Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'This book presents pastoral ministry as a sacred calling centered on Jesus Christ, the Chief Shepherd. It reminds pastors that faithful ministry reaches far beyond the pulpit and grows through biblical character, prayer, Scripture, compassion, relationships, service, and spiritual leadership. With a strong commitment to Scripture and pastoral theology, Dr. Venkat Potana offers an encouraging vision of shepherding that places Christ at the center and people at the heart of ministry. This book invites pastors, ministry leaders, and emerging servants to rediscover the beauty of faithful shepherding and the responsibility of preparing others for ministry. It emphasizes that lasting pastoral influence grows through humble service, personal example, spiritual investment, and faithful care for God's people. It calls the church toward a generation of leaders whose lives reflect the heart of Christ and whose ministry continues to bless future generations.' - Prof. Bhaskar Rao. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Flower Conroy's exquisite language is like a fierce storm, a tasty bite of forbidden fruit (which, we learn, and instantly believe, might have been quince.). Seduction, in her skilled hands, is adventure, is danger, sports colorful red lips, fuchsia shoes. To read Flower Conroy is to be taken apart, sliced open, seared with lightning.'-Laura Foley, author of Joy Street and The Glass Tree 'In The Awful Suicidal Swans, even the weather transmits damage or indifference; lightning cracks like a ribcage; the cold closes in. These are not comforting poems and clearly, Flower Conroy does not mean them to be. They should come with the warning read at your own risk, though you should take the chance. There is both rage and remarkably beautiful language within these dark verses that will leave the reader with a new perspective on the power of poetry itself.'-Eleanor Lerman, author of Strange Life and The Sensual World Re-Emerges 'Fashioning imagery from the gorgeous to the gritty, Flower Conroy conjures moments of lust, love, and life with power and passion. Like the tattoos that crop up now and again in these lines, her poems leave an indelible mark on the mind.'-Leila J. Rupp, author of Sapphistries: A Global History of Love Between Women 'These formally immaculate, sonically rich poems overflow with grit and perfume-with patent leather and Redwoods, laundromats and apple clover, Lucky Strikes and overripe eggplant. The abstract becomes tangible, tasteable, and the enormous turns microscopic as Conroy explores the wildness of the erotic. With stormy, charged language and a disarming directness, the poems ask, again and again, How alive are you In this extraordinary chapbook, Conroy shows us how to be more alive, more animal, and more human.' -Alyse Knorr, author of Annotated Glass 'Flower Conroy is like Marianne Moore punch-drunk in love with a pole dancer. Each poem in this book pays gorgeous attention to sound as it careens after the body through bars, blizzards, and memories. The Awful Suicidal Swans is a 'Kiss, apocalypse' that will leave you breathless.'-Rita Mae Reese, author of The Alphabet Conspiracy.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Detective Richard Young is a Chicago detective who works for a squad that plays by a different set of rules, and this is evident once he encounters Jamie Perez. The story quickly unfolds once he discovers that Jamie is Julie Wilson's niece. Julie Wilson is the criminal mastermind that was put behind bars by Richard and his crew. However, now that she's out of jail, Richard knows she's going to be vengeful, so with Jamie coming out of the woodworks at the same time as Julie's release, he's a little skeptical about the things she says and the actions she takes. It brings the question to mind: is she genuine or is she toying with him for the satisfaction of her aunt. Not only does he discover that Jamie is Julie's niece, but the truth is also revealed about his girlfriend, Madison Miller, and his partner/best friend, Jared Hubbard.