In the past, we have always had a monthly 'Books to Watch' list to let our readers know what new books we're most excited about. But, because those lists can get a little long and unwieldy, the books (and the best intentions to actually read them) are too often forgotten as we progress though the month—especially those being published later in the month. So, last week, we began a new series highlighting five books on pub date (most publishers release all their books on Tuesdays) that we are most interested in.

2015books

These weekly lists are curated by our Editorial & Creative Director, Dylan Schleicher (DJJS), our Marketing Director Blyth Meier (BRM), and our Digital Marketing Specialist Gabbi Cisneros (GMC). We also take this weekly opportunity to let you know what other people in the company are reading, regardless of when it was published. This week, our choices are:

How to Be an Antiracistby Ibram X. Kendi, One World (BRM) | If you, like many, are confused or frustrated by the shifting and often euphemistic language used today about race relations, this is your book. Who better to 'do the basic work of defining the kind of people we want to be in language that is stable and consistent' than the founding director of the Anti-Racist Research and Policy Center at American University? A National Book Award winner and Guggenheim Fellow, Professor Kendi's new book clearly and helpfully shifts our country's discourse from 'non-racist' to 'anti-racist', and is the perfect follow-up read to So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeomo Oluo, our 2018 Personal Development Book of the Year.

Kochland: The Secret History of Koch Industries and Corporate Power in America by Christopher Leonard, Simon & Schuster (DJJS) | Charles and David Koch's fortunes combined surpasses that of the richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, and the companies they oversee are more intimately intertwined in the American economy and in our everyday lives than even Amazon—albeit in more opaque ways. Electric man 2 unblocked everything full. Christopher Leonard's biography of Koch Industries is the story of how they've procured that wealth (and their economic and political influence) that doubles as 'a portrait of the American economy since the 1960s.'

Normal Sucks: How to Live, Learn, and Thrive Outside the Lines by Jonathan Mooney, Henry Holt (DJJS) | Jonathan Mooney didn't need to be fixed. He simply needed to be empowered to use the gifts he had to succeed, rather than be forced into what others defined as 'normal' development. The neuro-diverse writer, advocate, and public speaker, who didn't learn to read until he was twelve years old, has now written a funny, emotional, and eloquent book in the form of a letter to his young sons that reframes the idea of 'normal,' and calls on us all to 'reorient the ways in which we think about diversity, abilities, and disabilities.'

State: A Team, a Triumph, a Transformationby Melissa Isaacson, Agate Midway (DJJS) | With the success of the US women's national soccer team, it's easy to forget that the team has been around for less than 35 years. The passing of Title IX in 1972 made the creation of the team in 1985 possible, and opened the door to so many other women and girls playing sports at all levels—including award-winning sportswriter Mellissa Isaacson. Her new book—the story of her Niles West High School basketball team and their journey to winning the third-ever girls' state basketball championship in Illinois in 1979—is an intimate portrayal of how the chance to play not only changed, but saved so many girls' lives.

The Transpacific Experiment: How China and California Collaborate and Compete for Our Future by Matt Sheehan, Counterpoint (DJJS) | Even amidst an escalating and so-far attritious trade war between China and the United States, there is one state that has acted as a laboratory for the relationship between the two countries—California. Matt Sheehan spent six years examining the 'fluid ecosystem of students, entrepreneurs, investors, immigrants, and ideas bouncing back and forth between the Golden State and the Middle Kingdom.' His book looks at the geopolitical relationship through the lens of those lives, taking us from Silicon Valley and Hollywood to 'democracy protests in Hong Kong to down and out coal towns in Shaanxi Province.'

Charles Ward 'Chuck' Smith (June 25, 1927 – October 3, 2013) was an American pastor who founded the Calvary Chapel movement. Beginning with the 25-person Costa Mesa congregation in 1965, Smith's influence now extends to 'more than 1,000 churches nationwide and hundreds more overseas',[2] some of which are among the largest churches in the United States. He has been called 'one of the most influential figures in modern American Christianity.'[2]

Early life and career[edit]

Charles Ward Smith was born on June 25, 1927, in Ventura, California, to Charles and Maude Smith.[3] He was the second of four children.

