| A Christian Response to an Increasingly Violent 'Assassination Culture' |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| In a world where death threats flood phones and vandalism becomes a political statement, the words of Jesus in John 10:10 ring truer than ever: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."

| 'Abundance': An Optimistic, if Liberal Argument for Human Progress |
| by Chuck Donovan |
| A new book from two authors on the self-avowed liberal end of the political spectrum has a striking title: "Abundance." Well-written and well-informed by citations to the writings of generations of economists and scientists, "Abundance" represents an attempt, bold in parts and tentative at others, to break away from the grip of pessimistic accounts of the human future. The book does so by leveling a critical gaze at some of the successes, as well as appalling failures, visited upon U.S. society by the apparatuses of government at various levels. |
