Watch the video below to see a snippet of how  Nikil Saval  chronicles how office space came to be from big rooms with closed doors to several tiny cubicles in a large hall. You can find a more comprehensive analysis of the modern office phenomenon in his book, Cubed .   Cubed: A Secret History of the Workplace: Nikil Saval: Books ISBN : 0385536577 ISBN-13 : 9780385536578

Free Audiobook: Evangelism & the Sovereignty of God by J.I. Packer

Image
If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism imply that God is not really sovereign at all? J.I. Packer shows in this classic study how both of these attitudes are false. In a careful review of the biblical evidence, he shows how a right understanding of God's sovereignty is not so much a barrier to evangelism as an incentive and powerful support for it. J. I. Packer is author of the best selling Christian classic Knowing God. He is Board of Governors Professor of Theology at Regent College in Vancouver.
