Life is shaped by the decisions we make. Good decisions lead to better outcomes in relationships, finances, and dealing with the uncertainties of life. Intelligence and knowledge alone are not adequate in venturing into the unknown future. Wisdom is crucial. But what is wisdom? Biblical wisdom is an acquired skill that leads to living a more satisfying and meaningful life. So, how does one acquire wisdom? In WHO OWNS YOUR HEART?, Dr. Paul Vallee guides the reader through the biblical book of Proverbs, where wisdom is discovered and then communicated through life-learned experience and Divine revelation. At the core of decision making is the nature of our ‘heart.’ It is the core of who we are and must be understood and guarded. Moving through the chapters, certain themes arise that will inspire, instruct, and instill confidence to live a rich and rewarding life. The following are some of the elements that will be considered: • Avoiding life’s most dangerous pitfalls. • Learning how to choose a faithful life partner. • Discovering the power of words. • Insight into how we are influenced and shaped by social pressures. • Building healthy and meaningful relationships. • Creating a healthy approach to finances. • Developing meaningful goals that will shape your future. • Finding out how to live in one’s community and the role of government. • Dealing with life’s injustices. • How to cultivate a meaningful relationship with God. This book is a great devotional tool while reading the book of Proverbs. It can also be used in a Bible study group. Free Study questions are available at www.drpaulvallee.com

Climate change threatens the economy of the United States in myriad ways, including increased flooding and storm damage, altered crop yields, lost labor productivity, higher crime, reshaped public-health patterns, and strained energy systems, among many other effects. Combining the latest climate models, state-of-the-art econometric research on human responses to climate, and cutting-edge private-sector risk-assessment tools, Economic Risks of Climate Change: An American Prospectus crafts a game-changing profile of the economic risks of climate change in the United States. This prospectus is based on a critically acclaimed independent assessment of the economic risks posed by climate change commissioned by the Risky Business Project. With new contributions from Karen Fisher-Vanden, Michael Greenstone, Geoffrey Heal, Michael Oppenheimer, and Nicholas Stern and Bob Ward, as well as a foreword from Risky Business cochairs Michael Bloomberg, Henry Paulson, and Thomas Steyer, the book speaks to scientists, researchers, scholars, activists, and policy makers. It depicts the distribution of escalating climate-change risk across the country and assesses its effects on aspects of the economy as varied as hurricane damages and violent crime. Beautifully illustrated and accessibly written, this book is an essential tool for helping businesses and governments prepare for the future.
