Hardback. Zustand: Good. A profoundly original vision of an attainable future that ensures human prosperity by safeguarding our threatened planet "If you have time to read one book on this subject, I highly recommend the new Big World, Small Planet, by Johan Rockstrom, director of the Stockholm Resilience Center, and Mattias Klum, whose stunning photographs of ecosystem disruptions reinforce the urgency of the moment."?Thomas L. Friedman, New York Times Big World, Small Planet probes the urgent predicament of our times: how is it possible to create a positive future for both humanity and Earth? We have entered the Anthropocene?the era of massive human impacts on the planet?and the actions of over seven billion residents threaten to destabilize Earth?s natural systems, with cascading consequences for human societies. In this extraordinary book, the authors combine the latest science with compelling storytelling and amazing photography to create a new narrative for humanity?s future. Johan Rockström and Mattias Klum reject the notion that economic growth and human prosperity can only be achieved at the expense of the environment. They contend that we have unprecedented opportunities to navigate a ?good Anthropocene.? By embracing a deep mind-shift, humanity can reconnect to Earth, discover universal values, and take on the essential role of planetary steward. With eloquence and profound optimism, Rockström and Klum envision a future of abundance within planetary boundaries?a revolutionary future that is at once necessary, possible, and sustainable for coming generations.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Often, we look to a huge mega-church in one of the metropolitan areas to find the formula for growth and success. But God is not limited to such places. In fact, there are great treasures to be found in other places-remote, obscure, rural places-where the great God of the universe is just as apt to do great and mighty things. One of the lies that Satan tells pastors is that they cannot accomplish great things in a small area, but that they must move on to some large metropolitan area to fulfill their ministry. Pastor Virgil Amundson's book, Called to be Faithful, thoroughly debunks that myth. Shell Lake Full Gospel Church began in 1969 as a Pentecostal congregation of about a dozen people in a town with a population of under 1,000. Today it is touching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This small-town church has become a powerful lighthouse to northwest Wisconsin and the world and now supports over 60 missionaries and has given as much as a half a million dollars to missions in one year. Called to be Faithful is an absorbing story of the highs and the lows of growing a great church in a small community. Pastor Amundson will be the first to tell you that what has been accomplished is only because of the grace of God, but there are valuable lessons to be learned here about cooperating with God's grace and being flexible enough to flow with what God is doing in the various seasons of life and ministry. Enjoy this collection of a lifetime of memories from a man who has personally experienced the grace of God in the building of a great local church for God.…

Experience the uplifting, "unforgettable" New York Times bestseller about an abandoned kitten named Dewey, whose life in a library won over a farming town and the world -- with over 2 million copies sold! (Booklist) Dewey's story starts in the worst possible way. On the coldest night of the year in Spencer, Iowa, at only a few weeks old--a critical age for kittens--he was stuffed into the return book slot of the Spencer Public Library. He was found the next morning by library director Vicki Myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. Dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in a gesture of thanks and love. For the next nineteen years, he never stopped charming the people of Spencer with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility (for a cat), and, above all, his sixth sense about who needed him most. As his fame grew from town to town, then state to state and finally, amazingly, worldwide, Dewey became more than just a friend; he became a source of pride for an extraordinary Heartland farming community slowly working its way back from the greatest crisis in its long history.…
