Digital Goddess: The Unfiltered Lessons of a Female Entrepreneur
by Victoria R. Montgomery BrownWith women leading only twenty-four Fortune 500 companies, female founders receiving only 2.2 percent of US venture capital, and the continued presence of sexual harassment and double standards, the gender gap continues to hinder the advancement of women in the professional world. In Digital Goddess, Montgomery-Brown—founder of Big Think, a collection of experts across all fields and disciplines that are either at the top of their field or disrupting it, shares her story in an entertaining and educational light. Told from the unique, female entrepreneurial perspective that unpacks all the hurdles other female founders may face in their own journey to the top, Montgomery-Brown shares the real-world lessons she’s learned along the way, such as: Never lie to your investors, even when you just got arrested. Raising money is a poker game—learn how to play. The power and money still lie with men. Pretending it’s not that way, or being angry about it, won’t lead to success. Your relationship with your co-founder is like a second marriage, so forget about keeping the personal out of the workplace. The more authentic you are, and the more fun you have, the better your experience will be. This book is about dealing with the way things are, even when you don’t like it, and being yourself, even when it seems like a drawback. It’s about sucking it up, making the hard choices, and dealing with the consequences. It’s about being honest no matter what is going down. Victoria’s been called “the anti-Elizabeth Holmes,” for a good reason—unlike the ill-fated Theranos CEO, she&s transparent with her investors even when she fears they will walk away. Digital Goddess is a story for entrepreneurial women at any stage of life who want to know what it actually takes to build a business in a world that’s not always fair, predictable, or politically correct
Dios en el banquillo: Ensayos sobre teología y ética
by C. S. LewisUn libro valiente, sutil y agudo sobre los milagros, la relación entre la ciencia y la fe, la redención o el destino final del hombre."Lewis me pareció el hombre más completamente convertido que he conocido", observa Walter Hooper en el prefacio de esta colección de ensayos de C. S. Lewis.&“Toda su visión de la vida era tal que lo natural y lo sobrenatural parecían inseparablemente combinados&”. Es precisamente este cristianismo omnipresente el que se demuestra en los cuarenta y ocho ensayos que componen Dios en el banquillo. Aquí Lewis se dirige tanto a cuestiones teológicas como a las que Hooper denomina "semiteológicas" o éticas. Pero ya sea que esté discutiendo El mal y Dios, Milagros, La decadencia de la religión o La teoría humanitaria del castigo, su visión y observaciones son total y profundamente cristianas.Extraídos de una variedad de fuentes, los ensayos fueron diseñados para satisfacer una variedad de necesidades y, entre otros logros, sirven para ilustrar los muchos ángulos diferentes desde los cuales podemos ver la religión cristiana. Van desde piezas relativamente populares escritas para periódicos hasta defensas más eruditas de la fe que aparecieron por primera vez en The Socratic Digest. Caracterizados por la honestidad y el realismo de Lewis, su perspicacia y convicción y, sobre todo, su total compromiso con el cristianismo, estos ensayos hacen de Dios en el banquillo un libro muy adecuado para nuestro tiempo.God in the DockA brave, subtle, and sharp book about miracles, the science-faith relationship, redemption or man&’s final destiny&”Lewis struck me as the most thoroughly converted man I ever met&”, observes Walter Hooper in the preface to this collection of essays by C. S. Lewis.&“His whole vision of life was such that the natural and the supernatural seemed inseparably combined.&” It is precisely this pervasive Christianity which is demonstrated in the forty-eight essays comprising God in the Dock. Here Lewis addresses himself both to theological questions and to those which Hooper terms &“semi-theological,&” or ethical. But whether he is discussing &“Evil and God,&” &“Miracles,&” &“The Decline of Religion,&” or &“The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment,&” his insight and observations are thoroughly and profoundly Christian.Drawn from a variety of sources, the essays were designed to meet a variety of needs, and among other accomplishments they serve to illustrate the many different angles from which we can view the Christian religion. They range from relatively popular pieces written for newspapers to more learned defenses of the faith which first appeared in The Socratic Digest. Characterized by Lewis&’s honesty and realism, his insight and conviction, and above all his thoroughgoing commitments to Christianity, these essays make God in the Dock very much a book for our time.

by Philip YanceyIs God Unfair? Is God Silent? Is God Hidden? These questions are asked with piercing honesty and biblical certainty.

