Whether you''re in college, or about to enter college, this book is for you.College is one of the most exciting and meaningful times in life. You make new friends, many of whom will last a lifetime. You experience new freedoms: no curfews, no chores, or asking your parents for permission to go places. However, for all the exciting things college offers, I''m sure you''re also wrestling with some big questions-perhaps even some fear or anxiety. Who am I? Will I succeed academically? What do I really believe?One key thing separates an unfulfilling college experience from a life-changing one: the choices you make. These choices will ultimately determine whether you thrive in college or it ends up being a major disappointment. The best way to prepare yourself to make these crucial decisions is to think through them now.As someone who navigated the college season myself, and who has helped guide my three kids through it, I''ve written this book to help you prepare for what lies ahead. Without question the truths I share here have made a significant difference in my own life. My hope is that this book will make you wiser and equip you to better navigate your own journey through the college experience.-Richard E. Simmons III

After battling with depression, anxiety, rejection and every form of abuse you can think of - some times self-inflected and other times from the hands of those that should have protected me - and now I get to enjoy the miracle of a life full of peace, love, joy, hope, laughter and a future. I wrote this book because I want you to experience and enjoy those things too. Imagine a day when anger does not rule your every decision, or picture having the ability to see and receive love, would not that be amazing? Are you not tired of running, hiding and pretending that everything is well when you are dying inside, screaming at the top of your lungs hoping that someone, anyone would rescue you? How do I know you feel that way because I spent way too long feeling exactly the same way. The Miracle Child is not just another story of redemption, forgiveness and restoration but also a story full of hope for someone just like you who is desperately seeking an answer, an absolution from their iniquities and the kind of unconditional love I found in the last place I thought I would but that turned out to be JUST what I needed. I know, I know, it sounds too good to be true, I thought so too. However, when my transformation became permanent and profound all the doubt and disbelief evaporated allowing me to become the man my Father created me to be. This is not a preachy, judgmental, you-are-going-to-hell-kind of a book but a story of unfailing love, purpose, meaning, and everlasting life. It is my hope that after reading this book you will see that you too can find what you have been looking for. Let your guard down, open your heart and see what has been right in front of you the whole time: acceptance and a life worth living.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO, my brother Dan recommended I read Richard E. Simmons'' book, Reflections on the Existence of God. I was intrigued by the book''s brief essays and timely reflections on the climate of our culture. I have been educating students for 44 years and currently teach an apologetics class to tenth graders at The Covenant School in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Reason for God, by Tim Keller, had been my primary text. With the encouragement of several students, who also read Reflections on the Existence of God, I decided it was time to try something new. I contacted Mr. Simmons to see if he had written a study guide to accompany his book. His response was brief and a bit of a challenge - no I haven''t, maybe you would like to write one. He also expressed a strong desire to get this book into the hands of teens and college age students! During this school year, my tenth-grade classes, the class of 2024, spent time reading and discussing Reflections on the Existence of God. One of their ongoing assignments was to create a list of questions from each section. We were after "essential questions", ones that cause you to think a bit more deeply and ones that cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. We discussed the text and debated which of the submitted questions were the best. This study guide can be used in a variety of settings-for group and individual study, family worship times, college ministry studies, or as a course curriculum for private and home education. It is also a valuable tool to equip you to engage with skeptics, friends or family struggling with doubt, using thought-provoking questions and conversation. In my classes, I assign a chapter or a smaller section to read for homework. They are to highlight or take notes. I ask for feedback from their reading and then use my questions to engage in a discussion which hopefully leads them into a higher level of thinking and application.

Most of the natural disasters we face have a beginning and an end. Once they are over, the damage is assessed and the rebuilding begins. There is at the very least some degree of certainty about the future, at least what it might look like. This however is not the case with the coronavirus pandemic. We do not know when or how this is going to end and consequently are forced to admit that we are not in control. Furthermore, if you are in a high risk category, whether by age or an underlying health condition, you face daily the possibility of serious illness or even death.This booklet is to help you, the reader, experience peace in the times we are living. I hope and pray you will be blessed by it.

The combination of the COVID-19 Pandemic and global trade tensions seem likely to make 2020 / 2021 a turning point in the global economy of the same importance as the Great Depression of the 1930''s and combined breakdown of the Bretton Woods system and Oil Crisis of the 1970''s. Post 1980 liberalization (especially in capital markets and trade flows) plus moves towards product standardization have led to rapid globalization, with multi-national corporation Foreign Direct Investment playing a key development role.Starting with the financial crash of 2008, running through the decade of developed market austerity and into the trade tensions of recent years; the sudden shock event of the Covid-19 Pandemic has crystalised the challenging of base economic assumptions in the developed world. Developed nation consumer behaviour is shifting at an unprecedented speed, pressures are building for companies to “re-shore” activity, robotics and automation are making such re-shoring cost effective, governments are incurring unthinkable debt ratios and even the IMF is challenging the previous “Washington Consensus” liberalisation and debt reduction model.This note develops these themes to paint the picture of a “Post Pandemic World”
