Its been three years since former hockey player Devon Hughes dried out, hung up his skates, and started raising wool sheep. Now hes driving home from Christmas shopping in a snowstorm and happens across a stranded motorist. What kind of monster would he be if he didnt stop?When the weather turns, Noah Bell is returning to his roots after a short stint in pro hockey, a slightly longer stint in higher education, and a failed relationship. Hes convinced hes going to freeze to death in a rest stop on I-75 until a stranger shows up to rescue him. At least if he goes home with this guy, hell be warm before he can get ax-murdered. Except it turns out he and Devon have more in common than just not being serial killers. If they can get past the panic and sheep calm, maybe this Christmas theyll get their merry on.

Discover the Unexpected Grace Found in Shame We are Gods beloved children.

Are you ready to stop hiding from the pain, fears, and shame that have plagued your life?In Shame Redeemed you will explore the full complexity of shame in the Bible, shames relationship to sin and guilt, the danger of shamelessness, the freedom to be unashamed of Jesus and his word, and spiritual practices to help Gods liberating truth sink in. Youll find that Jesus runs toward you with all your faults and enables you to be unashamed without being shameless. As you meditate on how thoroughly Jesus love and grace have broken shames grip, you can learn to live in the freedom that is yours in Christ.

The Isle of Seven Cities isnt where its supposed to be, it doesnt have seven cities except when it does, and its disorienting even to those who live there.

Crimea, 1854: residents in the besieged city of Sevastopol look out over a harbour punctured by the masts of scuttled ships, and taunt the French forces that keep them trapped behind defensive walls. So begins Leo Tolstoys account of nine months of battle and bravery.Based on his own experiences as an artillery officer in the Crimean War, Tolstoy uses a kaleidoscopic range of narrative techniques to build up a picture of the conflict, wheeling from officer to soldier, cannon to barracks. We visit the crumbling defences and enter the fray with a group of vain officers more preoccupied with social status than with the war itself; and we follow the fates of the Kozeltsov brothers - one jaded and pragmatic, one naive and hungry for glory, both in their way courageous - in the final battle for the city.Communicated in prose marked by vivid sensation and profound irony, Tolstoys questions - about the nature of truth and heroism, and the human price of conflict - are as relevant as ever.

Cork, the largest county in Ireland, has hundreds of miles of indented coastline, which is regarded as one of the scenic jewels of the country. John M. Feehan sailed alone in a small boat around the West Cork coast in search of true peace, his land of hearts desire, his isle of the blest. The result is a book that is not only a profound spiritual odyssey but a magnificent account of the wild rugged coastline, the peaceful coves and the unique characters he met in this beautiful, unspoiled corner of Ireland. John M. Feehan writes with great charm, skill and sympathy, and with a mischievous roguish humour, often at his own expense. His sharp eye misses nothing. He sees the mystery, beauty and wonder in ordinary things, and brings situations and people vividly to life.

There is a Scottish Cinderella, a loyal broonie, and a fair knight abducted by the Queen of the Fairies but saved by love. The woman whose love for a selkie man was broken by an evil spell and the girl whose tears and lamentation for her dead lover bring his restless ghost back to carry her off to join him in his grave.

The book concludes with a discussion of the Stones symbolic significance with the creation of the Scottish parliament.
