Описание: As the largest employer of one of the world's leading economic and geo-political superpowers, the history of the federal government's workforce is a rich and essential tool for understanding how the "Great Experiment" truly works. The literal face of federal policy, federal employees enjoy a history as rich as the country itself, while reflecting the country's evolution towards true democracy within a public space. Nowhere is this progression towards democracy more apparent than with its internal race relations. While World War II was a boon to black workers, little is known about the nuanced, ongoing struggles for dignity and respect that black workers endured while working these "good, government jobs." American Dream Deferredchallenges postwar narratives of government largess for African Americans by illuminating the neglected stories of these unknown black workers.

Описание: Gooding and Lennox address issues surrounding the value of humans. They consider the nature and basis of morality, compare what morality means in different systems, and assess the way freedom is often devalued. What should guide our use of power? What should limit our choices? To what extent can our choices keep us from fulfilling our potential?
They were more than sisters. They were best friends.
War led them to face choices they never thought they would have to make.
Etta Sue Compton and Jennifer Bolinger were more than sisters; they were best friends. Family meant everything to them. They were confident that nothing could ever change their loyalty. This confidence was soon to be challenged in ways they could not have imagined. The war at their doorstep forces them to face conflicts that alter their political conviction, challenge their religious beliefs, and strain their faith. Unsure of what they believe, each sister is faced with a dilemma. Circumstances demand they make decisions that are life or death. Should their loyalty be to Lincoln and the Union or Jefferson Davis and the Confederacy? Peace only comes as they abide in the moral law of love that is higher than any earthly government. Not knowing if these decisions will end in death, prison, or freedom, they both follow their heart and trust in God.

Описание: When you find out you are going to be forced to have extensive down time with radiation treatments, you can react in many ways. I choose to use the time to put down my reflections on my life and my thoughts about topics I wanted to share with my children, family, and close friends. While facing 43 treatments I sure had time for 43 topics. My brother said I needed to share this outside family and friends. I hope you find some humor and commonality in spirit. Being a survivor of now two different cancers I think I am starting to understand just how precious life really is.
We need a coherent picture of our world. Life's realities won't let us ignore its fundamental questions, but with so many opposing views, how will we choose answers that are reliable? In this series of books, David Gooding and John Lennox offer a fair analysis of religious and philosophical attempts to find the truth about the world and our place in it. By listening to the Bible alongside other leading voices, they show that it is not only answering life's biggest questions--it is asking better questions than we ever thought to ask.
In Book 5 - Claiming to Answer, they argue it is not enough to have an ethical theory telling us what standards we ought to live by, because we often fail in our duties and do what we know is wrong. How can we overcome this universal weakness? Many religions claim to be able to help, but is the hope they offer true? Gooding and Lennox state why they think the claims of Jesus Christ are valid and the help he offers is real. n Book 5 - Claiming to Answer, they argue it is not enough to have an ethical theory telling us what standards we ought to live by, because we often fail in our duties and do what we know is wrong.

In Book 3 - Questioning Our Knowledge, Gooding and Lennox discuss how we could know whether any of these competing worldviews are true. What is truth anyway, and is it absolute? How would we recognize truth if we encountered it? Beneath these questions lies another that affects science, philosophy, ethics, literature and our everyday lives: how do we know anything at all?
