Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - My counselor called it scrupulosity-a specific flavor of obsessive-compulsive disorder that explained my unquenchable fear of damnation and the incessant, blasphemous thoughts forever threatening to make that notion a reality. As far as I can remember, fear had always been there. What began as general worry and complaining of phantom stomach aches in kindergarten turned into full-blown hypochondria by the time I was a teenager. Then, as I started taking Christianity more seriously in high school, I quickly traded in my fear of death on a physical level for a fear of death on an eternal one. This is where the intrusive thoughts began, setting in motion the absolute fight of my life.My goal with this book is to give a raw, unflinching view into what it's like growing up with OCD in hopes that anyone else with this disorder can see themselves in my story and not feel so alone. And for those specifically struggling with scrupulosity, I want them to witness the dire depths into which I fell, and how God still met me there. I want them to see that victory over this disorder is possible, and the journey I needed to take to find it, so that they can experience that same victory for themselves.I wouldn't wish OCD on my worst enemy. It is a cruel, dastardly disorder that takes the things you hold most dear and weaponizes them against you. And yet, from the moment the first unwanted, blasphemous thought flashed across my mind and throughout every anguished, trembling moment that flowed forth since, God was using it to prove to me, in the most definite and tangible of ways, that no matter how hard my besieged mind tried to convince me otherwise, I could never outrun His love.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An ancient chambers in Lincoln's Inn has defended God for seventeen centuries. This winter, it hired a grieving barrister.When her sister is killed in an earthquake, and the insurers decline the claim in four words, an act of God, Maryam Asfour writes forty-one furious pages addressed to no one. Then two letters arrive in the same handwriting: one from the Office of Divine Counsel, an unlisted firm that has represented 'the Client' since the fourth century, and one from the chambers across the square, which claims to have been prosecuting him just as long.Maryam joins the defence for a reason she never says aloud: she wants discovery on God.Her induction is an archive. The Book of Job, kept as a court record. Baghdad, 833, where reformers tried to amend the Client's attributes and built an inquisition. Strasbourg, 1349, where the firm's oldest strategy walked out of its hands. Lisbon, 1755, where engineers filed the only defence that ever reduced the docket. A folder for the twentieth century that contains a single sheet.And a seventh file, in a drawer she has been told she would want to open first, that she is saving for last.A novel about the oldest case in the world, the two doors grief can walk through, and what is left to do when the explanation column runs empty.For readers of Piranesi and Small Things Like These.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Four thousand were carried into the golden city. Forty four years later, when they were finally allowed to go home, two out of every three chose to stay.Adiel is nineteen when the barges carry him into Ardennum, and the first thing that frightens him is the bread.The greatest city on Tessara does not enslave the Bound. It feeds them. It gives them clean water, fair courts, open schools, houses with doors that shut, and a name a clerk can spell. In forty four years not one of them is beaten and not one child dies for want of water.That is the point.Veyl has spent four centuries trying to cut the promised line by force, and it has survived a famine, a sword, a court intrigue and two plagues. So he stops trying to break the Promise. He begins, instead, to wait for someone to put it down.When a foreign decree finally opens the road home, the ones who stay are not cowards, and every reason they give is true.
