Our friendship is going swimmingly until I accidentally spill my beans to a reporter over too much tequila, and now the world seems to think me and Nathan belong together. (I’m not crying, I’m just peeling an onion.) Nothing but good old-fashioned, no-touching-the-sexiest-man-alive, platonic friendship for us! Everything is exactly how I like it! Yes. The first step is admitting, right? Except, I can never admit it to him because he clearly doesn’t see me that way, and the last thing I want is for things to get weird between us.

You'll also learn which approaches are too risky to save and are actually more damaging than a total lack of any security. This book sheds light on these blatant risks and provides alternate techniques that can help improve your current situation. Some of the field's premier risk management approaches actually create more risk than they mitigate, and questionable methods have been duplicated across industries and embedded in the products accepted as gospel. This book expands upon that premise and draws from The Failure of Risk Management to sound the alarm in the cybersecurity realm. Hubbard opened the business world's eyes to the critical need for better measurement. In his best-selling book How to Measure Anything, author Douglas W.

I’ve spent 20 years either participating in, facilitating, or leading women’s Bible studies. Why is this topic so important in the church today? Who wouldn’t want to spend time digging into that? Most importantly, I began to realize that it was a revelation of the nature and character of God from start to finish. As I began gaining and employing good study habits, Scripture began yielding rich treasure in a way it hadn’t before. Most of us formed our beliefs based on what someone said about the Bible, rather than taking it on its own terms. We were given devotional materials and topical studies, but we were rarely asked to think hard about how our beliefs were informed by the Bible. As I entered college, I began to notice that women were rarely asked to actually study Scripture. My childhood was marked by time spent in seven different denominations-a range of experience that left me with the conviction that knowing the Word was the only sure means of discerning truth from error. How did the topic of Bible literacy become so important to you? I corresponded with Jen Wilkin, author of Women of the Word(Crossway, 2014) and None Like Him(Crossway, 2016), about why the subject of Bible literacy is so relevant, what tools she uses, and more. ![]() ![]() It was the deep dark, unexplored except for robotic visitors.
