  This book illustrates the powerful effect David Clark´s mother, Jan Clark, had on her son. Her influence began even before David was born. Jan’s pregnancy with David was terrifyingly difficult. Her doctor, due to his grave concerns for Jan’s life, felt compelled to do everything he could to terminate the pregnancy. Amidst these extreme circumstances, Jan made a promise to her unborn child that changed everything! 
  Follow David Clark as he recounts experiences in which his mother kept this promise and led him to Christ. Notwithstanding that foundation in Christ, however, David years later, found himself feeling isolated and abandoned by God when he became 100% disabled and bedridden due to his military service in Iraq. He went from being an award-winning lawyer, a decorated military officer, and an Elder in his church to becoming completely dependent on others. It was only when David began remembering what his mother taught him about Jesus Christ years earlier that he finally found the peace and rest that comes solely through the Lord. 
  In this book, you will learn:God hears and answers prayers.We can find peace in Christ, especially in our most heart-wrenching trials.Jesus does not give up on us, nor will He ever abandon us!The truth found in Proverbs 22:6 (“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” KJV).The power parents can have when they share why they believe in God, how their faith has blessed their own lives and provide opportunities for their children to gain that knowledge and experience for themselves.

  Both a celebration and a lament for Ukraine, a moving personal memoir taking us from Katya's idyllic childhood with her siblings: holidays in Crimea and carefree days working the land at the Dacha; to the sickening impact of Putin's invasion and its effect on Katya, her friends and family - the anxiety, fear and heartache. The desperate attempts to make contact with friends and ensure loved ones are safe.  Throughout it all bestrides Babushka, Katya's 'favourite person on earth' still living in the family's apartment block in Kyiv.  Babushka learned fortitude at an early age when her own mother was taken by the Germans and she was rescued by a Jewish doctor whose identity was kept secret.  When she is not growing vegetables and making vats of borsch, she is reading the sexy bits from novels out loud to her granddaughter.  But in this last year she has turned her hand to a recipe of a different type - Molotov cocktails - in preparation for an attack on her apartment block. Combining prose, poetry, collage, maps and illustrations this is a truly immersive memoir – an authentic portrait of the impact of war.

  On the morning of October 7, 2023, Israelis awoke to a harrowing reality. Not only were hundreds of rockets being launched from Gaza into Israeli population centers, but the security border had also been breached by several thousand Hamas terrorists. Carnage, not seen since the Second World War, ensued. Elkana Cohen, Captain of an Elite Commando Unit was called, along with thousands of other reservists, to prepare for war. One that will have to ensure nothing less than Israel's survival. 
   
   
   
  In notebooks he found on the ground in the streets of Gaza, Cohen began writing a diary. Every day, he candidly documented the sights of the war. From an honest, precise, and fluid first-person perspective, Cohen presents the feeling and story of the war from the eyes of the heroes who were there: the dust, the sweat, the brotherhood, the longing, and the awful smell of death and destruction. Cohen's writing poignantly describes his relationships with his fellow comrades, the mass arrests of terrorists, the homes of Hamas members, the story of the fallen soldiers, and the desperate hope to bring the hundreds of Israeli hostages home. OCT 7 is not only the story of one Israeli officer, but it is also the narrative of an entire nation. A nation that stepped up without a moment's hesitation to face an existential challenge with a sense of purpose and mission.

I hope that this story will contribute to changing this course”.

  The Ballad of Dorothy Wordsworth...

  A “sensitive and elegantly written” biography of Dorothy Wordsworth, sister and muse of the Romantic English poet William Wordsworth (Publishers Weekly).“[A] highly charged and forthright biography. . . . A ‘perpetual third party,’ Dorothy Wordsworth finally steps out of the shadows in this assured and involving reclamation of an intriguing, literary figure.” —Booklist (starred review)Described by the writer and opium addict Thomas De Quincey as “the very wildest . . . person I have ever known,” Dorothy Wordsworth was neither the self-effacing spinster nor the sacrificial saint of common telling. A brilliant stylist in her own right, Dorothy was at the center of the Romantic movement of the early nineteenth century. She was her brother William Wordsworth's inspiration, aide, and most valued reader, and a friend to Coleridge; both borrowed from her observations of the world for their own poems. William wrote of her, “She gave me eyes, she gave me ears.”In order to remain at her brother’s side, Dorothy sacrificed both marriage and comfort, jealously guarding their close-knit domesticity—one marked by a startling freedom from social convention. In the famed Grasmere Journals, Dorothy kept a record of this idyllic life together. The tale that unfolds through her brief, electric entries reveals an intense bond between brother and sister, culminating in Dorothy’s dramatic collapse on the day of William’s wedding to their childhood friend Mary Hutchinson. Dorothy lived out the rest of her years with her brother and Mary. The woman who strode the hills in all hours and all weathers would eventually retreat into the house for the last three decades of her life.In this succinct, arresting biography, Frances Wilson reveals Dorothy in all her complexity. From the coiled tension of Dorothy’s journals, she unleashes the rich emotional life of a woman determined to live on her own terms, and honors her impact on the key figures of Romanticism.“In The Ballad of Dorothy Wordsworth, Ms. Wilson strides purposefully through Wordsworth’s intoxicating life. . . . One chapter begins with a quotation from the political-punk band Gang of Four: ‘This heaven gives me migraine.’ This book, its own kind of heaven, gave me quite the opposite.” —The New York Times“Entertaining and sometimes ingenious. . . . Wilson . . . makes a strong case for taking a fresh look at Dorothy Wordsworth.” —Los Angeles Times
