Never a dull moment might best describe "America's Children." From the joy and trials of raising three small children to the despair of a broken family, your future and your family's may be at risk if unwise choices are made. The painful reality of a State dependency for the children grew into a three-headed monster with venomous fangs that were well-equipped to striking and tearing at my loved ones. It was our families that built and protected this great-nation; it is our job to build strong families and to protect them. The parenting journey is rewarding and challenging; victory belongs to those who have faith - faith in our God!

This book is about history and the practical power of language to reveal historical change. Christopher Ehret offers a methodological guide to applying language evidence in historical studies. He demonstrates how these methods allow us not only to recover the histories of time periods and places poorly served by written documentation, but also to enrich our understanding of well-documented regions and eras. A leading historian as well as historical linguist of Africa, Ehret provides in-depth examples from the language phyla of Africa, arguing that his comprehensive treatment can be applied by linguistically trained historians and historical linguists working with any language and in any area of the world.
Why do CEOs take home hundreds of millions and stockholders get peanuts? When did "business ethics" become an oxymoron? It didn't used to be this way. Our founders kept tight control over corporations. Then one highly dubious court decision, followed by another outright fraud gave corporations the same legal standing as human citizens. Free enterprise, capitalism and democracy are in a fight for survival against mega-corporations with treasuries richer than many countries. Read this to prepare for the battle that's sure to come. A refreshing, clear-eyed assessment of our highly flawed corporate culture, how it got that way and what we can do about it. A "must read" for any investor, student of business, corporate and political leader.
We all know that healthy partnerships are essential to fruitful boundary-crossing ministries, but how exactly do we create them? What barriers must be overcome, and what self-examination must we do? How do the legacies of colonialism, racism, and unhealed trauma impact missional collaborations today? In this doctoral thesis, Denyer reflects on these questions as she examines the history of relational dynamics between American and Congolese United Methodists in the North Katanga Conference (DR Congo). By surveying memoirs, magazines, and journals, and conducting in-depth interviews, Denyer presents a complex and multifaceted example of a partnership that is in the process of decolonizing. More than just a history lesson, Decolonizing Mission Partnerships presents the questions, hard truths, pitfalls, and toxic assumptions we must face when attempting to be in mission together.
