Most American corporations invest money, time, and energy in diversity, equity, and inclusion, popular terms that realistically bear little weight.

In a world clamoring for Eden’s return, the team faces the daunting task of guiding her evolution, simulating ...

At a time when speculative fiction seems less and less far-fetched, Margaret Atwood lends her distinctive voice and singular point of view to the genre in a series of essays that brilliantly illuminates the essential truths about the modern world. This is an exploration of her relationship with the literary form we have come to know as "science fiction”, a relationship that has been lifelong, stretching from her days as a child reader in the 1940s, through her time as a graduate student at Harvard, where she worked on the Victorian ancestor of the form.

The Ape in the Corner Office connects with the day-to-day of the workplace because it helps explain what people are really concerned about: How come he got the wing chair with the gold trim? How can I survive as that big ape's subordinate without becoming a spineless yes-man? Why does being a lone wolf mean being a loser? And, yes, why is it that jerks seem to prosper, at least in the short run?

The ministry of angels is part of our inheritance as believers. Yet, many are not receiving full benefit of their ministry because they don’t know how to activate it on their behalf. From my interaction with today’s Christians, very few have seen or encountered angelic visitations. Many of them are not even aware of angelic presence or don’t even know that they can be around them. This is because there are fewer teachings about angels and many Christians are never taught how to engage walk and work with angels in the first place. In this publication, Apostle Frequency Revelator hands ...

The account of Adam and Eve is more than just an ancient tale; it is the cornerstone of the Christian understanding of human origins, sin, and redemption. Yet, in an age where scientific discoveries offer new insights into the history of humanity, many are left wondering: Can the biblical account of Adam and Eve be reconciled with the evidence provided by genetics, anthropology, and evolutionary theory?

Sólo así podremos alcanzar nuestra humanidad, la cual nos permitirá vivir en la verdad, crear belleza, ser justos, tener compasión.
