Dr. Whetstone has written a much-needed book that gives us a practical, clear approach to ethical decision making. I know of no other book on leadership that proves its value so remarkably by melding theory, method, and hands-on practice-and all from a Christian perspective. As a growing array of stakeholders exert pressure, our institutions are pushed and pulled between competing measures of success. Christian character in our students, high enrollment, financial health, employable students, and accreditation are only a few we could name. Yet within this milieu, we want to be faithful to our calling to serve Christ. How does a Christian administrator make a good, ethical decision amid the complexity? Whetstone suggests a way through while continually challenging us to be the "light for the dark side." This book should be required reading for all Christian college and university teachers.- Dr. Beth M. Doriani, former dean, College of Arts & Sciences, Eastern UniversityEducators, administrators, and faculty of Christian institutions should, and can, serve their institution's mission according to a God-honoring ethic. But this is not easy. Teaching and research faculty commonly refer to their administration-the president, provost, and deans-as the Dark Side. Faculty members appointed to administrative positions are sometimes considered traitors for going over to the Dark Side. The twelve cases offered in this book are based on actual situations involving relations and tensions among university presidents, provosts, deans, department chairs, and other full-time and adjunct faculty members. Questions accompanying each case seek to guide rational discussion of ethical issues involving conflicts of interest, hiring and termination, communication practice, new program development, and relations among students, faculty, and consultants.

Pakistan is the only country to be created in the name of Islam. Due to the movement led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the Indian subcontinent's struggle for independence, Pakistan was created in 1947 as an independent homeland for Indian Muslims. After the announcement of British exit from India, Muslims were anxious over the prospect of universal suffrage and majority rule. They would be overwhelmed by the Hindu majority. Inevitably, they successfully secured the division of India into two separate sovereign states - India and Pakistan. Tracing the historical, social, and economic rationale for the creation of Pakistan, Apocalypse 1947 is the author's personal account of his experience and recollection of the events leading to the partition of the Indian subcontinent into two separate countries and the following aftermath. Events unfold chronologically, written by an eyewitness to it all. Drawing heavily on scholarly contributions by authors writing on subjects relating to his story, Chowdhry chose writers with non-South Asian origination. He endeavors to dispel untruths by authors hired to malign Pakistan. This book strives for an accurate determination of responsibility in each case for actions by individuals and entities. About the Author Khalid Chowdhry was an eyewitness to the 1947 division of the Indian subcontinent, creating present-day Pakistan.
