A Penitent People: The Doctrine of RepentanceIn this refreshing exploration of a frequently misunderstood spiritual discipline, Harrison Perkins invites Christians to reconsider repentance not as a dreary obligation, but as a joyful gift of grace. With theological depth and pastoral sensitivity, Perkins shows how repentance is about freedom—Christ freeing His people from sin's enslaving power. Drawing from Scripture and Reformed tradition, A Penitent People illuminates repentance as both personal posture and communal practice. Through thoughtful examinations of key biblical passages, Perkins demonstrates that genuine repentance flows from faith, propels us toward Christ, and transforms both individuals and churches. This book challenges common misconceptions, showing that repentance isn't about earning God's favor but experiencing the freedom Christ purchased. Rather than focusing on guilt, Perkins emphasizes how repentance allows believers to enjoy the ‘twofold benefit’ of Christ—justification and progressive sanctification. Perfect for pastors, students, and everyday Christians seeking to deepen their spiritual life, A Penitent People offers a biblical vision of repentance that liberates rather than burdens—inviting readers to discover the sweet relief of turning from sin to embrace the goodness of God.

***THE WORD OF MOUTH INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NOW UPDATED WITH 15 EXPLOSIVE NEW CHAPTERS***False economics. Threats, bribes, extortion. Debt, deception, coups, assassinations and unbridled military power. These are the tools used by the ‘corporatocracy’ – a vast network of corporations, banks, colluding governments and rich and powerful individuals – to ensure that they retain and expand their wealth and influence, growing richer and richer as the poor become poorer.In his original, post 9/11 book, John Perkins revealed how he was recruited as an economic hit man in the 1970s, and exposed the corrupt methods American corporations use to spread their influence in the developing world, cheating countries out of trillions of dollars. In this new, extensively updated edition he lays bare the latest, terrifying evolution of the economic hit man, and how the system has become even more entrenched and powerful than ever before.In New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John Perkins provides fresh and chilling evidence of how the corporatocracy has grown its influence to every corner of the globe, making us all unwitting slaves to their regime. But he also provides advice on how we can end our unconscious support of the system and its self-serving, lethal economy.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Perkins ...

“What would you do if you grew up seeing your home repeatedly raided? Your parents arrested? Your mother shot? Your uncle killed? Try, for just a moment, to imagine that this was your life.

In this shocking exposé, former EHM John Perkins gives an insider view into the corrupt system that cheats and strong-arms countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars and ultimately causes staggering income inequality and ecological devastation. EHMs are highly paid professionals who use development loans to saddle countries with huge debts and force them to serve US interests.

The long-awaited monograph of the UK's leading graphic design and branding agency.The world is full of design companies, but none of them are like North. Formed in 1995 by Sean Perkins, the studio has always followed a highly individualistic path. This individualism manifests itself in many ways: most notably in the absence of a densely populated studio website; there are no hyperactive social media feeds; even the studio's name, derived from Perkins' origins in the unmetropolitan north of England, stands for frill-free, plain speaking, visual directness. It's almost as if North is a well-kept secret. Yet the group has a devoted worldwide following, and attracts myriad clients keen to hire them for their ability to produce memorable and carefully engineered visual identities.North's work is the product of sharp-brained research, high-end craft and precise visual expression. And as can be seen in the pages of this book, the studio's first monograph, the result is a rich crop of brand identities, packaging, exhibitions, books, posters and logos. It includes work for Tate, Southbank, Munch (Oslo), Co-op, Barbican, Samsung, Meta, Science Museum, The Royal Mint and M+ (Hong Kong).

Píše se rok 1939. Spojené státy se stále ještě zcela nevzpamatovaly z následků první světové války a Velké hospodářské krize a na obzoru se již stahují mračna hrozby nové války, neboť fašismus nabírá na síle i v nejtemnějších zákoutích Ameriky. I Gotham se zmítá v hospodářsko-společenském chaosu, ke kterému ještě přispívá náhlý nárůst násilné kriminality. Policejní komisař Gordon má plné ruce práce s vlnou brutálních vražd čelných představitelů města. Do toho všeho se objevuje tajemný strážce Bat-Man, který komisaři nabízí pomocnou ruku. Veškeré důkazy v rámci vyšetřování vražd popírají logiku – všichni pachatelé totiž zemřeli na elektrickém křesle. Když se však Bat-Man ocitne tváří v tvář jedné z těchto hrůzných anomálií, stěží unikne se zdravou kůží – což vrhá stín pochybností na jeho schopnost přežít ve světě, který se kolem něj brutálně vyvíjí! Tato kniha přináší zajímavý pohled na slavného hrdinu v samých začátcích jeho kariéry, kdy se stále ještě učí nejen to, jak se vypořádat s pestrou škálou zločinců, ale také jak si vybírat spojence a komu důvěřovat, aby v pochmurném prostředí gothamského podsvětí vůbec přežil.

Wonderfully sardonic and slyly humorous, the writings of landmark American feminist and socialist thinker Charlotte Perkins Gilman were penned in response to her frustrations with the gender-based double standard that prevailed in America as the twentieth century began. Perhaps best known for her chilling depiction of a woman's mental breakdown in her unforgettable 1892 short story 'The Yellow Wall-Paper', Gilman also wrote Herland, a wry novel that imagines a peaceful, progressive country from which men have been absent for 2,000 years. Both are included in this volume, along with a selection of Gilman's major short stories and her poems.

Why did Rome fall? Vicious barbarian invasions during the fifth century resulted in the cataclysmic end of the world''s most powerful civilization, and a ''dark age'' for its conquered peoples. Or did it? The dominant view of this period today is that the ''fall of Rome'' was a largely peaceful transition to Germanic rule, and the start of a positive cultural transformation. Bryan Ward-Perkins encourages every reader to think again by reclaiming the drama and violence of the last days of the Roman world, and reminding us of the very real horrors of barbarian occupation. Attacking new sources with relish and making use of a range of contemporary archaeological evidence, he looks at both the wider explanations for the disintegration of the Roman world and also the consequences for the lives of everyday Romans, in a world of economic collapse, marauding barbarians, and the rise of a new religious orthodoxy. He also looks at how and why successive generations have understood this period differently, and why the story is still so significant today.

What would happen if society was run by women? Charlotte Perkins Gilman imagines the result...When three American men discover a community of women, living in perfect isolation in the Amazon, they decide there simply must be men somewhere. How could these women survive without man''s knowledge, experience and strength, not to mention reproductive power? In fact, what they have found is a civilisation free from disease, poverty and the weight of tradition. All alone, the women have created a society of calm and prosperity, a feminist utopia that dares to threaten the very concept of male superiority. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY LINDY WEST

In 1892 a furious Charlotte Perkins Gilman put pen to paper and created the avant-garde feminist work The Yellow Wallpaper as a warning – in this haunting Gothic tale, a woman is confined to a room and forbidden to do anything interesting – and she loses her mind. In 1887, following a severe nervous breakdown, Gilman had been sent to a leading neurologist, she explains in ‘Why I Wrote The Yellow Wallpaper’, also included in this volume. He was a ‘wise man’ who ‘put me to bed and applied the rest cure… and sent me home with solemn advice to “live as domestic a life as far as possible”… and “never to touch pen, brush or pencil again” as long as I lived. I went home and obeyed those directions for some three months, and came so near the borderline of utter mental ruin that I could see over.’ The Yellow Wallpaper is both a haunting illustration of the treatment of mental health and a chilling Gothic tale, and this new edition makes it ready to enchant another generation of readers.
