Book excerpt: According to the media, the church is rapidly shrinking, both in numbers and in effectiveness. But the good news is, much of the bad news is wrong. Sociologist Bradley R. E. Wright uncovers what's really happening in the church: evangelicals are more respected by secular culture now than they were ten years ago; divorce rates of Christians are lower than those who aren't affiliated with a religion; young evangelicals are active in the faith. Wright reveals to readers why and how statistics are distorted, and shows that God is still effectively working through his people today.

Book Synopsis Why Everyone (Else) Is a Hypocrite by : Robert Kurzban
Download or read book Why Everyone (Else) Is a Hypocrite written by Robert Kurzban and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-27 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evolutionary psychology behind human inconsistency We're all hypocrites. Why? Hypocrisy is the natural state of the human mind. Robert Kurzban shows us that the key to understanding our behavioral inconsistencies lies in understanding the mind's design. The human mind consists of many specialized units designed by the process of evolution by natural selection. While these modules sometimes work together seamlessly, they don't always, resulting in impossibly contradictory beliefs, vacillations between patience and impulsiveness, violations of our supposed moral principles, and overinflated views of ourselves. This modular, evolutionary psychological view of the mind undermines deeply held intuitions about ourselves, as well as a range of scientific theories that require a "self" with consistent beliefs and preferences. Modularity suggests that there is no "I." Instead, each of us is a contentious "we"--a collection of discrete but interacting systems whose constant conflicts shape our interactions with one another and our experience of the world. In clear language, full of wit and rich in examples, Kurzban explains the roots and implications of our inconsistent minds, and why it is perfectly natural to believe that everyone else is a hypocrite.

Book Synopsis Hypocrisy by : Charles Douglas Dantzler
Download or read book Hypocrisy written by Charles Douglas Dantzler and published by Page Publishing, Inc. This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hypocrisy: An Oblivious Discriminatory Practice that Can Kill, Apostle Charles Dantzler prophetically raises his voice to put an end to the “hypocritical and discriminatory application of God’s Word that is so often found in and out of the church which drives people out or keeps them from coming in.” By combining gut-wrenching, edgy, true stories, surprising statistics, glossaries of terminologies that set things in order, and a strong Word of faith foundation, Brother Dantzler challenges the Body of Christ, both affirming and nonaffirming, to come up higher in excellence, compassion, and authenticity. He is overturning the tables of the hypocritical religious community and its usage of scripture to destroy lives. After reading this and having my own responses of tears, anger, laughter, and Holy Spirit–filled inspiration, I receive the challenge, once again, to come up higher and press in to the things that I know to be true and stand against the spirit of hypocrisy that destroys so many lives. —Bishop Randall Morgan, Covenant Network, Atlanta, Georgia Charles Dantzler has obtained an associate’s degree in business administration accounting in 2010 after twenty-five years of being away from school. He earned a bachelor of arts degree in computer information systems from Baker College-Flint campus. In addition, after founding and pastoring a church in Flint, Michigan, for thirty-two years, he retired from pastoring but not ministry in August of 2016. He now is a published author of five books and a couple of workbooks, which includes his very telling autobiography, Let the Truth Be Told: My Struggles, Your Struggles, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Book Synopsis Silencing a Whistleblower by : Cobus de Swardt
Download or read book Silencing a Whistleblower written by Cobus de Swardt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how insufficient policies can lead to the alleged abuse of power in organisations. When independent ethical structures and processes are missing or weak, practices of abuse, misconduct and cover-ups can easily arise at the leadership level. Even organisations that specialise in good governance are no exception, as illustrated by this case study on arguably the world’s most influential anti-corruption NGO, Transparency International (TI). Written by the former Managing Director of Transparency International, this book chronicles its ethical breakdown over a 5-year period starting in 2015. By comparing TI’s whistleblower policies with its internal whistleblower practices, it demonstrates how the organisation gradually became trapped in a vicious cycle of secrecy, corruption and lies. The author chronologically tracks TI’s practices, drawing on 12 whistleblower complaints filed with TI since 2017, as well as communications with TI, international donor agencies, and other international civil society organisations from 2015 to 2020 to do so. The chronological format aptly reveals the snowball effect that ethical weaknesses can create over time, as well as the emotional warfare that whistleblowers are typically subjected to. The unfolding chronology also shows what it means to be a whistleblower for an organisation that avoids public transparency, reporting on and scrutiny of its own practices.

