In this magisterial book, Vaclav Smil offers systematic investigation of growth in nature and society, from tiny organisms to the trajectories of empires and civilizations.

In GOD, I Know YOU Got This, But..., we settled something a lot of us didn't want to hear: worry is a sin. Not a personality trait. Not just how you're wired. A sin — the same as any other place we've decided we don't trust God with something. Think on These Things picks up exactly where that conviction leaves off — not with more guilt, but with a plan. Rooted in Philippians 4: 8, this book walks through Paul's list of what to think on instead of worry: whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy.

GOD, I Know YOU Got This, But... The Harmful Sin of Worry is a faith-based nonfiction book for Christians who love God, trust the Word, and still find themselves awake at 2:47 a.m. running a full threat assessment on their lives.

Drawing from Matthew 6, Philippians 4, and other key scriptures, author Stone Green walks readers through what worry actually is, why it is spiritually harmful, and how to replace the anxiety spiral with genuine, scripture-rooted peace.