Disappointment with God: Three Questions No One Asks Aloud
by Philip YanceyPhilip Yancey has a gift for articulating the knotty issues of faith. In this 25th Anniversary edition of Disappointment with God, Yancey poses three questions that Christians wonder but seldom ask aloud: Is God unfair? Is he silent? Is he hidden? This insightful and deeply personal book points to the odd disparity between our concept of God and the realities of life. Why, if God is so hungry for relationship with us, does he seem so distant? Why, if he cares for us, do bad things happen? What can we expect from him after all? Yancey answers these questions with clarity, richness, and biblical assurance. He takes us beyond the things that make for disillusionment to a deeper faith, a certitude of God's love, and a thirst to reach not just for what God gives, but for who he is. Included in this anniversary edition is a study guide with questions about these perplexing questions of faith that the author confronts.

Divine Beauty Divine Glory: Knowing WHO God is and not just what He DOES
by Alison M. Downs“The Beauty and the Glory of the Divine” by Alison M. Down is an astute look at the Exodus story that focuses on one Figure that too often remains hidden behind a monumental figure of Moses, and manifold events of the book–on God, the Leader of the Exodus. As we live in an efficiency driven society, we tend to look at actions and results as the highest priority. While the book of Exodus is indeed packed with actions, and as it results in a radical change in history, many Christians tend to overlook the main purpose of the book of Exodus. The main purpose of this, and of every other book of the Holy Scripture, and of the Word Incarnate is to reveal God the Father. Alison in her dynamic study has grabbed the very nerve of the Exodus narrative: the revelation of the Divine Holiness and other attributes and characteristics of God to sinful humankind.As this emphasis is lost–and, unfortunately, it’s been lost in too many publications–the main purpose of the book of Exodus remains only as a potential. On the other hand, Alison helps a reader to refocus from a traditional study of peoples and events of Exodus, to the God of Exodus. The study is carefully organized after the events of the Exodus, yet with each chapter, with each page we come closer not just to the Promised Land, but we come to better understand God-the true Leader of the Exodus.As a systematic theologian I see that this book is needed for two main reasons. First, it provides a unique focus of God. Second, “The Beauty and the Glory of the Divine” by Alison M. Down helps Christians to bridge what seems to be a gap between the God of the Old Testament and His Son Jesus Christ. This study is fun to read, as a reader would certainly share in Alison’s excitement over many personal discoveries. The book is also valuable as it provides numerous parallel stories and texts from other books of the Bible. That solidifies this research and makes reading more diverse and interesting. “I would certainly recommend this material to any diligent student of the book of Exodus.” --Dr. Oleg Zhigankov, PhD, Systematic and Historical Biblical Studies; Pastor North Bay and South River Churches, Ontario Conference of Seventh Day Adventists

Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table: It's Time to Win the Battle of Your Mind...
by Louie GiglioLouie Giglio helps you find encouragement, hope, and strength in the midst of any valley as you reject the enemy voices of fear, rage, lust, insecurity, anxiety, despair, temptation, or defeat.Scripture is clear: the Enemy is a liar who will stop at nothing to tempt you into poor decisions and self-defeating mindsets, making you feel afraid, angry, anxious, or defeated. It is all too easy for Satan to weasel his way into a seat at the table intended for only you and your King. But you can fight back.Don&’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table outlines the ways to overcome those lies so you can find peace and security in any challenging circumstance or situation. With the same bold, exciting approach to Scripture as employed in Goliath Must Fall and his other previous works, pastor Louie Giglio examines Psalm 23 in fresh ways, highlighting verse 5: &“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.&”You can find freedom from insecurity, temptation, and defeat—if you allow Jesus, the Shepherd, to lead the battle for your mind and heart. This spiritual warfare book for those who are leery of spiritual warfare books will resonate with Louie&’s core Passion tribe as well as with Christians of all ages who want to live a triumphant life in God.

Don't Look Back: Getting Unstuck and Moving Forward with Passion and Purpose
by Christine CaineMove forward with hope instead of dwelling on the past.There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, especially when unexpected change happens and all we want is for things to go back to how they were. But we can't stop the flow of life, and we can't stop time. And looking back doesn't enable us to go back. It just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit.In Luke 17:32, Jesus drops three little words: "Remember Lot's wife." We don't know her name, history, or story. All we know is that when she was fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah, she was told not to look back, and she did the one thing she was asked not to do. She looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. And out of the 170 women referred to in the Scriptures, she's the only one Jesus told us to remember.With a rallying cry to "Remember Lot's wife," Bible teacher, international speaker, activist, and bestselling author Christine Caine will motivate you to stop looking back, to get unstuck, and to keep moving forward into God's promises and purpose for your life. In Don't Look Back, Christine will help you to:Stop looking back and start looking to JesusInvite Jesus in to help you get unstuck from the places and situations that keep you trappedMove on from where you are into all God's plans, purposes, and promises for your lifeLook forward to the future and keep moving toward it in faith--especially when your world is nothing like it once was Jesus is beckoning us onward into the newness of what lies ahead.
