Описание: A leading religious freedom attorney, the veteran of several Supreme Court battles, helps people of faith understand religious liberty in our rapidly changing culture--why it matters, how it is threatened, and how to respond with confidence and grace. WINNER OF THE CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD(R) - THE GOSPEL COALITION'S BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR, PUBLIC THEOLOGY & CURRENT EVENTS - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY WORLD MAGAZINE Many Americans feel like their religious freedom is under attack. They see the culture changing around them, and they fear that their beliefs will soon be punished as a form of bigotry. Others think these fears are overblown and say Christians should stop complaining about imaginary persecution. In Free to Believe leading religious freedom attorney Luke Goodrich challenges both sides of this debate, offering a fresh perspective on the most controversial religious freedom conflicts today. With penetrating insights on gay rights, abortion rights, Islam, and the public square, Goodrich argues that threats to religious freedom are real--but they might not be quite what you think. As a lawyer at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, Goodrich has won several historic Supreme Court victories for clients such as the Little Sisters of the Poor and Hobby Lobby. Combining frontline experience with faithful attention to Scripture, Goodrich shows why religious freedom matters, how it is threatened, and how to protect it. The result is a groundbreaking book full of clear insight, practical wisdom, and refreshing hope for all people of faith.

Описание: The military commander known as 'the last of the Romans' Flavius Belisarius is a name well known to those interested in the conflicts of the later Roman Empire at the time of Justinian I. The Roman Empire of the west had fallen and the emperor of Byzantine Empire in the east, centred on Constantinople, dreamed of recovering by conquest the Mediterranean territories that had been lost. The ambition was a colossal one, but Belisarius was undoubtedly the military commander for the task. Having won his first laurels against the Persians, he went on to fight the Vandals and Ostrogoths, and eventually captured Rome itself. At the time of his death in 565 AD the empire he served had expanded its territory by almost half. This unique Leonaur book contains two interesting accounts of the life, campaigns and battles of this great general. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Описание: "We Americans have the dangerous tendency in our international thinking to take a holier-than-thou attitude toward other nations. We consider ourselves to be more noble and decent than other peoples, and consequently in a better position to decide what is right and wrong in the world. What kind of war do civilians suppose we fought, anyway? We shot prisoners in cold blood, wiped out hospitals, strafed lifeboats, killed or mistreated enemy civilians, finished off the enemy wounded, tossed the dying into a hole with the dead, and in the Pacific boiled the flesh off enemy skulls to make table ornaments for sweethearts, or carved their bones into letter openers.... W]e mutilated the bodies of enemy dead, cutting off their ears and kicking out their gold teeth for souvenirs, and buried them with their testicles in their mouths.... We topped off our saturation bombing and burning of enemy civilians by dropping atomic bombs on two nearly defenseless cities, thereby setting an all-time record for instantaneous mass slaughter. As victors we are privileged to try our defeated opponents for their crimes against humanity; but we should be realistic enough to appreciate that if we were on trial for breaking international laws, we should be found guilty on a dozen counts. We fought a dishonorable war, because morality had a low priority in battle. The tougher the fighting, the less room for decency, and in Pacific contests we saw mankind reach the blackest depths of bestiality." ---- Edgar Jones, WWII Veteran

Автор: Goodrich Steve Название: Transforming Government: From Congress to the Cubicle ISBN: 1537698117 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781537698113 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 28730.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: *NOTE: ALL proceeds from book sales go directly to the national charity organization, Homes for Our Troops. This book is not a book about national policy or legislative initiatives, it's about the management practices and behaviors that need to take place to transform government and strengthen its capacity to serve. These behaviors must begin at the top (Congress and the President) and then cascade to the offices occupied by leaders, managers, and staff members throughout government. The US federal government is a government for the people. It has earnest intentions and is based on bedrock principles surrounding individual rights and freedoms. It has one of the best governance designs in the world to protect these rights. It is not corrupt, but it does lack significant accountabilities. It is inefficient, at times ineffective-and it needs to regain credibility. Fortunately, it is also fixable if its leadership chooses to act. This book acknowledges government's successes but is also critical of its performance and waste. It doesn't waste valuable pages just being critical; it makes recommendations that will make a difference. Recommendations that will cause its leaders to stop kicking the can down the road and get meaningful things done for our country, like addressing the deficit, terrorism, tax reform, immigration reform, social insurance reform, prison reform, and more. With a dramatic budget deficit, a government in need of program reform, total political dysfunction, and a drained workforce, a recipe for implosion is created. Americans deserve honesty and direction from their government leaders, leaders who must possess the courage to act with deliberation in the best interest of the American people. But what do leaders do to become better at what they are supposed to do? How do they make decisions in the best interest of our country, put in extra effort to perform for customers, focus on America rather than self, change the complexity of how things get done, be accountable rather than diminish their role, stop kicking the can down the road, and take on the BIG challenges of our country in a more meaningful and collaborative way. There is an important need to focus on the management practices and behaviors that will make our government more effective. That is the subject of this book. For the most part, these actions do not require any special policy or legislative change, just leaders, managers, and employees having the right intent, guidance, skill, energy, and commitment. To address government transformation, this book begins by discussing the critical attributes people must possess to bring about transformation in government. It identifies necessary adaptations of leadership and what they must do. With that foundation established, this book considers the power of efficiency and effectiveness, including both definitions and methods for achieving them. In the second half of this book it addresses specific reforms necessary to support government transformation, including civil service, procurement, and technology management reform. Lastly, it makes some suggestions to the incoming Administration on Agenda items they should consider. This book is written for Members of Congress, the President, agency leaders (both political and career), employees, and any others who believe their organization could benefit. The American public may read it to learn how government functions and to adopt supportive behaviors. It describes the challenges faced and recommends specific actions that can be taken to dramatically improve the government. I invite all to read, comment, add ideas, provide feedback, and, yes, try and implement some of the practices and behaviors that will contribute greatly to those things needed to make government efficient, effective, and credible. It's time.
