Paperback. Condizione: Good. The once highly decorated SEAL officer, Brad Johnson, gave up his life and career as a SEAL when his father became ill. He returned home to New York City to help with the family business, which had afforded Brad, and his family with many luxuries in his life. He liked his Upper-East-Side living, but for many years, there has been a large void in his life. One that has forced him to become notorious as a bit of a playboy. It was amazing how one event, however devastating changed your life forever. Bigger than missing the men of his Team, more than wishing he would be back on mission in his camouflage gear, blowing stuff up, he hopes that he doesn't screw up the large corporation of which he has become the head of. The yearly charity ball, the one time of the year he doesn't mind wearing the penguin suit, is upon him. The yearly report to the men of the board he has known since he was little, is also due. So when this night opens a door he had once hoped for, he is torn about taking a third path in his life. Danielle Morgan has returned to a place she doesn't remember, to visit her dad. Years before, a boating accident had robbed her of her younger years. Living in a new world, she had to relearn who her family was, which wasn't so easy. They have been honest, and open with her, but there are some things they left out, especially one very important one. The moment she meets Brad for the 'first time', he seems far more familiar than he should.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Motherhood, for those of us for whom it was never in the cards, can shift the tectonic plates of your being and, in the process, level the life built upon them. Embracing this will shake you to the core and catalyze an expansion that swallows the life you leave behind whole-allowing you to live fully, heal the deepest parts of yourself, and emerge anew, not redesigned but renovated, able to create magic in your life in a way that you might not have accessed without this massive disruption. Our culture teaches us that it's about balance. Finding time for yourself, making sure you take care of your own needs. I call bullshit. Balance isn't going to cut it for the kind of women this book is written for. This book is a guide to motherhood from a completely different perspective. It's about energy management, soul management. It's not about balancing your checkbook and budgeting your time; it's about creating a radical shift in who you are.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. For centuries scholars have debated the true identity of the author of the magnificent body of poems and plays attributed to William Shakespeare, the actor and co-owner of a successful theater company who hailed from Stratford-upon-Avon. And yet many credible voices -- Mark Twain, Sigmund Freud, and Walt Whitman, to name a few -- have challenged conventional wisdom, proposing alternative candidates from rival playwrights Ben Jonson and Christopher Marlowe to Queen Elizabeth herself, in what has become a centuries-old parlor game. In this provocative and convincing new book, historian and attorney Bertram Fields presents a stunning, and highly plausible, new theory of the case. Mastering four centuries of evidence and argument, Fields revisits all the critical facts and unanswered questions. Could there have been a single man in the English theater with such breadth and range of knowledge, a man who knew Latin and Greek, the etiquette and practices of nobility, the workings of the law, and the tactics of the military and navy? Or -- as Fields asks in his tantalizing conclusion -- was this not one man at all, but a magnificent collaboration between two very different men, a partnership born in the roiling culture of Elizabethan England, and protected for centuries by the greatest conspiracy in literary history? Blending biography and historical investigation with vibrant scholarship and storytelling, Players revolutionizes our understanding of the greatest writer -- or writers -- in our history. …

Paperback. Condizione: Good. As the economy and society move from a world where interactions were physical and based on paper documents, toward a world that is primarily governed by digital data and digital transactions, our existing methods of managing identity and data security are proving inadequate. Large-scale fraud, identity theft and data breaches are becoming common, and a large fraction of the population have only the most limited digital credentials. Even so, our digital infrastructure is recognized as a strategic asset which must be resilient to threat. If we can create an Internet of Trusted Data that provides safe, secure access for everyone, then huge societal benefits can be unlocked, including better health, greater financial inclusion, and a population that is more engaged with and better supported by its government. Some of the world's leading data scientists, led by MIT Professor Alex Pentland, describe a roadmap and platforms to implement this new paradigm.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In What The Preacher Forgot To Tell Me: Identity and Gospel in Jamaica, author Faith Linton identifies what she believes is a deficiency in the historical preaching of the Gospel in Jamaica, and other Caribbean countries, that has impacted the success of the Gospel there. It is her conviction that many of those to whom the gospel is preached lack just what the ancient Athenians lacked-a heightened awareness of the one, true God and of them as He originally designed them. They lack a sense of kinship, of belonging to their Creator, and therefore of what they are to Him and what they owe to Him. She examines the principal of preaching the Gospel message by beginning at the beginning-in Genesis, with our creation. When people do not appreciate the significance of their being created in His image, the consequences are that they have no clear, healthy sense of their spiritual identity or of the lofty purpose for which they were created. If the message preached does not fill this gap, the understanding of the gospel will be distorted. Hearers may be driven to repentance strictly out of the fear of hell. Or, they may seek self-centred satisfaction and happiness by allying themselves with Christ, but they will not be motivated to please God. When a person is not allowed to see how closely connected they are to God, who made them like Himself, they continue to feel alienated from Him even after salvation. They feel unable to relate closely to Him in an intimate way. Her personal experience bears this out. Faith's book identifies this problem with clarity and conviction as she describes how this principle has impacted Jamaica and the Caribbean communities and offers what she hopes is a transformational solution.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. What is a Half-Jew? Neither this nor that. Practically synonymous with confusion, Half-Jew is a term for people stuck in no-man's land, not quite fitting in with Gentiles nor universally accepted as Jews.

Those born of a Jewish father and non-Jewish mother are often lost, searching for a true identity. D.M. Miller makes a compelling case to prove the doubters wrong. In analyzing religious arguments, medical and genetic studies, history and ancestry, this intimate part-memoir tells the personal story of one woman determined to eradicate the stigma, unravel the misunderstandings and come to terms with what identity is or isn't through her unique perspective as a Half-Jew.…

The Heavenly Father wants women to experience a full restoration in who He created them to be - in the home, society, and ministry He wants them to know their valued identity and be empowered by His love.
