Envisioning cruciform community built on resurrection hope After Paul’s encounter with the risen Christ on the road to Damascus, he turned from coercion and violence to a ministry centered on the hope of Christ’s resurrection. In earthly terms, Paul had traded power for weakness. But—as he explained in his subsequent letters—this “weakness” was actually the key to flourishing community that is able to experience God’s transformation, restoration, and healing. What would it mean for pastors today to take seriously Paul’s exhortation in 1 Corinthians 11:1 to “imitate me as I imitate Christ” and lead their congregations in this way? Instead of drawing leadership principles and practices from the worlds of business, education, and politics—which tend to orient churches around institutional power and image maintenance—Timothy Gombis follows Paul in resisting the influence of the “present evil age” by making cruciformity the operating principle of the church. Gombis guides the reader through practices and patterns that can lead a congregation past a focus on individual salvation, toward becoming instead a site of resurrection power on earth.

This book explores the course and causes of the worldwide diffusion of democracy through an assessment of the political and economic development of individual countries from the year 1800 to 2005. Using this extended range of data and examining multiple variables, Barbara Wejnert creates a conceptual model for the diffusion of democracy and to measure national democratization. The author characterizes each nation's political system, its networking with other countries, level of development, and media advancement, in order to pinpoint what leads to national and regional progress to, or regress from, democratization. Her innovative findings challenge established thinking and reveal that the growth of literacy does not lead to democratization but is instead an outcome of democracy. She also finds that networks between non-democratic and democratic states are more important to a nation's democratization than financial aid given to non-democratic regimes or the level of national development.
After working with some of the greatest leaders across the globe, authors Merwyn A. Hayes and Michael D. Comer began to notice patterns among effective leaders-and the habits of ineffective ones. Time and time again, those who failed to inspire their followers led with arrogance, poor listening skills, and a lack of respect. This prompted the authors to search for and unearth the true keys to leadership success: humility, honesty, and authenticity. You too can become a humble-but successful-leader. Start with Humility: Lessons from America's Quiet CEOs on How to Build Trust and Inspire Followers reveals the common traits among some of the top leaders in the world who lead through humility. For example, you'll learn how Craig Weatherup, former CEO of Pepsi-Cola and board member at Starbucks and Macy's, applied the concepts of accountability and simplicity to turn around Pepsi's international business. With the sixty techniques for more effective leadership found in this book, you'll begin to "train your brain" using the model developed by the authors through their extensive research. Learn what humility is and how you can use it to effect transformational change.
More than 140 years ago, lupus erythematosus (LE) was recognized as a disease entity by clinicians working in the field of dermatology, which had only recently become an independent medical discipline. Soon after cutaneous lupus was first reported, it was realized that, apart from the skin, the disease could involve other organs and thus be systemic in nature. The latter observations were first made by MORITZ KApOSI [1], whose work has attracted renewed attention re cently and who succeeded FERDINAND VON HEBRA to the chair of dermatology at the Medical Faculty in Vienna. The early description of lupus erythematosus in both its cutaneous and systemic manifes tations was thus intimately associ...
