Sinopsis

In "Lives of the Apostles of Jesus Christ," David Francis Bacon meticulously chronicles the lives, beliefs, and missions of the apostles who shaped early Christianity. This work blends biography with theology, employing a narrative style that is both accessible and richly ornate, allowing readers to grasp the complexities of each apostle's journey. Bacon situates the apostles within the socio-cultural context of the 1st-century Mediterranean world, illuminating how their experiences and teachings helped lay the foundation for the Christian faith amidst a backdrop of political unrest and religious upheaval. David Francis Bacon, an accomplished theologian and historian, draws from decades of scholarly research in biblical studies and a profound interest in the formative years of Christianity. His insights, shaped by a deep engagement with scripture and church history, reflect both a personal and academic commitment to understanding the nuances of apostolic life. This passion is evident throughout the text, as Bacon expertly weaves historical fact with theological reflection, inviting readers into a richer understanding of these pivotal figures. I highly recommend "Lives of the Apostles of Jesus Christ" to scholars, clergy, and lay readers alike. It serves not only as an essential reference for those studying biblical history but also as an inspirational guide that encourages modern believers to reflect on the enduring legacies of the apostles. Bacon's work ultimately fosters a deeper appreciation for the transformative messages that continue to emanate from these foundational figures of Christianity.

    It occurred to standup comic and comedy writer Carol Liefer that she had to stop telling one of her favorite stories—seeing The Beatles perform at Shea Stadium—because it dated her. But then she thought: What's that about? "I see now that when you deny your age, you deny yourself, and when you lie about your age, you become your inauthentic twin. But most important, when you lie about your age, they win." And, of course, by 'they,' she means the terrorists. In this uproarious audiobook, Leifer reveals all—her age, her outlook, her life philosophy—with a no-holds-barred approach.

    To recovering 80s kid Amy Liz Harrison, getting sober and giving birth were shockingly similar. And she's uniquely qualified to know since she's been sober for over a decade and has given birth to eight children (yes, you read the sentence correctly). 
    Grounded by life as a young teacher turned stay-at-home mom to four kids, Harrison watched her husband's career soar. He gained altitude, earning promotions and relocating the family as he struggled with excess baggage. Depression, isolation, boredom and a devastating crisis of faith led to extra glasses (or bottles) of wine at the end of the day. Which eventually led to being handcuffed and a night in jail for driving while intoxicated. 
    Ten years of sobriety and four more babies later, Harrison realized that giving birth and getting sober were kinda similar. In some ways, her story is unique (really, who has eight kids these days?), but it's also the experience of many other travelers. People get sober and transform their lives. Jet lag, childbirth or alcoholism-they all require recovery. Try not to gasp through Harrison's wild trip from Bay Area adolescent to young mother to incarcerated drunk and ultimately to the epiphany that if she gives her health and recovery priority boarding, she can eternally expect everything else in her life to fly first class.

    Biographies of George Whitefield, John Wesley, William Grimshaw, William Romaine, Daniel Rowlands, John Berridge, Henry Venn, Samuel Walker, James Hervey, Augustus Toplady, and John Fletcher.The reader will soon discover that I am an enthusiastic admirer of the men whose lives and ministries I have narrated in this volume. I confess it honestly. I am a thorough admirer of them. I firmly believe that, with the exceptions of Martin Luther and his contemporaries and our own martyred Reformers, the world has not seen any such men since the days of the apostles. I believe there have not been any who have preached as much clear scriptural truth, none who have lived such lives, none who have shown such courage in Christ’s service, none who have suffered as much for the truth, and none who have done as much good. If anyone can name better men, he knows more than I do.I now send forth this volume with an earnest prayer that God will pardon all its imperfections, use it for His own glory, and raise up in His church today men like those who are here described. Certainly when we look at the state of the church today, we may well say, “Where is the Lord God of Whitefield and of Rowlands, of Grimshaw and of Venn? O Lord, revive Your work!”—J. C. RyleStradbroke Vicarage, August 10, 1868

    Maggie has changed the way the game is played forever' - The Sunday Times
    
    Maggie Alphonsi is not only a national sporting icon, the face of international women’s rugby and star player of the England side that won the World Cup in 2014. She is also an inspirational and totemic figure who transcends sport.
    
    The compelling story of her life makes her achievements even more extraordinary. Hers is an against-all-the-odds tale, becoming the best player in the world despite having to battle against racism, sexism, and prejudice.
    
    It is a book forged from the raw emotion, passion, and testimony of an iconic player, who rose to the elite of world sport when the world was seemingly stacked against her. It is a moving and revealing story of a woman who was not prepared to be defined by anyone but herself and gives the reader a unique insight into how she met her goals.

    This powerful memoir from a #1 New York Times bestselling author and Newbery Medalist features poetry, letters, recipes, and other personal artifacts that provide an intimate look into his life and the loved ones he shares it with. In a powerfully intimate and non-traditional (or "new-fashioned") memoir, Kwame Alexander shares snapshots of a man learning how to love. He takes us through stories of his parents: from being awkward newlyweds in the sticky Chicago summer of 1967, to the sometimes-confusing ways they showed their love to each other, and for him. He explores his own relationships—his difficulties as a newly wedded, 22-year-old father, and the precariousness of his early marriage working in a jazz club with his second wife. Alexander attempts to deal with the unravelling of his marriage and the grief of his mother's recent passing while sharing the solace he found in learning how to perfect her famous fried chicken dish. With an open heart, Alexander weaves together memories of his past to try and understand his greatest love: his daughters. Full of heartfelt reminisces, family recipes, love poems, and personal letters, Why Fathers Cry at Night inspires bravery and vulnerability in every reader who has experienced the reckless passion, heartbreak, failure, and joy that define the whirlwind woes and wonders of love.
