For Andy Burrows, Christmas Day 2009 marked the beginning of a battle with cancer which has continued into 2016. Along the way the battle has prompted some deep thinking about the way that the Christian faith speaks to issues of hardship, suffering and illness. In this book Andy tells of his emotional and physical roller coaster ride, involving two relapses, three lots of chemotherapy, antibody treatment and a stem cell transplant, interspersed with Christian reflections. He covers such questions as: How does the Christian faith affect the way that we view hardship and suffering? Isn't the Christian hope too 'pie in the sky' to be of any comfort? Can cancer be a good thing? Shouldn't suffering lead us to hate God if he exists? Is God really in control of everything? As he reflects on the issues thrown up by his cancer, Andy comes to the conclusion that hardships are 'where the rubber hits the road', as his studies continually take him back to the truth, wisdom and comfort of the Bible's teaching on God's sovereignty and the eternal future hope that awaits God's children through Christ's work.

Is bacon fat meat? Chicken? Cheese? Eggs? All of these have been considered, at different times, meat or meatless foods by the Catholic Church. The eighteenth century historian Le Grand d'Aussy included several long passages on the complex history of Catholic fasting in France in his master work on the history of French food. Taken together, they explore the often surprising twists and turns this practice took from the time of the Franks to his own. Throughout the Old Regime, the distinction between meat and fast-day foods was central to French dining; the exact definitions, however, of what was meat and what was not and what days were to be observed as fast days shifted dramatically over this period. Le Grand, a former Jesuit, was particularly well-qualified to discuss this issue and does so with authority and wit, citing innumerable older sources in a rare, comprehensive study of this practice in France. He does so however across chapters on poultry, fish, eggs and dairy and seasonings (sometimes shamelessly digressing from a chapter's subject to look more closely at this issue). These passages have been newly translated and brought together here for a work sure to interest those with an interest in the history of French food or Catholicism itself.

At fifteen, JT Pierce was the star of a hit TV show and had the world in his hands. Every teeny-bopper magazine had his face on it; every teenage girl had his poster on her wall. But then the show went on hiatus, and JT wouldn't lower himself to bit parts or commercials. Slowly, his star faded from view. Seven years later, JT is Johnny Thomas, who hopes to jumpstart his career by hiring his former manager, Lou Merrin. He wants to do serious movies, a huge blockbuster or two, and claim one of those coveted Oscars for himself. But Lou cautions Johnny about the paparazzi, who can make or break a star these days, and he's heard rumors of Johnny's sexuality that might prevent him from landing those coveted leading roles. Still, Johnny's nothing if not persistent, and he swears he'll play it straight. Until he meets Brett, a photographer who turns his life -- and his heart -- upside down. Suddenly the celebrity gossip website Z-23 seems to have exclusive pictures of Johnny, and someone close to him leaks information about an audition that was supposed to be kept quiet. When photographs surface that Johnny thought were taken in confidence, he realizes he must choose between the career path Lou offers him and the love he wants to share with Brett. NOTE: This paperback also contains the short story, More Lies, which features the same characters.

Life had always been good to me, and I made sure to keep it that way. My mom had given me the only tool I'd need to succeed-manipulation. Add to that the fact I was beautiful, confident, and rich, and I was on my way to having it all. My name is Annabelle, and I was the stereotypical head cheerleader, dating the star quarterback. The school was mine, and I couldn't wait to be crowned prom queen. One night, my world changed forever. All I believed my future would hold was ripped from my grasp in a ball of flames. I lost my identity, my boyfriend, and my friends. Suddenly, I was the monster nobody wanted around. A scarf hid my true identity, and I was left staring at the beast in the mirror. My appearance now matched the ugliness I once had inside, but I'd do everything I could to prove I still had some beauty buried deep within.Sometimes, you have to lose who you are to become who you were meant to be.

