From 2002 to 2008, the Bush administration argued that Iran was developing nuclear weapons, despite years of inconclusive International Atomic Energy Agency inspection reports. In the absence of substantive evidence, much of the debate was conducted via public forums with a heavy persuasive element to the discourse. This book offers an in-depth consideration of the rhetoric surrounding Irans controversial nuclear programme. It takes an interdisciplinary approach, examining speeches, interviews, news reports, online message boards and newspaper layouts during the Bush Presidency (2000-2008). Engaging with visual grammar and narrative, the book looks at layouts from the Associated Press, The New York Times and The Washington Post, amongst others. The book points out, using rhetorical theory and discourse analysis, the conditions that lent credibility to the Bush administrations position by examining the arguments Bush and his political surrogates put forward, and the discourse strategies that influenced which ideas gained salience and which were downplayed. Political communication and Foucaults theory of governmentality are brought in to articulate the implications regarding the influence, importance and expansion of executive power.

After the unexpected, accidental death of his three-year-old son, Jason Jones went on a long, painful journey to make sense of how God could have let this happen to his son and best friend, Jacob, and to their family. And he struggled intensely with his faith after everything he thought about God disintegrated on June 12, 2011. In Limping But Blessed, Jones explores struggling with faith and belief, dealing with his depression and grief, and searching for hope in a hopeless situation. The book includes tales of his darkest days, correspondence he had with Christian theologians, and what heÕs done to preserve his sonÕs legacy. At some point in each of our lives, something goes terribly wrong, and our faith is shaken to the core. This book is the story of one manÕs journey through the darkest time of life searching for answers and a grueling attempt to find a sliver of hope to keep holding on.Ê

This message is one of revelation, not one of judgmental demands. It is one that has been lost on the hearts of God''s church. Not in the sense of the "Christian Church" but in the broader sense of "God''s Church". God''s Church is the entire created world around us, every corner dark or lit. Everyone saved or unsaved, Jew or Gentile. This message of revelation is meant to be a benefit to all people seeking to be prosperous in their life, in love or fellowship. This is Christ''s message of example to His brother and sisters.

"With apologies to Colonel Jeff Cooper, My Hundred Guns might be the best writing about the philosophy and history of military firearms on the planet." – Benjamin Whitmer, author of Pike and Cry Father In My Hundred Guns, Jason Jones takes us on a personal journey through the world of firearms, concentrating on the classic era of military and civilian rifles, shotguns, and handguns. With his own rich collection as a touchstone (spoiler: it’s more like 150 guns), Jones explores the history and evolution of modern firearms, and the pleasures of owning, restoring, maintaining, and recreationally shooting them. Mauser, Lee-Enfield, Colt, Browning, Garand, Tokarev, Mannlicher, Schmidt-Rubin, Carcano, Savage, Glock, Kel-Tec … the major names and designs are touched on in this witty, well-informed, somewhat off-kilter pilgrimage. Jones also examines the guiding ideals of gun design and manufacture; the “Zen of firearms” and their maintenance; “gun guys & gals”; guns as pop-culture icons; and contemporary gun-control debates. Illustrated with over 100 images, My Hundred Guns features a wide range of resources, from books and quotes about firearms, to today’s online communities of gun aficionados. Links throughout take readers to online videos from “Lyudmila & Vasily’s Shooting Adventures,” wherein the author and his range companion, Sherry, shoot the classics for your viewing pleasure. My Hundred Guns is a unique, colorful, and entertaining account of the world of modern firearms, and one person’s (peaceful) obsession with them. Jason Jones is a writer, educator, and photographer based in western Canada.

Bestselling author, human rights activist, political scientist, and filmmaker Jason Jones draws from his heart-pounding, boots-on-the-ground stories in war-torn countries and leaves no stone unturned in exposing the real narrative of our time that the media often ignores. Revealing the raw, true story about what caused him to become pro-life and dedicate his life to the defense of human dignity globally by founding the Vulnerable People Project, Jones pulls no punches in challenging the status quo of organizations such as NATO and bringing to light inconvenient truths about religious persecution and propaganda. He lays out a path to beauty and virtue through references to popular culture and spells out ways we can and must beat back the Culture of Death by revealing: Four victory lessons to learn from winning political movements Nine incisive answers to tough questions about what pro-lifers really want How to evaluate the "seamless garment" argument What the real strength of the pro-life movement is and why Four fundamental axioms we need to accept for human rights and lasting peace Six ideals that governed American policy for most of its history (Do you know them?) In these gripping, potent reflections and accounts, Jones underscores the effect of the destruction of human life across the globe. You will be shocked by the apathy of many in power and the number of lies you''ve been fed. Jones incisively reflects on just-war theory and wars and conflicts past and present -- in the Middle East, Ukraine, China, India, Sudan, Nigeria, and other areas -- offering practical steps to be taken for the disarmament of nations. He further evaluates how to restore order in the immigration debacle, live out our care for the poor, promote God''s plan for love and marriage, and navigate the fallout following the Covid lockdown. Above all, these power-packed pages will remind you what happens when we separate ourselves from the Cross and, on the flip side, how our uniformity with God''s will helps transform hearts and revolutionize the world.

Most leadership models were built for a slower, more predictable world. But the pace today is relentless. AI is reshaping work daily. Workforces are fragmenting across remote, hybrid, and global teams. Decisions now land faster than ever, with less information and higher stakes. The result is a generation of capable leaders who feel reactive, rigid, or quietly burned out, not from lack of experience or effort, but because their brains were never trained for this level of complexity. They are working harder than ever, yet much of that effort goes toward managing internal pressure rather than leading strategically. NeuroAdaptive Leadership offers a different way forward. It addresses the internal work of leadership that the vast majority of leadership books miss, because effective leadership starts within. Your thinking and emotion are the driving force behind every action you take, every decision you make, and every culture you shape. Yet most leaders have never taken the time to understand what is actually driving their thinking, behavior, and performance under pressure. That is where the real upgrade happens. Dr. Jason Jones shows you how to upgrade the operating system behind them: your brain. Grounded in neuroscience and performance psychology, this book introduces the A.D.A.P.T. model, a practical framework for sensing change sooner, rewiring outdated thought patterns, regulating your nervous system in volatility, and building adaptive capacity that holds up when everything around you is shifting. You will also gain access to the NeuroAdaptive Leader Index, an assessment that gives you a snapshot of how your brain currently performs under pressure and where to focus your growth. This is not a book about doing more. It is a book about becoming more adaptive at the neural level, so you can recover faster, think more clearly when the stakes are highest, and choose your response instead of letting stress choose it for you. Read this book and you will learn how to adapt faster than the disruption around you, and lead with the clarity and focus needed to cut through complexity instead of getting stuck in it.
