Qualcomm Equation : How A Fledgling Telecom Company Forged A New Path To Bi
$19.95Featuring a foreword by George Gilder If you’re a Qualcomm customer or stockholder, or in fact if you have a stake in almost any cellular service or even just use a mobile phone, you’re no doubt aware of the enormous impact on the development of cellular technology by actress and sex symbol Hedy LaMarr. All right, perhaps you’re surprised. The telecom industry has never been short on surprises, and the above example is no exception. Nor is it an exaggeration. Read the book. Similarly, it is not an exaggeration to say that Qualcomm, through a combination of technological superiority, cunning business acumen, and sheer tenacity, has become the undisputed standard by which telecom companies now measure themselves. In short order, they have also become a model of substantial and sustained growth that businesses in all industries should emulate. Qualcomm’s rise mirrors that of the cell phone itself. Both are ubiquitous, both continue to evolve rapidly, and both turned the status quo on its head. The Qualcomm Equation reveals crucial but little-known information on the history of cellular and wireless technology — some of which dates back to World War II — and shows how the company grabbed the wave just as it began to rise. How did they do it? Even while most competitors were using an essential technology, Qualcomm believed in an alternative they had developed, and continued to refine and promote it until at last it caught on. The Qualcomm Equation details how the fledgling company, while their rivals simply duked it out for more customers, made a killing not only by offering great service, but also by leasing their superior standard technology to other telecom companies. While Qualcomm grew its own customer base, they had also, in essence, found a way to make more money the bigger their competitors got. How can you apply the Qualcomm model in your industry, and in your company? Following Qualcomm’s example, your company can: * attract investors by presenting even complex products and technologies in customer- and market-focused language * prove that its product is essential not only to customers but also to competitors — so that they come to depend on you rather than trying to defeat you * make its product and its operations compatible with those competitors, turning rivalries into profitable strategic alliances * learn from setbacks, and leverage the knowledge and strengths of your partners to overcome obstacles You’ll also learn crucial strategies to help

Ordering Of Love
$21.00“In a brilliant marriage of myth and manner, histories sacred and profane, prayers of petition and of praise, these poems both articulate and illumine the trouble in the gap in which we live-the gap between human affections and Divine Love. L’Engle is unfailing in her willingness to see through-not around-human suffering, and in so doing announces no final severing of spirit and flesh but an enduring vision of resurrection in that crux, in the cross, in the One in Whom all things meet, continuing.”
-Scott Cairns, author of Slow Pilgrim and Philokalia: New and Selected Poems“I love L’Engle’s poetry for the way it incarnates not only the great Truths of the faith, but all the little truths of our ordinary existence-our working and playing and loving and fighting and dreaming and idling and all the rest of it-and for the way it shows us that those big and little truths should not, cannot, be separated.”
-Carolyn Arends, recording artist and author“Why is L’Engle one of the defining poets of our time? Because when life hurts, she does not shrink from the wounds. She clarifies the murk with hope as we feel the lift of grace.”
-Calvin Miller, Beeson Divinity School
Birmingham, Alabama“We are, all of us, the richer for this carefully crafted and prayerfully rendered collection.”
-Phyllis Tickle, Author, The Divine Hours“Poetry, at least the kind I write, is written out of immediate need; it is written out of pain, joy, and experience too great to be borne until it is ordered into words. And then it is written to be shared.”
-Madeleine L’EngleMadeleine L’Engle’s writing has always translated the invisible and intricate qualities of love into the patterns and rhythms of visible life. Now, with compelling language and open-hearted vulnerability, The Ordering of Love brings together the exhaustive collection of L’Engle’s poetry for the first time.
This volume collects nearly 200 of L’Engle’s original poems, including eighteen that have never before been published. Reflecting on themes of love, loss, faith, and beauty, The Ordering of Love gives vivid and compelling insight into the language of the heart.

