There are strange happenings in the desert. Learn the truth about the Hereditas Expedition in this hair-raising tale of betrayal, devotion and religious fanaticism. Was the Hereditas Expedition doomed from the start?

Seeing Sabbath as the Gospels Call to Resist, Reimagine, and Reclaim The worlds relentless push for "more and better" reflects a value system that is individualistic and economically exploitative, leaving Christians and the church itself exhausted. Amid this weariness, Sabbath emerges as not merely a day of rest, but a powerful, countercultural invitation to push back.In Sabbath Gospel, G. P. Wagenfuhr and Amy J. Erickson invite us to consider Sabbath as much more than a cessation from work. Sabbath is a grand exodus from tiring economic regimes and the empty promise of self-actualization. By expanding our vision of Sabbath beyond the Creation story, we vacate the idol of the world and take our place in the household of God, the church, where Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. In this robust biblical theology, scholars, theologians, and pastors find a fresh approach to Sabbath that moves us beyond empty practices and renews our language about the gospel.What youll find in Sabbath Gospel: A transformative view of Sabbath as communal resistance against the exploitative value systems of the world Interdisciplinary insights into the Biblical theology of Sabbath A call to live out Sabbath anew in Gods reconciled community Sabbath Gospel challenges readers to rethink Sabbath, moving beyond individualistic notions of rest. Sabbath is not just about stepping back from work for personal rejuvenation but about stepping into Gods householda reconciled community where rest is shared, burdens are lifted, and the gospel is renewed in our lives. Reimagine your view of Sabbath with Sabbath Gospel.

The Marquis de Sade, infamous for his obscene writing and his cruelty to women, nonetheless lived a life dominated by them - his charismatic mother, iron-willed mother-in-law, and his wife. A wife who, despite her husbands peccadilloes, and although their marriage was arranged in order for their families to combine financial and social capital, loved him devotedly for thirty years, through betrayal, imprisonment, and national turmoil.This biography reveals how Renee-Pelagie de Montreuil, Marquise de Sade, endured the chaos caused by her frenetically dissolute husband with grace, and how she carved out her own independence in an era when women were entitled to little of their own. She bore the Marquis three children, loved him, put up with his wild behaviour, edited his manuscripts for him, tried to help him escape prison by means legal and illegal, and acted throughout the decades of their marriage as his only reliable friend.Their complex relationship, set against the last years of the Ancien Regime in France, the Revolution and its aftermath, are brought to life with humour and compassion by Margaret Crosland, also the translator of Sades Gothic Tales. She shows how the Sade marriage symbolized the decay of the old aristocracy and conveys the struggle of one individual to establish her personal identity at a time when women in France had virtually no rights of their own.

¿Cómo sería suplantar a un desconocido, infiltrarte en su matrimonio, su casa y sus costumbres? F. Scott Fitzgerald dijo que no hay segundos actos en las vidas americanas, pero Salto mortal es precisamente eso, la historia de un impostor que accede a todo aquello que el destino le tenia vedado: amor, lujo, prestigio y exito profesional.Nuestro protagonista es marino mercante, un vagabundo rebelde que vive a salto de mata, ajeno a las cuitas de sus semejantes, huyendo de una vida de provincias. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el barco en el que faena naufraga de forma dramatica. Sobrevive milagrosamente, pero a consecuencia de una explosion pierde todo rastro de identidad personal nombre, un rostro reconocible, huellas dactilares y acaba flotando a la deriva en la inmensidad del oceano. Rescatado casi contra su voluntad y con el cuerpo lleno de quemaduras, debera elegir quien y que quiere ser, algo a lo que se resiste hasta que una mujer lo visita en el hospital y asegura ser su esposa.Bajo una trama absorbente que avanza con el impetu de las mejores historias de aventuras, Salto mortal se revela como una ambiciosa novela filosofica sobre las trampas del yo, el misterio de la identidad y la busqueda de la trascendencia en un mundo caotico y hostil.La critica ha dicho...Una obra maestra de la narrativa existencial. Jonathan CoeMacDonald Harris tambien conocido como Donald Heiney, el minotauro secreto de Oxley Street logro captar, como ningun otro escritor, el aislamiento y el anhelo que vuelve locos no solo a los minotauros, los escritores y los hermafroditas, sino a todos nosotros.

La historia más urgente de la tecnología moderna no comienza en Silicon Valley, sino hace doscientos años en la Inglaterra rural, cuando los trabajadores conocidos como los luditas se rebelaron para no morir de hambre a manos de los dueños de las fabricas que usaban maquinas automatizadas para aniquilar sus medios de vida. Los luditas organizaron incursiones guerrilleras para destruir esas maquinas bajo pena de muerte y consiguieron el apoyo de Lord Byron, enfurecieron al principe regente e inspiraron el nacimiento de la ciencia ficcion. Esta lucha de clases, casi olvidada, sometio a la Inglaterra del siglo XIX.Hoy en dia la tecnologia pone en peligro millones de empleos, los robots abarrotan las fabricas y la inteligencia artificial pronto impregnara todos los aspectos de nuestra economia. ¿Como cambiara esto nuestra forma de vida? ¿Y que podemos hacer al respecto? Las respuestas se encuentran en Sangre en la maquina.

Help Children Embrace a Slower, Gentler Pace of Life Imagine being stuck on a crazy merry-go-round that wont stop. Youre spinning endlessly. You cant pause, focus, or catch your breath, and its starting to get scary.This is the reality for many children today, caught in the frantic pace of life. Forces beyond their control rush them along, skipping important transitions and cutting corners on meaningful processes. Children are moving so fast that theres little room for God in their thoughts or on their calendars. As a result, theyre left struggling to establish roots in community, reliable morals, or any kind of relationship with God.The good news is its possible to help children experience life at a slower pace. You can push back against the demands of our superficial, artificial, automatic, and always-on culture. In Savoring Childhood, Grace Pouch offers small steps you can take to help children experience life at a pace where friendship with God has the time and space to flourish.Drawn from an average familys experiments with resisting the rush of life and applying spiritual formation wisdom from voices such as Dallas Willard and Richard Foster, this book presents practical ways to slow things down so that children (and the grown-ups who love them) can experience and savor the world at a soul-sustaining pace.With Savoring Childhood, youll learn how to resist the formation of spirit-harming habits and appetites, set a pace that supports freedom, connection, and depth, and nurture skills for healthy relationships with God and others. God designed childhood to be abundant. With a little practical guidance, we can reclaim the spaciousness kids need to experience awe, practice patience, exercise creativity, and grow up surrounded by a sense of Gods presence and love. Savoring Childhood is your invitation to slow things down and give your kids the gift of flourishing.

Nick Aitchison has produced the first fully researched and illustrated study of its history, mythology and cultural significance.Having first traced the origin, evolution and function of myths surrounding the Stone and the ancient prophecy that gives the Stone its name, he examines the stone itself and for the first time reveals the Stones original function and the origins of its symbolic sanctity.

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.

This is a journey into a turbulent period in Irelands past and covers the exploits of charismatic guerrilla leader Sean Treacy, Tipperarys flying columns and the horrors of Croke Parks Bloody Sunday. Tipperarys role in the War of Independence has been greatly under-played and this book analyses the main events and personalities of the time.

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.
