Disciples Devoted to Fellowship: The One Another Principle is a 13-lesson workbook designed to reconnect modern Christians with the deep, heartfelt unity observed in the early church. It challenges American Christianity's often peripheral approach to faith, with spiritual life frequently demoted to a subsection due to our busy, distracted lifestyles. Drawing inspiration from the first Christians for whom Christianity was life-encompassing, this workbook emphasizes the importance of yearning for fellowship and cultivating a servant's heart. Amidst cultural pressures and superficial connections, it serves as a guide to restoring genuine, intimate relationships within the spiritual family. The goal is to encourage readers to prioritize their spiritual pursuits, reaffirm their commitment, and reinvent their daily lives around Christianity, thereby echoing the devotion of early disciples.

By the time the computer arrived on the architectural scene, its place had been prepared by decades of avant-gardist experimentation. The modernist program of rationalizing creative practice took a decidedly bureaucratic turn between two generations of constructivists in the 1930s and 1960s. From Paris to Cambridge, painters, poets, designers, and architects poured their energy into cracking the code of artistic genius in hopes of democratizing the creation of better environments, thus stimulating a nascent repertoire of algorithmic techniques. The motivation to use these new techniques emerged from attempts to understand art and architecture through serial effects. By reformulating their disciplines in terms of flowcharting procedures developed in the field of scientific management, artists and architects enacted a paradigm shift that had long been a cherished dream of modernism, replacing composition with organization as the basis of design.

This book, first published in 1995, is about the underside of Japan's economic miracle. It is an account of people who have been forgotten in Japan's push to industrialise in the post-war era: the coal-miners of Chikuho on Japan's southernmost island. The dirty and neglected character of Chikuho is in stark contrast with Japan's image as an international leader in technology.
