In 2006, few Americans were expecting the economy to collapse. Today the American church is in a similar position, on the precipice of a great spiritual recession. While we focus on a few large churches and dynamic leaders that are successful, the church's overall membership is shrinking. Young Christians are fleeing. Our donations are drying up. Political fervor is dividing us. Even as these crises eat at the church internally, our once friendly host culture is quickly turning hostile and antagonistic. How can we avoid a devastating collapse? In The Great Evangelical Recession, award-winning journalist and pastor John Dickerson identifies six factors that are radically eroding the American church and offers biblical solutions to prepare evangelicals for spiritual success, even in the face of alarming trends. This book is a heartfelt plea and call to the American church combining quality research, genuine hope, and practical application with the purpose of igniting the church toward a better future.
DJ Bobo, drugs, and Rock’n’Roll; three things that are one in the same. That can’t actually be right. But it is indeed ... “We call upon you, Galaktika, from the distant star of Andromeda.” Kalle Bass has a problem: he will not live for much longer and only has his stories, which he lived through with his friend Don Jon, to pass on. “Galaktika” is the collective works of Kalle Bass and don Jon. Kalle listens to heavy metal, drinks too much and doesn’t like people. Don, on the other hand, is a hippie, idealist, and womanizer. Together, they both drink their way through their youth. Nothing too special happens: the Castor transport goes to Gorleben, gyros in the cafeteria, a chairoplane at the Old City Festival, a stolen Christmas tree, French fries in the swimming pool, free beer at the disco, DJ Bobo has a top ten hit and lots of talking in-between. “Galaktika” is a crazy mixtape of the 90’s. The soundtrack of a friendship and a generation. Pop literature for whiskey drinkers.
The Rhetoric of the Pulpit treats the sermon as the single most important factor in evangelism for a parish, and also the most important factor in the spiritual growth of both the congregation and the pastor. With emphasis on the Word as the foundation, the author adds music and liturgy to the sermon’s structure to build a unified worship experience. Recognizing that the Word is truth, but that the truth needs to be made to seem true, the book offers sound, practical advice on sermon preparation based on both classical and contemporary communication theory. Sermon preparation is viewed as a process that begins with downloading the Word, followed by productive meditation. The process then moves through the rhetorical steps, from a search for content to the sermon’s delivery. Throughout the book, the rhetorical principles are treated as a subordinate element to the Word, a means of giving effectiveness to the truth. The Rhetoric of the Pulpit aims to reflect the spirit of Aristotle, St. Augustine, St. Paul, and Kenneth Burke.

In the genomic era of 1990s-2000s, pharmaceutical research moved to target-based drug discovery which enabled development of a number of small molecule drugs against a wide range of diseases. In many cases however, drugs that arose from genomics failed, questioning the validity of the targets and the suitability of target-based drug discovery as an optimal strategy for all disease states. For monogenic diseases, target-based approaches may be well-suited to the identification of novel therapies. Most diseases, however, are caused by a combination of several genetic and environmental factors and are likely to require simultaneous modulation of multiple molecular targets/pathways for successfu...
