Description
High-Speed Empire: Chinese Expansion and the Future of Southeast AsiaThe story of the world's most audacious infrastructure project. Less than a decade ago, China did not have a single high speed train in service. Today, it owns a network of 14,000 miles of high speed rail, far more than the rest of the world combined. Now, China is pushing its tracks into Southeast Asia, reviving a century old colonial fantasy of an imperial railroad stretching to Singapore; and kicking off a key piece of the One Belt One Road
The story of the world's most audacious infrastructure project.Less than a decade ago, China did not have a single high-speed train in service. Today, it owns a network of 14,000 miles of high-speed rail, far more than the rest of the world combined. Now, China is pushing its tracks into Southeast Asia, reviving a century-old colonial fantasy of an imperial railroad stretching to Singapore; and kicking off a key piece of the One Belt One Road initiative, which has a price tag of $1 trillion and, reaches inside the borders of more than 60 countries.
The Pan-Asia Railway portion of One Belt One Road could transform Southeast Asia, bringing shiny Chinese cities, entire economies, and waves of migrants where none existed before. But if it doesn't succeed, that would be a cautionary tale about whether a new superpower, with levels of global authority unimaginable just a decade ago, can pull entire regions into its orbit simply with tracks, sweat, and lots of money. Journalist Will Doig traveled to Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore to chronicle the dramatic transformations taking place -- and to find out whether ordinary people have a voice in this moment of economic, political, and cultural collision.

Daily devotional with ease.
Format: Imitation Leather
This is a great little devotional book for men. I bought two, one for me and one for my son. I keep mine at my desk at work and read it each morning and I enjoy the insightful quotes and verses that help me start my day. It truly only takes about a minute or two to read through everything and the verses are actually written out on the page with the reference. I know there are a lot of devotionals out there that you can select from, but I like this one because it’s small and compact and acutely directed towards men. The small size is perfect, the price is excellent, and the daily devotionals are spot on.

Easy and fun to read! Cute and small, easy to travel with
Format: Imitation Leather
I’m obsessed with this book. Each devotion really does only take a minute to read. It’s compact so I leave it in my truck but sometimes I’ll bring it in and keep it by my bed. There’s a book mark ribbon that keeps your place if you get off track of your days and you can’t remember where you left off. And I also like HOW the messages are explained. I grew up in church and I’m always like “hmm that makes sense now that it’s put that way!” lol

The Answer
Format: Imitation Leather
I purchased this book of Devotions as I was looking for a guide that would be simple to follow and compact. It seemed like I always was making excuses for not being as diligent with my faith. It was easy to tell my self that I could not keep up with God or travel with a guide as it was too inconvenient or bulky. From a content and simplicity to stay focussed, this was the source I needed. From a convenience standpoint, it could not be any better. I had tried apps and digital versions previously and it just wasn't the same. Holding a book and leafing through the pages just feels so much better to me. A definite must for those of you looking for a impactful, yet small and convenient way to continue the journey.
