"Pawnee & Spike Forever Friends" is a true story that took place on a country farm in North Idaho starting in or around 1958. I was raised in a family of sixteen children. We encountered quite a few things growing up but few compared to the heartwarming and amazing bond that grew between our border collie Spike and our pet deer named Pawnee!

This book tells my personal journey as I have created theaters in churches "empty spaces." I share success stories of doing theater in the church to address a variety of social justice issues. And the steps you will need to take to create a theater in your church.

The power of pi is not immedately evident from a glance at this small Greek letter. Yet the existence of pi has confounded mathematicians and engineers for centuries. What does it mean to have a real number that cannot be stated exactly? What is a number that does not appear to have any recurring pattern? And why does it crop up in unexpected places that have no apparent connection with the circumference of a circle? These questions are not answered in this book, but you do get a glimpse of the phenomenon-real numbers to grapple with. A bit of the history of pi. And a program designed to generate as many digits as you'd like.

...We are fascinated by the fact that we can actually know what those digits (of pi) are. Computer designers and operators have used this calculation to demonstrate the speed and capability of their machines. Newton once entertained himself during a solitary episode by calculating pi to a number of decimal places that he was too embarrassed to admit. A brief history: Pi is a very old number. We know that the Egyptians and the Babylonians knew about the existence of the constant ratio pi, although they didn't know its value nearly as well as we do today. Both had figured out that pi was a little bigger than 3; the Babylonians had an approximation of 3 1/8 (3.125)... Three sections to How Much Pi Do You Want?: 1. history of the search for pi 2. computer program to generate the non-recurring decimal places of pi to however many digits you may desire. 3. Actual table of the first 500,000 digits of pi (it has been "proved" that pi is an irrational number, so there may be no theoretical limit to the calculation). In other words, "how much pi do you want?"

Discover the magnitude of God's grace and how it can impact your life! Grace is one of the most phenomenal, yet least understood, gifts we receive from God. Grace does more than just allow you to be forgiven of your sin--it empowers you to overcome sin! To many, grace is just a doctrine, a spiritual concept. But as you will discover in reading this book, grace is so much more. Grace is unreasonable; it is so miraculous that we cannot make sense of it intellectually. Instead, we must ask God daily to help us walk in a childlike faith so we can simply receive His grace with a grateful heart. This book will guide you in your discovery of grace to: Live life beyond your natural limitations. Learn the distinction between grace and mercy. Discover seven keys for walking in greater measures of peace. Gain the ability to replace condemnation, shame, anxiety, fear, worry, discouragement, and hopelessness with righteousness, peace, and joy. Learn to see yourself and your calling as God Himself sees you. Let grace enable you to fulfill Romans 8:29 in your life: "to be conformed to the image of His Son."
