The question, ''What is God like?'', is always one that will provoke discussion and debate. To get an answer, there are two possible approaches. 1. The best scenario would be for God to tell us what He is like. That would save a lot of conjecture and give us an accurate answer. 2. We could use the evidence we have available to establish that God exists, and then try to ascertain what type of being He is, how He thinks, and how He operates. This second approach has severe limitations as we are restricted by the sum total of human experience (assuming that it has been recorded and retained accurately). Also, our results will be very subjective as we will end up describing God in terms that we have chosen. They may not be accurate. This could ultimately be defined as personal speculation. I suggest that the first approach is available to us in the holy book we call the Bible. We are not left to our own personal speculations about God, for we can learn from the revelation which God has given about Himself in His book. It is, therefore, important for us to consider why we should accept that the Bible is in reality God''s message to the human race, and that it has supernatural authorship. If it is just another ''holy book'' written by men, then it is only another form of speculation. This will be the subject of Chapter 1 which I hope you will read carefully.

What kind of teacher are you? What values, beliefs and principles do successful teachers have and how do they sustain these in the face of challenging pupil behaviour? In this timely book, Stephen Baker contends that rigid punishment systems weaponize young people''s defiance against them and that punishment doesn''t work. He believes that teachers need to take responsibility for behaviour and to lead it, not just ''manage'' it, that we need to love the kids (even if we don''t like them), that children are people, that weare an event in theirlives, and that teaching is a relationship-based activity. With each chapter followed by engaging ''takeaway tasks'', That Behaviour Bookwill allow teachers to rapidly improve both their practice and their relationships with pupils and classes. The book looks at the values that will sustain you as a teacher, how routines will help you teach better and what ''positive expectations'' really mean, making child-centred relational practice easy to apply in the classroom. Teachers will have a more realistic appreciation of their own situation and of the context in which they teach. In short, this book will help teachers learn how to get the very best out of their pupils. That Behaviour Bookis an essential guide for both the beginner and the more experienced teacher. Its unique tone makes it an indispensable companion for the busy teacher, providing a sense of connection, challenge and reassurance all at once. Stephen Baker''s anecdotes, drawn from his years as a pupil, teacher and trainer pack an emotional punch and are often hilarious. Suitable for all teachers.

"A news photographer limps back across the Mexican border. He''s bloodied, his cameras smashed. And he carries a menacing message from a notorious drug lord to one of his colleagues. "Tell Tom Harley he''s dead meat." This death threat transforms a half-hearted reporter into an unlikely hero and kicks off a rollicking cross-border drama. Roaming from a love nest in El Paso''s shadeless barrio to a dusty carwash across the river in Juarez, Harley starts to untangle a story in which he''s a leading actor. But can he tell the truth once he finds it? In Donkey Show, Stephen Baker weaves a tale of deception, dueling ambitions, and international intrigue--most of it taking place within a 10-minute bike ride of the newsroom. Nearly everyone he encounters, it seems, shapes their stories to fit their dreams. But they must survive the madness for those dreams to come true."--Back cover.

Money impacts every single one of us. Some see it as simply a means to an end, others view creating wealth as the aim of their life. It is even seen as inherently evil by some. Despite where you personally stand, have you ever stopped to deeply explore what the Bible, our true guide in every aspect of life, has to say about this divisive topic? Money has a strange effect on people. For some people accumulating money and creating wealth is a habit and the aim of their life is to ensure that they are never without it. Others view money as a means to an end - necessary but in itself with no value - its only purpose to help them get through life with as little hassle as possible. There are people who consider money to be evil in itself, as it brings out the raw sinful responses of greed, avarice, covetousness, jealousy etc. At the opposite end of the spectrum there are those who see money as a posi-tive thing, to be desired and a visible evidence of success, skill, creativity, and intelligence. This book will explore the truth about what money is and look at it from a biblical perspective; in other words - What does the Bible say about money?

Urban expert John Rossant and business journalist Stephen Baker look beyond the false promises of the past to examine the real future of transportation and the repercussions for the world’s cities, the global economy, the environment, and our individual lives.

Urban expert John Rossant and business journalist Stephen Baker look beyond the false promises of the past to examine the real future of transportation and the repercussions for the world’s cities, the global economy, the environment, and our individual lives. Human mobility, dominated for a century by cars and trucks, is facing a dramatic transformation. Over the next decade, new networked devices, from electric bikes to fleets of autonomous cars, will change the way we move. They will also disrupt major industries, from energy to cars, give birth to new mobility giants, and lead to a redesign of our cities. For Rossant and Baker, this represents the advance of the Information Revolution into the physical world. This will raise troubling questions about surveillance, privacy, the dangers from hackers and the loss of jobs. But it also promises startling efficiencies, which could turn our cities green and, perhaps, save our planet. In an engaging, deeply reported book, the authors travel to mobility hotspots, from Helsinki to Shanghai, to scout out this future. And they visit the companies putting it together. One, Divergent3d, is devising a system to manufacture cars with robots and 3D printers. PonyAI, a Chinese-Silicon Valley startup, builds autonomous software that perceives potholes, oncoming trucks, and wayward pedestrians, and guides the vehicle around them. Voom, an Airbus subsidiary, is racing with dozens of others to operate fleets of air taxis that fly by themselves. Hop, Skip, Go is about us: billions of people on the move. Underlying each stage of mobility, from foot to horse to cars and jets, are the mathematics of three fundamental variables: time, space and money. We measure each trip we take, whether to Kuala Lumpur or the corner drugstore. As the authors make clear, the coming mobility revolution will be no different. As they unveil the future, the authors explore how these changes might revamp our conception of global geography, the hours in our days, and where in the world we might be able to go.

