Begun in 1966, The World Today Series offers a penetrating look into every nation-its geographical setting, history, current government, politics, cultures, economy, as well as its problems and prospects. The up-to-date content is effectively supplemented with maps, photographs, original art, and comprehensive bibliographies. As events become more remote, their descriptions are condensed with each new edition. This allows room to present the important, current happenings that have occurred since publication of the previous edition, along with insightful discussion of the reasons they occurred and the implications for the future. The result is a series of well-proportioned, complete, and very up-to-date texts that focus on current events-uncluttered with unnecessary and repetitive background detail. Each new edition brings the world into today's perspective for the reader. Revised and published each year, the books in the series provide important details and analysis for each country, with sharp focus on the realities of today's events. Year after year, the combination of factual accuracy and up-to-date detail along with the informed projections make The World Today books are outstanding resources for researchers, practitioners in international development, media professionals, government officials, potential investors, students, and high-school, college & public libraries. Available in both print and e-book formats and priced low to fit student and library budgets!

Cover art by Rick Sanders)~~~ Message from the Editor ~~~VERVE FLASH started as a challenge to our authors and staff to try to write a compelling story in short form. The submissions absolutely blew me away and proved to all of us how we can stretch out of our comfort zones and write great stuff.This multi-genre collection is the cumulative brain of seventeen writers who contributed anywhere between one to five stories to the anthology. These are flash-fiction stories, under 2000 words. The neat thing about this type of storytelling is not just in the "meat of the matter"-the brevity of story and character development-but also in what is NOT written, leaving readers to participate in the vision in their own ways.We look forward to your feedback and ideas, which will prepare us for future volumes in a collective format like this one.VERVE FLASH truly is "the short road to big fiction," and we hope you enjoy the ride.~ Janet Fix, publisher, author, editor, thewordverve inc.

AUTHORS: Patrick Middleton, John Hintz, Larry Bevins, Steven Morley, Bonnie Hedlund, Jeff Kotterman, and Jeff BoydThis is a Christian lifestyle workbook produced by the team at Voyag Institute to help the reader better understand their unique purpose in God's kingdom and in their own life.This book is not a self-help book, it is a self-discovery workbook. It is designed around the premise that once we are aware of our purpose as Christians discovering where our talents, gifts and abilities lie; our goals fall into place. The workbook is uniquely designed to demonstrate life balance through achieving integrated goals in all five areas of life. This workbook takes the readers on a journey through these five specific areas of life that are addressed in the Scriptures: Healthy Faith (Loving God), Healthy Relationships (Loving Others), Mental Health, Physical Health and Financial Health.The workbook offers colorful displays and personal assessments to keep the reader engaged. At the start and end of every chapter the reader assesses themselves and in the chapters themselves the reader will be faced with questions and challenges that will help clarify their Christian life purpose through the lens of scripture. Each reader takes his or her unique journey through each area of life and then begins to set and achieve small goals; training themselves to create larger goals and greater balance in their lives. This workbook can be completed by an individual or in a group, and positive life changes as well as growth are very possible. But, the maximum growth and change only comes when we are held accountable for our goals. To achieve this maximum potential the Voyag Team recommends that the reader utilize a Voyag trained Life Coach, a counseling Pastor, or a friend to walk through this journey with. God did not create us to be alone but to be in communion with one another, to encourage one another and to be accountable to one another; in order that we may grow as Christian men and women. "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2 NIV)"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing" (1 Thessalonians 5:11 NIV)
