Book Description
Journalist Joe Talbert investigates the murder of the father he never knew, and must reckon with his own family's past, in this "brilliant sequel" to the national bestseller The Life We Bury (Publishers Weekly) Joe Talbert, Jr. has never once met his namesake. Now out of college, a cub reporter for the Associated Press in Minneapolis, he stumbles across a story describing the murder of a man named Joseph Talbert in a small town in southern Minnesota. Full of curiosity about whether this man might be his father, Joe is shocked to find that none of the town's residents have much to say about the dead man-other than that his death was long overdue. Joe discovers that the dead man was a loathsome lowlife who cheated his neighbors, threatened his daughter, and squandered his wife's inheritance after she, too, passed away -- an inheritance that may now be Joe's. Mired in uncertainty and plagued by his own devastated relationship with his mother, who is seeking to get back into her son's life, Joe must put together the missing pieces of his family history -- before his quest for discovery threatens to put him in a grave of his own.

Unpopular Privacy
Author: Anita Allen
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199913188
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
Can the government stick us with privacy we don't want? It can, it does, and according to Anita L. Allen, it may need to do more of it. Privacy is a foundational good, Allen argues, a necessary tool in the liberty-lover's kit for a successful life. A nation committed to personal freedom must be prepared to mandate privacy protections for its people, whether they eagerly embrace them or not. This unique book draws attention to privacies of seclusion, concealment, confidentiality and data-protection undervalued by their intended beneficiaries and targets--and outlines the best reasons for imposing them. Allen looks at laws designed to keep website operators from collecting personal information, laws that force strippers to wear thongs, and the myriad employee and professional confidentiality rules--including insider trading laws--that require strict silence about matters whose disclosure could earn us small fortunes. She shows that such laws recognize the extraordinary importance of dignity, trust and reputation, helping to preserve social, economic and political options throughout a lifetime.

Why We Hide

Pages :
Book Description
God created Adam and Eve to walk with Him naked, and He never intended for them to feel guilt and shame. Unfortunately, when Satan appealed to the pride in the hearts of the first man and woman, they responded in disobedience to God's command. In doing that, Adam and Eve plunged all future generations into lives often filled with sin, guilt and shame.Shame is Satan's most powerful tool in keeping Christians at a distance from God, and he relishes every opportunity to disable the spiritual engine of our lives using that tool. Guilt and shame cause believers to hide their primary weaknesses from each other, and in theory, away from God. God's desire is for believers to find refuge in Him, confessing their sin, and partnering with Him to pursue the good works He has planned for them.Christians have largely ignored the encouragement of God written in James 5:16: "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." We have ignored emphasizing confession to one another because of our shame and fear of rejection.Why We Hide encourages believers to dig deep into their soul to find their hidden idols, and will step the believer though the process of confession and restoration. Designed as a resource for biblical counseling and group conversations, believers who desire to live a much more effective life for Christ will find Why We Hide to be an excellent starting place for that journey.

A Small Book about a Big Problem
Author: Edward T. Welch
Publisher: New Growth Press
ISBN: 1945270144
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
A Small Book about a Big Problem by biblical counselor and psychologist Edward T. Welch guides readers to look carefully at how their anger affects them and others through short, daily meditations. In a fifty-day reading plan journey, Welch unpacks anger while encouraging and teaching readers to respond with patience to life's difficulties. This biblically wise resource is a useful tool for pastors, counselors, and lay helpers who are working with people who struggle with a short fuse. In A Small Book about a Big Problem, Welch invites readers to consider how everyone can find anger in their actions and attitudes, but Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is the only one who can empower his people to grow in patience, peace, and wholeness. How many times today have you been irritated? Frustrated? Anger is so common—yet it also hurts. It not only leaves a mark on us, but it also leaves a mark on others. The wounds we inflict on ourselves and others because of anger—loss of intimacy, trust, security, and enjoyment in our closest relationships—give us compelling reasons to look closely at our anger and lift our eyes to Christ.
