Book Description
"A riveting narrative of the Atomic Age--from X-rays and Marie Curie to the Nevada Test Site and the 2011 meltdown in Japan--written by the prizewinning and bestselling author of Rocket Men. Radiation is a complex and paradoxical concept: staggering amounts of energy flow from seemingly inert rock and that energy is both useful and dangerous. While nuclear energy affects our everyday lives--from nuclear medicine and food irradiation to microwave technology--its invisible rays trigger biological damage, birth defects, and cellular mayhem. Written with a biographer's passion, Craig Nelson unlocks one of the great mysteries of the universe in a work that is both tragic and triumphant. From the end of the nineteenth century through the use of the atomic bomb in World War II to the twenty-first century's confrontation with the dangers of nuclear power, Nelson illuminates a pageant of fascinating historical figures: Enrico Fermi, Marie and Pierre Curie, Albert Einstein, FDR, Robert Oppenheimer, and Ronald Reagan, among others. He reveals many little-known details, including how Jewish refugees fleeing Hitler transformed America from a country that created light bulbs and telephones into one that split atoms; how the most grotesque weapon ever invented could realize Alfred Nobel's lifelong dream of global peace; how emergency workers and low-level utility employees fought to contain a run-amok nuclear reactor, while wondering if they would live or die. Brilliantly fascinating and remarkably accessible, The Age of Radiance traces mankind's complicated and difficult relationship with the dangerous power it discovered and made part of civilization."--Publisher information.

Book Description
"David Bentley Hart undertook this new translation of the New Testament etsi doctrina non daretur, "as if doctrine is not given." Reproducing the texts' often fragmentary formulations without augmentation or correction, he has produced an often pitilessly literal translation of the early Christians' sometimes raw, astonished, and halting prose, one that captures the texts' frequent impenetrability and unfinished quality while awakening readers to an uncanniness that often lies hidden beneath doctrinal layers. This rendering also challenges the idea that the New Testament affirms the kind of people we are. Hart reminds us that the first Christians were a company of extremists, radical in their rejection of the values and priorities of society not only at its most degenerate, but often at its most reasonable and decent. "To live as the New Testament language requires," he writes, "Christians would have to become strangers and sojourners on the earth, to have here no enduring city, to belong to a Kingdom truly not of this world. And we surely cannot do that, can we?""--Jacket flap.

Book Description
This book is two thousand years overdue in its telling. Since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, God declared a state of war between Satan and the woman and her offspring, therefore, Satan hates women with every fiber of his being (Gen. 3:14, 15, MSG). Since time immemorial, Satan has worked relentlessly to try and steal, kill, and destroy women, trying to steal our knowledge of who we are in Christ Jesus, trying to beat us down and kill us with abuse, and trying to steal from us our dignity, our value, our worth, our identity, and ultimately, our joy (1 Pet. 5:8). For too long, Satan has kept us deceived, demeaned, and defeated, but Jeremiah declares, "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know" (Jer. 33:3). Through Jesus's glorious gospel of grace, God is lifting the veil of darkness that has kept Christians blinded to the truth of who women are in Christ and all that is ours as heirs to His throne of grace. A grace revolution is sweeping our planet, and part of that is the unveiling of women's identity in the Godhead and all that we are in Christ Jesus. Two thousand years ago, at the cross of Calvary, God returned to man His glory, and this book unveils all that that means to us as daughters of the Most High, and it reveals the fullness of who we are as His comforters, helpers, and beautiful shekinahs.
