The Future Is Asian: Global Order In The Twenty-First Century

Five billion people, two-thirds of the world's mega-cities, one-third of the global economy, two-thirds of global economic growth, thirty of the Fortune 100, six of the ten largest banks, eight of the ten largest armies, five nuclear powers, massive technological innovation, the newest crop of top-ranked universities. Asia is also the world's most ethnically, linguistically and culturally diverse region of the planet, eluding any remotely meaningful generalization beyond the geographic label itself. Even for Asians, Asia is dizzying to navigate.

Whether you gauge by demography, geography, economy or any other metric, Asia is already the present - and it is certainly the future. It is for this reason that we cannot afford to continue to get Asia so wrong. The Future Is Asian accurately shows Asia from the inside-out, telling the story of how this mega-region is coming together and reshaping the entire planet in the process.

''In an authoritative book which may well become a standard reference . . . Parag Khanna casts the net wider to deliver a compelling argument that Asia - rather than merely China - is the current and future lodestar for the global economy. Of Asia's nearly 5bn people, 3.5bn are not Chinese'' - Financial Times

''An upbeat examination of a changing 'Greater Asia' . . . Eurasia's future is likely to be more ductile than fixed and hegemonic. In this new world order, actions still lead to reactions'' - The Economist

''The Future Is Asian offers a valuable and thoroughly researched analysis'' - Wall Street Journal

''The Future Is Asian challenges the way westerners view the continent . . . As Khanna lays out his argument and vision for the Asia's future role in global geopolitics, it is almost impossible not to be persuaded by his school of thought'' - City A.M.

''A well-written, important book'' - Australian Financial Review

''Offers a comprehensive worldview from an Asian perspective . . . Khanna is thorough and clear, offering abundant food for thought'' - Kirkus

''Asia is vast, bustling and rapidly becoming an integrated, world-dominating region, according to this sprawling geo-economic study . . . Khanna's wealth of statistics, deep knowledge, and lucid prose make for a stimulating overview of the rising colossus'' - Publishers Weekly

Accessible Anthropology from a Christian Perspective in a Postmodern World
Format: Paperback
I had this as assigned reading for an upcoming seminary class. Beforehand, I read a TGC review by David Shaw which was highly positive but also offered three weaknesses. He expressed them as a wish for: more concentrated space devoted to the Christian view of the human body as well as a schema that goes beyond creation, fall, and redemption and includes inaugurated and future eschatology; a section on secular worldview rather than piecemeal throughout; and worldview language without pushing for worldview as a category, which he saw as dangerous. I actually liked the secular worldview interwoven through each chapter and thought that was helpful. However, I agree with the other weaknesses, particularly Shaw's last one. I went ahead and found a journal article on the Christian view of the human body so I would have a frame of reference as I read. I'm so glad I did. I was not looking for something specifically Calvinistic, but leave it to Calvin to have written enough so that someone could analyze it! The name of the article is "Theology, Anthropology, and the Human Body in Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion" by Margaret R Miles in the Harvard Theological Review. I also have sources for eschatology and won't speak to these two topics that I felt were missing. What I will say is this. I got a much better idea of what's going on in secular thought because of Pearcey's readable style without any dumbing down of concepts. That alone makes Love Thy Body well worth the read. However, I was disappointed with the ending, particularly pages 258 to the end. On 258, she correctly states that "we do not create marriage so much as we enter into a pre-existing social institution." Then on 259, she states that "Christians are called to form a model society--the local church--to demonstrate to the world a balanced interplay of individuality and relationship, of unity and diversity". Further down the page, she quotes, "Human beings are called to reproduce on earth the mystery of mutual love that the Trinity lives in heaven." I don't have a problem with these statements in isolation. The Apostle Paul exhorted Timothy to 'save both yourself and your hearers', attributing to Timothy the ability to save in terms of his being a secondary means. However, in context of what Shaw describes as 'worldview as category', my question is this. Are we called to 'form' or create a model society or to enter into it? I would argue that believers enter the kingdom of God who sets the agenda. Do they 'reproduce on earth the mystery of mutual love that the Trinity lives in heaven' or is this a gospel imperative flowing out of gospel indicatives? I would argue for the latter. At another place, Pearcey uses the phraseology 'Christianity offers' but wouldn't it be better stated that 'Christianity is'? In framing her argument in terms of worldview, Shaw notes that she inadvertently undermines her own argument. I would add that we are pointed in the direction of our minds alone instead of towards our embodied persons (including our minds) joined to the resurrected embodied Christ. "We are...always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies" (2 Cor 4:8, 10).

