Image Booster is about empowering young people with knowledge that will help them find focus for their lives. In so doing, they will come to realize their God-given gifts and talents, discover their purpose in life, and ultimately reach their full potential. Lack of finances, encouragement, inspiration, and purpose are big problems facing today's young people, who are searching for something more than the world has to offer them. It is hoped that Image Booster will instill dignity and value in all young people and help them realize that there is more to life than guns, drugs, violence, and a boring life. The twenty-four messages are designed to encourage students to persevere in good works and overcome problems that would hinder them from attaining their ultimate destiny as they try to navigate their complex world. Some of the messages deal with fear, anger, peer pressure, bullying, blessing, service, and choices. The students are challenged to respond to these issues like children of God and, therefore, inspire other young people to emulate their way of dealing with issues. The young people are encouraged to take Jesus as their hero and role model and learn from His example. By doing so, they are able to focus their attention on the new commandment given to them by Jesus Himself. "Love one another as I have loved you."

The Political Economy of Regionalism: The Case of Southern Africa challenges prevailing wisdom, showing how ruling political elites and 'big business' join forces with certain external actors in order to promote market integration and economic globalization, boost regimes, and to satisfy group-specific and even personal interests. Only rarely do these forms of regionalism contribute to the poor and disadvantaged, who instead opt out, and survive through informal economic regionalisms or seek to create regionalisms rooted in civil society.

In the space of a few months, sixteen-year-old Ethan Poe's life has become a complicated mix of facts, theories, and hypotheses. Things he knows beyond doubt: his parents are divorcing, his older brother Kyle is exhibiting alarming behavior, and his best friend is turning into a spiritual fanatic. Then there are the shifting uncertainties-including his feelings toward his father and his desire to both blend in and stand out in his rural Maine hometown. Most pressing of all, there's his attraction to Max Modine, a boy he wants to know much better than he does. Despite Ethan's initial reluctance, he gets pulled into a heated and sometimes violent conflict about whether to introduce Intelligent Design into science classrooms. Family and friends are turning against each other, school is a battleground, and Ethan will have to take a stand. Because some facts are irrefutable and some bonds unbreakable, even when they can't be seen. And once Ethan finds the courage to become who he was meant to be, the outcome could be absolutely extraordinary. . . Praise for the novels of Robin Reardon "Stirring. . .thoughtful and convincing." -Publishers Weekly on Thinking Straight "A compelling story well worth your time. . .Reardon is an author to watch." -Bart Yates, author of The Brothers Bishop on A Secret Edge
