In a world that runs with the need for speed, we feel time pushing us, sometimes even mastering us, as we rush from one thing to the next. Time is as familiar as the clock on the wall, yet it's also a mystery. For poets, philosophers, songwriters, and scientists, time and eternity are frontiers as rich and compelling as the origins of the cosmos and the nature of God. One of the emerging writers and thinkers of our day, Ellen Vaughn, takes us on a stirring journey through this topic that touches us all. How can time-bound humans relate to a limitless God and enjoy his peace? Time Peace examines how we experience time in life's fleeting moments. It explores timekeeping through history and in different cultures and introduces the unique Christian distinctive about it. It soars through the space-time continuum in an intriguing exploration of how science and philosophy illuminate biblical accounts. It helps readers take these truths and apply them to everyday life, freeing us to live at peace in time---and to leave a legacy that lasts for eternity.

' ...Definitely worth reading' -Billy Graham 'Colson's criticisms of the Religious Right are especially noteworthy...Colson's warnings echo a concern that religious conservatives would be reckless to ignore.' -Richard N. Ostling, Religion Editor, Time 'The timing could hardly be better for an author with a new book.' -Newsweek 'Kingdoms in Conflict speaks with wisdom and 'guts' to the major issues of our day.' -Charles R. Swindoll 'Kingdoms in Conflict is a classic that belongs on every Christian's bookshelf.' -Dr. James C. Dobson 'This was a book waiting for Chuck Colson to write. As no other evangelical author can, Colson brings his political experience, thoroughly changed life, and lucid writing together at just the right time...' -Moody Monthly 'The arguments- church-state, the correct admixture between the two- are familiar grist for controversial mills, but Colson does wonderful theatrical instruction in his book...' - William F. Buckley, Jr. 'In Kingdoms in Conflict Charles W. Colson masterfully weds the two subjects he knows best- politics and Christian faith.' -Russell Chandler 'Kingdoms in Conflict offers a welcomed new insight into an age-old question.' - Jack Anderson 'One cannot be a passive reader of Chuck Colson's Kingdoms in Conflict.' -Mark O. Hatfield

When Paul Trible-former U.S. Senator and congressman from Virginia-arrived at Christopher Newport University as its new president in 1996, CNU was a spunky school with heart, but it wasn't in the best of shape financially, academically, or aesthetically. Its future was not bright. Paul dreamed bold dreams. He painted grand word pictures of what CNU would become. Everywhere he went, he held up an audacious vision of Christopher Newport as one of America's premiere public universities, a beautiful campus of national distinction, and a competitive destination of choice for gifted students.\nMany listeners shrugged. Trible hadn't come from academia; he didn't know what could and couldn't be done at this humble, commuter-based campus. After one particularly soaring speech, a respected faculty curmudgeon summed it up: Trible was "crazy as hell." Fortunately Paul had been called a lot of names during his political career. He had thick skin and confidence in a compelling vision. He grinned, courted the curmudgeon as a friend, and went on to actually accomplish all the bold and unconventional changes of which he dreamed. During Paul's 26 years as president, Christopher Newport was transformed, becoming a unique, respected jewel among America's public universities.\nThis surprising account is not just a tale about Paul Trible, though he's an inspiring guy. It's not just a case study for educators or a book about transformational leadership, though its principles are transferrable truths. It's not an architectural tome about bricks and mortar, though the physical transformation of CNU has been astounding.\nThis is a story about relationships. It's about building a community where people of diverse backgrounds, gifts, and personalities have come together to serve students. It's about fanning not just the flame of intellectual curiosity and academic excellence, but creating an environment of mutual respect and kindness, educating both minds and hearts. It's about the fact that life is not just about personal success and advancement, but serving and helping one's fellow human beings. It's about--as Paul Trible said from the beginning--equipping young people to dream big dreams, and to live a life of significance and real satisfaction. And it's about a community made up of people with humor, grit, innovation, expertise, mutual respect, and love. People who were all just crazy enough to go beyond the norm, and make great things happen.

As a hippie and drug user who had grown-up in a dysfunctional family, Greg Laurie knew what it was to be lost. A seventeen-year-old, long-haired Greg soon discovered his passion for seeing people rescued from hopelessness and transformed into renewed beings with a saving faith in Christ. Laurie quickly became a wonder and an example as to how God could use someone with a sordid past to impact the world with the gospel. Throughout Gregs autobiography, be encouraged by the trials he overcame and the far-reaching impact these lessons have had. The Lords influence in Gregs life has been thoroughly evidenced by the fruit seen from the ministries Greg has planted, watered and grown; namely, Harvest Christian Fellowship (one of the 8 largest churches in America) and the Harvest Crusades. Greg Lauries legacy has been seasoned with trials and questions, but if God can take a hippie from a severely dysfunctional family and raise him to be one of the nations leading evangelists and pastors, what can God do with you
