Описание:
A haunting, suspenseful literary debut that combines a classic coming of age story with a portrait of a fractured American family dealing with the fallout of one summer evening gone terribly wrong.
"The night we left Ellen on the road, we drove up the mountain in silence."
It is the early 1980s and fifteen-year-old Libby is obsessed with The Field Guide to the Trees of North America, a gift her Irish immigrant father gave her before he died. She finds solace in "The Kingdom," a stand of red oak and thick mountain laurel near her home in suburban Pennsylvania, where she can escape from her large and unruly family and share menthol cigarettes and lukewarm beers with her best friend.
One night, while driving home, Libby's mother, exhausted and overwhelmed with the fighting in the backseat, pulls over and orders Libby's little sister Ellen to walk home. What none of this family knows as they drive off leaving a twelve-year-old girl on the side of the road five miles from home with darkness closing in, is what will happen next.
A Crooked Tree is a surprising, indelible novel, both a poignant portrayal of an unmoored childhood giving way to adolescence, and a gripping tale about the unexpected reverberations of one rash act.
--Liz Moore, New York Times bestselling author of Long Bright River

Описание: This is a book about what happened when a small team of teachers seized an opportunity to provide their students with the knowledge, the skills and the confidence to take control of their own learning. This journey began with a question: how and what would we teach, if there was no one watching?
Money isn't everything until you haven't got any and then it does become everything. Everything we do in life involves money. We need money to eat, for a place to live, to heat our homes, for the clothes we wear, for transport, for education and just about anything we do in life, especially the things we want to enjoy. In fact nothing in the world functions without the circulation of money. It's one of the most important subjects in life and surprisingly it's not taught at school and it shows.
The attitude people have on money has mostly been formed by the behaviours of people around them, the media, social media, advertising and marketing. In a world where people are addicted to credit, borrowing and following the crowd there is only a few that are getting ahead.
The principles of getting ahead, building wealth, living the life you want and becoming financially free have never changed, these lessons have been around since the beginning of time, but you have probably never been exposed to them.
This book will provide you with all the basic principles that you need to build your wealth, improve and expand yourself so that you can live a financially abundant and healthy life and set yourself on a path to real education on money as well as improving your own personal value and reaching your goals on the highway to financial freedom.

Описание: Many events were staged and a plethora of new books appeared to mark the quincentenary of the birth of John Calvin, in 2009. But one area received considerably less attention in that anniversary year - namely, Calvin's ecclesiology. This study explores the development and fundamental legacy of Calvin's perspectives on and relationship with the church. Contributions are included which explore the later development and 'denominational variations' of Calvin's ecclesiology, along with ecumenical discussions/responses to and implications of Calvin's understanding of the church. There are further chapters which focus on particular aspects such as Calvin's ecclesiological method, understanding of ministry, the 'sacramental' principle, the 'invisible church' etc. Contributions on the use of Calvin's ecclesiology by later and modern/contemporary ecclesiologists also feature. This is a volume that brings together leading and emerging theological voices from Europe, North America and Latino America and from across the different theological sub-disciplines. Significantly, the book has a decidedly ecumenical perspective, with writers from several different denominational traditions contributing.
