Pretty Paper
by David Ritz Willie NelsonWillie Nelson's inspiring Christmas fable, based on his holiday classic "Pretty Paper." More than fifty years ago, Willie Nelson's beloved Christmas song "Pretty Paper" first hit the airwaves. And for all these years, Willie has wondered about the real-life Texas street vendor, selling wrappings and ribbons, who inspired his song. Who was this poor soul? What did his painful trials say about our loves, our hopes, our dreams in this holiday season--and in the rest of our lives?It's the early sixties and Willie Nelson is down and out, barely eking out a living as a singer-songwriter. The week before Christmas, he spots a legless man on a cart, selling wares in front of Leonard's Department Store in Fort Worth, Texas. The humble figure, by the name of Vernon Clay, piques Willie's curiosity, but Vernon is stubbornly private and--despite Willie's charming queries--has no interest in telling his story. Willie is tenacious, though, and he eventually learns that Vernon is a fellow musician, a fine guitarist and singer.When Vernon disappears, he leaves behind only a diary, which tells an epic tale of life-altering tragedies, broken hearts, and crooked record men, not to mention backroad honky-tonks, down-home cooking, and country songwriting genius. Deeply moved and spurred on by Vernon's pages, Willie aims to give the man one last shot at redemption and a chance to embody the holiday spirit.From the Hardcover edition.

Work through the exercises and reflections individually or in conversation with your peers, and you'll find yourself better equipped for the challenges of vocational ministry, and more conscious of the presence of God leading you on and restoring your soul.
Preventing Palestine: A Political History from Camp David to Oslo
by Seth AnziskaOn the fortieth anniversary of the Camp David Accords, a groundbreaking new history that shows how Egyptian-Israeli peace ensured lasting Palestinian statelessnessFor seventy years Israel has existed as a state, and for forty years it has honored a peace treaty with Egypt that is widely viewed as a triumph of U.S. diplomacy in the Middle East. Yet the Palestinians—the would-be beneficiaries of a vision for a comprehensive regional settlement that led to the Camp David Accords in 1978—remain stateless to this day. How and why Palestinian statelessness persists are the central questions of Seth Anziska’s groundbreaking book, which explores the complex legacy of the agreement brokered by President Jimmy Carter.Based on newly declassified international sources, Preventing Palestine charts the emergence of the Middle East peace process, including the establishment of a separate track to deal with the issue of Palestine. At the very start of this process, Anziska argues, Egyptian-Israeli peace came at the expense of the sovereignty of the Palestinians, whose aspirations for a homeland alongside Israel faced crippling challenges. With the introduction of the idea of restrictive autonomy, Israeli settlement expansion, and Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon, the chances for Palestinian statehood narrowed even further. The first Intifada in 1987 and the end of the Cold War brought new opportunities for a Palestinian state, but many players, refusing to see Palestinians as a nation or a people, continued to steer international diplomacy away from their cause.Combining astute political analysis, extensive original research, and interviews with diplomats, military veterans, and communal leaders, Preventing Palestine offers a bold new interpretation of a highly charged struggle for self-determination.

You will be equipped to recognize and set sexual boundaries for yourself and to open dialogue about these issues in your congregation. You will have laughed at, celebrated, and honored human sexual power, pleasure, and vulnerability. You will have gained the knowledge you need, and perhaps the courage, to communicate these ideas within your congregation so that children and vulnerable adults are protected.

