the human future in our universe.
