"Michelle Weise has a knack for distilling the complexities of education, labor, and policy into an integrated approach to building a more hopeful future of work. Weise skillfully links the individual stories of working-age adults to the underlying patterns of dysfunction in the U.S. labor market. In Long Life Learning, Weise shows that the future of work is here, and that we need to act now to construct a learning-to-earning system that works for everyone." --Byron Auguste, CEO and Cofounder, Opportunity@Work
"A prescient exploration of higher education's coming shift from 'all you can eat in one sitting' to 'what you need when you need it' by one of the most creative and respected thinkers in the field." --Ryan Craig, author, A New U: Faster + Cheaper Alternatives to College
"Michelle makes a brilliant case not just for the necessity of adults investing in learning throughout their lives, but also for the creation of a new system that systematically supports them across their lives as they do so. This book begins to lay out the puzzle pieces of what that new system should look like." --Michael B. Horn, author, Choosing College
"By examining economic trends, innovations in education and hiring, and the lived experiences of working learners, Weise reveals the shortcomings of our fragmented education and workforce systems and challenges us to reimagine the future of learning. Weise demonstrates how and why we must all become working learners, and presents a clear, optimistic vision for a new learning ecosystem in which we can all take part." --Maria Flynn, President and CEO, Jobs for the Future
"Weise brings sky-high projections about the future of work down to earth with forward-looking and actionable steps to advance career-focused learning and training. Her examination of higher education goes beyond the usual calls for change to demonstrate how burgeoning innovations are laying the foundation of a learning ecosystem of the future--flexible enough for all people--to move consistently in and out of learning and work." --Joseph Fuller, Professor, Harvard Business School and former CEO, Monitor Group

Описание: "Timmy Reed's stories are so strange and so funny that it's impossible to stop reading them. There is a great imagination at work in Tell God I Don't Exist and I'm grateful to have been a witness to it." - Michael Kimball, author of Big Ray and Dear Everybody "If George Saunders and Russell Edson had a baby he'd probably grow up to write like Timmy Reed. These stories are beautifully haunting, surprisingly bizarre, and wonderfully imaginative. It is a joy to read such fresh and mind-bending prose." - Jessica Anya Blau, author of Drinking Closer to Home and The Summer of Naked Swim Parties "Timmy Reed's Tell God I Don't Exist announces a wildly gifted new voice. These stories are at once intimate and vast, full of beauty and strangeness and grit and heartbreak. A luminous debut." - Laura van den Berg, author of What the World Will Look Like When All the Water Leaves Us "...I think it's amazing." - Scott McClanahan (http: //entropymag.org/the-weird-interview-scott-mcclanahan/) "In a world of posturing and worrying about public perception, it's liberating to let loose and give in to the ecstatic joy that characterizes Reed's oeuvre." - Quincy Rhoads, HTML Giant (http: //htmlgiant.com/reviews/25-points-tell-god-i-dont-exist/) "If you come to this book with expectations of what a short story should be, prepare to have them pleasantly, if fleetingly, defied. If you go in with no expectations, then congratulations, you may be one of the few people who don't need art like this." - Baltimore City Paper (Full Review: http: //citypaper.com/arts/books/book-review-em-tell-god-i-don-8217-t-exist-em-1.1532044) "Really, Reed's characters are just looking for beauty, just like anybody else. The irony, of course, is that they often experience a beauty we would find enthralling if we were in their situations. This is part of the point he's making, I think, that there's beauty in our own lives that we miss for various reasons. But we should pay attention. There's a beauty in all life, and there's beauty in connection." - C.L. Bledsoe, Prick of the Spindle (http: //www.prickofthespindle.com/index.htm) "His writing includes bizarre otherworldy situations taking place on earth; apocalyptic atmospheres where subtle tenderness exists; our new technology juxtaposed against things more primitive; surreal images in mundane costumes. His terse sentences hauntingly make you laugh." - Matthew Sherling, Cutty Spot (http: //cuttyspot.tumblr.com/post/71531951056/some-of-my-favorite-media-i-can-remember) "If Aesop's Fables every decided to get weird, really weird, they'd look a lot like Tell God I Don't Exist." - Beach Sloth (Full Review: http: //beachsloth.blogspot.com/2013/04/tell-god-i-dont-exist-by-timmy-reed.html) "The prose itself is refreshingly unique. The sentences layer themselves into often-unexpected situations, expressing themselves with a clarity that never makes you feel lost, despite the rabbit holes (or perhaps mole tunnels) that they often lead you through. The experiences in each feel tangible, despite the dream-like way in which they often unfold." - Rachel Wooley, Monologging (Full Review: http: //monologging.org/?p=1431)

Описание:
Is God really out there? How can we know? Did God give us evidence that can't be reasonably ignored? The only logical way to prove His existence is to use the evidence God gave us for that purpose. That is what we will explore in this book.
As we go through this evidence, we will also see His plan, what He is doing now, what He is waiting for, why He is waiting, your part in the plan, how He will answer all your questions, and the ultimate end: a peaceful universe.
Author Dan Tierney is confident that, if you honestly pursue the evidence that God has given, you will come to the solid conclusion that God is real. If it is the truth, it will all fit together and make sense. He also includes some helpful material about the origin of life and the physical evidence for a worldwide flood.
Moses asked God what to tell the Israelites when they ask what His name is. God gave him the answer, "I AM has sent me to you," Exodus 3:14. We also must believe that "He is," Hebrews 11:6. Hence, the title of the book.
What are you waiting for? Come now and let us reason together.
