Few books have impacted the West as deeply as The City of God. Saint Augustine blazed trails not only in the realms of politics and philosophy, but in the life of the heart, exploring the relationship between a loving God and a shattered world. Thomas Aquinas, Charlemagne, John Calvin, Hannah Arendt, and Pope Benedict XVI alike have drawn from this text's deep and varied wells.
Yet few of us will ever read the epic work, which often stretches past one thousand pages. This volume, however, offers a shorter, simpler road through Augustine's masterpiece. Edited by Hans Urs von Balthasar, it presents key selections from The City of God, culled for their beauty and spiritual power, buttressed with notes, and arranged by theme—from the creation of the world to the Roman Empire, from human happiness to the nature of death.
'Once, a very long time ago, King Mer-kar ruled over the city of Uruk in ancient Sumer'.. so begins this folktale from the ancient Near East. The City of Rainbows is the story of a wise king, a foolish king, magical deeds, talking animals, witches, sorcerers and godesses.
The Clipper Ship Strategy by Richard J. Maybury explains how government's interference in the economy affects business, careers, and investments. It's a practical nuts-and-bolts strategy for prospering in our turbulent economy.

“Don’t fret, Father,” said Michael, a good-humoured lad on the whole. “I’ll ask Master to give me a roll for him at dinner-time, and besides, there’s Peter —” (the brother next in age, who had just got a place as one of the boy-postillions the wealthy Russians were so fond of having) — “Peter may come and see us, and bring us a kopeck or two for him.”

For most of us, Advent is synonymous with Christmas. After all, don't our Advent calendars count down to December 25th? Isn't Advent a time to think about the birth of the baby in the manger, the angels and the shepherd? It certainly is. Advent means the coming of the special baby who was laid in a manger in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago. But J.C. Ryle would also remind people of the 'Second Advent' when Jesus will come again. On that day, Jesus will return to our world, not as a baby but as the unmistakable King of kings and Lord of lords.
