Book Description
All Henry Preston Taylor wants to do is oust the President of the United States, and he can't understand why it's so difficult. Using the tried and true methods he's employed in the past, Taylor has created "The President Project," a vast conspiracy which he feels will guarantee success this time. The only problem is the media; the most popular talk show hosts have dropped like flies, due to drug and sex scandals, and there are very few outlets available to peddle his wares. He decides that the only way he can be successful is to control the message himself, through his own radio talk show. Enter Merton Greeley, a 30-something janitor who is thrust onto the radio due to extreme circumstances. Greeley is loud, bombastic, and phenomenally stupid; the perfect foil for Taylor's plans. Or is he? Talent on Loan is a raucous ride through the world of politics and media, which leaves no stone unturned and no nose un-bloodied.

God's Triple Threat
Author: Greg Carlson
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1616635266
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
God is destroying the kingdom of darkness. God equips and deploys us, his saints, in this magnificent campaign. But the Almighty does not arm us from just a single arsenal of gifts, as is commonly supposed. Instead, he draws from three distinct arsenals: abilities, leaders, and the charismatic gifts. The triune God gives triune gifts. What are these gifts, what are they like, and how do they work? These three arsenals differ profoundly from one another. But the church has not truly discerned this, and so a fog of confusion has enveloped the whole subject. Confusion brings futility and frustration; clarity brings effectiveness and fulfillment. Who gives the gifts, and to whom? When are they given? Are the gifts natural, supernatural, or both? Can any Christian operate in any gift? Where do the gifts live? Can you use them at any time? Can you operate in God's gifts at will? The answers may surprise you. God's Triple Threat, An Inquiry into the Spiritual Gifts works carefully step by step to bring clarity to this often confusing subject with exuberant illustrations for application. Author Greg Carlson prays that the vision in this book will become a reality in his lifetime. So the clock is ticking for you and your church to more fully experience the dynamic of God's threefold gifts.

Poiesis
Author: Peter Hampden Acton
Publisher:
ISBN: 0199335931
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
Despite the fact that Athenians consumed great quantities of manufactured goods, and around half of the residents of classical Athens can be shown to have been more or less dependent for survival on manufacturing in some form, this subject has been almost completely neglected by historians. Poiesis brings together ancient texts and inscriptions, recent scholarly analysis, archaeological finds, and the expertise of modern craftsmen to investigate every known facet of Athens' manufacturing activities. Authored by a management consultant and a recent PhD in Ancient History, the book presents the information in terms of contemporary business principles, drawing on supply and demand and risk-return analysis to explain events and choices. Manufacturing operations are classified in a novel framework based on competitive advantage and barriers to entry, concepts previously absent from ancient history. The framework explains why certain segments were suited to the sole craftsman and others to teams of slaves, and deduces earnings potential based upon competitive differentiation. The result is a new angle on how Athenian society operated; in particular it shows how fragmented industry structures, often the result of primitive technology, were fundamental to the workings of the Athenian democracy by enabling citizens to supplement their income through casual manufacturing activity. The book explains how manufacturing for sale emerged from autarchic peasant households, explores whether any of the industries examined changed to any great extent in Hellenistic and Roman times, and shows how some were transformed by the Industrial Revolution. It includes a methodology for quantifying the demographics of participation in manufacturing. By presenting a new paradigm of historical analysis, one complementing political, military, and literary perspectives, the book will be valuable to classicists and ancient and economic historians.
