Описание: ALL LIES IN TRUMPERLAND is a witty, satirical, political parody about the McDonald J Trumper and BoJo Jockstrap, written using the theme of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll. BoJo falls down the rabbit hole into Trumperland and meets a lot of the 'Alice' characters - metamorphosed into Trumper characters - as he wanders around. TSB, the author, has tried to fit into the book as many parodies as possible that relate to the real things that BoJo and the Trumper have done and made them poke at each other through the various characters. In addition, those chapters alternate with what he has called 'Meanwhile' chapters (i.e. meanwhile back at home) which are a reverse characterization of Melania and Trump, with her being the dominant one, as the Queen of Queens, and the Trumper being the grovelling 'Yes dear' guy. Enjoy ALL LIES IN TRUMPERLAND as it chronicles the bumbling foibles of two so-called 'world leaders' as they bounce from disaster to disaster in ever-deepening spirals of doom for their respective countries. The book covers many topics - but always with a satirical 'tongue in cheek' twist - including the 2016 election, border wall, Ukraine, Trumper's affairs, family and kids, London anti-Trumper protests, impeachment and up to the very early days of the coronavirus. And, likewise for BoJo, he has to deal with Brexit, defections in Parliament, allegations of Russian interference, his family and kids and mistresses and much more. All this is done through characters like the Cheshire Pussy, the Mad Hater, Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber, Roody-Doody, Bolt-On the Walrus, Moscow Mitch the Mock Turtle and Spicy Sean the Gryphon. Of course, no Trumper story would be complete without B.A.R.A.C.K O'Bama and Crooked Hillarious Clingfilm plus, it even has James Madison 'Father of the Constitution' sitting in judgement on the Trumper. Part of the theme is also BoJo seeing himself and the flaws in his own character in the Trumper - like looking in a mirror. The inspiration to write the book came as a result of watching the late-night talk shows which were royally taking the mickey out of Trump every night. People like Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Trevor Noah, James Corden, John Oliver, Bill Maher etc. Then TSB realised it wasn't just funny - it was also a terrible hit on democracy, law & order, colour, race, religion, the Constitution, life, the universe and everything. So, he also began to watch the nightly cable news shows of Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, Chris Hayes, Ari Melber, Joy Reid etc. and daily videos by Glenn Kirschner and take in all the really mind-blowing, serious stuff that was going on. Doing it in the style of a classic fairy story seemed to be the best way to tell the intertwined stories of BoJo and the Trumper. But, best of all, just before the book was published in September 2020, it was reported by celebrated author, Bob Woodward, that Jared Kushner had said that the best way to understand the Trumper presidency was by reading Alice in Wonderland. It's not quite straight from the horse's mouth, but it is a really good tip by the stableboy.

Описание: "The followers of Jesus are to be different," writes John Stott, "different from both the nominal church and the secular world, different from both the religious and the irreligious. The Sermon on the Mount is the most complete delineation anywhere in the New Testament of the Christian counter-culture." In the Sermon on the Mount, the "nearest thing to a manifesto" that Jesus ever uttered, we find Jesus' own description of what he wanted his followers to be and do. In this Bible Speaks Today volume, Stott guides readers through Jesus' well-known but often poorly understood teachings in Matthew 5 through 7. Leading us to listen carefully to the meaning of each verse in its context, Stott also confronts the challenges this text raises for today's Christians and draws out practical applications. This revised edition features lightly updated language, current NIV Scripture quotations and a new interior design. A seven-session study guide at the end of the book will help you more deeply ponder the message of the Sermon on the Mount and how it speaks to your life.
Christ's letters to the seven churches still resonate today. Like those ancient churches, most churches today lie somewhere on the continuum between flourishing and withering, between faithfulness and faithlessness, between comfort and persecution. Using seven key themes, John Stott illustrates the timeless relevance of Christ's exhortations and warnings to the universal church, while pointing to Christ, the Lamb turned Shepherd, who knows the unique opportunities and challenges that face each church. This is a helpful guide for preachers looking to feed their flock with this often visited passage from John's vision of the apocalypse.

Описание:
It is 3289 BCE when rumors of unusual people living in caves far from his land attract the attention of warrior leader Warlog. His shaman, Rayloc, fears the strangers are servants of evil determined to destroy his way of life.
Meanwhile, Sotif, History Man of the Alliance between Earth People and Sun People, tries to guard his culture against changes that could induce Mother Earth to withdraw her blessings--while Warlog focuses on severing that alliance, which has lasted for hundreds of generations, by subjugating the Sun People and destroying the Earth People. Faced with this threat, Sotif races to find the Sprit Fire to help his people defeat Warlog. But the key to success lies in the hands of Tincolad, one of Warlog's warriors who has been captured by the Alliance.
Now only time will tell if Sotif can persuade Tincolad to help find the Spirit Fire in time--as the fate of the Earth People hangs in the balance.
The second book in a trilogy about the interaction between Neandertals and Cro-Magnons, Sprit Fire presents an epic adventure that sweeps across prehistoric Europe, Asia, and Alaska, as the man who invented war embarks on a quest to conquer the world.

Описание:
During the summer after high school graduation, Randal Anderson finds his soul mate, Allyson Crawford, but there are problems. Allyson comes from an "old money," Catholic family in Boston, while Randal comes from a middleclass, Mormon family in Salt Lake. Their love is confirmed in an ancient spirit circle on the legendary mountain named Timpanogos. The difficult relationship breaks up when Randal makes a stupid mistake.
After years of regret, Randal marries Maria Elena, a Spanish teacher and flamenco dancer. The marriage of short-lived passion deteriorates, while Randal makes his mark in the computer business. As the marriage falters, Randal begins an erotic affair with another woman he knows he can never love. Maria is killed in a tragic traffic accident while Randal is driving their car. Randal, guilt-ridden, dedicates his life to raising their three children.
Though he has heard of Allyson's death, the memories of Timpanogos and that perfect summer love haunt his mind. As the children grow and prepare to leave home, Karen Troy comes into his life. Now he must finally rid himself of his phantom love, Allyson. He has a plan, but before he can implement it, he is led into the unexpected.
Self-Publishing Review:
Timpanogos is engaging and heartfelt. We follow Randal's journey, through all the day-to-day lumps and bumps of childhood, adolescence, and further, his self-discovery and dealings in the realms of romance providing a rather realistic and believable character ... Timpanogos is an unusual book, perhaps appealing to a slightly older YA readership with its traditional, 20th century retrospective - serial romance peppered with old-soul wisdom, and an accepting attitude toward loss and the gradual changes that sneak up in life. For people seeking a fresh, emotional read, Timpanogos is a very decent book to try out.
Rebecca's Reads
I would hesitate to call Glen R. Stott's novel, "Timpanogos" a coming of age story. It does start while the protagonist, Randal Anderson, is a seventh grader, but it winds far ahead into adulthood, giving the book a wider scope than normal for any story of adolescents. What we do have is a loving, well-crafted tale of a young man's life and loves, his wrestling with faith and his reckonings about how he wants to be and live. ... "Timpanogos" takes us right through to when Randal Anderson is a father himself. Many harsh realities have hit him by then but the beauty of the book is in the search for love and understanding. It is a book full of forgiveness and awakenings. ... It is done with honesty, a certain heartfulness, purity and goodwill. I felt clean reading "Timpanogos." ... He has captured youth and growing up, true love and faith, and maturing, exquisitely. The ending is life affirming. It will make you glad, with a smile to light a room.
