What are your values? What impact do they have on your personal growth, your family life, your professional life? 'The Genesis Effect is' a groundbreaking exploration of the relationship between values and growth. Bringing twenty years of research to his subject, Dr. Brian P. Hall shows how human, spiritual, and institutional growth are interconnected and form a dynamic whole. The author explains how values develop when a person's internal images and ideas interact with the external world. The Genesis Effect is the growth that takes place when these values create transformations in ourselves, in others, and in the organizations we belong to.

It is the assertion of Old-Earth Creationism that God created the Earth and then made it into an inhabitable environment over the course of a "week" of epoch-long creation "days." It is the assertion of modern science that the Earth is 4.6 billion years old and has reached such an age by passing through a number of geologic periods that are differentiated by stratigraphic, paleontological, and other empirical markers. Therefore, it seems very logical that if one holds to the veracity of these two basic assertions, then the long "creation days" of Genesis and the geologic ages of modern science can and should be effectively correlated with one another in some cohesive and systematic manner. Here we offer our origins correlation model, The Genesis Column, which does just that.

"This hour, you are evolving into the 'greater you.' which means, you are awakening to the great, powerful, loving, valuable 'you' that Christ paid on the cross for you to be." Everything in creation, including you, had a beginning. What does it look like when you are reborn? What does it mean when you are moving from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light? What does it mean to move from darkness, ignorance and limitation into light, understanding and limitlessness? How can we can pierce the darkness and make the unseen become seen?

Over the past few decades states all around the globe have intensified institutionalized cooperation at the regional level. To deepen our understanding of state-led regionalism, the authors use an analytical framework comprising four main strands. First, they describe and explain the genesis and growth of regional organizations. Second, they account for institutional design, looking at important similarities and differences. Third, they examine the interaction between organizations and member states in an attempt to reveal factors that shape the level of commitment to and compliance with regional initiatives. Finally, they consider the impact of regional organizations on their member states. They conclude by providing a foundation for future research on the dynamic development of regionalism.

Suppose the foundational principle of the Judeo-Christian world had been lost thousands of years ago. How would we know it? We wouldn't-until it was rediscovered. Richard L. Haight, three-time award-winning author, has uncovered and decoded an ancient principle that has lain dormant, hidden for thousands of years within Genesis, the first book of The Holy Bible. When decoded, Genesis reveals a mystical yet surprisingly practical approach to human experience that leads to profound inner freedom. Haight believes it is the lost truth of Jesus some 2,000 years ago when he said, "Know the truth and the truth will set you free." But actualizing freedom takes more than just knowledge. Freedom of any kind requires commitment and follow-through. Considering how busy we are in the modern world, our time is precious. With that time-saving aim in mind, first make sure The Genesis Code aligns with your objectives. Do you desire freedom from compulsive self-absorption, arrogance, resentment, and condemnation? Do you seek liberation from the seemingly endless cycles of blame, shame, and guilt? Do you want to be free from unhelpful thoughts and beliefs and the torments of anxiety and emotional depression―regret of your past and fear of your future? Do you want freedom from that which misleads your mind and emotions? Do you want to be fully You in all aspects of your life? If you want to know the truth that sets you free, then The Genesis Code might be for you. Open your eyes to see that which once seen can never be unseen. Open to the true nature of the Universe, the earth, and the human being. Open to the true You.

Intended to create life from nothingness, the Genesis Device became instead a weapon of awe-inspiring destructiveness, capable of rearranging matter and life energy on a planetary scale. After the cataclysmic death of the Genesis Planet, Starfleet wisely decided to destroy all data and records on Project Genesis, hoping to bury its deadly secret forever. Now, nearly a century later, all that remains of Genesis is the knowledge stored in the mind of an elderly, almost forgotten scientist named Dr Carol Marcus. But Dr Marcus has gone missing, and a mysterious wave of energy is sweeping across the Alpha Quadrant at terrfying speed, wiping out the populations of entire planets, rearranging matter on a molecular level to create bizarre new landscapes and lifeforms. The USS Enterprise, commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard, is the first Starfleet vessel to discover the threat, but they are not the only ones in danger. Trillions of souls and hundreds of inhabited planets lie in the path of the mutagenic wave, which is expanding outwards as it traverses the cosmos, and Earth itself faces total obliteration!

The remarkable symposium arranged by Bruce L. Welch and Annemarie S. Welch for the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston, Massachusetts at the end of the year 1969 was devoted to the physiological effects of audible sound. Dr. Welch and his wife were able to bring together a distinguished group of scientists from all parts of the world. It was very remarkable to be able to discuss the physiological aspects of noise with representative scientists from Israel, France, Germany, Hungary, Russia, Australia, Canada and Argentina. Dr. and Mrs. Welch ran the meeting in a delightful manner and continued to maintain interest and enthusiasm. Now the results of the conference are available. It is to be hoped that this volume will find wide interest and attention. We must differentiate noise from sound. Noise is unpleasant, unwanted or intolerable sound. On the other hand, even ordinary sound may at times be unpleasant, simply because we are not con ditioned to it. The general impression that one gets from reading the various reports on the physiological effects of noise is bad. It's a pollutant that we can each individually reduce, and maybe we can have a great enough effect socially so that we can significantly lower the noise levels which may result in considerable harm to us. It is interesting that noise as a pollutant has only recently attracted attention.

The Abolition of Man, C. S. Lewis's masterpiece in ethics and the philosophy of science, warns of the danger of combining modern moral skepticism with the technological pursuit of human desires. The end result is the final destruction of human nature. From Brave New World to Star Trek, from steampunk to starships, science fiction film has considered from nearly every conceivable angle the same nexus of morality, technology, and humanity of which C. S. Lewis wrote. As a result, science fiction film has unintentionally given us stunning depictions of Lewis's terrifying vision of the future. In Science Fiction Film and the Abolition of Man, scholars of religion, philosophy, literature, and film explore the connections between sci-fi film and the three parts of Lewis's book: how sci-fi portrays "Men without Chests" incapable of responding properly to moral good, how it teaches the Tao or "The Way," and how it portrays "The Abolition of Man."

What's Christian about Star Trek? Nothing. That's the way most people see it and that certainly seems to be the way the franchise is intended. There's no question that the Trek universe is based on a doggedly humanistic world view and is set in a future time when religion has essentially vanished from Earth. If that's the case, how can there even be a "gospel according to Star Trek" In The Gospel According to Star Trek: The Original Crew, you'll discover how the continuing voyages of Kirk and company aboard the Enterprise--from the original series to the Abramsverse--tell us more about our human quest for God than you ever imagined. You'll learn how Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's own spiritual quest informed the franchise, what he and the series really have to say about God and religion, and the amazing image of Christ contained in Star Trek's most popular character. You'll also see how Star Trek can help us recover a deeper, more fully human gospel that embraces our humanity instead of denigrating it and echoes the call of both Spock and Christ: "Live long and prosper!" (John 10:10).