Prey: Immigration, Islam, and the Erosion of Women's Rights
by Ayaan Hirsi AliWhy are so few people talking about the eruption of sexual violence and harassment in Europe’s cities? No one in a position of power wants to admit that the problem is linked to the arrival of several million migrants—most of them young men—from Muslim-majority countries.In Prey, the best-selling author of Infidel, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, presents startling statistics, criminal cases and personal testimony. Among these facts: In 2014, sexual violence in Western Europe surged following a period of stability. In 2018 Germany, “offences against sexual self-determination” rose 36 percent from their 2014 rate; nearly two-fifths of the suspects were non-German. In Austria in 2017, asylum-seekers were suspects in 11 percent of all reported rapes and sexual harassment cases, despite making up less than 1 percent of the total population. This violence isn’t a figment of alt-right propaganda, Hirsi Ali insists, even if neo-Nazis exaggerate it. It’s a real problem that Europe—and the world—cannot continue to ignore. She explains why so many young Muslim men who arrive in Europe engage in sexual harassment and violence, tracing the roots of sexual violence in the Muslim world from institutionalized polygamy to the lack of legal and religious protections for women. A refugee herself, Hirsi Ali is not against immigration. As a child in Somalia, she suffered female genital mutilation; as a young girl in Saudi Arabia, she was made to feel acutely aware of her own vulnerability. Immigration, she argues, requires integration and assimilation. She wants Europeans to reform their broken system—and for Americans to learn from European mistakes. If this doesn’t happen, the calls to exclude new Muslim migrants from Western countries will only grow louder. Deeply researched and featuring fresh and often shocking revelations, Prey uncovers a sexual assault and harassment crisis in Europe that is turning the clock on women’s rights much further back than the #MeToo movement is advancing it.

Preying Time
by Tracie Loveless-HillGod calls a special woman to be a pastor's wife.The Reverend Randall C. Harris, pastor of a large and prominent church, seems to have it all. Handsome, charismatic, influential, and well loved by his congregation and his beautiful wife, Reverend Harris is deeply spiritual. He's involved in the community and dedicated to his church members--especially the female members."Yes, I was a man of God, but first and foremost, I was a man." These words are Reverend Harris's rationale for the things he does that might not line up with Christian ethics. He truly believes he's entitled to pursue the delights of the flesh as long as he fulfills the duties of his ministry, but Reverend Harris will find that there are terrible consequences to pay when what should be praying time becomes preying time.
Prezzo Del Riscatto
by Taylor StormÈ meglio che tutti ci sforziamo di condurre una buona vita morale, poiché vediamo in questa storia del crimine che le azioni di tutte le persone si influenzano a vicenda. Il costo della redenzione è grande, ma il costo del peccato è ancora maggiore. Tutto dipende dalla natura fondamentale di una data persona e dalla vita che gli viene data. Le vite di Dolan, Ivan, Lily, Cynthia e padre Ignatius lo dimostrano. Tutti trovano la redenzione, ciascuno a modo suo, a suo tempo, a suo modo religioso. Per altri, il riscatto può essere estremamente costoso. Nel caso di Lily, la sua infanzia viziata e il fatto di essere cresciuta in una famiglia di militari travagliata le hanno fatto cercare conforto nelle cose materiali. La schiavitù personale e lo shopping compulsivo hanno aiutato Lily ad affrontare la morte di suo padre. La sua avidità le fece commettere uno dei peccati più atroci, l'atto di omicidio. Solo quando è andata in prigione ha finalmente trovato un po' di redenzione. Ivan era il peggiore dei padri, credendo che i suoi modi di culto luciferini dessero il diritto di abusare, torturare e uccidere gli altri. Dal momento che era stato nei circoli più alti, sapeva a chi avrebbe potuto denunciare tutti i crimini di traffico di droga, omicidio, tortura e altri atti illegali. Quelli con cui era coinvolto gli stavano dietro….quindi si rivolse alla chiesa ortodossa per chiedere aiuto…. Il figlio di Ivan, Nolan, dopo aver visto sua madre e sua sorella morire in un incendio era sicuro che suo padre fosse partito, e da cui è scappato, è cresciuto con la guida spirituale. Ha incontrato Lily e si è innamorato. Lo ha aiutato nel suo lavoro di beneficenza, ma la sua dipendenza dallo shopping ha messo un onere finanziario su Nolan e hanno divorziato anni dopo, lasciando Lily a depredare un uomo che ha incontrato e che credeva fosse ricco. Quando ha saputo che non lo era, lei e un conoscente hanno pianificato la sua morte per riscuotere l'assi
