Описание: A MURDER BEGINS AND ENDS this story of scandal and tragedy in a college town. You'll meet some memorable characters here - most of them hair-raising - as novelist Vin Packer spins out a sinister excursion with the cool, campy kids of Far Point College, New York. It's a wild, wild joyride - from Thunderbird to Bluebird, from classroom to Cheetah, with stops on the way at rent-by-the-hour motel rooms. You'll watch in horror as the Pucci-Plantagenet crowd burns up the roads, heading for that sickening, inevitable crash . . . that jolting confrontation with the reality they can't escape . . . with THE HARE IN MARCH.
In her book Daughters of Eve, Lyn Packer delves deep into Scripture to discover God's heart and intent for women. She also explores history, both in society and in the church, to expose how far we have wandered from that original plan and presents us with a clear pathway back. In doing so she establishes herself as an inspirational and prophetic voice that calls us back to God's original plan for mankind - both women and men. That plan is glorious, and God is calling us today to rediscover and walk in the fullness of it.
Lyn also shares her personal journey from a childhood of abuse, to being suppressed within the church, (the story of many women worldwide), and eventually to freedom. Her story is inspirational and compelling reading, and it offers people everywhere the knowledge that in Christ they truly can experience life in all its fullness.
In this book you'll discover:
- God's original glorious plan for man and woman and how we strayed from that
- Historical and current global and church perspectives
- How Jesus and Paul viewed and treated women
- A detailed study of Paul's controversial Scripture passages
- Understanding of what is at stake if we don't address this issue
- Insight into how to move forward from where we are today

Описание: From the award-winning author of The Unwinding--the brilliantly told saga of the ambition, idealism, and hubris of one of the most legendary and complicated figures in recent American history, set amid the rise and fall of U.S. power from Vietnam to Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke was brilliant, utterly self-absorbed, and possessed of almost inhuman energy and appetites. Admired and detested, he was the force behind the Dayton Accords that ended the Balkan wars, America's greatest diplomatic achievement in the post-Cold War era. His power lay in an utter belief in himself and his idea of a muscular, generous foreign policy. From his days as a young adviser in Vietnam to his last efforts to end the war in Afghanistan, Holbrooke embodied the postwar American impulse to take the lead on the global stage. But his sharp elbows and tireless self-promotion ensured that he never rose to the highest levels in government that he so desperately coveted. His story is thus the story of America during its era of supremacy: its strength, drive, and sense of possibility, as well as its penchant for overreach and heedless self-confidence. In Our Man, drawn from Holbrooke's diaries and papers, we are given a nonfiction narrative that is both intimate and epic in its revelatory portrait of this extraordinary and deeply flawed man and the elite spheres of society and government he inhabited.
Описание: Comforting savory and sweet breads, buns, pastries, cakes, cookies and many other baked delights inspired by the flavors of the Middle East, from the husband-and-wife duo who have taken the London culinary world by storm. At Honey & Co., there is always something sweet in the oven, all day long . . . "Our day is marked by what comes out of the pastry section, and there's always something good on the way: sticky buns full of cherries and pistachios in the morning; a loaf of rich dough rolled with chocolate, hazelnuts and cinnamon that has been proving since dawn and comes out of the oven fresh for elevenses. Lunch is a crisp, crumbly shell of pastry filled with spiced lamb or burnt eggplant, and at teatime there are cheesecakes and fruit cakes, small cakes and massive cookies - so many cakes that it's hard to choose one. (There's no need to worry, whatever you choose will be great ) After dinner there might be poached peaches with roses, or something more traditional, sweet and salty--"Knafe" drenched in orange blossom syrup, or maybe just a small piece of fresh marzipan." These recipes for family-favorite pastries and reinvented savory dishes (from shakshuka to moussaka) pair with the inside stories of running London's most exciting restaurant: a perfect follow-up to 2015's celebrated "Honey & Co.: The Cookbook."

Описание: The Lesson - According to Kicks... Heine pointed the knife at her. O.K., Lady Godiva, take off the blouse. She stood motionless, unable to answer or move. Go ahead, Heine said. Take that piece-of-nothing off. The boy's shoulders slumped and he began to groan. Brace, mister! Bar shouted. He put a fist in the boy's gut, and the boy sank to his knees in the dirt, weeping helplessly. O.K., green-belly, Bar said. Stay there. Your turn comes next. Dazedly the girl undid her blouse. Heine reached and yanked it off her shoulders. She stood there quivering, her pink slip plain and worn. Behind them, Manny began to cough. Johnny stood rooted to the place from where he watched. Let the straps down, Heine said to the girl. Please. Please... Do what I tell you. Heine held the knife menacingly. The boy began to pray softly in Spanish. She raised trembling fingers to her bare shoulders and slipped the straps over them. The top of her slip and her bra fell to her waist. Let her go, Manny whispered. You ought to let her go now. Huh? Let her go! Bar shouted. What are you worried about, mister? We're just teaching these two juvenile delinquents a lesson. Don't you understand that, mister? We're going to teach these two juvenile delinquents a lesson they're never, never going to forget. He drew his foot back violently and kicked the boy in the groin. Isn't that right, green-belly? The boy's scream of pain rent the air of the summer night.

The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq recounts how the United States set about changing the history of the Middle East and became ensnared in a guerrilla war in Iraq. It brings to life the people and ideas that created the Bush administration's war policy and led America to the Assassins' Gate--the main point of entry into the American zone in Baghdad.
The Assassins' Gate also describes the place of the war in American life: the ideological battles in Washington that led to chaos in Iraq, the ordeal of a fallen soldier's family, and the political culture of a country too bitterly polarized to realize such a vast and morally complex undertaking. George Packer's best-selling first-person narrative combines the scope of an epic history with the depth and intimacy of a novel, creating a masterful account of America's most controversial foreign venture since Vietnam.

Seismic shifts during a single generation have created a country of winners and losers, allowing unprecedented freedom while rending the social contract, driving the political system to the verge of breakdown, and setting citizens adrift to find new paths forward. In "The Unwinding," George Packer, author of "The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq," tells the story of the United States over the past three decades in an utterly original way, with his characteristically sharp eye for detail and gift for weaving together complex narratives. " The Unwinding "journeys through the lives of several Americans, including Dean Price, the son of tobacco farmers, who becomes an evangelist for a new economy in the rural South; Tammy Thomas, a factory worker in the Rust Belt trying to survive the collapse of her city; Jeff Connaughton, a Washington insider oscillating between political idealism and the lure of organized money; and Peter Thiel, a Silicon Valley billionaire who questions the Internet's significance and arrives at a radical vision of the future. Packer interweaves these intimate stories with biographical sketches of the era's leading public figures, from Newt Gingrich to Jay-Z, and collages made from newspaper headlines, advertising slogans, and song lyrics that capture the flow of events and their undercurrents. " The Unwinding "portrays a superpower in danger of coming apart at the seams, its elites no longer elite, its institutions no longer working, its ordinary people left to improvise their own schemes for success and salvation. Packer's novelistic and kaleidoscopic history of the new America is his most ambitious work to date.
