In this sweeping appraisal of the urban condition, David Wadley argues that anything less that high-level resolution in modelling the well-being of inhabitants is wasting precious time. Humanity is encountering rising entropy, caused by unsustainable economic and demographic expansion. Supported by a strong interdisciplinary backdrop featuring systems and crisis theories, The City of Grace tackles these obstacles by picturing gracious function and graceful form in a human-scale settlement. In an attempt to salvage things lost in the teleology of urban development over the last 100 years, the outlook is both heterodox and contrarian. How long can we all go on in the present way? In addressing grace, a more elevated concept than those focusing previous urban analyses, this manifesto aims not to placate or please but, instead, to get humanity to face the encompassing realities it tries so hard to forget.

There is a gospel movement quietly spreading through the largest country in the world. Despite secularism, materialism, and social decay, despite government control and persecution, "house churches" are attracting millions of new believers throughout the major cities of China. Among these churches, a new movement of pastors form a true indigenous expression of Reformed theology, preaching prophetically to a postmodern audience and preparing and strengthening their flocks for suffering. In this book, five Chinese house church pastors apply scripture to life in modern China, which mirrors a fast-paced globalized world that has lost its moral framework. Developed from sermons on the five solas, these essays speak to pastors and laypeople alike who seek to follow Christ out of Christian complacency and provide a beacon to the alienated modern global citizen.

"An exceptionally wide-ranging and balanced examination of American culture in the 1950s. Johns spans the cultural horizon from food and clothing to music, literature, art, architecture and politics. In highly readable prose, he transmits his enthusiasm for the subject and conveys the sights, sounds, and smells of ordinary everyday life in America a generation ago. His book will be important to anyone seriously studying this crucial and largely misunderstood period in American life."—Alan Ehrenhalt, author of The Lost City: The Forgotten Virtues of Community in America."

Sabbath Valley lay like a green jewel cupped in the hand of the surrounding mountains with the morning sun serene upon it picking out the clean smooth streets, the white houses with their green blinds, the maples with their clear cut leaves, the cosy brick school house wide winged and friendly, the vine clad stone church, and the little stone bungalow with low spreading roof that was the parsonage. The word manse had not yet reached the atmosphere. There were no affectations in Sabbath Valley.

Grace Caton can't wait to leave behind her tiny village in Trinidad for New York City. With the right amount of wit, pluck, and determination--all of which Grace has in spades--she knows she'll conquer her new world. But from the moment she touches down, nothing goes as planned. For starters, the aunt who promised to watch over her never shows up at the airport, leaving Grace completely on her own. Fortunately, she stumbles into a vibrant immigrant community in Crown Heights and meets eccentric new friends, like her Orthodox Jewish landlord and fellow West Indian native Kathy, who feels any outfit can be improved with a Bedazzler. Next up is getting a job: working as a nanny for the Bruckners, an upper-middle-class family in Manhattan, proves to be her best--really, her only--option. Grace adores her four-year-old charge, Ben, but the Bruckner household is a minefield loaded with outrageous hours and jaw-dropping tasks. On top of that, she has to navigate the nanny hierarchy at Union Square Park, where secrets and gossip are traded faster than wet wipes. When Grace discovers that the Bruckners have some surprising secrets, her life becomes increasingly complicated and confusing. But friends and opportunities appear in the most unexpected places, and Grace realizes that she's living in a city--and a world--where anything is possible. "Revealing New York's melting pot at its most complicated, this interesting first novel is told from the perspective of someone who has been there and done that. Brown drew from her personal experience as a young immigrant nanny, and her story is fascinating, tender, and heartbreaking." --Library Journal "Brown is a new voice with much to offer." --Kirkus "[A] touching novel." --Publishers Weekly
