Part One: Our Story This book is the story of the journey my siblings and I took to honor our parents. The Bible says we are "to honor our father and our mother," and Our Story reflects what that journey looked like for us. Everyone's journey will be unique to them, and their circumstances may not look like ours at all, and that is okay; it shouldn't look like ours. We came together as a family and made the decision to care for them to the best of our ability to the end, and although the journey was long and we grew weary along the way, the Lord looked at our hearts and made up for everything we lacked. He was the strength that saw us through to the end, and for that, we are forever grateful. Part Two: His Story From the time I began to pen this story, the world already lacked honor and respect for so many things on so many levels, but by the time I finished the book, the world had gone into a downward spiral of complete chaos and utter disregard for people and things I never imagined seeing in my lifetime. Lack of honor and respect for just about everything has begun to take over society. Who would have believed America could be so shaken and turned upside down with turmoil of this magnitude in such a short period of time? I believe entire generations have no idea what "to honor or respect" even looks like, hence adding to the chaos and mayhem we are seeing today in our cities and on our streets. All the more reason, we need to come together and fight this atrocity gripping our nation. I believe we, as individuals and corporately as a nation, are being called to honor in this hour.

R. K. Peet Dep. of Botany, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, N. C. 27514, USA Robert Whittaker's contributions to ecology were many and remarkably varied. His publication record will long stand as a monument to his greatness, and whatever we do to honor him will likely be rather small in comparison. Less well known were his personal interactions and the impact they had on the development of ecology as well as individual scientists. Over the years he touched many of us and we felt not just a professional but also a deep personal loss in his passing. After his death I was contacted by numerous colleagues who wondered what they might do to honor him. Whittaker had long served on the editorial board of Vegetatio, which prompted Eddy van der Maarel to suggest that a series of papers in the journal might be a fitting memorial, and so this project was conceived. Whittaker was a master of synthesis and during his career he published numerous review papers which showed clearly how his work related to and built on that of others. For this reason it seemed inappropriate and redundant to solicit papers reviewing areas to which Whittaker made important contributions. Instead, I chose to solicit research papers illustrating current applications of approaches Whittaker developed and showing a few of the recent advances which have grown directly from his pioneering work.

Megachurch pastor Allen Jackson invites readers on a 100-day adventure of experiencing God through ten biblical practices that will reignite their faith and transform their lives. Many Christians experience low points in their faith, times when their spiritual lives have grown cold, stagnant, or routine. They feel frustrated and desperate to reconnect with God. Yet encouragement alone is not enough. We need God's power to bring transformation, and we need specific tools and a focused intent to know the Lord. Drawing upon years of pastoral ministry and his own experience, Allen Jackson has developed a 100-day plan to reinvigorate a believer's life, organized around ten declarations of intent, including: I Intend to Grow Spiritually, I Intend to Read the Gospels I Intend to Pray Daily I Intend to Honor God in My Home, and I Intend to Work with Integrity. A simple investment of twenty minutes a day will create an unstoppable momentum in readers' lives. Their hearts are opened to new possibilities with God where his purposes unfold and where the fruit of his rewards are found.
