A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2020 Winner of the Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence “A comically dark coming-of-age story about growing up on the South Side of Chicago, but it’s also social commentary at its finest, woven seamlessly into the work . . . Bump’s meditation on belonging and not belonging, where or with whom, how love is a way home no matter where you are, is handled so beautifully that you don’t know he’s hypnotized you until he’s done.” —Tommy Orange, The New York Times Book Review In this alternately witty and heartbreaking debut novel, Gabriel Bump gives us an unforgettable protagonist, Claude McKay Love. Claude isn’t dangerous or brilliant—he’s an average kid coping with abandonment, violence, riots, failed love, and societal pressures as he steers his way past the signposts of youth: childhood friendships, basketball tryouts, first love, first heartbreak, picking a college, moving away from home. Claude just wants a place where he can fit. As a young black man born on the South Side of Chicago, he is raised by his civil rights–era grandmother, who tries to shape him into a principled actor for change; yet when riots consume his neighborhood, he hesitates to take sides, unwilling to let race define his life. He decides to escape Chicago for another place, to go to college, to find a new identity, to leave the pressure cooker of his hometown behind. But as he discovers, he cannot; there is no safe haven for a young black man in this time and place called America. Percolating with fierceness and originality, attuned to the ironies inherent in our twenty-first-century landscape, Everywhere You Don’t Belong marks the arrival of a brilliant young talent.

A Christian is sent out as an ambassador of Christ. But where? And for what purpose? Live Your Assignment: Being Christ's Ambassador in 7 Spheres of Life unpacks God's highest purpose for the Christian life, which is much more radical and transformative than living a comfortable, spiritual life. This book echoes some of the work of Os Guinness’s The Call, and challenges us, as disciple of Jesus, to further awaken ourselves to the tasks as representatives of God himself, and ministers of reconciliation. Phil presents God-given assignments in 7 key spheres of life; the self, creation, household, fellowship, city, nation, and world. It is through these assignments, which God gives to all those who love him, that God is filling the universe with his glory. Phil presents a unique angle on discipleship and life-calling/vocation in this book. He challenges followers of Jesus to apply these principles to their lives, as he has to his own as an individual, son, husband, father, pastor, mission leader, and servant in the wider body of Christ through the EFC and WEA. This book is a great resource for everyone seeking to bring glory to God in the whole of life.

This book is about mastering Excuses. Excuses are weapons of defeat in life. This book is about responsibility and the mission. It is about identity and destiny. Part of the power of taking responsibility for your actions is that you silence the negative, unhelpful voice in your head. When you spend your thinking time on success and goal accomplishment, instead of on making excuses, you free up the emotional space formerly inhabited by negativity.

This is the seventh edition of the leading work on transnational and comparative commercial, financial, and trade law, covering a wide range of complex topics in the modern law of international commerce, finance and trade. As a guide for students and practitioners it has proven to be unrivalled. The work is divided into three volumes, each of which can be used independently or as part of the complete work. Volume 2 deals with the transnationalisation of contract; movable and intangible property law; and the transformation of the models of contract and movable property in commercial and financial transactions between professionals in the international flow of goods, services, money, information, and technology. In this transnational legal order, the emphasis in the new law merchant or modern lex mercatoria of contract and movable property turns to risk management, asset liquidity, and transactional and payment finality. Common law and civil law concepts are compared and future directions indicated. The potential, effects, and challenges of the blockchain are noted, so far especially for the carriage of goods by sea. All three volumes may be purchased separately or as part of a single set.