Deeper Joy : Lay Women And Vocation In The 20th Century Episcopal Church
$47.93“An ambitious and much-needed effort to gather the key episodes and stories that highlight the important roles and vocations of lay women in both the 20th century church and the larger society. “Deeper Joy” not only chronicles the often unappreicated and undervalued past, but also points to the future of vital leadership and service.” – The Rt. Rev. Barbara C. Harris
Throughout the 20th century lay women in the Episcopal Church, often acting in isolation and without institutional support, offered a powerful witness of leadership, vocation, and theological resilience. Deeper Joy studies groups of women with similar callings yet located in diverse settings throughout church and society such as schools, hospitals, and other civic institutions. The topics presented here reflect new historical perspectives and unexplored primary materials, including interviews that bear on all women’s ministries, hence addressing neglected and important aspects of life in the American church.
After an introductory chapter on women and vocation, five major sections will explore lay women’s vocations through the lenses of community life, education, mission, civic life, and working for change from within the Episcopal Church. Topics include Anglican sisterhoods, the Companions of the Holy Cross, the deaconess movement, women of the New Deal, women in foreign missions, the settlement house movement, and women in education. The views of African-American, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American women are all represented. A concluding chapter addresses future directions for leadership and service.

Connecting : Healing Ourselves And Our Relationships

God has deposited within us the power to heal soul-disease and that power is released to do its work as we relate to each other in revolutionary new ways. In challenging, practical language, Dr. Crabb shows us how. This revised and updated edition now includes a full workbook for those who want to better learn how to connect with the hearts and souls of those around them.

Why Some Companies Emerge Stronger And Better From A Crisis
$24.95Like many companies over the last few years, yours has probably done a great deal to reassess its physical, strategic, and financial vulnerabilities. But there is a huge difference between business continuity planning and true crisis management. Do your company and employees have the necessary “IQ” not only to withstand a crisis but also to come through it with strength and confidence? Ian Mitroff, recognized around the world as an authority in crisis management, has created a plan that goes well beyond “disaster preparedness” to help your company get accustomed to working in the face of some unsettling facts: * In an age of terror, cyberattacks, large-scale corporate fraud and more, crisis is no longer a question of if, but of when. * Your company, no matter its size, industry, or location, is not immune from this reality. * Your contingency planning will only be as effective as the human beings charged with putting it into action. Mitroff outlines seven distinct competencies your organization needs to handle crises effectively: * Right Heart (emotional IQ): By accepting crisis as an inevitability, you can process much of the shock and grief beforehand, and avoid making the effects of the crisis even worse through an unconstructive response. * Right Thinking (creative IQ): “Crises don’t give a damn for the ways in which we have organized the world,” so out-of-the-box thinking is essential. * Right Social and Political IQ: Understand that your business is subject not only to the particular pitfalls of its industry, but also to the universal and complex challenges that threaten all companies. * Right Integration (integrative IQ): Realize that crises are perceived differently by different stakeholders, and are never simple “exercises” that can be “solved.” Identify and reconcile these perceptions now so that the path is clear when the crisis strikes. * Right Technical IQ: “Think like a controlled paranoid” to uncover ways in which malicious forces could cause a crisis in your company. Question every assumption about what is “normal,” “impossible,” or “absurd.” * Right Aesthetic IQ: Reconsider the classic design of the corporation, which is meant to address problems as they arise, and move toward one in which crisis management is an overarching discipline on a par with, for example, finance. * Spiritual IQ: Reject the notion that people’s physical, mental, and spiritual beings are completely separate; recognize that crises cause us to question the very meani

Father And The Son And The Holy Spirit
$19.98“The Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” OR “Oneness-Jesus Only”: This book strives to provide biblically based answers to very important questions. Do we serve a Triune God who is ONE GOD and is seen in the three distinct persons of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, as Jesus Himself taught in Matthew 28:19? Or do we adhere to the teachings of the “Oneness-Jesus Only” doctrines that contradict the directives of Jesus Himself as given by Him to His disciples? This book also focuses on other doctrines within the “Oneness-Jesus Only” teachings that are in direct contradiction to the Word of God. Is water baptism in the Name of Jesus Only required for salvation? Is speaking in tongues a requirement of salvation as taught by Oneness Believers, or is speaking in tongues one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit as we read in 1 Corinthians Chapter 12? Are we saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as the Scriptures teach “OR” are we saved through faith and works as set forth by some denominations? Who are we to follow-God or man?

