Book excerpt: With issues such as the ordination of women and the call for "inclusive" language affecting the Church today, Dr. Amda Spencer has provided a helpful and important study of how the Scriptures really speak to these and other issues related to the role of women in the Church. From the biblical account of creation and "the fall" to other relevant Old Testament passages, "Beyond the Curse" carefully examines the attitudes toward and teachings about women" especially those of Jesus and Paul. "Beyond the Curse" sheds light on instances in the New Testament of feminine authority and on feminine metaphors used in Scripture to define God, the church, and society. Jesus is shown to have broken through the cultural barriers of first-century Palestine in His attitudes toward and dealings with women. Paul's later works are found to be consistent with Jesus' views, as Spencer notes the vital place of women in Paul's ministry. Women in leadership roles and the many implications are viewed firsthand by Dr. Spencer" herself a minister. Dr. William David Spencer, the author's husband, gives an afterword, explaining his personal journey as the spouse of an ordained minister. Timely and vital to an understanding of the growth of a woman's role in the Church, "Beyond the Curse" is a compelling and important work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When countries discover that they possess large deposits of oil and natural gas, the news is usually welcome. Yet, paradoxically, if they rely on their wealth of natural resources, they often set down a path of poor economic performance and governance challenges. Only a few resource-rich countries have managed to develop their economies fully and provide a better and sustainable standard of living for large segments of their populations. This phenomenon, known as the resource curse, is a core challenge for energy-exporting states. Beyond the Resource Curse focuses on this relationship between natural wealth and economic security, discussing the particular pitfalls and consistent perils facing oil- and gas-exporting states. The contributors to this volume look beyond the standard fields of research related to the resource curse. They also shed new light on the specific developmental problems of resource-rich exporting states around the globe, including Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Cambodia, East Timor, Iran, Norway, Russia, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela. Policy makers and academics think of energy security solely in terms of the interests of energy importers. Beyond the Resource Curse shows that the constant volatility in energy markets creates energy security challenges for exporters as well.

Book excerpt: Creating order out of chaos has frightening consequences in this New York Times bestselling series! Kiranmala must leave the Kingdom Beyond and travel to her hometown of Parsippany to save Prince Lal, who has been spirited to the unlikeliest of places -- a tree in the yard of her best-enemy-for-life. She also faces evil serpents (of course!), plus a frightening prophecy about her role in the coming conflict between good and evil. Most troubling of all, though, is the way reality all around her seems to waver and flicker at odd moments. Could it be that the Anti-Chaos Committee's efforts are causing a dangerous disruption in the multiverse? Kiran must grapple with the increasingly tangled threads that threaten to ensnare her...and everyone in the world and the Kingdom Beyond.

Book excerpt: Beyond the Curse is to be on or to the farther side, at a greater distance than, out of the reach of or sphere of something that lies outside of the scope of ordinary experiences. In a degree or amount of surpassing. This is what Jesus did for us. He took us beyond the curse and dissolved it for us. The message Bible says: Christ redeemed us from that self-defeating cursed life by absorbing it completely into Himself. That is what happened when Jesus was nailed to the cross. He became a curse and, at the same time, dissolved the curse in Himself that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ "that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith" (Gal. 3:13 14). Believers have been redeemed from the curse of the law through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. That curse doesn't exist anymore for the believer; we are beyond it. Remember, the blessing is before you, and the curse is behind you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hall is authentic, transparent and raw as she shares the many facets of her dynamic life and colorful personality. The chapters are like peeling an onion as Hall deftly delivers the most dismal times of her life. Readers will experience so many emotions, but in the end will be cheering for Hall's escape, redemption, and power to rebuild a successful life. She credits her beloved 93-year-old Grandmother unconditional love and wisdom for giving her the endurance and strength to overcome all that life has dealt her. Hall reveals, "I sought answers from others about my own value. I did not see nor know that I was born valuable," but continuous talk therapy has helped her to let go of shame, anxiety, and self-hate and walk proudly in her truth. She challenges readers to own their power and to unabashedly live their reality with no regrets. Today, she is vulnerable enough and ready to expend the energy to try emotional intimacy to break the love curse because she knows that if Love fails her again and again, she is built and equipped to survive.Hall says, "Society thinks being single is a sickness or disorder and that can lead to toxic relationships." She unapologetically takes the reader on her journey to find peace, joy, and wholeness. Hall, an advocate, and champion of mental wellness realize that hurt and broken people hurt and break others. She has committed her entire life to avoid being like her mentally ill mother, and to shoulder the burden of responsibility, along with her ex-husband Mark, for caring for her three boys and only daughter whom all have special abilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a comprehensive overview of Ghana’s hydrocarbon economy using actor network and assemblage theories to contest the methodological nationalism of mainstream accounts of the resource curse in resource-rich countries. Drawing upon recent field research focused on Ghana’s oil and gas sector and utilizing the theoretical framework of actor network theory, the authors contend that there is an assemblage of political, economic, social and environmental networks, processes, actions, actors, and structures of power that coalesce to determine the extent to which the country’s hydrocarbon resources could be regarded as a "curse" or "blessing." This framing facilitates a better understanding of the variety (and duality) of local and global forces and power structures at play in Ghana’s growing hydrocarbon industry. Giving a nuanced and multi-perspectival analysis of the factors that underlie oil-engendered development in Ghana, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of African political economy, development and the politics of resource extraction.

Book excerpt: The glass slippers might be her dreams come true...or her worst nightmare. High King Alexander rules the Seven Kingdoms of Tallahatchia-a divided nation on the brink of yet another war. When an invitation arrives from the king of Pohatomie, Alex knows it must be a trap, but could it also be his opportunity to unite the kingdoms? Daemyn Rand has lived a hundred years, served an arrogant prince, fallen in love with a princess, and lost himself somewhere along the way. He has already died for his loyalty. Will standing at the high king's side cost him his last chance to truly live? Elara Ashen is a lowly, miserable servant. All she wants is to spend even one night in a fancy dress dancing with the high king. When she is offered a pair of glass slippers, it seems that all her dreams have come true. But dreams have a price, and gifts can be curses in disguise. What will it cost to stop this curse from tearing Tallahatchia apart yet again? Fairy tales meet the Appalachian Mountains in this adventurous fantasy retelling of the classic Cinderella story.