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - September 1863. In the tangled woods and farm fields of north Georgia, the Union and Confederate armies are about to collide in one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. When it is over, more than thirty four thousand men will be dead, wounded, or missing.On September 18, 1863, the quiet fields along Chickamauga Creek become a killing ground that will help decide the fate of the western war. Over two horrific days, Federal and Confederate soldiers fight, fall, and vanish into the smoke and confusion of one of the most brutal engagements of the Civil War.From the cold eyed cunning of Confederate cavalry legend Nathan Bedford Forrest to two Indiana privates clinging to a trench on Horseshoe Ridge, Chickamauga plunges you into the battle line by line and hour by hour. You march with men who do not yet know they are walking into a slaughter, and you stand with them as the woods erupt in musket fire and artillery.Inside the Confederate high command, General Braxton Bragg feuds bitterly with his own officers even as he tries to crush the Union army. On the Union side, General George Thomas makes a desperate stand on Snodgrass Hill, holding long enough to save a shattered Federal force from complete annihilation.Blair Howard's powerful Civil War novel combines vivid historical detail with the urgency of a frontline memoir. You smell the black powder, hear the screams, and feel the chaos as orders are shouted, misheard, or never arrive at all.History remembers the generals. Chickamauga: A Novel of the American Civil War tells the story of the men who stood beside them, the cavalry scouts and foot soldiers who face the enemy at ten paces, the young recruits and hardened veterans thrown into dense woods and blind panic, and the ordinary farm boys who become heroes or simply disappear in the smoke.Perfect for readers who enjoy Civil War novels based on real battles and accurate history, gritty character driven military fiction set in the Western Theater, and epic battle narratives in the tradition of classic historical war stories. Step onto the field at Chickamauga and experience one of the most devastating clashes of the Civil War through the eyes of the men who survived it, and those who did not. …

Neuware - On peut choisir, par volonté, d'acquérir un savoir, mais les circonstances qui nous y préparent, nous ne les choisissons pas.L'auteur de ce livre, professeur de mathématiques, n'a pas choisi de tomber malade. En revanche, il a choisi de lutter, de chercher et de comprendre ce qui lui arrivait, afin de vaincre une polyarthrite dont il a souffert pendant plus de seize ans, jusqu'à un stade avancé marqué par la déformation et l'adhésion des articulations.Après vingt-six années de guérison et de maîtrise de l'état de rémission, il s'adresse aujourd'hui au grand public pour partager une compréhension nouvelle des maladies auto-immunes, ainsi que les principes permettant d'entrer dans un état de rémission durable et d'en garder la maîtrise.Selon lui, ces maladies seraient l'expression d'un déséquilibre interne, une véritable crise au coeur de notre royaume intérieur . Une crise qui ne peut se résoudre que de l'intérieur - une affaire intime, relevant de la famille gouvernante de ce royaume, et qui ne peut être réglée qu'entre ses propres éléments.Dans cette perspective, aucune intervention extérieure - qu'il s'agisse des médicaments, même lorsque ceux-ci parviennent à neutraliser les cellules immunitaires semant la terreur, de l'éviction du gluten ou du jeûne prolongé - ne peut résoudre la crise ni même en préparer pleinement l'issue. Ces approches ne constituent en réalité qu'un soutien limité à notre psyché et à notre esprit, véritables acteurs de la résolution de la crise, seuls capables d'agir en profondeur une fois la cause clairement mise en lumière.Les facteurs héréditaires, psychiques et environnementaux, sur lesquels la science fonde généralement l'explication de l'origine de ces maladies, ne seraient ainsi que des éléments secondaires, soutenant une cause plus profonde, intimement liée à notre sommeil. Il ne s'agirait pas d'un sommeil perturbé ou insuffisant; tout se jouerait au moment précis où la conscience s'éteint.Beaucoup évoquent le sommeil réparateur. Mais presque personne ne parle du sommeil destructeur - celui qui, silencieusement, pourrait être à l'origine des maladies.Cette conception est appelée à devenir une approche dominante, globale et explicative, voire correctrice de certaines autres approches sincères qui ont traité le même sujet et qui ont conduit, à des degrés divers, à de véritables cas de guérison.Vous êtes médecin, chercheur, peut-être rhumatologue: vous n'êtes pas à l'abri de développer une maladie auto-immune. La science ne fournit pas encore toutes les explications. Ce livre vous offre l'opportunité d'apprendre comment vous protéger de ces maladies, d'en approfondir la compréhension et de découvrir ce que vous pouvez proposer à vos patients, en complément des traitements médicamenteux, afin d'accélérer leur rétablissement et de maintenir la rémission de leur maladie.…
