Disturbing Insights About Humanity
Are you and I any different from Heinrich Himmler or Adolph Eichmann? Of course, we want to believe that we are made from entirely different clay than those evil monsters, but reading Stanley Milgram's book, _Obedience To Authority_, will make you wonder. The book describes an experiment that was conducted in the 1960s by Yale University psychology professor Stanley Milgram. Milgram placed ...

If you are only going to get a single book, get this one...
The Authority of the Believer This book was referenced in Ken Hagin's book, "The Believers Authority". While Ken's book is a great read, this book goes into more depth on demonic influences and forces in our lives. Using this book and the Word, you can combat the evil one with the utmost confidence and authority. The Church has given up a lot of authority to the devil. I have often asked ...
The Authority Book 2: Under New Management

Sometimes you just need to punch someone in the face.
"Volume 1: Relentless" When Grant Morrison and Howard Porter relaunched DC Comics' "Justice League" title in the mid-90s, they envisioned it as a non-stop action story pitting DC's biggest guns against the vast array of inventive threats that sprang forth from Grant Morrison's demented mind. The result was very popular, though I'm rather ambivalent on how well most of it was conveyed; ...

Challenged what I Thought
Authority.... I used to view that word with a lot more suspicion than I do now. For myself, it used to be important for me to "respect" the person in authority over me. The idea of submitting myself to the authority of anything ran contrary to my independent streak. It had to be my idea. Anyone in authority over me had to "earn" my respect. This book completely challenged these notions ...

a readable project management book?
While I have a few project management reference books, it's rare to find a book on the topic that you can actually enjoy reading from cover to cover. Results Without Authority covers a lot of ground, and there's something for every level of project manager. The book would serve well as a guideline for someone leading a new project management organization, or for someone who's been in the ...

Balanced, highly-insightful, biblical view on spiritual warfare
"I Give You Authority" is essentially a book about spiritual warfare. It is excellent across many facets. One is its balanced, biblical approach. But what stands out above all else is Dr. Kraft's ability to anticipate questions in the mind of the reader and to address them. As an example, oftentimes, when one reads about spiritual warfare, at some point, one thinks: "This is too scary. Do I want ...

A GREAT GUIDE TO THE ART OF INFLUENCING OTHERS.
This book is important because it's message-to succeed you must learn to influence others-is right on target. The authors assert that nobody "ever had enough authority (to get their work done)." But it is possible to have enough influence to make things happen, and this book's purpose is to tell you how! It shows that the key to influence is reciprocity, which is defined in many and subtle ways. ...
The Structure of Biblical Authority
2 reviews
Meredith G. Kline
Wipf & Stock Publishers
, 1997
Unbelievably fresh insight into the Scriptures.
I read this book in 1999, and it was the best book I read that year. Kline shows the covenant structure of the Mosaic books. His contribution to the structure of cannon can not be ignored; the structure of the Torah can not be divorced from its content. One quick insight I learned from this book: The 10 Commandments were treaty documents. There were two tables because there were two copies, one ...
By What Authority?: An Evangelical Discovers Catholic Tradition
36 reviews
Mark P. Shea
Our Sunday Visitor
, 1996
Why do you believe the bible, anyway?
This book in defense of the role of true Christian authority is in my mind one of the best out there. Starting with a very clear and sympathetic synopsis of the evangelical/ fundamentalist (and, alas, modern Lutheran) approach to the authority of the bible, Shea masterfully demonstrates why that bucket just doesn't hold water. And this is based upon his own spiritual journey, which adds to its ...

Bumpercrop of Refusal
Too often, discussion about the viability of change sprouting from the electoral system is shrunk to fit bumperstickers. Even harder to find is nuanced analysis when the politics of protest--direct action, and mob action become the issue of the day. Challenging Authority: How Ordinary People Change America by Francis Fox Piven offers readers a history lesson of the ways in which progressive ...

A hard headed christian in Atlanta
This book is excellent. It is just what I needed. It has made me rethink many things, from how I talk about my President and other elected officials to the way I act toward my church, to the way I drive. Submission is the key to a full christian life and it permeates all areas. Mr. Nee shows that in a great, effective way. This book is best read with it in one hand and with a Bible in the ...

Truth In Advertising...They Are "The Authority"
What can I say about this book? I think that it's great to see super-heroes buck the "status-quo" and that The Authority are like no other super-heroes out there. Also, I like how The Authority solved problems with methods that no other super-hero would even consider and that they would take risks that no one else would. I think that the story and art are excellent, the fight scenes are among the ...
Biblical Authority or Biblical Tyranny?: Scripture and the Christian Pilgrimage
7 reviews
L. William Countryman
Trinity Press International
, 1994
Small in Quantity, Big in Quality
Though this book is only 125 pages long, it carries a wealth of valuable insights and stimulating thoughts. Countryman has done a very good job of countering the extreme biblical literalist camp without throwing out the Bible. Often it's tempting to throw the baby out with the bath water (as the saying goes), but Countryman shows how the Bibles value is not diminished just because some modern ...

Fred, B. Craddock

As One Who Changed The Face of Preaching
Fred B. Craddock is one consumate preacher of the Gospel and one committed student of the Gospels. Whenever one of his students in the quarterly Monday Morning class at the Cherrylog Christian Church asks about his style, Dr. Craddock says, "I am known as a narrative preacher, but that's not the whole story..." He often follows that with his own definition of "narrative preacher." For every ...
The UN Security Council and the Politics of International Authority
Bruce Cronin

Ian Hurd
Routledge
, 2008
This book observes how the growth of the political authority of the Council challenges the basic idea that states have legal autonomy over their domestic affairs. The individual essays survey the implications that flow from these developments in the crucial policy areas of: terrorism; economic sanctions; the prosecution of war crimes; human rights; humanitarian intervention; and, the use of force. In each of these areas, the evidence shows a ...

An ambitious undertaking
Famous Chicago sociologist, Saskia Sassen, returns with an ambitious new book on cities as the main locus of globalization. Despite being quite long (almost 500 pages!), it's quite an engaging reading. For someone interested in expanding his/her knowledge on the various facets of the process of globalization, including its economic, political and cultural dimensions, this volume is a must. In ...
