You may be asking yourself what the Cloud represents. Well, the Cloud is God's Presence. A manifestation of His glory. When God descended on Sinai the place was filled with a cloud. When Jesus was transfigured a cloud appeared above Him, and in it the Voice Of the Father thundered. The cloud is also the place to discover yourself as you fellowship with your Creator. In the Cloud you can dance, sing, paint, play, or just be still. Whether or not you have experienced a personal encounter of the Lord's presence, this book is for you. Although "Dancing In The Cloud" relates to dance, it deals with much more; it invites you to allow yourself to commune with God through movement and stillness, to practice being in His presence in your daily life, and to learn how to let yourself be dazzled by Jesus as you learn to live like Him. It also teaches your soul the art of joyful dancing before Him. This book tells of a powerful encounter from a person who was raised in religion and lived a tormented life, and was set free through a live and vibrant relationship with Jesus. Jesus is still in the business of setting the captives free. The book also narrates unique stories of sharing the testimony of Jesus to a dark world and will inspire you to be bold sharing your faith wherever you go.

"The Internet of today is a far cry from its early promise of a decentralized, democratic network of creativity and innovation. In the past decade, the Internet has fallen under the control of a tiny group of massive companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook. In Read Write Own, tech visionary Chris Dixon argues that the dream of an open network for fostering creativity and entrepreneurship doesn't have to die, and that in fact it can, and must, be saved with blockchain networks, which he vitally separates from the currency-based speculation that it is unfortunately lumped together with - a distinction he calls "The Computer vs The Casino". With lucid and compelling prose - and drawing from his first-hand observations, mental models, and experiences over a 25-year career in the Internet industry - Dixon shows how the Internet has undergone three distinct eras, bringing us to the critical moment we're in today. The first act was the "read era," lasting from 1990 to 2005, in which early Internet networks democratized information. In the "read-write era," 2006-2020, corporate networks democratized publishing. And we are now entering the "read-write-own era," sometimes called web3, in which blockchain networks have begun to democratize ownership, granting power and economic benefits to the participants in the network--not just to massive corporations"--

Amidst war, economic meltdown, and ecological crisis, a "e;new spirit of radicalism is blooming"e; from New York to Cairo, according to Chris Dixon. In Another Politics, he examines the trajectory of efforts that contributed to the radicalism of Occupy Wall Street and other recent movement upsurges. Drawing on voices of leading organizers across the United States and Canada, he delivers an engaging presentation of the histories and principles that shape many contemporary struggles. Dixon outlines the work of activists aligned with anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist, and anti-oppression politics and discusses the lessons they are learning in their efforts to create social transformation. The book explores solutions to the key challenge for today's activists, organizers, fighters, and dreamers: building a substantive link between the work of "e;against,"e; which fights ruling institutions, and the work of "e;beyond,"e; which develops liberatory alternatives.

The South Seas charts the idea of the South Seas in popular cultural productions of the English-speaking world, from the beginnings of the Western enterprise in the Pacific until the eve of the Pacific War. Building on the notion that the influences on the creation of a text, and the ways in which its audience receives the text, are essential for understanding the historical significance of particular productions, Sean Brawley and Chris Dixon explore the ways in which authors' and producers' ideas about the South Seas were ';haunted' by others who had written on the subject, and how they in turn influenced future generations of knowledge producers. The South Seas is unique in its examination of an array of cultural texts. Along with the foundational literary texts that established and perpetuated the South Seas tradition in written form, the authors explore diverse cultural forms such as art, music, theater, film, fairs, platform speakers, surfing culture, and tourism.
