He prays no one learns of his secret desperation or there will be a panic about the future of the festival, which everyone relies on to fill their own coffers. The only way to save his estate and the town is to find an heiress to wed before time runs out.¿After five years away, Leah Webster returns home as the companion to a wealthy young Society lady who is in search of a husband. Her employer quickly captures the attention of Leah's oldest friend...and longtime secret tendre. Leah is determined to prevent the terrible mismatch between the provincial Phin and the High Society jewel until she discovers Phin's noble reasons for the courtship. Though her own heart will surely break, Leah hatches an imprudent plan to save her town and the man she still loves.
Facing up to Benjamin Péret's demand that poets 'show by total non-conformity their opposition to the world' this little book embodies refusal. It's perverse offering of 97 ways of looking at what cannot be seen refuses, in particular, to grow into a 'well-greased body of work'. Playfully anti-misrerabilist in their attack, the poems take the ball early and smack it in different directions all at the same time.Jeremy Over
The purpose of this book is to introduce children of all ages to God, the Creator of the universe, as He is presented in the Holy Bible. It is written to help them see that He has made every one of them, loves them, has planned a path for their lives if they choose to follow it, and has provided them with the talents to do the work He has planned for them to do. Additionally, He is a God who has set down rules for living in this world He has created, which He expects them to obey. He is also revealed as a God who cares about every detail of their lives, and who is willing to forgive when they have disobeyed if they come to Him in genuine repentance.
Some stories are told in the warm light of a merry summer afternoon with echoes of friendly laughter or a single tear shed in compassionate sorrow.These are not those stories.These are tales only whispered of when the sun has set and darkness has descended on the land. Tales told gathered round a warm fire for protection and comfort against the chill of their contents.A deal with the devil. A doomed expedition. The restless dead. Cursed objects. Cosmic horrors beyond mortal comprehension from the depths of the oceans and distant realities. Some will make you shudder. Some will make you think. Some will leave you afraid. Some will leave you contemplating the frailty of existence. These are no ordinary tales, these areTALES TOLD AT MIDNIGHT

These are the struggles, the human dramas and small miracles that created the practice of orthopedic and spine surgery. Every 3.6 seconds, someone, somewhere in the world is getting a new hip, knee or other orthopedic treatment as if it were a normal part of an aging life. Yet, before 1960, hip or knee replacement didn't exist. Figuring out how to treat end-stage arthritic joints, cancer ridden, deformed or broken bones was a tortuous journey. In just four decades, by the year 2000, modern orthopedics and spine care was created. For patients around the world, modern orthopedic surgery bestowed large and small miracles. Here is how the modern practice of fixing degenerative, diseased or fractured bones, muscles and nerves took root and grew. Major branches of medicine do not just happen. It took 160 years to get to John Charnley. then just 40 years to assemble and deploy the global modern practice of orthopedic and spine surgery. to do so required a revolution of routinely safe and reproducible procedures, instruments and implants. Many of the pioneers are still among us. Their stories are the backbone of this book. In retrospect, the urgent imperative to heal - despite a lack of knowledge and tools - drove these visionary surgeons, engineers and manufacturers forward. Theories were tested. Advances came agonizingly slowly at first. By the 1980s, it was a flat out race. In another sense, the lesson of this history is the indispensability of collaboration - surgeons and manufacturers, engineers and scientists, managers and sales people. This book is the first in a series. It covers the underground part of a largely untold medical history - the roots of the largest sector in medicine.
The set to which this volume belongs is informally entitled "The Eternal Series," because each volume of the set unfolds an aspect of the reality of God's relationship with humanity that reaches from eternity past to eternity future. The formal title of the series is "An Evangelical Introduction to Reformational Theology." Here are the volume titles: Part I: Scripture: The Revealed Source For TheologyI/1 The Eternal Word: God Speaking To UsI/2 The Eternal Torah: Living Under GodPart II: God: The Personal Source Behind TheologyII/1 The Eternal God: God Revealing Himself To UsII/2 The Eternal Christ: God With UsII/3 The Eternal Spirit: God Living In UsPart III: Redemption: The Christ-Centered Heart of TheologyIII/1 The Eternal Purpose: Living In ChristIII/2 Eternal Righteousness: Living Before GodIII/3 Eternal Salvation: Christ Dying For UsIII/4 Eternal Life: Christ Living In UsPart IV: Consummation: The Lived Shape of TheologyIV/1 The Eternal People: God in Relation To IsraelIV/2 The Eternal Covenant: Living With GodIV/3 The Eternal Kingdom: Living Under ChristPart V: Method: The Comprehensive Foundation of TheologyV/1 Eternal Truth: The Prolegomena of TheologyThese volumes have been written for the informed Christian who is somewhat familiar with both the Bible and Christian theology.As you will learn in these volumes, that order-first Bible and then theology-is crucially important. So too is the distinction (but not the separation!) between these two: the Bible is not theology, and theology is not the Bible. Both following that order and honoring that distinction are prerequisites for healthy, charitable, and enduring Christianity.Dr. Willem J. Ouweneel is a Dutch author whose three doctorates-one each in biology, philosophy, and theology-rank him among the premier Bible scholars of this generation, and equip him with breadth of vision and depth of insight.When these volumes are read alongside an open Bible, the patient reader will acknowledge the authority of the claims being defended. The reader's certitude will ultimately come to rest, not in any particular theological system or model, but in the inspired, infallible Word of God, and more importantly, in the God of that Word. As such, this entire series and these volumes are fresh and faithful reformulations of the essence of biblical faith and life as that was transmitted throughout the centuries, was rediscovered in the Reformation, and has come to be known as Reformational theology: sola Scriptura, sola gratia, sola fide, solus Christus, soli Deo gloria.
