Описание: Instant communication. Nonstop news cycles. Self-driving autos. That's what our world had become. Staring at our "devices" while autobots drove us to work. It was a lot to absorb for old-school types like Jake. He'd achieved urban success and was doing his best to evolve. Like everyone else, he was dependent on the grid. It brought the power, carried the news and entertainment, and tracked the distribution of food, water, and life for all. But past experiences had turned Jake into a bit of a "prepper." He worried if he was a bit crazy. But then it all goes dark. The nation's power grid collapses. At a breaking point from societal and governmental pressures, a natural disaster brings it all down. Jake and Rachel's family is separated by thousands of miles, without communication, without technology - without the grid. All they have are the plans and musings Jake's instilled. As the country unravels, this small family will work to hold it all together. Will the darkness last days, weeks, or years? Whatever the duration, it will change your life in a moment. Will you be ready? What do you do when you find yourself "gridless"? A professional designer and communicator, Whetstone lives in north Texas. As a small-town farm boy, he's also shared conference tables with top CEOs and logged miles in tour buses of top entertainers. His experiences are incredibly diverse. Whetstone's seen his vehicles in magazines, written an album ("Rocket Fuel") and performed stand-up comedy. Now, he's written his first novel ("Gridless"). Whetstone also works alongside his beautiful wife, a former fashion model, on a number of ventures. Currently, they're renovating a historic home in Grapevine, Texas. And, they do have a cabin in Montana, where she catches bigger fish than he does.

BRAVE FOR MY FAMILY is a book for every American child to read and celebrate the bravery of those on the homefront when a parent is away fighting for our country.
Davidson's father was deployed every year of his young life when, at 6 years old, four days before Christmas, the call came that he was injured by an RPG in Afghanistan.
Davidson's journey during his father's service, recovery at Walter Reed hospital and his return to the battlefield is the heart this book, perfect for children ages 4-8.
BRAVE FOR MY FAMILY is for every child who had to be brave when they were scared and should be required reading for every American child protected by our armed services.
With vivid, compelling art by Davidson's own active duty father, this book shows readers that no matter what challenges they face, they are not alone.
Proceeds from the book support Military Families and Wounded Warriors through trusted organizations who have demonstrated their commitment to those who serve: The Green Beret Foundation, The Patriot Foundation, Navy Seal Foundation, Semper Fi Fund, Wounded Warrior Project and Lead the Way Fund.

Dr. Whetstone has written a much-needed book that gives us a practical, clear approach to ethical decision making. I know of no other book on leadership that proves its value so remarkably by melding theory, method, and hands-on practice--and all from a Christian perspective. As a growing array of stakeholders exert pressure, our institutions are pushed and pulled between competing measures of success. Christian character in our students, high enrollment, financial health, employable students, and accreditation are only a few we could name. Yet within this milieu, we want to be faithful to our calling to serve Christ. How does a Christian administrator make a good, ethical decision amid the complexity? Whetstone suggests a way through while continually challenging us to be the "light for the dark side." This book should be required reading for all Christian college and university teachers.
- Dr. Beth M. Doriani, former dean, College of Arts & Sciences, Eastern University
Educators, administrators, and faculty of Christian institutions should, and can, serve their institution's mission according to a God-honoring ethic. But this is not easy. Teaching and research faculty commonly refer to their administration--the president, provost, and deans--as the Dark Side. Faculty members appointed to administrative positions are sometimes considered traitors for going over to the Dark Side.
The twelve cases offered in this book are based on actual situations involving relations and tensions among university presidents, provosts, deans, department chairs, and other full-time and adjunct faculty members. Questions accompanying each case seek to guide rational discussion of ethical issues involving conflicts of interest, hiring and termination, communication practice, new program development, and relations among students, faculty, and consultants.

Описание:
A practical guide for anyone called to be a good leader, Leadership Ethics & Spirituality explains why and how you can be both effective and ethical as a successful leader while walking by faith. From a biblical worldview, it draws upon leadership research and ethics theory to explain what practices and character qualities you need to be a good leader and how you can develop and apply them successfully to the challenges faced in twenty-first-century organizations-effectively, ethically, and with spiritual-mindedness. Although written primarily to Christian leaders, it offers useful insights for those from other spiritual traditions and perspectives as well.
