The Lightning-Fast Field Guide to the Bible

CURRENT - A Practice of Living in Motion explores what it means to live and lead when change is not an exception, but the condition we are already inside.
Drawing on philosophy, psychology, complexity thinking, leadership experience, and lived experience, Kenneth Saxskiold-Nørup examines how people make sense of uncertainty, how relationships and organisations shape us, and how our own actions continue downstream in ways we do not always see.
At the centre of the book is a simple idea: we are not standing outside the current, trying to control it. We are already part of it.
Through the disciplines of Stay · Sense · Shape, CURRENT offers a practical orientation for leaders, professionals, and reflective readers who want to act with greater presence, judgement, and responsibility without pretending that certainty is possible.
This is not a step-by-step management manual or a collection of quick fixes. It is a book about attention, participation, courage, ethics, and the quality of the choices we make while everything is moving.
For readers interested in leadership, philosophy, personal development, organisational life, and decision-making under uncertainty.

Was machen Kirchen mit Menschen und Menschen in Kirchen? In welche Verbindung treten sie mit den in diesen Räumen verteilten Dingen? Und was erfahren wir daraus über Religion in der Gegenwart? Ausgehend von Feldbesuchen in Hamburger Kirchenräumen erschließen die Beiträge aus Religionswissenschaft, Religionspädagogik und Praktischer Theologie das Wechselverhältnis von Dingen, Räumen und Menschen. Sie dokumentieren ethnographisch und fotodokumentarisch erschlossene Praktiken und Konstellationen, erkunden die Beobachtungen praxeologisch sowie im Sinne eines neuen Materialismus und ziehen Schlussfolgerungen für den Religionsdiskurs und Fachdebatten.

“Love Me to Death&nbsp;is funny, swoony, packed with adventure, and set against an incredible Latin American-inspired fantasy world that pops off the pages. There’s so much to love about this romantic and magical series!"&nbsp;—Sable Sorensen,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;Dire Bound Toonimated’s wildy popular Webtoon is now in print with a never-before-seen short story! For fans of&nbsp;Anatomy: A Love Story&nbsp;and&nbsp;Lore Olympus&nbsp;comes a graphic novel romantasy about the love triangle between a necromancer, a resurrected bride, and her very-much-alive groom. In the city of San Guadario, necromancy has been banned for one hundred years. Every aspect of life, from buying food to getting married, requires a signature written in one's own blood. If a necromancer were to sign, their identity would be revealed by the magic that courses through their veins. As a necromancer, Victor and his cute one-eyed cat must live a discreet life, constantly on the run. Everything changes when the wealthiest patron in San Guadario hires Victor to resurrect his recently deceased, and impossibly beautiful, bride. The catch? Victor must perform an ancient ritual which eternally binds himself to this bride. After he brings her back to life, Victor finds himself magically entangled with the bride and groom and caught in the middle of more romance than he knows what to do with. Adapted from the wildly popular webtoon series, Love Me to Death is a gorgeously illustrated saga that is bound to stop your heart.

Emotional Intelligence Essentials

In collaboration with JVL Media—a captivating exploration of why many high-performing Black business leaders attribute their transformational leadership qualities to their experiences growing up in the Black Church and how we can foster these skills in younger generations despite waning church attendance.The Black church in the U.S. has long been a “one-stop shop” for developing Black leaders, teaching them many of the qualities required to lead effectively in today’s ultra-competitive, digital, and swiftly transforming corporate world. Many high-performing Black leaders benefited from their experiences growing up in this cultural institution steeped in rich history.Merging cultural study with applied neuroscience and tenets of positive psychology, L. Michelle Smith dissect how these qualities are demonstrated by leaders across industries, from resiliency to their sense of undeniable purpose, their ability to build community and collaborative environments, the delivery and language of their speaking style to their unique leadership flair. She reveals how this historic institution has served as a timeless wellspring of leadership development, empowerment, and cultural preservation and ultimately, is Black leaders’ “secret sauce.”Call and Response also explores whether the Black Church will be able to continue to ingrain these skills in future generations. Smith examines how cultural shifts have resulted in a decline in church attendance, how online attendance has risen since the Covid pandemic, and finally, how Black leaders may—or may not—be passing these traditions down to their children.

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.

Two Paths to Prosperity

Most people think a great life is built on big moments. It isn't. A great life is built on small decisions made consistently over time. A missed priority here. A neglected relationship there. Too much pressure. Too little margin. Over time, those small choices quietly shape the direction of a life. But there is another way to live. After decades of leadership, raising a family, and helping people navigate life's biggest decisions, Chris Hodges discovered something that changes everything: The quality of your life is determined by the principles that guide it. Principles simplify decisions. Principles steady you in difficult seasons. Principles help you build a life that lasts. &nbsp;In Legacy Letters, a practical and deeply personal book, Hodges shares the timeless principles that have shaped his life, leadership, relationships, and legacy. These aren't theories or motivational slogans. They are lessons learned through real life-through mentors, mistakes, family, and decades of walking alongside people through the highs and lows of life. This book is designed to be read one principle a day for 30 days, giving you a clear framework for building a better life. Then you'll spend the rest of the year putting those principles into practice-because principles are not meant to be memorized, they are meant to be lived. Inside, you'll discover powerful principles such as:The Big Rocks Principle - start life right by putting first things firstThe Calendar Principle - take control of your schedule before something else doesThe Compounding Principle - small daily disciplines create extraordinary results over timeThe Margin Principle - create breathing room so pressure doesn't control your lifeThe Who Principle - the people around you shape the future ahead of youThe Green-Grass Principle - the best relationships are the ones you invest inThe Goldmine Principle - learn to see the potential in peopleThe Orchestra Principle - life works better when it's built around "we" instead ofThe Significance Principle - the greatest life is the one that helps others win&nbsp;Filled with memorable phrases, practical wisdom, and honest stories from a life of leadership, Legacy Letters will help you:Make wiser decisionsBuild stronger relationshipsCreate margin and clarity in a crowded worldFocus your time on what matters mostLeave a legacy that lasts&nbsp;Because methods change. Trends change. Circumstances change. But principles never do. Live by the right principles, and you won't just succeed. You'll build a life that truly works.

The world is chaotic. But that doesn't mean your life has to be. Join Chris Hodges, bestselling author and beloved founding pastor of Church of the Highlands, on a dynamic journey into practical wisdom that has the power to transform your life
