The 52nd Floor: Thinking Deeply About Leadership

By: David A. Levy,James E. Parco,Fred R. Blass

Anyone who has worked for a large organization understands that all bureaucracies demand to be fed. Some of these bureaucracies can develop insatiable appetites, and when they do, the defining aspect between success and failure is often good leadership. But what is good leadership? Leaders are responsible for making sense of the ambiguity that emerges from the complex relationships that define organizations. They provide the frames to help us understand what we see. But when meaning and purpose begin to fade from the day-to-day taskers, special projects and reports, we are left to wonder whether we are observing mere nonsense or something else we just don t understand. How can we know? We must ask questions -- good questions. Any meaningful attempt to understand the complexities of organizational life requires considerable reflection upon one's own thinking. Through a collection of stories, The 52nd Floor: Thinking Deeply About Leadership takes readers on a reflective journey where they can discover for themselves the right questions to ask to create a path to become a better leader. Welcome to the 52nd Floor.

The Faith That Saves

The Nature of Faith in the New Testament--An Exegetical and Theological Analysis on the Nature of New Testament Faith

By: Fred Chay,John P. Correia

Endorsements: ""There is no more important issue in theological study than the meaning of faith in the New Testament. The perennial problem of the misunderstanding concerning the nature of faith has produced a variety of theological errors as well as pastoral problems for the church. In a day of rampant theological confusion concerning justification by faith the nature of faith is paramount. This book provides a penetrating examination through exegetical precision, concerning the nature of faith. For those who believe in ""faith alone in Christ alone"" this book will guide you into an understanding of what faith is and what it is not. This is a book that needed to be written and a book that must be read. -- Earl Radmacher, ThD, President Emeritus, Western Seminary Most evangelical Protestants agree that salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone. However, what they cannot agree on is the meaning of faith. Are there different kinds of faith in the Bible? Is there saving faith and non-saving faith? Is faith a matter of the mind, or the mind and the emotions, or the mind, emotions, and will? Is faith active or passive on the part of the believer? Is it a gift of God or a work of man? All these questions and many more are explored in depth by Chay and Correia. They have done a commendable job of dealing with words studies, grammatical nuances, and debated passages. Such a work is long overdue. --Dave Anderson, PhD, President and professor of Theology, Grace School of Theology; President, Free Grace Alliance About the Contributor(s): Fred Chay, Th.M., Ph.D., is Professor of Theology ad Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program at Phoenix Seminary. He is the founder and President of Grace Line Ministry. John Correia, M.Div., is a Senior Pastor and Adjunct Professor in Phoenix.

Ocean City

America's Greatest Family Resort

By: Fred Miller

Nestled along the New Jersey coastline and built to be one of the original seaside tourist destinations, Ocean City still sets the standard for resort living along the mid-Atlantic. What was once a whale-processing center in the 1700s emerged as a destination for sun and fun by drawing the biggest names and the classic American families of the early twentieth century. As our country's search for the ideal vacation grew, this 7-mile stretch of beach cultivated a rich history and a reputation as one of the most alluring communities on the East Coast.

In a Mind's Eye

By: Fred Lipschitz

Dr. Ludlow Fein, Psychoanalyst is suddenly faced with a madman targeting his family and his patients. Threats leveled at his wife Clare, strange messages left in his waiting room, meaningless night calls, and the murder of some of his patients propels him toward the realization that he will finally have to confront death We are able to see into the minds of both the madman; what he thinks, his battle with evil voices driving him to murder, and the conflicts of the analyst as he confronts his patients, and his uncivilized rage at the threat to his life. Steve Fein, his Brother, is a New York City Homicide Detective assigned to the search for a serial killer targeting young women who are found clutching a Queen Chess piece, and papers with a puzzling code. The nature of the murders leads Steve to consult his brother as an expert on pathology, and they find that the messages left with the dead women resemble one found in Ludlows waiting room, and point to the Queen Sacrifice, a desperate move in chess. It is not clear what this means to the madman, Simon Sawyer, but it awakens in Ludlow a memory of how he had failed a young boy many years ago. The tension builds as the madmans calls increase. He becomes more brazen in his attacks, and Ludlow is nearly killed while following a suspect. The conflict finally leads to a deadly meeting between the madman, and the Psychoanalyst.

