If only I had a little more faith. / Have you ever thought that before? Most of us have thought it, or even heard it from others, at some point in our lives. But what exactly is faith anyway? And how do we get more of it? And if we did get more of it, could we actually move mountains into the sea? / In The Faith Zone, Steve Long tackles the subject of faith with his trademark practicality, simplicity and wit. Steve argues that faith is very simply acting on thoughts from God. To have faith then, we need to actually listen when God is speaking to us, and we need to do something about what we hear. When we do, we can expect the rewards of a life filled with faith, and we will see God perform impossible miracles all around us. Join the journey of faith as Steve Long boldly leads the way for the rest of us to follow.

It began as a calculated, but desperate, attempt to survive in a cruel world and time. The Second Attempt is a last-gasp effort to avoid execution. Rob Winslow and two robots arrive from the future, back to the year 1844. Their time-lab is additionally staffed with a super-intelligence unit called U-326. Rob is in this era to avoid a death sentence from the Cruel Committee. If he performs as a Transmitter of live action, and is accepted by the people of the earth-year 3753, his sentence will be withdrawn. In a twist of fate, the people grow to love Winslow as he succeeds in his mission. In gaining popularity with the people, though, he becomes a threat to the powerful Committee. Can Rob evade the Regulators, whom he correctly expects the Committee to send? Can he elude the terminator that is sent with the sole purpose of ending Winslow's life? Once again, Bob G. Stidham weaves a story that draws you in. It is a splendid mix of science fiction and old-time western. You can almost smell the dust, taste the coffee and hear the creak of the leather saddle.
What has theology to do with economics? They are both sciences of human action, but have traditionally been treated as very separate disciplines. Divine Economy is the first book to address the need for an active dialogue between the two. D. Stephen Long traces three strategies which have been used to bring theology to bear on economic questions: the dominant twentieth-century tradition, of Weber's fact-value distinction; an emergent tradition based on Marxist social analysis; and a residual tradition that draws on an ancient understanding of a functional economy. He concludes that the latter approach shows the greatest promise because it refuses to subordinate theological knowledge to autonomous social-scientific research. Divine Economy will be welcomed by those with an interest in how theology can inform economic debate.