Speaking My Mind (Reprinted)
$18.99Fifteen years ago, Tony Campolo’s 20 Hot Potatoes That Christians Are Afraid to Touch pushed, pulled, and prodded Christians into serious consideration of controversial but critical issues related to the Christian life. Campolo challenged his more than 150,000 readers to re-think their convictions (and prejudices) and to do something about them!
Dubbed by Christianity Today as “the positive prophet” and “a ferocious critic of Christians left and right,” Campolo lives up to his reputation in this latest book examining some of today’s toughest questions and issues:
Is evangelical Christianity anti-feminist?
Is our affluent lifestyle at odds with our faith?
Is America really in moral decline?
Is Islam really an evil religion?
Should Christian parents pull their kids out of public schools?
Was the war with Iraq a “just” war?

Table In The Presence
$19.99On April 10th, 2003, the 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, faced with the task of seizing the presidential palace in downtown Baghdad, ran headlong into what Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North called, “the worst day of fighting for U.S. Marines.” Hiding in buildings and mosques, wearing civilian clothes, and spread out for over a mile, Saddam Hussein’s militants rained down bullets and rocket propelled grenades on the 1st Battalion. But when the smoke of the eight-hour battle cleared, only one Marine had lost his life. Some said the 1st Battalion was incredibly lucky. But in the hearts and minds of the Marines who were there, there was no question. God had brought them miraculously through that battle.
As the 1st Battalion’s chaplain, Lieutenant Carey Cash had the unique privilege of seeing firsthand, from the beginning of the war to the end, how God miraculously delivered, and even transformed, the lives of the men of the 1st Battalion.

They argue that a fundamentally American form of mainline denominationalism can and will endure, despite the rumor of its decline.The authors examine six “rumors” of the decline. Using historical trends and current statistical information, they analyze the current situation and point to vital lessons, potential problems, and key challenges.

Faith Of The Outsider
$25.99This book offers a probing, insightful look at the “outsider” motif running through the Bible. The biblical story about God’s covenant with “insiders” – with Israel as the chosen people – is scandalous in today’s cultural climate of inclusivity. But, as Frank Anthony Spina shows, God’s exclusive election actually has an inclusive purpose.
Looking carefully at the biblical narrative, Spina highlights in bold relief seven remarkable stories that treat nonelect people positively and, even more, as strategically important participants in God’s plan of salvation. The stories of Esau, Tamar, Rahab, Naaman, Jonah, Ruth, and the woman at the well come alive in new ways as Spina discusses and examines them from an outsider-insider point of view.

IndexAdditional Info
We live in an age of vast and rapid destruction of habitats and species. Yet Christianity holds great potential for healing this situation. Indeed, the Bible and Christian tradition are a treasure trove of rich images and stories about God as an “earthen” being who sustains the natural world with compassion and thereby models for humankind environmentally healthy ways of being.Mark Wallace’s stimulating book retrieves a central but often neglected biblical theme – the idea of God as carnal Spirit who indwells all things – as the basis for constructing a “green spirituality” responsive to the environmental needs of our time.
In the biblical tradition, he writes, God as Spirit is an ecological presence that shows itself to us daily by living in and through the earth. One message of Christianity, therefore, is celebration of the bodily, material world – ancient redwoods, vernal springs, broad-winged hawks, everyday pigweed – as the place that God indwells and cares for in order to maintain the well-being of our common planetary home.
Alongside his green reading of the Bible and tradition, Wallace employs the resources of deep ecology, Neopagan spirituality, and the environmental justice movement to rethink Christianity as an earth-based, body-loving religion. He also analyzes color images reproduced in the book. Wallace’s bold yet careful work reawakens our sense of the sacrality of the earth and the life that the trinitarian God creates there. It also grounds the impulses of New Age spirituality in a profoundly biblical notion of God’s being and activity.

