Sloane West is an ex-New York City cop turned private investigator, Irish whiskey aficionado, and untrained witch in an emotional slump. Her mother just died, and her ex-best friend and ex-lover have sent her an invitation to their upcoming nuptials. Thankfully, a solicitor arrives and distracts her faster than a night of drinking Jameson neat with news that Sloane has inherited her late grandparents'—who she didn't know existed—island estate.

On a scorching day in August 1954, 13-year-old Jubie Watts leaves Charlotte, North Carolina, with her family for a Florida vacation. Crammed into the Packard along with Jubie are her three siblings, her mother, and the family’s black maid, Mary Luther.

When Jean Tirole won the 2014 Nobel Prize in Economics, he suddenly found himself being stopped in the street by complete strangers and asked to comment on issues of the day, no matter how distant from his own areas of research. His transformation from academic economist to public intellectual prompted him to reflect further on the role economists and their discipline play in society. The result is Economics for the Common Good, a passionate manifesto for a world in which economics, far from being a "dismal science," is a positive force for the common good.

Fatherhood isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither are the stories behind it. Hey Dad brings honest, sometimes hard, always meaningful conversations about what it means to show up as a dad, stepdad, bonus dad, or father figure. We also explore the impact of father absence and how it shapes adulthood, relationships, and identity—through real voices and real experiences.

Dans ce livre sont comparées les deux doctrines nonbibliques issues du christianisme, que sont le légalisme et l'antonimisme, pour dégager ensuite ce que l'auteur appelle la troisième voie, celle de Dieu Lui-même, celle que l'on pourrait appeler aussi la deuxième partie de l'Évangile, sa partie pratique, celle qui suit la nouvelle naissance. Cette troisième voie découle de la prophétie faite en Ezekiel 36:27, ainsi que de deux versets de Paul, Galates 2:20 et Philippiens 2:13. À la suite de l'auteur, dans une minutieuse recherche à travers la Parole de Dieu, vous vous ...

On the landscape of the Christian hermit life, Paul Giustiniani (1476 - 1528), Blessed by fame, is a towering figure. To him that dazzling genius, Jean Leclercq, O.S.B., devoted two of his finest monastic studies. We are pleased to offer them here: the biography, never before published in English; and the doctrinal synthesis, Alone with God, much-loved when it first appeared and out-of-print for over a generation. And that is not all. Leclercq's masterpieces are flanked on the left by a variegated general introduction and on the right by selections from Blessed Paul's Rule, a translation of...

Dans ce petit opuscule, l’auteur se replonge avec grande émotion dans les textes de la nativité, pour chercher à en dégager une vision biblique aussi complète que possible de l’Incarnation et de la double Nature de Jésus-Christ, à la fois Homme et Dieu. Il en profite pour re méditer aussi sur l’aspect trinitaire de notre Dieu. Au passage, il se remémore, entre autres, les divers Conciles qui ont jalonné les premiers siècles du Christianisme, pour proposer des Credos (des Symboles) qui ont quasiment acquis le statut de textes presque aussi inspirés que la Parole de Dieu ...

Destiné à l'origine à proposer un chemin pour se constituer un Credo personnel, ce petit livre vous emmènera, en fait, à travers de très nombreuses citations bibliques, à redécouvrir les trois éléments essentiels et fondamentaux de la 'Vraie Foi Chrétienne'. Ces trois éléments sont : le Salut, la Vie par le Saint-Esprit et l'Espérance du retour de Jésus-Christ, de la résurrection et de la vie éternelle. L'auteur, en toute humilité, dans un esprit de soumission à Dieu, et en se laissant conduire par le Saint-Esprit, n'hésite pas à remettre en question certaines doctrines...

One thing is certain in this life: We will all experience hardship and pain. But with God as our caring Father, we can also be certain the trials we face are not simply mysteries beyond understanding, but opportunities to be shaped for a glory beyond imagination.

If I could go back to the morning before the gala, trust my gut, and stay home, I would in a heartbeat. But that's not possible, so I'm stuck with the repercussions. Because of what I am—not who, mind you—there's a whole new set of rules for me to follow. And I'm doing it completely exposed. Laid bare for the entirety of the preternatural population to gawk, trash, and threaten. But I can't let that deter me from doing the one thing I need to do. Master my magic.

La violencia no son solo gritos y golpes. Hay muchas formas de violencia menos espectaculares. Más sutiles y insidiosas. A veces, la violencia invisible es «normal». Es «útil». Permite expresar frustración, o tomar una decisión que nos hace progresar. Sin embargo, en muchas ocasiones, la violencia invisible es «tóxica». Peor aún: hace que quien la sufre se hunda en una profunda sensación de naufragio vital. Jean-Charles Bouchoux quiere visibilizar este fenómeno, desvelar los mecanismos psicológicos que lo desencadenan y ofrecernos herramientas y pautas para superarlo.

Each night, when the hours of painting and drawing were over, Vincent van Gogh put pen to paper and poured out his heart through letters to his beloved brother Theo, his confidant and companion. No thought was too small, no element of his craft too insignificant, no happening too trivial. It was all scrupulously recorded and shared. In these letters, Van Gogh reveals himself as artist and man. Even more than if he had purposely intended to tell his life story, Van Gogh’s letters lay bare his deepest feelings, as well as his everyday concerns and his views of the world of art.
