In this life, we go through situations that allow us to act. We act mentally then physically. And when we act, there is a reaction. A reaction both mentally, then physically we respond; not always in the correct way, not always with wisdom. People, places and things are affected by our actions: Always whether we are aware of it or not. That is a lot of pressure on a person - to always know that every action has a reaction and that for the most part, all things are affected by our actions. Consider this is exactly that: Consider this before you act and Consider this before you react. Not all of us have someone in our lives that can be that physical voice of reason. A physical confirmation to what God has been guiding us to do. This is a positive realistic approach to consider when you have considered it all, or nothing at all. Dr. B. Elizabeth Short-Clark is president and founder, of Kingdom Kare Christian Counseling, and a Ministry that bears her name. Dr. Short-Clark is on sabbatical from the National Bible College and Seminary where she is an instructor. She is a member of the Temple of Praise, of Washington DC, where she is an Elder, under the leadership of Bishop Glen A. Staples. Dr. Short-Clark is the daughter of Mrs. Arline Short and the late, beloved Mr. Robert H. Short, of St. Mary's County Maryland. Dr. Short-Clark lived and served in ministry, in Philadelphia, PA, for over twenty years. Through the years Dr. Short-Clark has Pastored, preached and taught, and has been tremendously influential in prison ministering of God's Word in Philadelphia. Dr. Short-Clark has travelled throughout the United States, Europe, and Africa, preaching the Word of God.

Award-winning food writer Bee Wilson's secret history of kitchens, showing how new technologies - from the fork to the microwave and beyond - have fundamentally shaped how and what we eat. Since prehistory, humans have braved sharp knives, fire, and grindstones to transform raw ingredients into something delicious -- or at least edible. But these tools have also transformed how we consume, and how we think about, our food. In Consider the Fork, award-winning food writer Bee Wilson takes readers on a wonderful and witty tour of the evolution of cooking around the world, revealing the hidden history of objects we often take for granted. Technology in the kitchen does not just mean the Pacojets and sous-vide machines of the modern kitchen, but also the humbler tools of everyday cooking and eating: a wooden spoon and a skillet, chopsticks and forks. Blending history, science, and personal anecdotes, Wilson reveals how our culinary tools and tricks came to be and how their influence has shaped food culture today. The story of how we have tamed fire and ice and wielded whisks, spoons, and graters, all for the sake of putting food in our mouths, Consider the Fork is truly a book to savor.

Examine the evidence for Christianity and why it is worth considering. Lots of people assume that Christianity is simply a nice story for kids or a niche hobby for weirdos—or worse, unattractively restrictive. In this book, Ben Shaw invites sceptical readers to think again. He outlines seven reasons why Christianity is worth considering—or reconsidering—not least because it offers some thought-provoking and rational answers to our deepest questions. This warm, honest book shows that the Christian message is both more credible and more wonderful than we might have otherwise thought, and calls readers to investigate the person of Jesus for themselves.

*FINALIST FOR THE 2020 GENERAL NONFICTION MINNESOTA BOOK AWARDS* Interested in the origins of the species? Consider the Platypus uses pets such as dogs and cats as well as animal outliers like the axolotl and naked mole rat to wittily tackle mind-bending concepts about how evolution, biology, and genetics work. Consider the Platypus explores the history and features of more than 50 animals to provide insight into our current understanding of evolution. Using Darwin's theory as a springboard, Maggie Ryan Sandford details scientists' initial understanding of the development of creatures and how that has expanded in the wake of genetic sequencing, including the: Peppered Moth, which changed color based on the amount of soot in the London air; California Two-Spotted Octopus, which has the amazing ability to alter its DNA/RNA not over generations but during its lifetime; miniscule tardigrade, which is so hearty it can withstand radiation, lack of water and oxygen, and temperatures as low as -328°F and as high 304 °F; and, of course, the platypus, which has so many disparate features, from a duck's bill to venomous spur to mammary patches, that scientists originally thought it was a hoax. Surprising, witty, and impeccably researched, Sandford describes each animal's significant features and how these have adapted to its environment, such as the zebra finch's beak shape, which was observed by Charles Darwin and is a cornerstone of his Theory of Evolution. With scientifically accurate but charming art by Rodica Prato, Consider the Platypus showcases species as diverse as the sloth, honey bee, cow, brown kiwi, and lungfish, to name a few, to tackle intimidating concepts is a accessible way.
