This year, however, her ghostly husband is telling her it's time to call it quits. Nothing in Newport goes as planned. Meg immediately crosses paths with a gruff and handsome cab driver named Evan Knight. Unknown to her, Evan is actually a bestselling fiction writer of reality-based novels. To research his stories, Evan always goes undercover, and this time he's living the life of a taxi driver. The last thing Evan wants is a relationship that will interfere with his carefully constructed life. The last thing Meg wants is a relationship with someone new. Robert, however, has other plans…

Espying Heaven: The Stained Glass of Charles Eamer Kempe and his Artists
by Adrian BarlowEspying Heaven presents the first full-scale and full-colour survey of the achievement of Charles Eamer Kempe (1837-1907), the outstanding stained-glass designer of his era, and his Studio. From the start, Kempe gathered around him a close-knit team of artists and craftsmen who together developed his vision of a distinctive aesthetic setting for worship based on late medieval art, especially the stained glass of northern Europe. Espying Heaven illustrates the evolution of the 'Kempe style' and allows readers to judge for themselves the extent to which the later firm of C.E. Kempe & Co. (1907- 1934), set up by Kempe himself, succeeded in working within the tradition established by his founding artists. This book is meant to be a companion to Adrian Barlow's biographical study, Kempe: the Life, Art and Legacy of Charles Eamer Kempe (2018). In its own right, Espying Heaven both documents and celebrates a style of church art and decoration that has had a defining influence upon the Anglican Church worldwide. It highlights key features of Kempe glass, exploring questions of representation, symbolism and technique and suggesting new ways of 'reading' a Kempe window.
Star Tales
by Ian RidpathEvery night, a pageant of Greek mythology circles overhead. Perseus flies to the rescue of Andromeda, Orion faces the charge of the snorting Bull, and the ship of the Argonauts sails in search of the Golden Fleece. Constellations are the invention of the human imagination, not of nature. They are an expression of the human desire to impress its own order upon the apparent chaos of the night sky. Modern science tells us that these twinkling points of light are glowing balls of gas, but the ancient Greeks, to whom we owe many of our constellations, knew nothing of this. Ian Ridpath, well-known astronomy writer and broadcaster, has been intrigued by the myths of the stars for many years. Star Tales is the first modern guide to combine all the fascinating myths in one book, illustrated with the beautiful and evocative engravings from two of the leading star atlases: Johann Bode's Uranographia of 1801 and John Flamsteed's Atlas Ceolestis of 1729. This is an excellent reference and the perfect gift for the armchair astronomer and those interested in classical mythology alike.
Liminal Reality and Transformational Power: Revised Edition: Transition, Renewal and Hope
by Timothy CarsonLiminal Reality and Transformational Power explores, draws together, and integrates the many facets of liminality, and informs our understanding of liminal phenomena in the world. Through anthropology, sociology, theology, neurology and psychology, Carson correlates exterior transitions with their corresponding intra-psychic movements and points toward useful methods that contribute to personal and social transformation. In this revised edition, Carson has recognised the resurgence of liminality, and addresses the social transitions that are prevalent today in communities around the world. He examines the identity of the 'liminal' person and highlights the role of ritual leaders and religious professionals as they guide people through liminal time and space. Carson's work greatly contributes to an expanded understanding of the complex dimensions of religious leadership and provides useful insight into our intra-psychic processes during the significant transitional stages in life.
Common Grace: God's Gifts for a Fallen World (Abraham Kuyper Collected Works in Public Theology)
by Abraham KuyperGod's Gifts for a Fallen World Common Grace is often considered Abraham Kuyper's crowning work, an exploration of how God expresses grace even to the unsaved. Kuyper firmly believed that though many people in the world will remain unconverted, God's grace is still shown to the world as a whole. In this third and final volume of Common Grace, Kuyper brings his argument to its logical completion by turning to practical implications. With detailed explorations on matters of church and state, family, upbringing, and society, Kuyper provides practical guidance for all who desire to flourish within the created order, a world in which God's grace is generously given to all.

Christ the Cornerstone: Collected Essays of John Stott (Best of Christianity Today)
by John StottWhat does it mean to say Jesus is Lord? The late Anglican pastor John Stott--named as one of the 100 most influential people in 2005 by Time magazine—was committed to the notion that Jesus' lordship has ramifications for all of life. Out of this conviction grew his contention that the whole mission of God includes both evangelism and social action. Christ the Cornerstone recovers several decades of his writings exploring the consequences of Jesus' lordship from the pages of Christianity Today, including the regular "Cornerstone" column he wrote from 1977–1981. In them, he treats such diverse topics as Scripture, discipleship, the worldwide mission of the church, and social concerns such as the value of human life, care for animals, racial diversity, and economic inequality. Gain insight for today from the writings of a guiding light of evangelicalism.