Feeding the Ghosts

By: Fred D'Aguiar

A literary venture into the economic shadow that slavery cast, Feeding the Ghosts, based on a true story, lays bare the raw business of the slave trade. The Zong, a slave ship packed with captive African “stock,” is headed to the New World. When illness threatens to disable all on board and cut potential profits, the ship’s captain orders his crew to throw the sick into the ocean. After being hurled overboard, Mintah, a young female slave taken from a Danish mission, is able to climb back onto the ship. From her hiding place, she rouses the remaining slaves to rebel and stirs unease among the crew with a voice and conscience they seem unable to silence. Mintah’s courage and others’ reactions to it unfold in a suspenseful story of the struggle to live even when threatened by oblivion.

Preaching Through the Christian Year: Year C

A Comprehensive Commentary on the Lectionary

By: Fred B. Craddock,John H. Hayes,Carl R. Holladay,Gene M. Tucker

This is the third and final volume in the comprehensive three-volume set of commentaries on all of the lectionary texts for Sunday reading (including the Psalms) and for special days in all communions, treating the readings for each year in a single volume. The three volumes are based on The Common Lectionary (1992) together with other readings kept in the Episcopal, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic churches. A complete index of texts is included in each volume, making it useful for those who do not follow the lectionary or who are looking for commentaries on specific texts. Continuing acclaim for the series - "There is no better one-volume resource for the weekly task of preparing sermons grounded in biblical faith. Over the course of the past year, the four authors have become my good and trusted friends as they helped me find something to say that is both lively and true to the text." -The Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor, Grace-Calvary Episcopal Church, Clarkesville, Georgia "Simply put, the best commentary series on the best lectionary. An unusual blend of biblical and homiletical skills." -James F. White, Professor of Liturgy, University of Notre Dame "Its exegeses are well written and extremely helpful in preparing sermons. I and my congregation are appreciative of this source. I look forward to reading the next volume in the series, and in the meantime I find myself continuing to browse through, study, reflect upon, write in the margins of, and otherwise use the previous volume." -The Rev. Rebecca L. Spencer, Central Congregational Church, Providence, Rhode Island "Professors Craddock, Hayes, Holladay, and Tucker have already established themselves as insightful and helpful interpreters of the scriptures. These volumes significantly broaden their previous contributions by embracing all the alternatives offered by the recent revision of The Common Lectionary. The publishing values - the convenience of a single volume, a binding that lays flat, and clear, readable type - make this an indispensable addition or replacement for the preacher's library." -The Rev. Patrick J. Willson, St. Stephen's Presbyterian Church, Fort Worth, Texas The authors of the outstanding series teach at Candler School of Theology, Emory University. All have published extensively in their respective fields of endeavors: Fred B. Craddock, Professor of Preaching and New Testament; John H Hayes, Professor of Old Testament; Carl R. Holladay, Professor of New Testament; Gene M. Tucker, Professor of Old Testament.

Here Comes the Assembly Man

A Year in the Life of a Primary School

By: Fred Sedgwick

Originally published in 1989, this is a book about managing a real primary school – but, unlike most management books, it places the child at the centre of the exercise. It concentrates on an untidy reality rather than a system – on a human perspective rather than one which is manipulative of human reality. The books narrative structure makes it unique amongst other books in the field. Sedgwick writes with warmth and perception. His insights into the relations between the children and their teachers form part of a collage of material. Many accounts from parents, visitors, teachers and children are included in his colourful prose, providing other points of view and changes in narrative gear. Letters, poems, photographs and drawings complete the collage so that the book takes on a form which is appropriate to its subject – the randomness and variety of a school’s life. Here Comes the Assembly Man is always absorbing, at times highly amusing – a rewarding read for all parents, teachers and educationalists alike.

Peter

The Myth, the Man and the writings

By: Fred Lapham

This book critically examines all the early and important Petrine pseudepigrapha to identify a distinctive Petrine theology which, it is believed, was later swamped by the tide of western orthodoxy. Despite the diversity of the books and tractates, ranging from Jewish-Christian writings to avowedly Gnostic works, a remarkably consistent Petrine tradition does emerge; and Peter is shown essentially to be neither the impetuous, undiscerning, and even vacillating figure portrayed in the Gospels and Acts, nor the magisterial and pontifical figure of later Church tradition, but a visionary who was concerned above all to hold together both the moral and cognitive aspects of the Faith.