Book Synopsis Do As I Say (Not As I Do) by : Peter Schweizer
Download or read book Do As I Say (Not As I Do) written by Peter Schweizer and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2006-10-10 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I don’t own a single share of stock.” —Michael Moore Members of the liberal left exude an air of moral certitude. They pride themselves on being selflessly committed to the highest ideals and seem particularly confident of the purity of their motives and the evil nature of their opponents. To correct economic and social injustice, liberals support a whole litany of policies and principles: progressive taxes, affirmative action, greater regulation of corporations, raising the inheritance tax, strict environmental regulations, children’s rights, consumer rights, and much, much more. But do they actually live by these beliefs? Peter Schweizer decided to investigate in depth the private lives of some prominent liberals: politicians like the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, the Kennedys, and Ralph Nader; commentators like Michael Moore, Al Franken, Noam Chomsky, and Cornel West; entertainers and philanthropists like Barbra Streisand and George Soros. Using everything from real estate transactions, IRS records, court depositions, and their own public statements, he sought to examine whether they really live by the principles they so confidently advocate. What he found was a long list of glaring contradictions. Michael Moore denounces oil and defense contractors as war profiteers. He also claims to have no stock portfolio, yet he owns shares in Halliburton, Boeing, and Honeywell and does his postproduction film work in Canada to avoid paying union wages in the United States. Noam Chomsky opposes the very concept of private property and calls the Pentagon “the worst institution in human history,” yet he and his wife have made millions of dollars in contract work for the Department of Defense and own two luxurious homes. Barbra Streisand prides herself as an environmental activist, yet she owns shares in a notorious strip-mining company. Hillary Clinton supports the right of thirteen-year-old girls to have abortions without parental consent, yet she forbade thirteen-year-old Chelsea to pierce her ears and enrolled her in a school that would not distribute condoms to minors. Nancy Pelosi received the 2002 Cesar Chavez Award from the United Farm Workers, yet she and her husband own a Napa Valley vineyard that uses nonunion labor. Schweizer’s conclusion is simple: liberalism in the end forces its adherents to become hypocrites. They adopt one pose in public, but when it comes to what matters most in their own lives—their property, their privacy, and their children—they jettison their liberal principles and embrace conservative ones. Schweizer thus exposes the contradiction at the core of liberalism: if these ideas don’t work for the very individuals who promote them, how can they work for the rest of us?
Book Synopsis Great American Hypocrites by : Glenn Greenwald
Download or read book Great American Hypocrites written by Glenn Greenwald and published by Crown. This book was released on 2008-10-07 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A takedown of the GOP’s deceitful propaganda machine from the blogger of Salon’s Unclaimed Territory and the author of the New York Times bestsellers How Would a Patriot Act? and A Tragic Legacy. Ever since the cowboy image of Ronald Reagan was sold to Americans, the Republican Party has used the same John Wayne imagery to support its candidates and take elections. We all know how they govern, but the right-wing propaganda machine is very adept at hijacking debate and marketing their candidates as effectively as the Marlboro Man. For example: Myth: The Republican nominee is an upstanding, regular guy who shares the values of the common man. Reality: He divorced his first wife in order to marry a young multimillionaire heiress whose family then funded his political career. Myth: Republicans are strong on defense and will keep us safe. Reality: They prey on fears, and their endless wars make America far less secure. Myth: Republicans are the party of fiscal restraint and small, limited government. Reality: Soaring deficits, unchecked presidential power, and an increasingly invasive surveillance state are par for their course. The first book to dissect the Republican Cult of Personality and leave it openly exposed in its unabashed, shameful depravity, Great American Hypocrites is a deeply necessary call-out to Democrats to attack the GOP with their competitor’s very own weapons. Praise for Great American Hypocrites “Intelligent, insightful.” —Daily Kos “Glenn Greenwald has done it again.” —Alan Colmes “Glenn Greenwald is a treasure.” —BuzzFlash

Book Synopsis Political Hypocrisy by : David Runciman
Download or read book Political Hypocrisy written by David Runciman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What kind of hypocrite should voters choose as their next leader? The question seems utterly cynical. But, as David Runciman suggests, it is actually much more cynical to pretend that politics can ever be completely sincere. Political Hypocrisy is a timely, and timeless, book on the problems of sincerity and truth in politics, and how we can deal with them without slipping into hypocrisy ourselves. Runciman draws on the work of some of the great truth-tellers in modern political thought--Hobbes, Mandeville, Jefferson, Bentham, Sidgwick, and Orwell--and applies his ideas to different kinds of hypocritical politicians from Oliver Cromwell to Hillary Clinton. He argues that we should accept hypocrisy as a fact of politics--the most dangerous form of political hypocrisy is to claim to have a politics without hypocrisy. Featuring a new foreword that takes the story up to Donald Trump, this book examines why, instead of vainly searching for authentic politicians, we should try to distinguish between harmless and harmful hypocrisies and worry only about the most damaging varieties.
