Only you can choose what's right for you. But it's your responsibility to choose, even if your choice is to defer the decision for a period of time, or to gather more information so that you can choose more wisely. After all, choosing not to choose is a choice, too, you know.

Early church history shows us that in a little more than 300 years, Christianity went from a small band of desperate men to the official religion of the Roman world. How did this happen?

Nine Charles Street: Remembering the Power of the Lord

Larson, Hanne

Grab your prayer journal and start listening to what God wants to say to you today.
What if you could hear from God directly, just as you would from a close friend?
Are you satisfied with a seemingly one-way conversation with God? Do you ever wonder if he really wants to hear from you?
The Art of Listening Prayer is about what it really means to have a personal relationship with God. If God loves his people, maybe it means that he wants to speak one-on-one with us, and if that’s true, shouldn’t our first priority be to learn how to hear from him? 
Explore what it means to experience prayer that really is two-way. Using the Bible as a foundation, you can go way beyond theory and grow in this practice of listening prayer. 
God wants to speak to you, and at the end of this thirty-day devotional, you will not only learn how to draw closer to him, you'll be equipped with a practical process to hear from him on a daily basis.

This mission devotional is an excellent companion for anyone going out as an ambassador of God on any mission trip. Henry Blackaby in his book -Experiencing God- coined a simple but challenging message: Find out where God is at work and join Him there. As opposed to making a ministry plan, and asking God to bless it. Does God still speak to us today? He does, and he uses a variety of means to do so. This mission trip devotional will help you establish a listening ear to your shepherd's voice, and equip you to GO - and join the Father where he is working. 7-7-7 This devotional begins 7 days prior to your trip, and extends 7 days past your mission trip. The purpose of this devotional is not to keep you dependent on it but that, at some point, your conversation with God will begin to flow naturally putting the personal back into your relationship with the Father!!

A Promethean Vision outlines the main intellectual stages in the development of Karl Marx's theory of historical development, often referred to as historical materialism or the materialist conception of history. Rahim charts Marx's journey from his early life as a Young Hegelian immersed in German philosophical traditions through his turn toward political economy, his interest in Adam Smith and finally his maturing into a truly revolutionary thinker and founder of scientific socialism. COMMENTS 'As an account of how Marx came to develop his materialist conception of history I cannot think of a better one [book].' Professor David McLellan 'This is a remarkably clear exposition of Marx's vision of human development. Eric Rahim demonstrates that Marx's materialist understanding of human development bears no relation to the crude deterministic caricatures offered by some of his critics. For Marx, Rahim argues, what each generation inherits from its predecessor contains the potential for further development. Realisation of this potential requires that human beings understand both the possibilities and constraints of their particular conjuncture and act on them. This is not straightforward. Advance is possible but it is not automatic or pre-determined.' Dr. Renee Prendergast 'It is no accident that after the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, Marx's Capital and Keynes's General Theory returned to the bestseller list. Eric Rahim's new volume, A Promethean Vision: Formation of Marx's Worldview is an indispensable complement to a reading or re-reading of Capital. Rahim's volume is an exemplary work of analysis and scholarship. It tells the reader where and what Marx was doing up to the writing of Capital. It sets out the historical and political environment in which Marx found himself, and explains most clearly what his ideas were at each moment of time and how they evolved. The narrative is backed by detailed evidence and accounts of the interactions of Marx with his contemporaries and of their inter-related influence on one another. A striking feature of the volume is Rahim's great ability to set out the essence of Marx's ideas and breakthroughs. Professor GC Harcourt

Some critics and biographers of Dashiell Hammett, author of The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man, claim that evidence of his Marxism can be found in his stories and novels. This new study, by conducting an extensive survey of his short stories (published and unpublished), novels and screen stories, demonstrates that it was only at the end of his writing career that Hammett embraced Marxism, which was—almost literally—a lifesaver for him.
Hardboiled Activist also shows that, rather than being an innocent abroad, duped into following every twist and turn of Communist Party policy, Hammett knew exactly what he was doing, and, by taking a fresh look at the beliefs which others find controversial, Fuller corrects the distortions of some earlier accounts, thus allowing the reader to gain a rounded view of the real Hammett.
The book painstakingly traces Hammett’s political trajectory, from the nihilist who found life meaningless, to the anti-fascist campaigner who championed the cause of the Spanish Republic, to the defender of civil rights who chose to go to prison rather than betray his principles during the McCarthy period.

1000 Days of Revolution contains nine chapters, each one written by a prominent Chilean communist as part of their party's attempt to self-critically analyse the reasons for the defeat of President Salvador Allende's Popular Unity government from 1970-1973. The Chilean experience was a sustained attempt to advance to socialism through a non-armed revolutionary strategy based on a constitutionally elected government. The conclusions reached in this volume reject both these extremes. Specifically, they stress the confirmation of two fundamental insights of Marxism. First, that the left cannot simply take over the existing machinery of government and the state from the existing ruling class and use it for different ends. Second that no successful revolutionary movement can succeed unless it can consolidate and maintain a political majority in society. Key economic changes by Popular Unity, above all the nationalisation of the copper industry, sent shockwaves to Wall Street and the White House, where they feared that the Chilean experiment would be repeated elsewhere unless it was stopped - at any cost. Starting with just 36% of the vote in the 1970 presidential elections, Popular Unity faced constant challenges to create and sustain a political majority and at the same time overcome the resistance from within the army, political elite and big business. It also faced the economic and political sabotage by the United States, leading to the coup on 11 September 1973, that cost Allende and thousands of his supporters their lives.