The Coming Population Crash

and Our Planet's Surprising Future

By: Fred Pearce

A leading environmental writer looks at the unexpected effects—and possible benefits—of a shrinking, graying population Over the last century, the world’s population quadrupled and fears of overpopulation flared, with baby booms blamed for genocide and terrorism, and overpopulation singled out as the primary factor driving global warming. Yet, surprisingly, it appears that the population explosion is past its peak—by mid-century, the world’s population will be declining for the first time in over seven hundred years. In The Coming Population Crash, veteran environmental writer Fred Pearce reveals the dynamics behind this dramatic shift and describes the environmental, social, and economic effects of our surprising demographic future.

The World's Population

An Encyclopedia of Critical Issues, Crises, and Ever-Growing Countries

By: Fred M. Shelley

This one-volume encyclopedia examines key topics, major world players, and imminent problems pertaining to the world's ever-growing population. According to the United Nations, the population of our planet reached 7 billion people in 2011. What areas of the world have the most people? What measures, if any, are in place to control the population? Why is Europe's population shrinking, while the rest of the world is growing? This eye-opening encyclopedia answers questions like these by examining significant issues and topics relating to the population and exploring profiles of the most populated countries and cities of the world. More than 100 alphabetically arranged entries focus on such topics as census, demography, megacity, overpopulation, and urban sprawl. Author Fred M. Shelley, an accomplished academic in the field of environmental sustainability, reveals the steps taken by major cities such as Rio de Janeiro, Paris, Tokyo, Beijing, Mexico City, Seoul, Manila, and New Delhi in handling their population, and what is being done in China and other countries to prevent overcrowding. The text includes a discussion of how factors like migration patterns, war, and disease impact population change. This comprehensive encyclopedia also includes primary document excerpts from court cases, legislation, and political speeches relating to population issues.

Secret Green Beret Commandos in Cambodia

A Memorial History of Macv-Sog’s Command and Control Detachment South (Ccs), and Its Air Partners, Republic of Vietnam, 1967-1972

By: LTC Fred S. Lindsey

We could call this book Special Operations Recon Mission Impossible. A small group of highly trained, resourceful US Special Forces (SF) men is asked to go in teams behind the enemy lines to gather intelligence on the North Vietnamese Army units that had infiltrated through Laos and Cambodia down the Ho Chi Minh trails to their secret bases inside the Cambodian border west of South Vietnam. The covert reconnaissance teams, of only two or three SF men with four or five experienced indigenous mercenaries each, were tasked to go into enemy target areas by foot or helicopter insertion. They could be 15 kilometers beyond any other friendly forces, with no artillery support. In sterile uniforms - with no insignia or identification, if they were killed or captured, their government would deny their military connection. The enemy had placed a price on their heads and had spies in their Top Secret headquarters known as SOG. SOG had three identical recon ground units along the border areas. This book tells the history of Command and Control Detachment South (CCS). The CCS volunteer warriors and its Air Partners the Army and Air Force helicopter transport and gunship crews who lived and fought together and sometimes died together. This is the first published history of CCS as compiled by its last living commander, some forty years after they were disbanded. It tells of the struggles and intrigue involved in SOGs development as the modern-day legacy of our modern Special Operations Commands. Forbidden to tell of their experiences for over twenty years; their After Action Reports destroyed even before they were declassified surviving veterans team together to tell how Recon men wounded averaged 100 percent; and SOG became the most highly decorated unit in Vietnam and all were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation.

This collection of more than fifty of Fred Craddock's sermons provides a glimpse of a master preacher at work. Amazingly, only one of the sermons was preached from a manuscript written in advance, as Craddock considered a sermon to be an event in the world of sound. As a result, the selections here wonderfully reflect and preserve Craddock's "voice" and engage readers with all the immediacy of the spoken word.

How Does Analysis Cure?

Essays on a Psychoanalytic Method, Psychoanalytic Organizations and Psychoanalysts

By: Fred Busch

Building upon 50 years of clinical experience, Fred Busch addresses a central question facing all psychoanalysts: What is essential to a psychoanalytic curative process, and what are the methods of working that can bring this about? This book investigates the analytic relationship as a process of giving patients the freedom to think the unthinkable (to build representations) and change repeated patterns of action into the possibility of reflection. This entails careful examination of central psychoanalytic concepts such as transference, resistances, and the ethics of countertransference as a guide to a patient’s unconscious, in addition to newer ideas, such as the notion of the analyst as a memory keeper of patients’ lost objects. In its final part, the book presents observations on how analysts function as part of analytic organizations, and the various roles they take on to develop an “analytic identity”. Continuing decades of significant theoretical work on clinical concepts, this book offers a unique perspective on how psychoanalysts and psychotherapists can work effectively to achieve the best possible outcomes for their patients.
