Описание: From the host of Fox News @ Night, a deeply personal book about finding purpose and growth amid life's unpredictability. "What a gift this book will be to your soul."--Lysa TerKeurst Whether it's her work today as a reporter and host for Fox News, her years in law school, or the time she spent competing in pageants like Miss America, Shannon Bream has spent her entire adult life navigating high-pressure environments where perfection is expected and competition is the name of the game. But in this laugh-out-loud book of stories and inspiration, Shannon shares the moments away from the cameras and the halls of government, in which she learned that the values and faith of her blue-collar upbringing could keep her grounded in a world where everyone wants you to be something other than who you are. In Finding the Bright Side, Shannon continues a conversation about authenticity, humility, and trusting in God that she's already begun with her followers on social media. She shares behind-the-scenes stories from Washington, D.C., revelations from her time reporting on the Supreme Court, and lessons learned from the most challenging moments of her life--from the time she was fired from her first job and told, "You're the worst person I've ever seen on TV," to the time she heard "There is no cure." But through all of this, faith (and a little bit of stubbornness ) has helped Shannon to keep hope, find purpose in the pain, and find laughs along the way. Praise for Finding the Bright Side "Integrity. Faith. Diligence. Success. Shannon's book--and life--elevate these cherished values. For anyone hoping to move forward without compromising convictions, this book is a must read."--Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author "In Finding the Bright Side, Shannon reveals that her sunny face and disposition is not just from good genetics. Her success is long in coming and well-deserved. She is sheer joy in a bottle."--Kathie Lee Gifford, bestselling author of The Rock, the Road and the Rabbi
The women of the Bible lived timeless stories--by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther's bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus' resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel's Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual's life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman's individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect....
"Have faith" is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In TheMothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God's plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God's actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son's place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself.
Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family--and how God's unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God's voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He's still doing the same work in our lives today.
The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.
Описание: Henri Ambergnac has become Count of the estate from which his name was originally taken, and fifteen years have passed since his return to France from America, years that saw the rise to prominence of Napoleon Bonaparte. Amongst those whose best interests are to be had serving the new r gime is a man working covertly for the Minister of Police, and when he uncovers a plot to overthrow the Emperor he recognises a rare opportunity for advancement. Agent Caustique also discovers that Ambergnac has given a home to two English prisoners of the state; furthermore he has set in motion a scheme to help their relation escape from the notorious Bitche prison. This gives Caustique another chance for promotion and at the same time revenge himself on a member of the old aristocracy, that class of person he has been intent on destroying for over twenty years.

Описание: Sir Augustus Hillyer is a self-confessed socialite. Like many an English aristocrat his rural estates provide him with the means to indulge in the company of ladies, whom he adores; racehorses he admires, gamblers he despises and boxers who fascinate him. Yet nothing he does is allowed to tarnish his sense of honour, for above all he is a true gentleman. He is delighted to play host to French visitors. One of whom, Henri Ambergnac, has been commissioned to spy on the Duke of Orl ans. Having instigated spiteful attacks on Louis XVI the Duke has been sent to London for his own safety and reputation, things Sir Augustus soon discovers for himself are attributes not best preserved by indulging in Gallic friendships. Meanwhile all the English newspapers become preoccupied with intriguing news from France, which gets increasingly more horrific, filling the visitors with dread at the thought of returning home.
