The fourth in a series on the Middle East, this volume deals with liberalisation. It argues that few countries have been untouched by economic and/or political liberalisation, particularly the Middle East. It looks at Turkey, Egypt and Iraq along with other Middle Eastern states.

The Political Economy of the Middle East: Economic and political liberalisation

This is the first in a series on the Middle East. It covers the issue of how poor capital investment, combined with the few details concerning education in the Middle East, have resulted in the under-utilisation of human resources. It also shows how this failure still affects the region.

Informed by research that reveals destructive parenting patterns are being handed down through most American families (including Christian households), The Parent Adventure looks to the church to help break this cycle and teach moms and dads how to prepare their kids for a lifetime with God. The problem starts when parents raise children based on their personal experiences growing up instead of using the Bible as the timeless, authoritative guide. Although seemingly painful at first, the parental attitude of “letting go” must begin intentionally at birth, keeping in mind that each child’s life is more about knowing God than anything else. With this outlook established, the future-focused mom and dad will move more joyfully through each stage in the adventure of parenting as detailed in the book. Knowing God has a lifelong plan for each family member, parents and kids will grow closer to each other just as sure as they will grow closer to God.

When it was originally published this volume was the first comprehensive survey of the experience of Islamic banking throughout the Muslim world in Turkey, Egypt, Kuwait, Jordan, Sudan, iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Drawing comparisons between the countries in economic terms, it shows that the success of Islamic banks to a large extent reflects the immediate political environment. The complete Islamization of the financial systems of the more fundamentalist countries of Iran and Pakistan is compared with the divide between conventional interest-based systems and the new Islamic banks in Kuwait, Turkey, Egypt, Sudan and Jordan. Islamic Financial Markets explores both international Islamic finance and the national markets in which Islamic banks operate, raising for the first time the issue of competition in Islamic banking. It also looks to the future, to retail development and wholesale possibilities which seem to be the next step forward in Islamic finance. Setting the subject in historical, religious and economic perspective, the book offers a comprehensive survey of the successful adaptation of an ancient financial system to meet the requirements of modern commerce.

Part “Little House” and part “The Waltons,” this funny and warm-hearted memoir of life on a small Missouri farm in the 1950s is told through the eyes of a young girl, the seventeenth of eighteen children, and her sisters, nicknamed Mush and Tom. These delightful stories, wonderfully illustrated with original artwork, recall a more innocent age and, ultimately, eulogize an entire family. Over 150 photos and illustrations.
