During the darkest, most difficult, and most painful days of my life-injured at work, loss of job, inability to do the usual work, crisis at home with an injured and aging mother to support, feeling weak and helpless-God reminded me of King David encouraging himself in the Lord. As I looked back over my life, I saw I had a lot to be thankful for, because God is always faithful, He is and will always be the great I Am, and a help in our troubles. He will remain the stability of our times and life, and with that blessed assurance, we can truly face tomorrow without fear but with trust, walk on in obedience, and prepare the way for His return.

During the 1990s the politicians and media pundits argued that we experienced the most dramatic financial upturn in the history of the United States. Yet, today in the year 2001 forty-five million people lack health insurance; thirty-five million experience hunger, millions are functionally illiterate, and anyone living in Philadelphia who earns the minimum wage, needs to work eighty-four hours per week to avoid homelessness. When we look at the facts, the so-called financial upturn of the 1990s was a myth for eighty percent of the population. Today, when we adjust for inflation, the least affluent eighty percent of the population earns no more than they did in the early 1970s, yet they routinely work more hours. As harsh as all these conditions are, an all out collapse of the economy is possible in our lifetimes. While these conditions exist an enormous amount of waste is generated in the world. Whether we purchase a tooth pick or a town house, we pay for services which add nothing to those commodities. When we need medical care we would never go to an insurance agent, yet insurance companies profit off of our need for health care. When we purchase a house we dont rely on bankers to build the house, yet banks collect enormous sums in interest payments for the purchase of homes. When we turn on the television we see advertising which adds nothing to the quality of the programming, yet we pay more for commodities because of advertising. These few examples show how there are enormous resources which could be used to make dramatic improvements in the standard of living throughout the world. Looking Back From 2101 is a novel which imagines what the world might look like if human needs were the top priority, and the primary motivating force of society was human solidarity. This book has a similar theme as Looking Backwards by Edward Bellemy which was written in 1887 and sold millions of copies throughout the world. Harry Goldberg is a factory worker in the year 2001. One night he goes to sleep and doesnt awaken until the year 2101. In this world of the future Harry discovers that poverty has been eliminated, yet people are only asked to work for twenty hours per week. The government strives to eliminate alienation from the workplace, and to organize industrial production in a way that is harmonious with the environment. Everyone who is born into this world has many rights which they can use throughout their lifetimes. These include the right to food, clothing, housing, health care, education, communication, transportation, and exposure to the arts or recreational activities. Everyone is also encouraged to offer their opinions concerning any and all topics. From the perspective of this future world Harry proceeds to have a series of conversations with African Americans, women, a Puerto Rican, a Native American, a farmer, a garment worker, a doctor, and a student where they explore how and why the world was transformed. Harry begins to realize that all the advances which he is witnessing in this new world were indeed possible in the twentieth century. These changes didnt occur because of scientific achievements or brilliant political leaders. The transformation of society came about because of the determination of the masses of people to construct a world where human needs are more important than profits, and human solidarity is the best way of motivating working people. Looking Back From 2101 is an attempt to contrast the world as it exists from the world as it might be. While politicians and media pundits tell us what we cant achieve, this book makes an attempt to look at what is possible.

This book places IT in perspective by tracing its development through time, covering its origins in business, the massive expansion of the role of IT at the end of the 20th century, the growth of the internet, and the successes and failures of companies involved in this development. Despite its ubiquity in the modern world, the author highlights that efficient use of IT by businesses can only be gained by a good understanding of its potentials and pitfalls, highlighting how its informed use in practice is essential for companies to succeed. Finally, questions are raised concerning the future of IT: who will reap the benefits and why? Will IT continue to provide solutions and will it always deliver on its promise? Will it cease to advance and thus cease to be studied or will it continue to develop and thus provide new opportunities and challenges to users?

'Your Face Tomorrow is already being compared with Proust and rightly so' Observer 'One of contemporary literature's major works ... you have to open this book' Ali Smith 'I am myself my own fever and pain' Jacques Deza has been told he has a gift: he can see through people; guess just from their faces what will become of them. When he encounters the enigmatic Bertram Tupra at a party, Deza is persuaded to join a mysterious underground group. His task: to observe an assortment of people - politicians, celebrities, seemingly ordinary citizens - and predict their next move. But where will Deza's descent into this twilight world eventually take him? The first part of Javier Marias' masterly trilogy asks how well we truly know and understand those around us.

For the Sake of My Children is a book of poetry inspired by one woman's challenges with relationships and motherhood. The poems inside will bring readers from anger and fear toward feelings of wonder at the face of God as they contemplate the experiences of a woman motivated in all things to keep her children safe. Born in Jamaica, Yvonne was raised by her grandparents. She is a proud mother of six children. She went to the college of hard knocks called life. She has been knocked down several times, but for the sake of her children, she found herself asking God for wisdom to know that she would overcome. Yvonne started writing when she was abandoned by her first husband with their children while he rode off into the sunset and started another family. She completed a course in community development, then worked in several communities across Jamaica. In 1999, she was laid off. Faced with the fear of losing their home and splitting up her children, she went to court seeking the judge's assistance in getting child support; only to have a high-court judge tell her to send her children to the poorhouse. It was only by the grace of God that Yvonne did not lose her mind. She wants her children to know that people can be cruel, but she holds onto the hope that they will have a much brighter future. Her faith in God remains strong even after the death of her daughter, Jodi. She still sings songs of praise to God and shows her children what it is to believe through it all!

This collection of simple poetry is a pleasant journey of deeper self-awareness, and gratitude, on the road to self-discovery. You will learn a little more of how to find and fully appreciate the joy and fun in life as the topics of love, gratitude, hope and inspiration are more deeply explored. God gives us strength through the struggle between good and evil. In this struggle is where the best in life is found. The more we look the more we begin to clearly see that the joys in life abound. If we are lucky, God lets us all start out our lives with a strong sense of curiosity, while knowing that we are loved. We find the best in life by strengthening three aspects of our faith. The strength of our faith in God, the strength of our faith in others and the strength of our faith in ourselves. Both our love and our faith are strengthened by never giving up. At some point in our lives, many of us come to realize that it is the strength we find in the selfless love of Jesus Christ that is all that's held us up. The greatest value in the Christian life is the gift of eternal life! The second greatest value in the Christian life is in the living of it! Curtis H. West, M.L.S. The journey of self-discovery can be frightening, exhilarating, confusing, liberating, and often best undertaken accompanied by a caring voice. Charles Preston's poetry shiningly serves as such a voice for all who wish to begin a journey of their own. Suzanne Beeson, Ph.D., HSPP
