Looks Great Naked
Grace Adams thinks her life is perfect until her mother gives her an unexpected "gift": a book of diet and exercise tips called Look Great Naked, and says, "I think your husband is having an affair." The unspoken message is this: your husband is straying, and you need to fix yourself. Instead, Grace learns to peel away the scales of image and strip down to her authentic self, no longer addicted to perfection and the notion that she must hide her weaknesses from everyone. She finds herself on a journey of despair and hope -- sometimes side-splitting, sometimes heartrending -- that will empower people to take off their own masks.
I Am Loved at Community Bible Church
Located in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, Community Bible Church grew out of a youth ministry that started fifty years ago on a donated piece of property containing only a cracked swimming pool and a rickety old pool house. The history of CBC and its ministries has been summarized as a cast of unlikely characters being used by God to accomplish great things. That cast of characters includes crooked politicians, a state senator, a crotchety judge, a used-car salesman, a wealthy bar owner, and a nuclear physicist. Learn the reason for its success and how they translate to personal growth and well-being.

The "Vanity of the Philosopher"
The "Vanity of the Philosopher" continues the themes introduced in Levy's acclaimed book How the Dismal Science Got Its Name. Here, Peart and Levy tackle the issues of racism, eugenics, hierarchy, and egalitarianism in classical economics and take a broad view of classical economics' doctrine of human equality. Responding to perennial accusations from the left and the right that the market economy has created either inequality or too much equality, the authors trace the role of the eugenics movement in pulling economics away from the classical economist's respect for the individual toward a more racist view at the turn of the century. The "Vanity of the Philosopher" reveals the consequences ...
Adam Smith’s Theory of Value and Distribution
Ever since the time of his early interpreters, beginning with David Hume, Adam Smith’s theory of value has been the subject of confusion and misunderstanding – including a controversy which still rages over whether Smith held a labour theory of value, and, if so, whether he held to it throughout Wealth of Nations, or if it was confined to the “Early and Rude State”? This book provides a close reading of Smith’s key text, and also incorporates material from the other parts of Smith’s oeuvre, especially from The Theory of Moral Sentiments, to yield original and important insights into Smith’s theory of value. The book operates on the assumption that Smith is proposing relatively ...
The Afterlife of Adam Smith
Mark Twain once quipped that a "classic [is] something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read." This definition fits Adam Smith's timeless work The Wealth of Nations, published in 1776 on the eve of the American Revolution. For more than two centuries, partisans and pundits across the political spectrum have selectively quoted (or purported to quote) Smith's masterpiece of economic theory in support of legislative agendas and public policy. Smith himself would have been surprised at the near universal acceptance of his theories, especially given changes in the world economy since the 18th century. This book provides a close reading of his work, revealing a complex intellect schooled in the high moral ideals of classical philosophy, yet firmly grounded in the pragmatism of international trade and commerce.
