Book Description
This is the story of Muriuki, a young man from a Kenyan village who leaves him home and back-breaking job on a coffee plantation for the city, to pursue wealth, and happiness with his childhood sweetheart Mumbi. But life is not straightforward for the young lovers who become steeped in the quagmire of Kenyan politics, and are confronted with the sophistication of a new world, its economic hardships and brutality, and the racism and persistent inequities of the post-colonial and global society. Then Mumbi is murdered on account of her activism and race, in lineage with so many of her country's historical and fictional female activists. Muriuki avenges her death in a controversial act which reverberates historically and throughout the society in which he lives. But then he experiences betrayal by his own people, which changes him irrevocably.

Book Description
From a one-room Sunday school class--the lesson that's been downloaded over 8,000 times in 54 countries--comes A Rooster Once Crowed, A Commentary on the Greatest Story Ever Told. We live in those few moments between the first and the second crow of the rooster: between decision and indecision, between knowing and being known. But do you even care? Small decisions made today establish our path for all time, and yet we piddle with a piece of this and a taste of that. We diet on wisdom from antiquity and gorge on culture that is next month's joke. This story is an opportunity to gorge on Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, in context. It is the Gospel of Jesus Christ and an opportunity to see for yourself what it actually is, rather than what we mold it to be, and to finally choose whether or not to care. Through small stories and a modern context, this book will help you understand and decide what you believe about the greatest story ever told.

Book Description
This novel is about a fictional management professor and consultant Dr. Rout Logger who secured funding from wealthy donors for a new kind of seminar that was conducted in hotels in randomly-selected cities of the US on the first Saturday of the month starting October 2019. Forty participants were randomly-selected from pools of US citizens based on criteria designed to maximize diversity among the group members, including members identified with widely divergent psychological, social, economic, political, religious, educational, and philosophical states of affairs.The purpose of the seminar was to increase the OKness of group members by creating Adult ego state democratic discussions of existential problems facing Earthian humans. Group members were paid five thousand dollars per Saturday session attended. The meetings entailed morning and afternoon sessions of three hours. Each session was started by a roulette-like spinner, a copper rooster, called the Truther rooster, that would spin and crow when twirled. Whomever was sitting at the end of an imaginary straight line of fire extending from the rooster's beak to the circle of forty participants would be randomly selected as the Leader of the Moment, proving true democracy can happen. Each Leader of the Moment was required to answer three existential questions: What do you think is the most serious problem right now? what do you think the alternatives are for dealing with the problem? and what do you recommend for dealing with the problem?The process lasted six months, to March 2020. Rout told group members at the outset that the process might be continued for a year or more. Instead, it was terminated after the March meeting because of Covid-19. Rout was convinced the process increased the OKness of the group members in six months. The story ended with Rout and his donors funding a new computer-based I'm OK-You're OK Game-free democratic discussion system based on zoom technology that could be rolled out to thousands of similar groups around Spaceship Earth that might help Earthian humans increase their OKness enough to save themselves from extinction caused by global warming or nuclear war.

Book Description
Winner of a Chicago Book Clinic Design Award A Fragile Stone explores the dynamic life of the apostle Peter, revisiting well-known passages and revealing unexpected insights. Author Michael Card sketches out Peter's life, showing how the impetuous fisherman of the Gospels was transformed into the pivotal leader of the early church. "The ultimate reason for getting to know Peter," Card explains, "is so together we might better know Jesus. For the story of Peter is the story of Jesus. Perhaps, if you and I do our best, the same will be said of us someday." Peter's life serves as a model for Christian discipleship, offering hope that we likewise can be changed as Jesus calls us to follow him.
