There's not one person that at some time hasn't gone through some kind of trial. Suffering has a way of making us self-centered, but the fact is we are not the only ones suffering. Our family and friends are hurting for us. They're praying for us and going out of their way and taking up their time to help out however they can. For a lot of us, their suffering hurts us more than what we are going through. At some point, we start questioning God and wondering why God has forsaken us. God has a time and a purpose for our tribulations. This book was written to help you understand God loves you. You need to take your trials and pain to him. His grace will comfort you. The hope is that this book will encourage you to look for the blessings you can receive through trials.

Private Property and Public Power

Eminent Domain in Philadelphia

By: Debbie Becher

News media reports on eminent domain often highlight outrage and heated protest. But these accounts, Debbie Becher finds, obscure a much more complex reality of how Americans understand property. Private Property and Public Power presents the first comprehensive study of a city's acquisitions, exploring how and why Philadelphia took properties between 1992 and 2007 for private redevelopment. Becher uses original data-collected from city offices and interviews with over a hundred residents, business owners, community leaders, government representatives, attorneys, and appraisers-to explore how eminent domain really works. Surprisingly, the city took over 4,000 private properties, and these takings rarely provoked opposition. When conflicts did arise, community residents, businesses, and politicians all appealed to a shared notion of investment to justify their arguments about policy. It is this social conception of property as an investment of value, committed over time, that government is responsible for protecting. Becher's findings stand in stark contrast to the views of libertarian and left-leaning activists and academics, but recognizing property as investment, she argues, may offer a solid foundation for more progressive urban policies.
