First published in 1956, The Power Elite stands as a contemporary classic of social science and social criticism. C. Wright Mills examines and critiques the organization of power in the United States, calling attention to three firmly interlocked prongs of power: the military, corporate, and political elite. The Power Elite can be enjoyed as a good account of what was taking place in America at the time it was written, but its underlying question of whether America is as democratic in practice as it is in theory continues to matter very much today.

Hailed upon publication as a cogent and hard-hitting critique, The Sociological Imagination took issue with the ascendant schools of sociology in the United States, calling for a humanist sociology connecting the social, personal, and historical dimensions of our lives. The sociological imagination Mills calls for is a sociological vision, a way of looking at the world that can see links between the apparently private problems of the individual and important social issues. 

You know grace saved you. But do you actually believe it? Most of us live somewhere between two ditches. On one side, grace has been softened into a permission slip — a cosmic shrug that says God doesn't really care what you do. On the other side, grace has been hardened into a reward — something you earn by reading enough, praying enough, and performing well enough to keep God from being disappointed in you. Both versions are lies. And both will leave you exhausted or empty.

You've been told to "just have faith." But has anyone told you what faith actually is? Most of us carry a version of faith that was handed to us secondhand—believe hard enough and God will come through, never doubt or you're failing, close your eyes and jump. It sounds spiritual. But it's not biblical. And it falls apart the moment life gets heavy. Real Faith strips away the greeting-card theology and replaces it with what Scripture actually teaches: faith is not a feeling, not a quantity, and not blind.

Since the Cold War, outer space has become of strategic importance for nations looking to seize the ultimate high ground. World powers establishing a presence there must consider, among other things, how they will conduct warfare in orbit. Leaders must dispense with "Buck Rogers" notions about operations in space and realize that policies there will have serious ramifications for geopolitics. How should nations view space? How should they fight there? What would space warfare look like and how should strategists approach it?

The Lords of Creation rule the Nine Worlds through its control of the ultra-advanced technology that has permitted the colonization of the entire solar System. More gods than men, the Lords of Creation have cheated Death itself. But although they rule the solar system with their god-like scientific knowledge, there are even more powerful forces to be feared lurking out in the dark depths of space. And when an unthinkably terrible enemy that rules a vast network of dead stars and planets comes to the Nine Worlds, it falls to them to stop it, though entire worlds may perish.

Thirteen-year-old Jennifer Nicole McGillicuddy, nicknamed Sweet Pickles, lives in the small riverside town of Anglers Cove, North Carolina—a place where most folks would assume not much ever happens.

In this book, I discuss the life and times of Jesus based on the Bible and the works of religious scholars, researchers, authors, and spiritual teachers. The focus of this book is to show how Jesus, through his teachings, caused the members of the Sanhedrin great concern as his followers began to increase. He threatened their power over the Jews by questioning their lack of understanding of the scriptures. Jesus called them to repentance for their pompous, prideful, and phony pious. For the Sanhedrin, it was Man Against Messiah.

Once, in a theater long ago and far, far away, young audiences who watched the nostalgic space epic of yesteryear, known then only as Star Wars, were duly enthralled. So much goodwill, so much affection, and so much love has rarely been lavished on any franchise. So much money from so many eager fans was never so readily available. Yet, with one potent death star-like blast of mind-breakingly awful filmmaking, the Disney Corporation has managed to alienate that goodwill, spurn that affection, and lose that money.

As a young deputy with the Monterey County Sheriff’s Department, she wanted nothing more than to live in peace and never again deal with those who visited unannounced. But, fate has a way of dragging us where we are needed.

Sadie Lee Branch is an investigative reporter who needed to drop everything to go help her family. What was supposed to be a nice change of pace quickly turned into murder, larceny, and betrayal. Sadie quickly discovered that 10 years away from home was a long time and the friends (and enemies) you knew could change a lot in that time. Without knowing who to trust, the girl that got away was afraid that coming back could cost her a lot more than the loss of an old acquaintance. It could cost her everything.
