An extraordinary book that expresses the tsunami-like assault on America's culture and a call of God for every Christian man to stand in the gap and put on the full armor of the Spirit. Godly Men in Perilous Times reveals the reality of America's rising chaos and moral decay, seen by accelerated evil-doing and un-bridled, threatening behaviors. This book will challenge every man to develop a deeper understanding of spiritual warfare and how to be victorious by walking in the Spirit. Part one, "Ungodly Behaviors," enlightens Christian men with a realistic view of the signs of the times in which we live. Such evil times during Paul's ministry parallel those of today. Part two, "How Should We, Then, Live?" presents characteristics of a godly man. Becoming a godly man does not mean perfection. Men should seek the Lord through daily prayer, Bible study, and surrender to God's purpose. Nichols offers a message of encouragement. Part three, "Pressing In," is a study guide designed for individuals and groups. It includes pertinent questions and commentary.

<b>When does the shadow of a legend merely block out the sun?</b><br><br>Everyone remembers <i>The Rest of Quiglet,</i> that heartwarming sitcom starring Grace Mannix. For four years it told the story of a typical teenage girl, her widowed father, and their robot maid (played by the exotic ''Biltong''). The legend was made complete by the chance casting of the show''s composer, Sherman Schiegel, in an onscreen role as Quiglet''s boyfriend.<p>In perpetual syndication, the show still has many avid fans. Elyse Argawal, following its progress and absorbing its teachings, has made it the focus of her successful academic career, while teenage twins Tabby and Billy Tibbins have pursued their obsession with the show''s machinations in their fanzine, <i>Silent Zone</i>.</p><p>A crucial part of <i>Quiglet</i> mythology is its much discussed but long suppressed finale: the so-called ''murder episode.'' But while doing research in Eastern Europe after the fall of the Iron Curtain, Elyse stumbles upon a copy of this jewel in the <i>Quiglet</i> crown. And when she and Billy fall in love, she faces the same dilemma the show''s cast has long faced: what is their identity without the myth that brought them fame and fortune?</p><p>Extending over four decades and told from a range of perspectives and paradigms, this debut graphic novel from renowned Australian cultural historian David Nichols is a pitch-perfect satire that explores ambition, desire, and the pursuit of perfection.</p>

Delivering innovation has become the number-one item on the marketing director's agenda. Innovation is no longer an occasional "extra," but something demanded by retailers, shareholders, and, above all, consumers. Yet, many of today's marketers never move beyond making flavor changes, just to keep the brand alive.
