Book Description
The U.S. Supreme Court is a public policy battleground in which organized interests attempt to etch their economic, legal, and political preferences into law through the filing of amicus curiae ("friend of the court") briefs. In Friends of the Supreme Court: Interest Groups and Judicial Decision Making, Paul M. Collins, Jr. explores how organized interests influence the justices' decision making, including how the justices vote and whether they choose to author concurrences and dissents. Collins presents theories of judicial choice derived from disciplines as diverse as law, marketing, political science, and social psychology. This theoretically rich and empirically rigorous treatment of decision-making on the nation's highest court, which represents the most comprehensive examination ever undertaken of the influence of U.S. Supreme Court amicus briefs, provides clear evidence that interest groups play a significant role in shaping the justices' choices.

Believe in the Supreme Creator
Author: Dr. Kalu Ndukwe Nchege
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1452599106
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
Believe in the Supreme Creator is a book about hope, trust, and belief in God. It follows the life of Dinah and her relationship with Kalson. They are faced with disappointments, betrayal, and challenges. They learn to submit to God and walk with Him in faith. Dr. Nchege weaves a story about God and religion using biblical references and African idioms to demonstrate the power of belief and faith. This is an inspiring and enjoyable book by my old friend from my Nigeria days, Dr. Kalu Nchege. I am amazed and thrilled by the way he has been able to show that in all circumstances there is a Scriptural admonition or promise, if when trusted in, brings answers and blessings and a resolution to the situation. Here is hope, encouragement, and instruction for any reader who really wants to know the Supreme Creator who is revealed in the Holy Scriptures Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Rev. Z. D. Reece Through this narrative, Dr. Nchege is able to depict the need for each of us to believe in the Supreme Creator. Only one who has gotten to know how gracious and merciful God is could have delivered a piece of literature like this. Such a remarkable way to let the world know regardless of nationality, ethnic origin, or religious denomination style of worshipping, God loves each of us unconditionally and we must love Him back and be born of the Spirit of God.

Elevation to Krsna Consciousness
Author: His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Publisher: The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust International, Inc.
ISBN: 9171498583
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 77
Book Description
The quality of our consciousness can go up or down based on how we see the world and act in it. When we act like the eternal spiritual beings that we are – small parts of a supreme whole – makes us happy. But if we focus our attempts at happiness on the temporary body and mind – on matter – and make those our life's priority, our consciousness will shrink and we’ll be miserable. Spiritual elevation – raising our consciousness to higher levels – happens quickly when we revive our God consciousness. In this compact book, Srila Prabhupada recommends seeing the world as it is – a temporary place full of anxiety – and then taking the road to higher consciousness by rediscovering our relationship with the Supreme Person, Krishna. Anyone can become elevated; the journey begins with a single step up.