Gospel According To The Apostles
$19.99Ever since the days of the apostles Paul and James, Christians have struggled to define the proper tension between faith and works. Salvation, Paul stresses is “not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). But James argues, “Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works” (2:18).
In his characteristic compelling style Dr. MacArthur reconciles these two seemingly divergent threads of biblical truth, taking on the difficult questions head on:
What is cheap grace?
Have some Christians adopted a “no-lordship” theology?
What must a person do to be considered righteous by God?
Do our works have any affect on our salvation?Jesus asked his followers, “Why do you call me Lord and not do the things that I tell you to?” When John MacArthur dared in his earlier book to ask us this question, critics accused him of shelving grace. Others read the same book and heard in it the identical message preached since the founding of the Church.
“The Gospel According to the Apostles is the same gospel Jesus preached,” Dr. MacArthur says, “but it differs dramatically from the diluted message popular today. I pray you’ll find this book an encouragement as you seek to put your own faith to work.”

Divine Redemption And The Refuge Of Faith
$22.50Print on demand title
Time-honored Reformation theology is being discounted today as new perspectives challenge old verities. The need to return to biblical foundations is urgent. In Divine Redemption and the Refuge of Faith, Douglas Vickers addresses the pressing questions: Who is Jesus Christ? What is the human condition? And in what respect is that human condition addressed by the presence of Jesus Christ in the world? In lucid and arresting terms, answers are developed from the basic theses that structured Reformation thought:- the claim of Athanasius that it was the self-existing Second person of the Godhead who came as Jesus Christ;- the claim of Augustine that the human will was bound in sin as a result of Adam’s fall; and- the claim of Anselm that Christ’s atonement provided a necessary and complete satisfaction for sin.Divine Redemption and the Refuge of Faith provides a biblical-theological corrective to contemporary doctrinal deviations. If you are looking for a clear-headed, sure-footed, and warm-hearted guide on the most basic, cardinal issues of Christianity in every age, read this book repeatedly. It will enable you to think through a host of doctrines, issues, and positions in a world that is groping in the dark for truth.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Grace In A Tree Stump
$19.00Christians often assume too sharp a distinction between the Old and New Testaments, argues preacher, author, and teacher J. Ellsworth Kalas. They are too quick to view the Old Testament as a strict book of laws and commandments and the New Testament as a witness to grace. The God of the Old Testament is misperceived as a God of wrath and judgment, while the God of the New Testament is viewed as a God of love and mercy. This book will help laypeople see that grace has always been part of the character of God and that the Old Testament demonstrates that fact in a variety of ways. The character of God has not changed, says Kalas. In exploring various Old Testament texts, he helps us understand this more clearly.

Business Tale : A Story Of Ethics, Choices, Success And A Very Large Rabbit
$14.99Named one of the Best Business Books of 2003 by Library Journal! Wouldn’t it be nice if all executives had a magical rabbit-like the one in the movie Harvey — following them around reminding them to be ethical? In this charming fable, Aristotle (Ari, for short) is a pooka — a mythical, invisible creature with a penchant for advising against dishonesty. Our hero, Edgar P. Benchley, has been able to see and hear Ari since childhood, and as he journeys through his professional life, constantly faced with challenging questions of good conduct, Ari helps remind him that nice guys can succeed . . . even in the world of business. Much needed in these times when confidence in corporations has eroded, A Business Tale offers readers the inspiration to make ethical choices even when it isn’t easy or immediately rewarding. Following the story, the book also contains real-life examples and a 10-step action plan for ethical behavior in the workplace. A Business Tale is an easy-to-read, unforgettable “spoonful of sugar” to help companies and individuals digest the sometimes tart lessons of practical morality in the workplace.

Dark Night Of The Soul
$16.99Now in paperback: a distinguished psychiatrist, spiritual counsellor and bestselling author shows how the dark sides of the spiritual life are a vital ingredient in deep, authentic, healthy spirituality.
Gerald G. May, MD, one of the great spiritual teachers and writers of our time, argues that the dark ‘shadow’ side of the true spiritual life has been trivialised and neglected to our serious detriment. Superficial and naively upbeat spirituality does not heal and enrich the soul. Nor does the other tendency to relegate deep spiritual growth to only mystics and saints. Only the honest, sometimes difficult encounters with what Christian spirituality has called and described in helpful detail as ‘the dark night of the soul’ can lead to true spiritual wholeness.
May emphasises that the dark night is not necessarily a time of suffering and near despair, but a time of deep transition, a search for new orientation when things are clouded and full of mystery. The dark gives depth, dimension and fullness to the spiritual life.

