In an age of warlords and plagues, one man ruled the world armed not with superstition or cruelty, but with reason. When Marcus Aurelius took the throne of Rome, the empire’s peace was already beginning to crumble. Beyond the Danube, restless tribes gathered. In the East, Parthian kings tested Rome’s strength. At home, pestilence hollowed out cities and farms. Yet amid chaos, the emperor sat by firelight in a soldier’s tent, writing meditations to himself about humility, duty, and the fleeting nature of power. The Philosopher King tells the sweeping, visceral story of Rome’s last ...

Everything in the natural realm is in anguish—and not merely creation, nations, or even the Church. This anguish is progressive. Its sound is rising in the earth, a sound that cannot be silenced by progressive thinking, medicated by comfort, or explained away by theology alone. It is the sound of transition—history standing between what was lost and what is about to be revealed. Romans 8 unveils a mystery the Church must recover: groaning is not the language of defeat; it is the language of birth. The world is not collapsing—it is in labor. What feels like chaos is contraction. ...

When we think of leaders, we often imagine lone, inspirational figures lauded for their behaviors, attributes, and personal decisions, and leadership books often reinforce that view. However, this approach ignores a leader's mission to empower others. Applying decades of behavioral science research, Don A. Moore and Max H. Bazerman offer a passionate corrective to this view, casting today's organizations as decision factories in which effective leaders are decision architects, enabling those around them to make wise, ethical choices consistent with the organization's highest values.
