Описание: In a southern California town ablaze with sordid secrets, a free-spirited biologist and a straitlaced sheriff join forces to investigate a suspicious killing--and find themselves getting a little too close to the flames...

Shay Phillips knows her way around Dark Canyon. She's handy with a gun and can track a wild animal with the best of them. It's humans who usually give her the most trouble. And with a hormonally charged teenage brother to raise--and an admitted weakness for the wrong kind of man--they're giving her plenty of trouble these days. Then there's the matter of murder. As an expert on mountain lions, Shay is skeptical when a local prostitute turns up mauled without a drop of blood near the body.

Now, together with the town's newly arrived sheriff, Luke Meza--a Las Vegas city boy with his own dark secrets--Shay must navigate a dangerous valley filled with angry ex-lovers, unfaithful spouses, and poisonous snakes in a desperate search for the killer. But when suspicion falls on her own brother, and her attraction to Luke rages into a full-on erotic affair, can Shay quell the fires inside her long enough to uncover the truth?

Описание: In this heart-stopping novel, Jill Sorenson delivers a romantic thriller featuring one too-tough female agent, one too-hot male suspect, and a head-on erotic collision....

Though he'd gone into virtual seclusion, Ben Fortune was still the world's most famous surfer, known as much for his good looks as for his skill. He's also a suspect in a series of brutal murders that may have begun with his late wife. Now FBI Special Agent Sonora "Sonny" Vasquez has been sent undercover to the elite beach community of La Jolla to make friends with Fortune. With her fierce beauty and take-no-prisoners attitude, she's more than equipped for the job, and soon she and Ben have collided in an affair that is both intense and irresistible. But for the first--and worst--time in Sonny's career, her emotions are threatening to get the better of her. Could this sensual, wounded man, who is genuinely anguished over his troubled daughter, really be a killer? And could falling in love blind Sonny to the greatest danger of all?

Описание: Description: Every Christian is assailed by the gales of temptation, but those in professional ministry face fiercer storms than the rest. As C. H. Spurgeon warned, contrary to what is often assumed, ""our dangers are more numerous and more insidious than those of ordinary Christians."" This perspective was shared by the unified voice of the historic church, leading some patristic church fathers to initially flee the call to ministry. The same dangers were repeatedly identified in the writings of the early English pastoral theologians as they sought to mentor their prot g s in successful ministry. A Most Dangerous Profession surfaces these gems so often overlooked in historic Christian literature, and ends with their practical advice on how to overcome. As both a pastoral and spiritual theology, A Most Dangerous Profession is bound to add an important voice to the ongoing dialog about pastoral self-care. Endorsements: ""Eric Sorenson has done an important piece of work in retrieval--making available for us the pastoral wisdom of the ecumenical and historical church. He reinforces work done by others on Gregory of Nazianzus, John Chrysostom, and Gregory the Great. His recovery of the pastoral theology and practice in the English church in the centuries following the Reformation is both timely and refreshing. We owe the author our gratitude for his digging in the good soil of ministry past, and for his handing it on to us."" --Andrew Purves Professor of Reformed Theology Pittsburgh Theological Seminary ""Assembling an array of pastoral voices, drawn primarily from the Church Fathers and the English Reformation, Eric Sorenson explores with great skill the 'dangerous' work of ministry. He reminds us again of the high and hazardous call to ministry which demands attention not only to the normal stresses of a high-demand job but to the special dangers of pastoral ministry and the need to develop those habits of spiritual health that will sustain pastors over the long haul. This is a book that is partly history, as Dr. Sorenson tells the stories of various pastors in their social contexts, partly theology, as he discusses the trials and temptations of ministry, and partly practical, as he seeks to make this material accessible and useful to contemporary pastors in his call to retreat (retirement), self-knowledge, and study. In the end, what Dr. Sorenson has produced is the very thing he has been writing about, namely, a manual for pastoral ministry in the twenty-first century."" --Richard Peace Robert Boyd Munger Professor of Evangelism and Spiritual Formation Fuller Theological Seminary About the Contributor(s): Eric Sorenson is Dean and Professor of Pastoral Theology and Ministry at Pacific Islands Evangelical Seminary in Guam. He is a graduate of Fuller and Princeton Theological Seminaries and has over twenty years of pastoral experience. He and his wife, Karyn, have four children.

Описание:

The current crises involving ISIS have attracted worldwide attention to the complex politics and cultural panorama of the Middle East, including Syria. Political analyst and author David S. Sorenson discusses the the ongoing civil war in Syria from its origins, to its key players, and to its propagation into neighboring countries. In the process, the work delves into Syria's demographics, history, economy, and security to illustrate the civil war's impact on the Middle East and the world. This in-depth analysis covers the Assad regime, ISIS's role in the region, possible outcomes of the conflict, and security implications for the country.

Starting with a history of Syria, the work identifies the factors that have contributed to the onset and continuation of the civil war, moves on to an analysis of the outbreak and growth of the war, and points out key factors that fueled its intensity. A look at the Islamic State considers the internationalization of the Syrian civil war, explaining how the addition of many parties outside of Syria have made the war more violent and protracted. The book concludes by considering alternative endings for the conflict and addressing the role of world powers in the conflict and its outcome.