How Children Raise Parents
$17.00Parenting with Humility…We often realize that we learn as much from our children as they learn from us. So why don’t parents approach the task of child-rearing as a learning experience, rather than a mandate to make sure their kids succeed in life?
To reduce the pressure and enjoy greater closeness in your family, turn your parenting upside-down by allowing God to use your children to help you grow up. Imagine what would happen if you began to prize what you’re being taught by your children’s quirks, failures, and normal childhood dilemmas, rather than worrying about whether you’re doing everything right as a parent. Now you can let go of the pressure to make sure your children succeed, and instead learn to grow into spiritual maturity by listening to your children. –This text refers to the Hardcover edition

Remembering Abraham : Culture Memory And History In The Hebrew Bible
$161.66Description
According to an old tradition preserved in the Palestinian Targums, the Hebrew Bible is “the Book of Memories.” The sacred past recalled in the Bible serves as a model and wellspring for the present. The remembered past, says Ronald Hendel, is the material with which biblical Israel constructed its identity as a people, a religion, and a culture. It is a mixture of history, collective memory, folklore, and literary brilliance, and is often colored by political and religious interests. In Israel’s formative years, these memories circulated orally in the context of family and tribe. Over time they came to be crystallized in various written texts. The Hebrew Bible is a vast compendium of writings, spanning a thousand-year period from roughly the twelfth to the second century BCE, and representing perhaps a small slice of the writings of that period. The texts are often overwritten by later texts, creating a complex pastiche of text, reinterpretation, and commentary. The religion and culture of ancient Israel are expressed by these texts, and in no small part also created by them, as they formulate new or altered conceptions of the sacred past. Remembering Abraham explores the interplay of culture, history, and memory in the Hebrew Bible. Hendel examines the Hebrew Bible’s portrayal of Israel and its history, and correlates the biblical past with our own sense of the past. He addresses the ways that culture, memory, and history interweave in the self-fashioning of Israel’s identity, and in the biblical portrayals of the patriarchs, the Exodus, and King Solomon. A concluding chapter explores the broad horizons of the biblical sense of the past. This accessibly written book represents the mature thought of one of our leading scholars of the Hebrew Bible.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Notes
IndexAdditional Info
In this masterful historical survey, theologian John Macquarrie demonstrates how Christians, especially the great mystics, have experienced at their own “radiant core” the love and presence of God.The word mysticism evokes ecstatic visions, asceticism, and esoteric teaching. Yet, the author maintains, mystics are better thought of as people who exhibit common human curiosity, long to explore religious mystery, and ultimately find a deep personal relationship with God.
Macquarrie discusses in detail the ten common traits of mysticism before tracing two millennia of Christian mysticism. He mainly allows the mystics to speak for themselves, but he is also particularly insightful about the greatest individuals of the tradition – from Paul to the patristic Platonists to the classic medieval mystics to a host of twentieth-century exemplars.

Presumed Guilty : How The Jews Were Blamed For The Death Of Jesus
$28.33A premier New Testament scholar explores how Jesus’ trial and execution are portrayed in the New Testament and how that portrayal has affected biblical studies, Christian theology, and Jewish-Christian relations through history. Tomson has written an accessible, responsible analysis of the biblical accounts of Jesus’ death, demonstrating how, through compounded misunderstandings, they contributed to anti-Jewish sentiment in the early church and later history. Tomson’s question of how Jesus is to be understood in his first-century Judean context is a critical one not only for biblical scholars, but for anyone concerned about human rights and interreligious dialogue today.

Living On The Ragged Edge

Future : What The Bible Teaches About The Future
$25.61Great attention is now being given to the subject of prophecy. Some studies on the subject are statements of opinion; however, it is important to give careful attention to what the Bible has to say about prophetical matters. An attempt was made in this material to survey what the Scriptures have to say. It is helpful for Christians to be informed concerning what the Bible has to say about all things, but the study of prophecy has been neglected in the church. To help fill this gap and to increase knowledge about the future of the earth, this work was produced.

