El retrato de un matrimonio abierto que ha sacudido la conversación sobre el sexo y el amor, escrito por una mujer felizmente casada.Molly tiene dos niños pequeños y un marido, Stewart, que trabaja hasta tarde y rara vez ayuda en casa. Una noche, decidida a escapar de la rutina, acaba en un bar donde conoce a un chico alto y de ojos verdes que intenta ligar con ella. Al volver a casa, se lo cuenta a Stewart, quien, contra todo pronostico, la anima a explorar su sexualidad con otros hombres. Asi comienza el inesperado matrimonio abierto de Molly, que se crea un perfil en una app de citas y se lanza a vivir aventuras apasionadas (y en ocasiones desastrosas) con desconocidos, siguiendo una serie de reglas que acabara saltandose una a una: no salir con un ex ni con gente del barrio, no ir a casas ajenas y, sobre todo, no enamorarse.Como tantas parejas, Molly y Stewart se enfrentan a los celos, la inseguridad y las dudas mientras se preguntan: ¿podemos querer a terceros sin traicionar el amor que nos une? ¿Podemos lograr lo imposible?Escrito por una mujer felizmente casada, este retrato tragicomico, desinhibido y antidogmatico de una relacion no tradicional pone a prueba algunas de nuestras ideas preconcebidas sobre el sexo y el amor.

Woven Tapestry is an in-depth practical guide to the technique of this unique art form, and to finding creative expression within it.Progressive exercises based on the authors combined 50 years experience are used to explain technique from making a first sample through to finished pieces. These are illustrated by over 400 specially woven samples and diagrams. The underlying principles are outlined and applied in a contemporary and creative way. Full-page images illustrate the qualities of line, colour, pattern and texture unique to woven tapestry, and the rich and exciting range of yarns available. Exercises in making and interpreting designs guide the developing weaver towards making individually creative work. Woven Tapestry offers the reader the technical skills and understanding needed to make expressive and beautiful work of their own. By working with several weft threads simultaneously, tapestry weaving becomes highly nuanced and is capable of complex imagery. Exercises in design show how to make use of the unique qualities that woven tapestry has to offer. The initial techniques are fundamentally simple and are clearly explained using only basic equipment and readily available yarns. The reader is encouraged to take time in learning, and to look closely whilst working. The continuous slow under over rhythm of weft passing through warp can promote a mental space in which to think and feel more deeply, and ultimately to create.Right from the first exercise there are creative choices to be made. By progressing to more advanced techniques, and working with many types and combinations of yarns, the expressive freedom available to the developing weaver soon becomes endless.

"By his wounds we are healed" Isaiah 53:5 We are wounded people. In this fallen world, people are hurt and exploited. Children are abused. Marriages are broken. Tragedies of all kinds afflict us and the ones we love. Woundedness, it seems, is simply a fact of life.But we are not alone in our suffering. Despite our emotional, psychological and physical injuries, God has not abandoned us. God is not distant or aloof. On the contrary, through the ministry of Jesus, God enters our painful situations to bring healing and redemption.Balancing sound biblical exposition with sensitive pastoral care, Stephen Seamands examines the profound implications of Jesus crucifixion for our healing and restoration. Because Jesus experienced abuse, shame and rejection, he understands the hurts we experience today. And his response to pain and suffering gives us hope that we too can experience forgiveness and new life.Filled with real-life stories of peoples brokenness and healing, Wounds That Heal offers comfort for our wounded souls. Ultimately, we take heart that God not only understands our pain but has done something about it. Encounter here the promise that the wounds of Jesus are wounds that heal.

Reimagine Your Theology of Faith and Work Conversations about faith and work often miss an important truth: limitations are not a problem; theyre a key part of what it means to be human. Work has always been part of humanitys purpose, but were no longer in the perfect Garden of Eden, nor are we in the future new heavens and new earth. To truly address the challenges of work, we need a new theological perspective.In Worth Doing, David Buschart and Ryan Tafilowski embrace the realities of limitations, challenging the myths of "You are what you do" and "Do what you love." Instead, they propose a theology of work that affirms the goodness of human limits while addressing the realities of fallenness, offering hope for those who may not find deep fulfillment in their daily jobs.Buschart and Tafilowski outline a new vision of work that resonates with all workers, recognizing that every job has value, even when it doesnt align with idealized notions of purpose or calling. By embracing this perspective, people can find new ways to approach daily labor, even when it doesnt feel deeply fulfilling.In Worth Doing, readers will: Gain a theology of work that moves beyond only ideas of productivity or calling. Learn how to embrace human limitations as part of Gods good design. Reflect on the ways work connects to broader questions of purpose and human flourishing. Worth Doing invites readers to consider their limitations as valuable aspects of their vocational journey, offering a thoughtful framework for addressing the complexities of work. This book is particularly relevant for theologians examining the intersections of work, faith, and rest; Christian educators; and leaders in the faith and work space. By moving beyond conventional theological approaches to faith and work, Worth Doing presents a hopeful and theologically rich perspective on vocation that acknowledges and embraces human limitations.
