Beschreibung

In "You Can't Buy Eternity!", Dwight V. Swain masterfully explores the concept of existential value in contemporary society, navigating the chasm between material wealth and spiritual fulfillment. The book unfolds through a series of poignant anecdotes and philosophical reflections, all rendered in Swain's engaging narrative style, which blends storytelling with incisive commentary. Thematically rich, it critiques the consumer-driven culture that often prioritizes possessions over profound connections, illustrating the timeless truth that the most valuable aspects of life'Äîlove, integrity, and purpose'Äîcannot be purchased. Dwight V. Swain, an acclaimed author known for his expertise in both fiction and storytelling techniques, draws on his diverse experiences and keen observations of societal trends to craft this enlightening work. Having worked both as a writer and a critic, Swain'Äôs insights are informed not only by his literary pursuits but also by a deep-seated belief in the importance of human relationships and spiritual well-being, themes that are intricately woven throughout the text. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of what truly matters in life. Swain's thoughts will resonate with readers curious about the intersection of materialism and existential fulfillment, making "You Can't Buy Eternity!" an essential addition to the discourse on living a meaningful life.

    BOOK SUMMARY: This book takes a deep dive into the Old Testament and New Testament's use and development of the Wedding Metaphor in Scripture. The book develops the importance of the Wedding Metaphor in understanding the heart and character of God Himself. Additionally, we learn some amazing aspects of the plans and purposes of God regarding the Creation from beginning to the end of time. The Wedding Metaphor also supplies a new perspective on understanding the actions of God regarding the life and death of Jesus. This includes some insightful and helpful new understandings of the meaning of the cross (the atonement). Most importantly the book develops a clear view of God's intentions to re-create the Shalom of the Garden of Eden environment in the New Creation to come. ADDITIONAL INFO: This book represents a study of scripture through the consideration of the wedding metaphor. It emphasizes metaphor as a means of "inter-realm" communication. This facilitates those of us living in the earthly realm, being given a better insight into the events and reality of the spiritual realm.

    Few topics have as many myths, stereotypes, and misperceptions surrounding them as that of poverty in America. The poor have been badly misunderstood since the beginnings of the country, with the rhetoric only ratcheting up in recent times. Our current era of fake news, alternative facts, and media partisanship has led to a breeding ground for all types of myths and misinformation to gain traction and legitimacy. 
     
     
     
    Poorly Understood is the first book to systematically address and confront many of the most widespread myths pertaining to poverty. Mark Robert Rank, Lawrence M. Eppard, and Heather E. Bullock powerfully demonstrate that the realities of poverty are much different than the myths. The idealized image of American society is one of abundant opportunities, with hard work being rewarded by economic prosperity. But what if this picture is wrong? What if the reasons for poverty are largely beyond the control of individuals? These are much more disturbing realities to consider because they call into question the very core of America's identity. 
     
     
     
    Armed with the latest research, Poorly Understood not only challenges the myths of poverty and inequality, but it explains why these myths continue to exist, providing an innovative blueprint for how the nation can move forward to effectively alleviate American poverty.

    Welcome to London's marriage season. Six high society women are preparing for the biggest moment of their lives: finding a suitable husband. But their stories aren't what you may have read in historic romances by Julia Quinn or Georgette Heyer. In The Game of Hearts, go behind the drawing-room door with history author Felicity Day and delve into the competitive world of love, scandal, and fortune. With shocking revelations about London's most eligible heiresses and the society they live in, you'll see British history and love stories from a whole new perspective. 
     
     
     
    May the best lady win. For our six privileged debutantes, life wasn't like a Regency romance; they had to work for their happily ever after. Even if it meant competing with dozens of other women who want the same thing. By using the letters, diaries, and other confessions from our heroines, Felicity Day shares how they and many other Regency women combined attraction with practicality to navigate upper-class British society, known as the ton, and its courtship rituals. And with obstacles such as scandals, rakes, and social warfare, you'll discover how love and success may not always win, but perseverance shall. 
     
     
     
    So if you liked historic women biographies like Jane Austen at Home, The Palace Papers, or A Room of Their Own, then you'll love The Game of Hearts.

    Modern Germany: The History and...

    The history of Germany and the German-speaking peoples is as complex and multifaceted as any in Europe. It is also one of the most difficult to pinpoint conceptually and historically, since every nation is a construct to some extent. Language is certainly important, and the German language is a unifying factor for any notion of a unified Germany, yet even today, many German-speakers live outside the borders of modern Germany. Shared customs and traditions gave Germans a common sense of identity to some extent, but these were often local in origin. Germans were also split between several versions of Christianity.  
    	Nevertheless, ideas of a German nation were present by the 19th century, leading up to the official unification in 1871. Neil MacGregor, a historian of modern Germany, has explained that the two defining events leading to the rise of German nationalism and the movement toward unification were the Thirty Years' War and the Napoleonic Wars. During the Thirty Years' War, more than 200 German states were part of the Holy Roman Empire's loose confederation, and that war was predominantly fought in German states by foreign powers, including France, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, and the Netherlands. MacGregor noted that “horrors were experienced across all Germany, and were never forgotten,” to the extent that they were invoked during World War II. The religious basis of the Thirty Years’ War saw the split between Catholicism and Protestantism, which was at the heart of the Reformation. Some foreign leaders even invoked defending "German freedoms" for their invasion. 
    	From the German point of view, the Thirty Years' War was proof of their vulnerability to foreign aggression. Atrocities such as the "sacking" of Magdeburg in 1631, where more than 30,000 people were killed, were embedded in the German consciousness. All told, 8 million people died during the Thirty Years’ War.