The author is a huge fan of Alan Bennett''s work, having studied Talking Heads at A-level.

A Special Edition of Bad Stuff: What to Do When Life Blows Up in Your Face.

“The Canine population of the United States is about 25 million. Out of this, about 25 million can be classified as neurotic—a conservative estimate. “For the millions of dog-owners seeking a solution to this distressing problem—” Faced with the complications and contradictions of modern society, today’s dog becomes a neurotic. At every turn, his prime life forces—the need to eat and sleep—are thwarted. Instinct pushes him towards satisfying this hunger; sleep is necessary to infuse him with sufficient strength to get up and eat several times a day. (The average dog may require about 24 hours rest a day.) But environmental factors prevent him from satisfying these desires. Stephen Baker, in this entertaining and delightfully fresh book, offers new help for the perplexed pooch owner. There are chapters on training, feeding and—most important—dressing a neurotic dog. You’ll read about traveling with your pet...and what you can do to eliminate sibling rivalry between dog and your baby. There is a chapter on how to psychoanalyze your dog at home, complete with charts and test batteries. You may not learn a thing, but you’ll be vastly amused. Sly and witty drawings, skillfully done by Eric Gurney, serve to complement and clarify the text that will provide every reader (dog lover or not) with a great deal of dog food for thought.

Yan is a compulsive gambler whose wanderlust leads him on a chain of adventures across the South Atlantic and beyond, in the wake of the Falklands War. But this personal voyage takes a heavy toll on his relationships with wife, Kate, and teenage son, Danny, left abandoned in a run-down pub on the northeast coast of England. After 25 years Yan reappears, terminally ill and determined to make amends before his death. Despite Danny''s reticence, the two men begin to reconnect through the unlikely medium of birdwatching, as Danny tries to piece together the truth about Yan''s desertion and protracted homecoming. Set against the stark industrial landscapes of the Tees estuary and the wilder shores of the South Atlantic, this is an Odyssey for the 21st century, a story about fathers and sons, about isolation and human connection, and ultimately about the healing power of the natural world.

Ralf is a software prodigy. He works in the US government office that updates the software in the population''s boosts—networked supercomputers contained in a chip implanted within the brains of 99 percent of the world''s population. Invented by Chinese researchers in 2032, the boost is credited with leading humanity to its most significant cognitive leap since the discovery of fire. Days before a national upgrade, Ralf notices that the update includes an open surveillance gate—meaning that Americans, who had negotiated high levels of privacy with the Chinese manufacturers, will now be subjected to the invasive Chinese standard. Ralf attempts to hack the boost, but is caught by agents working for Washington''s preeminent lobbyist. His boost is ripped from his head, and Ralf barely escapes with his life. Pursued by the lobbyist''s mercenary cadre, Ralf flees to the US–Mexico border, where there are others like him—"wild" humans on the fringes of society, unenhanced by technology. It''s a frightening and backward world controlled by powerful drug lords. Ralf''s only hope is to somehow work with these wild bosses of the analog world—in hopes of winning back freedom in the digital one. At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Bartender Samuel Palo lives on the lovely Anna Maria Island in Florida. Surrounded by his adopted family and his coworkers from The Zoo, a bar where the drinks are cheap and the best food on the menu is frozen solid first. Sam is living with a secret he thinks is safely locked away in back of his mind. Some sins are not meant to be forgotten but forgiven. Blessed with incredible strength, Sam finds he can do little to stop his fragile world from coming apart. As the pains from his past surface, Sam finds himself slowly losing control of his emotions and wondering what he can do to keep from harming anyone. He knows that he is running out of time. The Family, an eccentric Christian community, is dedicated to helping God''s special children find peace. Can they help Sam find the peace that only God can provide before he takes matters into his own hands?I firmly believe that when Jesus said, "For God so loved the world," he meant this place - planet earth. So be warned, I have chosen to use curse words and slang as I have heard them used in life. In addition, I do not embellish violence, prostitution, premarital sex, or drug use although there are situations in this novel where these events occur. I do not agree with sin and I do not offer any more detail than is necessary. I have intentionally left out any dialogue where the name of the God is used in vain. One has to drawn a line. ''Of Strength and Providence'' is a modern parable. Jesus has taught me so much that I wish to be like my master although His parables are much better. My intention is to show the power of His kingdom here on earth. May you see how much God loves you, is with you, no matter where you are in "the world".
