About the Book

For the past twenty years Too Busy Not to Pray has stood as a classic on prayer, helping Christians all over the world slow down to draw near to God.

During those years, the world certainly hasn't slowed down. If anything, the pace, intensity and number of distractions have only increased Brokenness and pain seem to have increased as well, with news of civil war, poverty, broken families and sex-trafficking touching us daily. The urgent need for prayer is clear, but busyness still keeps many of us from finding time to pray. Two truths haven't changed in twenty years: God is the same powerful, just, holy God he's always been; and true prayer--prayer that changes us and allows us to participate in God's work in the world--can't happen on the fly. So Bill Hybels once again offers us his practical, time-tested ideas on slowing down to pray. Revised throughout and including a new introduction and new chapter on prayer and compassion for the world, this twentieth-anniversary edition of Too Busy Not to Pray calls both young and old to make prayer a priority, and broadens our vision for what our eternal, powerful God does when his people slow down to pray..

Most people are unaware that environmental problems such as climate change can be easily avoided, at a profit, through the intelligent application of appropriate technology. The Carbon Buster's Home Energy Handbook describes how to achieve this goal in the residential field.

The first book in North America to provide a detailed carbon accounting of a family's carbon emissions and how to reduce them, it systematically analyzes energy costs and evaluates which measures yield the highest returns for the environment and the pocketbook. It provides answers to questions such as:

Which measure is more effective: putting solar panels on your roof or buying a hybrid car?
Where do I need to invest first: in high-efficiency shower heads or solar tubes?
Is a $500 fridge that uses 800 kWh of power per year a good buy?

The book allows individuals to quickly and accurately assess which products are a good deal and which aren't. It systematically analyzes residential carbon emissions and energy costs and prioritizes solutions based on highest carbon reductions and monetary returns, yielding results that are often surprising. The book enables readers to dramatically reduce their carbon emissions-far below the levels targeted under the Kyoto Protocol. At the same time, readers implementing the recommendations will save an average of $15,000 in energy costs over the next five years..

The results of a Duke University study recently published in the "New England Journal of Medicine" indicate that of the nearly 400,000 people in the U.S. each year who undergo a bypass operation using a heart-lung machine, an estimated forty percent risk a substantial decrease in mental ability within five years after the surgery.

Dr. Elmer Cranton published "Bypassing Bypass" in 1984 as a comprehensive introduction to EDTA chelation therapy, which opens blocked arteries without invasive surgery. The book became increasingly popular among consumers and health care providers seeking a safer, noninvasive, and lower-cost alternative to the traditional bypass surgery. With the advancements in medical technology, scientific research, and an increase in the number of practitioners offering chelation therapy, Dr. Cranton knew that an updated, expanded edition was needed. "Bypassing Bypass Surgery" will bring readers up to date on the latest studies and findings regarding chelation therapy and its current status in the medical community..
