“Picking up where the great philosopher-theologian Francis Schaeffer left off, Henry Patino gives us another tool in the toolbox for standing against the spirit of this age with the power of the Spirit of all ages.” – Cal Thomas (American syndicated columnist, pundit, author and radio commentator) ..”.this is the most comprehensive apologetics series I have ever read.” – Steve Brown (professor at Reformed Theological Seminary, author, and teacher at Key Life ministries) Machine or Man is the first in an apologetics series by Rev. Henry Patino that sets out to address the increasingly rapid moving of global cultures and our education systems away from our Lord and toward a completely humanistic viewpoint. Machine or Man is an artful journey through the evaluation of different worldviews that tackle the human origins of Relativism, Humanism, Existentialism, Naturalism, and the Biblical view of Man. As a student of the late Dr. Francis Schaeffer, Henry Patino approaches each topic logically and methodically and most importantly reasonably. Backed by decades of study and teaching on the topics in this book, in the end, the goal of Machine or Man is simple. “Apologetics is not about debate. It’s not above one-upsmanship. It’s about winning the lost for Christ through love.” – Rev. Henry Patino

Great By Choice
$29.99The new question
Ten years after the worldwide bestseller Good to Great, Jim Collins returns with another groundbreaking work, this time to ask: Why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not? Based on nine years of research, buttressed by rigorous analysis and infused with engaging stories, Collins and his colleague, Morten Hansen, enumerate the principles for building a truly great enterprise in unpredictable, tumultuous, and fast-moving times.The new study
Great by Choice distinguishes itself from Collins’s prior work by its focus not just on performance, but also on the type of unstable environments faced by leaders today.With a team of more than twenty researchers, Collins and Hansen studied companies that rose to greatness-beating their industry indexes by a minimum of ten times over fifteen years-in environments characterized by big forces and rapid shifts that leaders could not predict or control. The research team then contrasted these “10X companies” to a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to achieve greatness in similarly extreme environments.
The new findings
The study results were full of provocative surprises. Such as:The best leaders were not more risk taking, more visionary, and more creative than the comparisons; they were more disciplined, more empirical, and more paranoid.
Innovation by itself turns out not to be the trump card in a chaotic and uncertain world; more important is the ability to scale innovation, to blend creativity with discipline.
Following the belief that leading in a “fast world” always requires “fast decisions” and “fast action” is a good way to get killed.
The great companies changed less in reaction to a radically changing world than the comparison companies.
The authors challenge conventional wisdom with thought-provoking, sticky, and supremely practical concepts. They include: 10Xers; the 20 Mile March; Fire Bullets, Then Cannonballs; Leading above the Death Line; Zoom Out, Then Zoom In; and the SMaC Recipe.Finally, in the last chapter, Collins and Hansen present their most provocative and original analysis: defining, quantifying, and studying the role of luck. The great companies and the leaders who built them were not luckier than the comparisons, but they did get a higher Return on Luck.
This book is classic Collins: contrarian, data-driven, and uplifting. He and Hansen show convincingly that, even in a chaotic and uncer

Great Divorce
$17.99C.S. Lewis takes us on a profound journey through both heaven and hell in this engaging allegorical tale. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis introduces us to supernatural beings who will change the way we think about good and evil. In The Great Divorce C.S. Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The writer, in a dream, finds himself in a bus which travels between Hell and Heaven. This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil which takes issue with William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
