To this day I've tried to be like my Mother. Living right, helping others, giving to others. And most of all, trusting in the Lord. Living for Him like Mother did everyday. You see, ever since Mother died and I grew up to be a young man and my mother has been on my mind and heart ever since that day and year, I've always prayed for a good woman like my mother. I'm hoping that one day the Lord will bless me with a good, loving wife like my mother. One who would love the Lord with her whole heart, as Mother did. Our mother and father were the greatest love from God that my brothers and sisters and I knew of. Even though it was only for a short time that we had them both, it still was a blessing from God to us all. And we thanked God for them both. You see, their days and nights became short. Even the short years of our loving mother and father, of their time. Their days and nights and years became the greatest days and nights and years of our lives, forever. Mother and Father, wherever you both are now, rest in peace of all of our God.

Journalist Willie Morton unravels a thirty-year old conspiracy over the 1985 death of Treasury mandarin Matthew McConnacher nineteen days after his report, claiming an independent Scotland could be economically viable, was classified. Intrigued by the state's reluctance to declassify the report, he probes the mystery of McConnacher's death and learns of a power-grab at the heart of the Cameron government led by Commander Neil Smyth, chair of the National Security Committee - whom Morton has reason to fear - and a secret military deal with hardliners in Spain to crush Catalan nationalists. With his intern Ysabet Santanac arrested in Barcelona, Morton is high on the hit list as deadly forces unleashed by London and Madrid converge to bury an inconvenient truth.

"God has repeatedly told us to fill the earth . . . The people of God have constantly gotten stuck, settled, and soft, and He has had to shake us out of this state. My prayer is that we will be the first generation to scatter on purpose . . . That we will go into every sector of society--business, arts, education, and more--and be the Daniels of our day: being good at what we do, gaining favor in our workplace, and having the credibility and freedom to share our faith boldly."--Andrew Scott

Now on sale!The fascinating stories behind BC's name origins.

Understanding globalization is key for the future of development. Increasingly globalized patterns of economic exchange and political interaction shape the possibility of reforms to benefit the poor. There is an urgent need to assess what challenges this new context poses for development. In particular, what are the challenges to the objective of poverty reduction implied by globalization? The aim of this book is to take a critical look at the trends associated with globalization and assess what they mean for traditional practices of development. Going beyond attempts to quantify the pros and cons of globalization and the ideological tenor of much of the polemical debate, the approach is to focus on the actors, institutions and processes by which the relationship between globalization and poverty is mediated. This is important for understanding who the winners and losers from globalization are likely to be, given the current political and economic constraints under which practitioners operate. Such an approach helps to clarify the sense of the obstacles and opportunities that will shape any attempt to promote poverty elimination in a context of globalization. The book explores how the relationship between globalization and poverty is handled by institutions and actors that govern social and economic interactions at every level of society. The focus is on the consequences of globalization, the actors, institutions and movements that are operating in the new global political space, and on the strategies that are being developed to contest the impact of globalization on people''s lives. The chapters examine three broad areas: production and exchange in the context of small scale producers; changing gender relations and feminist movements; and the environmental consequences of globalization and the movements that have emerged to challenge these. This reflects the editors'' concern with the consequences of globalization as well as the politics of resistance to its negative outcomes.
