Western culture is increasingly polarized, and Christians often feel they are “under siege” by the dominant secular culture. Compounding the problem is that Christians cannot agree among themselves how to respond to a culture that is increasingly “post-Christian.” The authors have observed five basic responses by Christians to this feeling of “exile”: (1) assimilation and acceptance of the new cultural norms, (2) withdrawal from cultural engagement, (3) anger directed toward society (and toward other Christians who don’t see the issues as they do), (4) fear, or (5) seeking power to “take back the culture.” Scripture calls us to a different way, speaking into the world with a new voice. Micah calls us to “seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly” with God, Jeremiah calls us to “seek the good of the city,” and Jesus calls us to be salt and light while knowing that in this world we “will have trouble.” In short, we are to engage the culture we live in as disciples of Jesus. But how practically is that done? In this book, the authors look carefully at the lives of twelve biblical characters who also lived in “challenging times” for guidance in navigating our post-Christian world. Rejecting assimilation, withdrawal, anger, fear, and power-seeking, we are challenged today with the ancient words of Mordecai to Esther: “Who knows whether for just a time as this you have come to this position in your life?”

In volume 1 of Working Blessedly Forever, Paul Stevens argues that doing marketplace theology requires head (thought), heart (prayer), and hand (action). Volume 2 takes up “the doing” part through the experience of multiple practitioners thus providing a practical marketplace theology. So under the headings of “Doing Theology from Above and Below,” “Dimensions of Marketplace Practice,” “Issues in the Marketplace,” and “Marketplace Practice and the Church,” these sixteen authors, ranging from a machinist to a lawyer, elaborate on what they have learned about the integration of faith and work from their actual work life. Edited by R. Paul Stevens, who writes the introduction, a short introduction to each session, three of the short chapters, and the epilogue, this book does not cover everything but gives a window into the actual life of a marketplace Christian in their work for God and neighbor. Along with volume 1 this puts “flesh on” the invigorating and empowering truth of biblical marketplace theology.

From a leading voice in the faith and work movement and author of Redeeming Your Time comes the revolutionary message that God sees our daily work—in whatever form it takes—with far more value than we ever imagined. “The Sacredness of Secular Work does an extraordinary job of being both personally relevant and, more importantly, biblically faithful.”—Randy Alcorn, New York Times bestselling author of Heaven Does your work matter for eternity? Sadly, most believers don’t think so. Sure, the 1 percent of the time they spend sharing the gospel with their co-workers matters. But most Christians view the other 99 percent of their time as meaning very little in the grand scheme of things. But that’s not how God sees it. Jordan Raynor, a leading voice in the faith and work movement and bestselling author, offers a revolutionary message about how our daily jobs—from baristas and entrepreneurs to stay-at-home parent and coaches—have intrinsic and eternal value. In The Sacredness of Secular Work, he reveals unexpected ways our work truly matters. In these pages you’ll discover • How a low regard of our work limits our understanding of God and His Kingdom • Inspiring ways your work can reveal God’s kingdom on earth here and now • Surprising strategies for ensuring your vocation has an eternal legacy • Vital insights on what God’s view of work tells us about heaven Combining research, Scripture, and storytelling, Jordan Raynor proves that work, in its diverse forms, is one of the primary activities that brings God delight. This biblical perspective will set you free to pursue your passions and skills and—perhaps for the first time—experience the Creator’s delight in the work of your hands.

'The world has entered the urban millennium. Nearly half the world's people are now city dwellers, and the rapid increase in urban population is expected to continue, mainly in developing countries. This historic transition is being further propelled by the powerful forces of globalization. The central challenge for the international community is clear: to make both urbanization and globalization work for all people, instead of leaving billions behind or on the margins. Cities in a Globalizing World: Global Report on Human Settlements is a comprehensive review of conditions in the world's cities and the prospects for making them better, safer places to live in an age of globalization. I hope that it will provide all stakeholders - foremost among them the urban poor themselves - with reliable and timely information with which to set our policies right and get the machinery of urban life moving in a constructive direction.' From the Foreword by Kofi Annan, Secretary-General, United Nations. Cities in a Globalizing World presents a comprehensive review of the world's cities and analyses the positive and negative impacts on human settlements of the global trends towards social and economic integration and the rapid changes in information and communication technologies. In this Global Report, the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (Habitat) draws on specially commissioned and contributed background papers from more than 80 leading international specialists. The report focuses on recent trends in human settlements and their implications for poverty, inequity and social polarization. It develops advance knowledge for urban planning and management policies in support and promotion of inclusive cities and good urban governance. This major and influential report is the most authoritative and up-to-date assessment of human settlements conditions and trends. Written in clear, non-technical language and supported by informative graphics, case studies and extensive statistical data, it should be an essential tool and reference for academics, researchers, planners, public authorities and civil society organizations around the world.

Taken together, the recommendations in this book underpin an ethos, a character of leadership that will invite others to follow and to emulate, while the leader herself grows and blooms.

A true story, this narrative covers a period of eight years, between 1985-1993. It is the story of a group that gathered in the heartland of the U.S. as they listened week after week to channeled Teachings coming from The Realms of Light. It is told by one of the group members who was present throughout the eight years of the group’s existence and the one who is responsible for the three previously published volumes that contain the channeled Teachings of The Aquarius Materials. (Xlibris) The photo on the cover of this book (volume four) was taken on Friday, October 17, 1986 and shows a large shaft of LIGHT coming into the room and shining down onto the channel’s body. The group was told from the beginning that the Earth was moving from the third dimension into the fourth and fifth dimensions and that there was a huge influx of LIGHT coming into Earth during this 200,000 Year World Age Change. Much more than a 2,000 or a 26,000 year change, this represents the Earth and humanity beginning it ́s in-volution back into the LIGHT. Although the LIGHT seen in the photos was not apparent to the naked eye, many of the participants said they could “feel” the higher vibrations often when they came to listen to The Aquarius Teachers. These LIGHT Energies propelled many in the group to begin to change their lives and an amazing sense of spiritual community was experienced. The content of this book is the “backdrop” behind the three books of Series I, The Aquarius Materials. It is the final book of this Series and perhaps the best overview for one beginning to read these Teaching. This body of Spiritual Teachings heralds a time of a New Dispensation upon the Earth, where the Spiritual Nature of Existence is to become known once more by people all over the world. The Teachers said that this is the time prophesied in the Christian Scriptures as the “Second Coming” and it is NOT to be an end-of-the-world-time but rather a time when humanity will awaken to the truth of Christ’s Teachings about LOVE. Humanity was never meant to disconnect from the spiritual dimension and forget the kinship that is ours as children of God. As Jesus attained that level of God Union called the Christ-Consciousness during his lifetime, we are meant to once again reach for Christ-Consciousness as we, ourselves, go inward to “Seek the Kingdom.” This Soul growth can transform both our individual lives and the Way we Live on Earth. The book is divided into two major sections – Part I - “The channeling years” (1985-1987) and Part II – “A Time and a House Called Aquarius” (1988-1993). (Photos of group activities are included with each chapter.) The Auarius Materials: Series I - This is the Overview book; three other books make up the Series.
