Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said, "Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility." For many Christians in America, it is easy to sit back and criticize the actions of government and our leaders, hiding behind a veil of thoughts rather than spring into action. But what does God say about about our civic duties? How are we to respond? How do we bring our Christian convictions to light within our communities? Ken Connor and John Revell approach this relevant topic in Sinful Silence, which presents biblical principles regarding the heart of God towards the issue of civic involvement. By examining the writings of the prophet Isaiah, Connor and Revell make a compelling case for believers to live up to their political responsibilities and to reflect God's priorities regarding the participation in the civil process. Presented in a politically unbiased way, Connor and Revell make a strong and compelling case that breathes new life into the call for Christians to be active within our culture. They encourage believers to be salt and light within our communities and make a profound impact on our great nation.

The coup remains the single most common form of power change throughout the world. The government being targeted by a coup attempt could be democratically elected, a long-standing dictatorship, or nothing more than a junta put in place by the previous month's coup. The motivation will always be lust for power, patriotism, greed or exploitation. It is usually a combination of power, greed and exploitation disguised as patriotism. How to Stage a Military Coup explores these violent and often bloody appropriations of authority, alongside the political, military, and social conditions out of which they arise. Taking into account factors such as timing, media control, popular support, and government organisational structure, and by drawing on examples of coups from all over the world, both failed and successful, the authors reveal exactly what it takes to carry out a successful government take-over.