After graduating from Santa Ana High School in 1945, Smith graduated from LIFE Bible College and was ordained as a pastor for the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. In the late 1950s, Smith was the campaign manager and worship director for healing evangelist Paul Cain.[citation needed] After being a pastor for a different denomination, he left his denomination to pastor a non-denominational church plant in Corona, California, and eventually moved to a small pre-existing church called Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa, California in December 1965.[4]

Calvary Chapel[edit]

In March 1968, Smith brought into his home the then-18-year-old pentecostalevangelistLonnie Frisbee with his wife Connie. Chuck Smith paired him up with John Higgins who already had a Bible study going for youth; they started a Christian commune called 'The House of Miracles.' John and Lonnie went out into the community to reach its youth with the gospel during the early days of the Jesus movement.[5]

The church in Santa Ana grew and, as of 2006, was attended by 35,000 people and had spawned over 1,000 churches that have branched out as part of the Calvary Chapel Association. Smith has been called 'one of the most influential Christian pastors in Southern California'[6] who 'is known for training other prominent ministers.'[7] Notable ministers who have been mentored by Smith include Skip Heitzig, Mike MacIntosh, and Greg Laurie.[8][non-primary source needed] Smith also launched the radio program, The Word for Today.[citation needed]

At its beginning, Calvary Chapel operated as a cross-cultural missions organization that bridged the 'generation gap' as it existed during the Vietnam War period. Calvary Chapel was a hub of the 'Jesus People' phenomenon that existed at that time and was featured in Time Magazine for its success among 'hippies' and young people. Calvary Chapel pioneered a less formal and contemporary approach in its worship and public meetings; for example, it did outreaches on the beach, and baptisms in the Pacific Ocean.[9] Much of Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) has its roots in Calvary Chapel worship music. Calvary Chapel's rolling commentary-style of preaching kept the Calvary Chapels close to the text of the Bible and was readily understandable by many hearers. Calvary Chapel developed its own internal training early for multiplication of church leaders and pastors; by pioneering a more informal and contemporary style in its church practices, Calvary Chapel reached large numbers in Costa Mesa, CA and expanded easily by adding many pastors and new congregations in many locations. The impact of Chuck Smith and Calvary Chapel on evangelical Christianity is profound, widespread, and largely unheralded. Rather than being a teacher of systems and methods of growing large churches (elements of which frustrated him in his denominational experience), Chuck Smith taught the Bible at pastors' conferences modeling in word and deed what he felt was the critical core of Calvary Chapels.[citation needed]

A documentary, What God Hath Wrought, produced by Screen Savers Entertainment in collaboration with Smith, tells the story of Smith's life, the Calvary Chapel movement and its influence on modern-day Christianity.[10] In the film A Conversation with Chuck Smith (2013) Chuck Smith talks about his battle with lung cancer and other personal topics.

Chuck Smith is the author and co-author of several books; titles of his books include Answers for Today; Calvary Chapel Distinctives; Calvinism, Arminianism & The Word of God; Charisma vs. Charismania; Comfort for Those Who Mourn; Effective Prayer Life; Harvest; Living Water; The Claims of Christ; The Gospel According to Grace; The Philosophy of Ministry of Calvary Chapel; Why Grace Changes Everything; Love: The More Excellent Way; The Final Act; and others.[11]

Controversy[edit]

In his 1978 book End Times, Smith predicted the generation of 1948 would be the last generation, and that the world would end by 1981 at the latest.[12] Smith supported his convictions again in his 1980 manuscript 'Future Survival,' postulating that from his 'understanding of biblical prophecies.. [I am] convinced that the Lord [will come] for His Church before the end of 1981.' He identified that he 'could be wrong' but continued in the same sentence that 'it's a deep conviction in my heart, and all my plans are predicated upon that belief.'[13] Calvary Chapel held a New Year's Eve service in 1981 for their followers to wait for the end to occur in accordance with Smith's prediction. When the world failed to end, many disillusioned followers left the Calvary Chapel movement.[14][15][16][17][18]

Smith attracted criticism for drawing connections between disasters such as the September 11 attacks and divine wrath against homosexuality and abortion.[18][19]

Today In History August 11th

Smith has also been criticized publicly with allegations that he has tolerated financial[20] and sexual[21] improprieties within the Calvary Chapel movement.

August

In 2006, Smith was instrumental in removing his son, Chuck Smith Jr., from ministry in the Calvary Chapel movement. The Los Angeles Times reported that Smith Jr. was dismissed when he raised questions about his father's theological beliefs and philosophy of ministry.[18]

Honors[edit]

In April 2012, Smith received the Men of Character Award from the Orange County Council of the Boy Scouts of America.[citation needed]

Personal life[edit]

On June 19, 1947, six days before his 20th birthday, Smith married Kay Johnson. She served as director of the women's ministry at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa for many years. Smith's four children currently work or have worked in the ministry.[citation needed]

Convert mp3 to itunes format download free for mac free photo editing software. On December 27, 2009, in the early morning hours, Smith suffered a minor stroke in his home and was immediately hospitalized.[7][22][23] He recovered and returned to the ministry.[24][unreliable source?]

Smith announced during the New Years Day 2012 service that he had lung cancer.[6] In June 2013, Smith's doctors found that his lung cancer had morphed from stage three to stage four.[25]

Smith died from lung cancer on October 3, 2013, at his home in Newport Beach, California, at the age of 86.[26][27] He was interred at Fairhaven Memorial Park in Santa Ana, California. After he was buried, his funeral was held at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, where more than 200 churches worldwide planned to show his tribute, live via webcast.[28]