Memories

Learn Or Burn
$16.86My name is William Shlonsky, a Jew who believed God (the Lord) could not exist. At the age of 56 years, I started my search for God. Finally, at the age of 58, I met a man who truly showed and proved to me that Jesus was who he claimed to be. This man, who was a gentile, asked if I was a Jew. I said yes! He told me to look at these scriptures: Isaiah 40:3, Malachi 3: 1, and John 1:23. They all struck me in my heart. At that point, the deep spirit of sleep slid off my eyes, fell from my ears, and changed my heart to flesh! At this point, I became a born again believer. As I learned, we all have free will to accept God or reject him. It was a sad day when I said to myself, “Woe to those who I knew but did not believe.” Some I cared for, but I have not seen them in a long while. Through the scriptures, the Lord revealed how we lock the doors to our homes from wicked men, but we don’t even think of the evil spirits who are constantly seeking access to us. Against their attacks, in our own strength, we have no method of defense. And if we don’t come to the knowledge of God (Jesus), these evil, demonic spirits can distract our minds, torment our bodies, destroy our possessions, and tear our lives apart. These unclean spirits long for our misery and destruction. If we don’t accept God’s gift for our lives, his grace will eventually turn to wrath and we will be given up to our own lusts of the flesh and to the control of these evil spirits. This is why and how the Lord led me to write this book, Learn or Burn for in God’s Eye “Brain Rape” Is No Excuse.

Speeding Beyond The Limit
$20.61What does the Bible really teach about how Christian believers are to behave on the earth? SPEEDING BEYOND THE LIMIT? by John L. Langston III John Langston III searches the Scriptures to find an answer to the question, “How should we behave before a holy God?” This study reveals many convicting and sobering glimpses of righteous behavior that brings glory to a righteous God. Included in the author’s expository look at righteous behavior are some rarely recognized, perhaps never thought about aspects of what really pleases God. Were it not for the Bible, we would have no idea what behavior is really acceptable or right in the sight of God. The knowledge of how to respond to God in a worshipful and pleasing way should be the desire of every believer. The question is, are we guilty of speeding beyond the boundaries of what God has chosen to please Him concerning the believer’s earthly behavior? God forbid that anyone who claims to be redeemed by salvation in Christ would not listen to God’s instructions in the Bible, which is meant to guide our daily conduct.

Pause Before The Pulpit Cycle B
$29.93Today’s busy pastors must cope with a diverse range of physically and emotionally draining tasks. Yet as they balance the many competing demands on their time, the essential element for maintaining a vital and successful ministry is carving out time for their own spiritual regeneration. Before pastors can effectively proclaim the Good News to the people in the pews, they must attend to their ongoing relationship with the God whom they serve.
Based on each Sunday’s epistle and gospel texts from Cycle B of the Revised Common Lectionary, this collection of prayerful reflections specifically addresses the spiritual needs of the clergy. Rather than a primer on how to preach the text, these devotions explore what the scripture passages have to say about the personal lives of pastors and their public ministry. It’s an ideal resource to begin weekly sermon preparation with, as each thoughtful contemplation prepares the heart for faithful preaching of God’s Word. But Pause Before The Pulpit isn’t just for pastors — these devotions will also strengthen and spiritually encourage anyone actively involved in lay ministry.

Confessions Of A Prayer Wimp
$10.99For a woman who confesses to being a shallow thinker and says she prefers to take life one sunrise at a time, Pierce offers some rich life wisdom as she discusses the disciplines of faith and practical prayer. Pierce (humor columnist for Focus on the Family’s LifeWise magazine and author of When Did I Stop Being Barbie and Become Mrs. Potato Head?) tenders comical asides to everyday hassles, irritations and frustrations while simultaneously nudging readers to give thanks for these annoying episodes as they frequently become the purveyors of peace, hope and joy. With a chuckle on every page, readers will discover fresh twists to old struggles on body image, money issues, child-rearing and marriage. Pierce brings humor to the forefront as she details her failures in the prayer department, calling herself a prayer worrier whose only recourse to total meltdown is to recognize her utter dependence upon God. Throughout this three-part comedy act, spiritual lessons can be gleaned from such nondescript objects as hula hoops, Pine-Sol and metal bras. Pierce’s zany take on pairing prayer with life has the potential to do what few Christian books ever manage: to appeal to Christians and those outside the faith in equal measure.