Carl F. H. Henry on the Holy Spirit (Studies in Historical and Systematic Theology)
by Jesse M. PayneRecover evangelicalism's foundations by returning to its architect.None doubt the influence of Carl F. H. Henry, the "theological architect" of contemporary evangelicalism. Through his prolific writing and editorial role in Christianity Today, Henry is known for addressing contemporary theology, individual and social ethics, and cultural criticism. But he has been critiqued for an underdeveloped pneumatology.In Carl F. H. Henry on The Holy Spirit, Jesse M. Payne argues that Henry cannot truly be understood apart from his mature pneumatology. The Spirit plays a vital role in three major areas of Henry's theology: revelation, ecclesiology, and ethics. These seemingly disparate topics are tied together by his view of a Spirit--inspired Bible ordering a Spirit--enlivened body composed of Spirit--filled believers. Readers will gain a more holistic view of Henry, the role of the Spirit in his life and thought, and early neo--evangelical theology.

Preaching the Word with John Chrysostom (Lived Theology)
by Gerald BrayLearn from the early church's greatest preacher. John of Antioch, later called "chrysostomos" ("golden mouth"), preached over 600 extant sermons. He was one of the most prolific authors in the early Church, surpassed only by Augustine of Hippo. His example and work has inspired countless Christians through the ages. In Preaching the Word with Chrysostom, through a combination of storytelling and theology, Gerald Bray reflects upon 1,500 year-old pastoral wisdom from one of church history's most prolific Christ-centered preachers. Chrysostom's eloquent preaching and influence on Christian teaching left a legacy that is still recognized today. The Lived Theology series explores aspects of Christian doctrine through the eyes of the men and women who practiced it. Interweaving the contributions of notable individuals alongside their overshadowed contemporaries, we gain a much deeper understanding and appreciation of their work and the broad tapestry of Christian history. These books illuminate the vital contributions made by these figures throughout the history of the church.
Documents of the English Reformation (Library of Ecclesiastical History)
by Gerald BrayThe Reformation era has long been seen as crucial in developing the institutions and society of the English-speaking peoples, and study of the Tudor and Stuart era is at the heart of most courses in English history. The influence of the Book of Common Prayer and the King James version of the Bible created the modern English language, but until the publication of Gerald Bray's Documents of the English Reformation there had been no collection of contemporary documents available to show how these momentous social and political changes took place. This comprehensive collection covers the period from 1526 to 1700 and contains many texts previously relatively inaccessible, along with others more widely known. The book also provides informative appendixes, including comparative tables of the different articles and confessions, showing their mutual relationships and dependence. With fifty-eight documents covering all the main Statutes, Injunctions and Orders, Prefaces to prayer books, Biblical translations and other relevant texts, thi62620620p 620p20p s third edition of Docume
Learning from Action: Working with the Non-verbal
by R. D. Hinshelwood and Luca MingarelliSince the early 1990s, Enrico Pedriali with R. D. Hinshelwood organised workshops in Italy known as the learning from action workshops. This novel approach evolved from applying the principles of therapeutic communities to a group relations form of experiential conference. The group relation tradition, however, does not focus particularly on mental health organisations and tends to focus on senior management issues of leadership and authority. In contrast, the learning from action workshops are tailored to the care workers engaged in the direct work, in particular for those working with clients and patients with significant problems with verbal and symbolic communication. The workshops also include an element of research into the unconscious messaging systems employed in making relations, which contribute to therapeutic and other mental health care services. There are also chapters on a related form of workshop - the living and learning experience - which was established primarily for learning about therapeutic communities, which bring further insight to working practices. The book brings together a community of 21 authors: Giada Boletti, Louisa Diana Brunner, Davide Catullo, Heather Churchill, John Diamond Donna M. Elmendorf, Giovanni Foresti, Rex Haigh, R. D. Hinshelwood, Yuko Kawai, Eriko Koga, Jan Lees, Simona Masnata, Luca Mingarelli, Gilad Ovadia, Mario Perini, Barbara Rawlings, Antonio Sama, Edward R. Shapiro, Lili Valko, and Zsolt Zalka. It will be a must-read for those working in mental health care. The information within will be of use to those new to the profession, for whom there is often very little preparation or reading material, and also to more senior members to use not only for their own development but also in training and research activities in mental health.

