Dr. Wagner presents a brief but powerful summary of the case for National Covenanting, and particularly, the case for the obligation that yet rests upon the Anglosphere Nations (i.e. the entirety of English-speaking civilization) to own their broken covenant with God, The Solemn League and Covenant of the Three Kingdoms (1643). For those who may be unfamiliar with the covenanted obligation that lies upon the Anglosphere Nations, this concise primer will provide the reader with an excellent overview of why God will not forget the sacred National Covenant that England, Ireland, and Scotland (along with all the Dominions of Great Britain) made with Him, who is Governor among the Nations (Psalm 22:28) and who keeps truth forever (Psalm 146:6). What makes this a matter of the utmost importance is that lawful covenants made with God (whether personal, ecclesiastical, or national) cannot be dissolved, repealed, or antiquated by the mere passage of time, by wars of independence, or by crossing an ocean to plant a daughter-kingdom. For the sacred duty of all those bound by lawful covenants is squarely founded upon the moral obligation of the Third Commandment, "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain" (Exodus 20:7).

A love-song to Australia in picture book form, featuring 40 pages of extraordinary comic-style illustrations. Explore our wonderful coastline and the joy of a family road-trip with Dad and Daisy. The hugely popular creators of Why I Love Footy and Why I Love Summer are back together with this celebration of what we love most about Australia, family holiday and classic Kombi vans! Dirt by Sea will have you dreaming of a holiday around Australia or maybe even planning one with the help of the journey map in the endpapers . . . Daisy lives in inland Australia with her dad and her grandparents. It's home, and she loves the red dirt land around her. But when her dad realizes that she's never seen the beach and thinks the Australian anthem is about a country 'dirt by sea', he sets off to show her the ocean in a once-in-a-lifetime father-daughter trip along the Australian coast, inspired by the first holiday he took with Daisy's mum.

Michael Wagner nimmt uns mit in die tieferliegenden Abgründe seines Seins und präsentiert eine Auswahl verschiedener bäriger Kurzgeschichten, die in den vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnten aktuell waren, aber auch in der Mitte der 2020er-Jahre nichts an Unterhaltungswert eingebüßt haben.Vom Einblick in den Alltag eines Gefängnisses und die Seele eines Süchtigen über rührende Betrachtungen klassischer Familienstrukturen und romantisierter Beziehungen sowie völlig abstruse Beobachtungen bis zur Analyse der Arbeit des Einflusses des Vaters der modernen Zeitungsreportage, Egon Erwin Kisch, wartet eine enorme Bandbreite auf die Leserschaft.

Bär, weg mit dem Pelz ist die Geschichte einer Mannwerdung. Das Buch, das Ende der 1990er-Jahre spielt, ist in Ich-Form geschrieben. In vier Kapiteln werden die jeweiligen Entwicklungsschritte des jungen Hans Belz erzählt. Jeder Abschnitt spiegelt in Stil und Handlung die unterschiedlichen Etappen auf dem Weg ins Erwachsenenleben. Die Sprache des Romans ist direkt. Das große Thema ist die Liebe, der Sex und die Verstrickungen, die sich innerhalb von Beziehungen ergeben; sowohl in Männerfreundschaften als auch in Paarbeziehungen. Inhalt Der Hauptdarsteller Hans Belz verliert die Liebe seines Lebens nach der gemeinsamen Internatszeit aus den Augen.

Noch während der Schulzeit fasst er mit seinem besten Freund Paul den Entschluss, Deutschland zu verlassen und in Irland zu leben. Nach dem Abitur erbt Paul ein Vermögen, mit dem er dem Ich-Erzähler den Lebensunterhalt finanziert. Hans Belz schreibt an einem Buch, muss feststellen, dass keine Frau die Leere ausfüllen kann, die in ihm ist; er vergeht in Sehnsucht an seine große Liebe Sara und trinkt. Er trifft eine neue Frau, Martina. Die allerdings fügt seiner geschundenen Seele nur weiteren Schaden zu. Immer wieder hat er Kontakt zu Sara, kann sie aber nie überzeugen, zu ihm zurückzukommen. Obwohl sie wieder mit ihm schläft, geht sie zu ihrem neuen Freund zurück, den sie heiratet. Zum Schluss klären sich die Fronten. Der Hauptdarsteller der Geschichte findet seine Identität.