Love Thy Body
Format: Hardcover
Love Thy Body, Nancy Pearcey Written for Tenth Grade upwards (My granddaughter will read it.) Excellent for group studies. A study guide is included in the back of the book. About a month ago Nancy Pearcey was kind enough to pull me into her pre-launch group for her new book, Love Thy Body. Her book was sent to me that I might read it prior to its release, the only requirement being that I write an “honest review.” Apologetics can be a rollercoaster ride for me. With each page I found myself saying, “Yes. OK, that’s good. Excellent! Pure gold.” Then again, “Push that a step further. A chink in the wall opened, but now a bit further. Just a bit more!” As Nancy Pearcey reminds her readers, we are not in a “cultural war,” but in a “rescue mission.” Apologetics aims at understanding the position of the “other” in order to find their weaknesses and demonstrate them so their logic falls on itself. Pearcey is an excellent cultural dissector. Every chapter addresses a specific cultural concern, those that are on the forefront of every Christian’s mind. Love Thy Body tackles issues of abortion, euthanasia, the hook up, sexuality, transgenderism, homosexuality, marriage and parenthood. Pearcey does a thorough job explaining the philosophical underpinnings of the dualist worldview splitting personhood and body supporting abortion that eventually evolves into the cultural disavowal of both gender and body. This dualist secular thought which prizes emotion over the body or biology I foundational to euthanasia, matters of sexuality, and the family. Pearcey defends the Christian scriptural worldview of the embodied soul created by God and redeemed, saved, and restored in Christ as the one that is truly freeing. She does this without using the Bible as a “battering ram.” "The main reason to address moral issues is that they have become a barrier to even hearing the message of salvation. People are inundated with rhetoric that Bible is hateful, narrow and negative. While it is crucial to be clear about the biblical teaching of sin, the context must be an overall positive message: that Christianity alone gives the basis for a high view of the value and meaning of the body as a good gift from God. In our communication with people struggling with moral issues, we need to reach out with a life-giving, life-affirming message. We should work to draw people in by the beauty of the biblical vision of life." There were times though, that I wanted stronger suggestions, “Get thee to a church!” But, again, this is apologetics. This is the wall-breaker. This is, “Oh, wow! Yeah! Now what do I do?” And in the hands of Christians, we should know what next to do. Sometimes repetitive, but that’s a good thing for students and people like me with short attention spans.

Fresh, great product from a good company
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I take this product to help clean out my internal organs. That's the honest truth. Especially for getting rid of and preventing a fatty liver. As a diuretic, the dandelion root definitely helps in the process of detoxification as well. I bought several other products from this company, and all of them have shined exceptionally well! Specifically when it comes to the dandelion root tea powder, I noticed that it has a freshness to it. Other products from other companies feel inferior. When I first opened up the package I could tell that it looked like 100% pure dandelion root. It's got a light color, it looks fresh, and also smelled fresh. I can't really say specifically how this product tastes on its own, since I usually mix it in with my morning energy smoothie which includes other detoxifying elements like lemon, matcha and Assam tea, and a few other things. I'll see this much though, their marketing is great, their packaging is great, the products are definitely Superior to other products I've tried from other companies. I would go as far as to say that the dandelion root powder is definitely helping to detox my body, and I would definitely continue to buy it again.

Good quality tea with distinct and flavorful taste!
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This tea has a distinct taste that is smooth, yet flavorful. It is my first time trying this brand, but I would definitely order again. I appreciate the organic content and nutritional benefits and cleansing attributes of this product. It does have a relaxing quality and the aroma is pleasing. I thought this came in tea bag form, but it is actually a powder which disolves in hot water. I would recommend this tea to others.
