“Who you see is who I am, and what you see is what you get!” How many of us can say these words and mean it? Too many people hide behind masks of pretense, whether it is socially, emotionally, spiritually, or physically simply to gain the approval or acceptance of others. One of the greatest challenges many people face today, especially Christians, is trying to live an authentic (unbogus) life in a world full of fake (bogus) people. Thus, this book is a real eye-opener on the subject of bogusness versus unbogusness. The author gives valuable insight into how to avoid living a bogus life and how to pursue an unbogus life. Having your outer man match your inner man is the goal of this book. This powerfully written book will also challenge you to rise above your unbogus behavior and find true contentment, peace, and self-worth. Finally, this book will give you a game plan to cast out areas of unbogusness in your life that have kept you from living your best life.

A comprehensive first course in Scheme, covering all of its major features: abstraction, functional programming, data types, recursion, and semantic programming. Although the primary goal is to teach students to program in Scheme, this will be suitable for anyone taking a general programming principles course. Each chapter is divided into three sections: core, appendix , and problems. Most essential topics are covered in the core section, but it is assumed that most students will read the appendices and solve most of the problems - all of which require short Scheme procedures. As well as providing a thorough grounding in Scheme, the author discusses different programming paradigms in depth. An important theme throughout is that of "meta-programming", thus providing an insight into topics such as type-checking and overloading which might otherwise be missed.

Does the Bible allow us to deceive? Is it ever right to lie? These are perennial questions that have been discussed and debated by theologians for centuries with little consensus. Entering this conversation, Just Deceivers provides a fresh analysis of this important topic through a comprehensive examination of the motif of deception in the books of Samuel. While many studies have explored deception in other Old Testament texts--especially the patriarchal narratives of Genesis--and a few articles have initiated examination of this motif in Samuel, Just Deceivers builds upon this groundwork and offers an exhaustive treatment of this theme in this important portion of the Hebrew Bible. Newkirk takes the reader through the books of Samuel, investigating every occurrence of deception in the narrative, exploring how the author depicts these various acts of deception, and then synthesizing the results to offer an exegetically based theology of deception. In so doing, this study both challenges commonly held views concerning the Bible's stance on falsehood and illustrates the importance of attending to the sophisticated literary character of biblical narrative.