El presente libro pretende mostrar la realidad histórica del anarquismo español durante lo que podríamos llamar su "época dorada". Esto es, la que va de finales del siglo XIX, con la I Internacional, hasta los años de la II República y la Guerra Civil española. De este modo, de acuerdo con los datos históricos de que disponemos, podremos hacernos una idea aproximada del porqué del fuerte arraigo de ideas como el anarquismo entre la población campesina española, andaluza y granadina, sobre los cuales versa este libro, así como de su posible relación con las causas que originaron el conflicto bélico español del 36, como fue por ejemplo la enorme brecha económica entre ricos y pobres en la época citada, derivada en buena medida del desigual reparto de la propiedad de la tierra ya que, mientras una minoría vivía en la opulencia, la masa trabajadora vivía en la más completa miseria en muchas zonas (principalmente rurales) de España, como son los casos de Andalucía occidental, así como Granada y Andalucía oriental.

Tyler Hartmann had made mistakes, but today was the worst so far. The ship he was on with his mom had been caught in a storm and slammed against some rocks. Soaked by the pouring rain and confused by the darkness, Tyler and the other children had jumped into a lifeboat. It was what they'd been taught by the captain their first day on the ship. But the adults had all gotten on a separate lifeboat. When the two crafts hit the water and were battered by the waves, there had been no way to keep them together.

The Korengal Valley of Afghanistan was one of the most dangerous places in the world during 2008. There on a daily basis, brave Americans confronted the grim realities of a determined guerilla resistance as they opposed an all but invisible enemy exercising a ruthless determination to achieve their objectives at all costs and without heed to civilized rules of war. Using improvised explosive devices and ambush tactics, stubborn jihadists of the region worked fanatically to sap American will to fight by bleeding its forward forces white via use of the most brutal weapons on hand. Deployment there became a crapshoot of possibilities - the hapless gamblers rolling snake-eyes would die or suffer life-altering injury. Nobody served there unscathed.

Divertissement épisodique d'un penseur de la politique et de l'économie, Adolphe continue, 200 ans après sa parution, à intéresser les spécialistes de la littérature. Son style, épuré et rigoureux, continue à fasciner; l'originalité de son thème n'a jamais cessé de plaire. Après tant de romans présentant l'amour comme une aventure, un sacrifice ou une conquête, Benjamin Constant nous le présentait comme une lassitude. C'est un affreux malheur de n'être pas aimé quand on aime, nous dit l'auteur; mais c'en est un bien grand d'être aimé avec passion quand on n'aime plus. Roman sur le délitement du lien amoureux, Adolphe nous propose aussi une plongée dans l'univers mental de son héros, tiraillé par le désir de ne pas faire du mal et par son amour de la vie solitaire. C'était, dès 1816, l'un des premiers véritables romans psychologiques.Comme Benoît Malbranque le montre dans l'étude inédite qui ouvre cette réédition, on peut aussi faire de ce court roman une lecture libérale. Et cela pas seulement parce qu'il met en scène, de manière à peine cachée, Benjamin Constant et Germaine de Staël. Plus fondamentalement, Adolphe est un roman subjectif et individualiste. Il nous présente l'histoire d'un homme épris de liberté, luttant contre l'emprise invincible de la société.

Tsunami Cowboys was longlisted for the 2019 Screen Craft Cinematic Book Competition. Prepare to meet Todd, a hero with dangerous fantasies. Coreen is trapped in a cult. Ronnie dreams other people's futures. Guy waits for disaster at a Christmas Market. And Lynn, the connecting thread, takes a train with a seductive man who has a secret identity. As much as we like to believe our lives have clear rules and goals, events occur that throw all our plans off-kilter. Be careful when you flirt with a stranger - or climb in a window. Watch out, when your family starts to believe the world is coming to an end. And pay attention to your dreams, because sometimes they predict the future. Even random decisions have huge consequences: you can decide to take the train rather than fly, and still end up sailing through the air. Tsunami Cowboys is written in vivid, graceful prose that makes the improbable more than real, and the unimaginable far too easy to imagine. By turns terrifying and funny, this is the story of people riding life's waves... the tsunami cowboys.

The fiery redhead stirs something in me that I can't explain, and when we're forced to work together, it can only lead to trouble...of the good kind. I can't get her out of my head. The only solution is to get back in the game and forget she exists. That theory is great-too bad I don't want anyone else. I...just...want...her.
