Hollowing Out the Middle
Two sociologists reveal how small towns in Middle America are exporting their most precious resource—young people—and share what can be done to save these dwindling communities In 2001, with funding from the MacArthur Foundation, sociologists Patrick J. Carr and Maria J. Kefalas moved to Iowa to understand the rural brain drain and the exodus of young people from America’s countryside. They met and followed working-class “stayers”; ambitious and college-bound “achievers”; “seekers,” who head off to war to see what the world beyond offers; and “returners,” who eventually circle back to their hometowns. What surprised them most was that adults in the community were playin...
The End of the Magi
Following his vision of the coming Messiah, the prophet Daniel creates a select group of men who will count down the calendar to the arrival of Israel's promised king. Centuries later, as the day nears, Myrad, a young magi acolyte, flees for his life when his adoptive father and others are put to death by a ruthless Parthian queen. Having grabbed only a few possessions, Myrad escapes the city, and searching for a way to hide from the soldiers scouring the trade routes, he tries to join the caravan of the merchant Walagash. The merchant senses that Myrad is hiding secrets, but when the young man proves himself a valuable traveler, an epic journey filled with peril, close escapes, and dangerous battles begins. With every day that passes, the calendar creeps closer to the coming Messiah.

All Dreams Matter
Everyone has a dream for a better life. For millions, that dream is no more complex than surviving until tomorrow-dodging bullets and bombs while foraging for food and shelter. Those of us who live in less volatile environments can pursue larger dreams, but many choose not to do so. Instead, we spend our days focused on the negative. And when we only see the negative, that's all we know and experience. Pat Carr, author of All Dreams Matter, offers a better way. Combining scripture and science, the motivational speaker reveals a simple but powerful truth: we create our own destiny. Those who choose to change their minds-to actively focus on their dreams-inevitably change their lives. Free yourself from the delusion that only the smartest, the most talented, and the luckiest among us attain success. Instead, embrace the truth: the choices we make create our destinies. We've been blessed with the God-given capacity to dream the life we want, to refine our thoughts and renew our minds, and therefore change our fates. Carr offers access to this powerful gift. Use it-and change your world.
