It's easy to assume that French words mean the same as English words when they look and sound pretty much the same. Unfortunately, some of these words may have entirely different meanings. They are called false friends, or faux amis. These faux amis can cause misunderstandings and awkward situations when they mean something entirely different than what you expected. Still More Faux Amis will help you avoid these embarrassing situations. It's written in conversational language and is easy and fun to read. Each faux ami word pair is explained so that you will understand how the French word is used compared to English usage. You'll also see examples in sentences and phrases. When you've finished reading this book, you will have learned most of these faux amis without ever having had to consciously memorize them, simply because they're so interesting.

Where is our soul? How did it get there? What makes it grow? Does God love everyone? Is our anger at God justified? How do we face hardship and death? Patricia Hofer covers these questions and more in her new book, Yielding to Wonder. She has found that fresh answers and new understanding revitalize faith. Instead of being a hindrance, this spiritual hunger and discontent in every heart is a gift from God! Second in a series, Yielding to Wonder continues the day-by-day journey that began in Driving into the Dawn. Each short chapter begins with a question. The various answers Hofer offers are personal and yet far-reaching. They spring from her years of research, study, prayer, and a relationship with the Lord that has thrived for over twenty years. Hofer's first book, Power of Yielding, was an inspiring mental pilgrimage, relating her dramatic conversion experience and describing the personal awakening that resulted from it. Today Hofer continues to read widely, searching for similar spiritual awakenings in the lives of other Christians and for the most fundamental and essential Christian truths. Are you ready for a journey that renews your faith and strengthens your relationship with God? If so, some of the questions and answers in this book may be the inspiration that sets you on your way. About the Author Patricia Hofer ended her high school teaching career in the early 1980s and found her way to the Christian Science Publishing Society in Boston. Besides learning to research and edit, she eventually had several articles published. After returning to Arizona, she taught freshman English and technical writing at Glendale Community College. She is currently retired and living in the lovely mountain town of Payson, Arizona.

The Finns had a name for it: tuntaria. It meant a barren land, one which to them was frozen and devoid of life. Look deeper the voices of the inutshuks whispered mysteriously, find the way. When two adolescence boys accompany their fathers into the desolate wilderness of the Canadian tundra, they enter the extraordinary land of the native Inuit whose values of life, death, and community define a home much unlike their own. Their lives are molded forever by the rough, no-nonsense men they meet, the beautiful animals they hunt, the proximity of disaster at every turn, and the hypnotic dance of the Northern Lights. We all search for our own destiny. We question our legacy and ironically often find final salvation and our individual God sitting quietly by the side of the road, patiently waiting for us to Go With on a journey of personal discovery which is not to be missed.

Do you sometimes have doubts about your Christian beliefs and your spirituality? Are you confronted with questions of faith more often than you want to be? Does your heart yearn for the confidence and joy that come with the Lord's "second blessing"? If so, Patricia Hofer is offering you an invitation to travel along with her, to find new meaning and practicality in the Lord's sanctifying grace. Her short chapters offer readable, daily installments, some that will reassure you and some that will provoke further study. Each reflects how the Lord works in our hearts day by day, coming to us most often in the small moves of singly focused thoughts. Hofer's first book Power of Yielding was an inspiring mental pilgrimage, where she related her dramatic conversion experience and described the personal relationship with the Lord that resulted from it. Today Hofer continues to read widely, searching for similar spiritual awakenings in the lives of other Christians and for the most fundamental and essential Christian truths. Her earlier background in Christian Science and decades of research, study, and prayer since leaving that denomination give her writing a unique, refreshing perspective. Perhaps some of the Lord's answers to Hofer's many questions are meant for you as well.

Stuart Adams, a moderately successful novelist, wants to write the big book that will make him rich. A serendipitous encounter with aging eccentric Wes Barnes may provide a ticket to the wealth he seeks. Barnes has been on a decades-long search for an ancient scroll believed to contain knowledge that could have a profound impact on global consciousness. He hires Adams to chronicle the expedition and publicize the scroll''s contents-if they can find it.The assignment sets Adams and Dr. Niki Mikos, a fiery Greek archeologist, on a perilous journey to the Mediterranean and an exploding volcano that may hold the prize they seek. Along the way he is dogged by strong memories of a place he has never been. His confusion grows when a Pialigarian priestess tells him it is his destiny to undergo a ritual involving a deadly labyrinth. If he succeeds, she says, the planet will become "sweet with the fragrance of peace." If he fails, he will lose his life. Her suggestion is nonsense, of course—superstitious mumbo jumbo that has nothing to do with his destiny.Or so he thinks.