Infallibility, Integrity and Obedience: The Papacy and the Roman Catholic Church, 1848-2023
by John M. RistThe doctrinal and structural revolution currently underway in the Roman Catholic Church is alarming for several reasons, not least because of the arbitrary nature of its imposition and the absence of resistance it has encountered. The reluctance of many to challenge the authority of the pope, tied to the increasing personal veneration by the faithful of each successive incumbent of the Holy See, is arguably a symptom of unresolved unclarity surrounding the nature of authority in the Church dating back to the First Vatican Council. In Infallibility, Integrity and Obedience, John Rist unflinchingly exposes the developments that have bred this crisis of understanding - and the resulting rejection of tradition in the papal agenda - over the past hundred and fifty years. Reserving particular attention for the Roman Catholic dilemmas, political and theological, of the 1930s, the mid-twentieth-century debates on reproductive technology, and the advent of 'celebrity autocracy', he shows how a misapprehension of the nature and definition of papal infallibility is at the root of the major issues facing the Church today. Most importantly, he proposes how the conciliar and individual decisions that have led to the current situation might be reversed, and how the proper role of the Pope can be reclaimed for the good of the Church.
Témoin Oculaire: Un Thriller
by Tina FolsomCe n'est pas de la paranoïa s'ils en ont vraiment après toi... Emily Warner, professeur de musique aveugle, recouvre la vue grâce à une greffe. Toutefois, revoir ne s'avère pas de tout repos et la catapulte même sur un chemin semé d'embûches. Alors qu'elle commence à enquêter sur les visions qu'elle perçoit, elle découvre que celles-ci lui sont en réalité envoyées par l'individu à qui appartenaient les cornées utilisées lors de la greffe, et que la mort de cette personne n'était pas due à un simple accident. En décidant de prouver que son donneur a été assassiné, elle se retrouve rapidement dans le viseur du tueur. Mais peu importe les risques, elle se doit de le démasquer avant qu'une autre jeune fille ne meure de sa main... et avant qu'Emily ne devienne sa prochaine victime. Un thriller à suspense au rythme soutenu se déroulant au sein de l'élite de Washington D.C. Un thriller psychologique captivant par Tina Folsom - BestThrillers.com Un mélange réussi de thriller psychologique et de science-fiction, à la fois captivant, inquiétant et émouvant. Quinze ans après un accident de voiture l'ayant privée de sa vue et de sa famille, Emily Warner, 30 ans, recouvre la vue grâce à une miraculeuse greffe de cornée. Il s'agit en fait de sa deuxième opération. La première avait échoué, et pas seulement à cause d'un rejet de son corps. En effet, peu après l'opération, des visions avaient tourmenté Emily au point de la rendre folle. Après le succès de sa deuxième opération, Emily est de nouveau confrontée à des souvenirs troublants qui ne sont pas les siens. Son médecin rejette la théorie de la mémoire cellulaire, mais cela n'empêche pas Emily d'être bien déterminée à découvrir l'identité de son donneur – et du meurtrier de celui-ci. L'auteure Tina Folsom a créé un thriller de haut niveau qui fait feu de tout bois. L'histoire se déroule à Washington D.C et met en scène des personnages fascinants, comme un courtier d'armes, un membre du cercle rapproché du président américain, et Adam Yang, l'inspecteur du coin. Avec tact, Folsom dépeint ce dernier comme un enquêteur inébranlable, bien que quelque peu prévisible et en proie au désarroi face à son mariage brisé et ses querelles de juridictions. Yang, figure centrale de l'intrigue, allie persévérance et esprit d'enquête, tandis qu'Emily, dotée de pouvoirs surnaturels et avide de mystères à résoudre, apporte la dimension complémentaire afin de faire d'eux une alliance parfaite. Folsom comprend également l'importance de ne pas brûler toutes ses cartouches. Plutôt que de dévoiler d'emblée le passé et la psychologie d'Emily, l'autrice révèle des éléments évocateurs à des moments opportuns au fur et à mesure que l'histoire progresse, tantôt directement au lecteur, tantôt à la meilleure amie d'Emily. Résultat : un thriller haletant, riche en rebondissements inattendus à chaque tournant.

Large-Group Psychology: Racism, Societal Divisions, Narcissistic Leaders and Who We Are Now
by Vamik Volkan2021 Gradiva Award Winner Following the deadly 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, numerous recent, and fatal, attacks on mosques, churches, and synagogues occurring worldwide, and increasing totalitarianism and paranoia spreading through many countries, Dr Vamik Volkan could no longer ignore the urge to write a new book about large-group problems. In many countries, people are asking the metaphorical question "Who are we now?" and coming up with seemingly opposite answers. This book looks into the reasons why this is happening. With a summary of Sigmund Freud's ideas about large groups - which focus on the individual - Dr Volkan builds on this base to explain what large-group psychology is in its own right and applies it to present-day society. How it develops in adulthood, the psychology of decision-making and political leader/follower relationships, political propaganda, and exaggerated narcissism in leaders are all examined. We are all members of at least one large group. Looking into large-group identity provides background data for investigating the spread of racism, authoritarian regimes, malignant political propaganda, wall building, and interferences with democratic processes and human rights issues. Large-Group Psychology: Racism, Societal Divisions, Narcissistic Leaders and Who We Are Now is the perfect book for those questioning what is happening in society today and why.
Paul: The Theology of the Apostle in the Light of Jewish Religious History (Library of Theological Translations)
by Hj SchoepsA major study of the apostle to the Gentiles, combining exceptional scholarship with an unusual approach. Schoeps interprets Paul's theology in the light of his Jewish background, which coloured and conditioned his Christological teaching. Paul's conception of Jesus differs from that of the Synoptics: what and how extensive the difference is and whence it is derived are among the questions Schoeps examines. After surveying major problems in Pauline research, the Author relates the apostle to primitive Christianity, discussing his eschatology and his teachings on salvation, the law, and saving history. The final chapter shows that Paul's distinctive doctrines result from two converging factors, that Paul never saw Jesus in the flesh, and the influence of Jewish teaching. The consequence was his concern with the resurrected Saviour of the world, the pre-existent and eternal Son of God. Schoeps shows that Paul betrayed a fundamental misconception of the law and the covenantal agreement between God and his chosen people.
