Germs, Genes, & Civilization: How Epidemics Shaped Who We Are Today, by David P. Clark, is free once again in the Kindle store and from Barnes and Noble. If you haven't picked this one up, it's a good read (at least, on micro-biology major told me so).

Book Description
The Stunning Hidden Interconnections Between Microbes and Humanity.

AD 452: Attila the Hun stands ready to sack Rome. No one can stop him--but he walks away. A miracle? No...dysentery. Microbes saved the Roman Empire. Nearly a millennium later, the microbes of the Black Death ended the Middle Ages, making possible the Renaissance, western democracy, and the scientific revolution. Soon after, microbes ravaged the Americas, paving the way for their European conquest.

Again and again, microbes have shaped our health, our genetics, our history, our culture, our politics, even our religion and ethics. This book reveals much that scientists and cultural historians have learned about the pervasive interconnections between infectious microbes and humans. It also considers what our ongoing fundamental relationship with infectious microbes might mean for the future of the human species.

From the Back Cover
And it’s getting smaller. In this global village, information about the needs of people over there is only a hyperlink away from over here. Life in this connected world has greatly complicated the answer to a once-simple question: Who is my neighbor?

Steve Moore believes that search engines like Google not only symbolize and supercharge globalization but actually point the way forward as we try to make sense of our response to the needs of others. What if you could PageRank the God-ordained passions that connect you with opportunities for meaningful service? This liberating lifestyle would be free from the guilt of inaction and the messiah complex of overcommitment. It is not limited to missionaries or aid workers or spiritual first responders. It is for ordinary people like me and you.

Free Book (Kindle) - Welcome to College

Welcome to College: A Christ-Follower's Guide for the Journey, by Jonathan Morrow, is free in the Kindle store.

Book Description
In this engaging guide, Jonathan Morrow encourages students to consider and engage the issues they will face in the dorm, on campus, and in the college classroom. A great gift idea for all high school graduates!

“What will you do with your life?” One huge, frightening question! In college, whether you know it or not, you answer this question every day with each decision. That’s why it’s important to know how you will handle college before you find yourself in the thick of it. College is a great time, with new friends and new experiences, but it is also a time that will shape your future.

How do you grow spiritually? How do you share your faith in a hostile environment? How do you manage your time so that you can study and have fun? Is all truth relative? Are there good reasons to be a Christian? What about alcohol? How should you think about dating and sex as a Christian?

Jonathan Morrow tackles these questions and other tough issues that arise during the college years. Grounded in his own experience as well as biblical truth, Morrow writes quick, easy to read chapters packed with good advice. Each chapter is summarized into “big ideas” and includes a handy list of related resources.
