Beschreibung

Captain America assembles the Avengers. Iron Man battles Thanos. Luke Skywalker duels Darth Vader. Aragorn charges Mordor. Batman confronts the Joker. Superman destroys Doomsday. Wonder Woman defeats Ares. We are captivated. Why?

We are entranced by stories that take us to a world where heroes fight evil and sacrifice themselves for a greater good because we long for our world to be free from pain, suffering, and struggle. That's the real hope and promise of Jesus—when He returns to set things right.


In Hollywood Heroes, you'll see how:


- Your favorite movie heroes are patterned after the Ultimate Hero—Jesus of Nazareth
- Big screen stories parallel the real-world fight between good and evil
- Movies and characters can impart inspiring biblical life lessons on justice, purpose, courage, strength, sacrifice, faith, and love

Hollywood Heroes begins with the true story of a US Navy SEAL who faced evil and sacrificed himself to save his teammates. Authors Frank and Zach Turek then use Spider-Man's origin story to address the question: "Why would a good God allow evil?" You'll then read how seven movie franchises—Captain America, Iron Man, Harry Potter, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Batman, and Wonder Woman—portray the battle against evil, providing a set of modern-day parables that reveal truths about God and His mission for us.

    In 1954, Steve Jones entered the world fragile and premature, quickly labeled “broken” by doctors and dismissed by society. But his parents refused the prevailing wisdom of the time. They chose to keep him home, to raise him with dignity, and to believe in his worth. 
    For the Love of Stephen: The Story of a Boy Who Was Never Broken is the intimate, heartfelt memoir of a brother who witnessed firsthand the struggles and triumphs of a life lived on the margins of society. Through vivid storytelling, Dr. Stuart D. Jones traces Steve’s journey: his battles with exclusion, his breakthroughs in education, his humor and resilience, his friendships and love, and the tragedy that ended his life too soon. 
    By turns satirical, humorous, and deeply moving, this book illuminates both the progress made and the injustices that remain in how we treat people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. 
    Above all, it is a tribute to Steve himself—a man who was never broken, who lived with joy and dignity, and who continues to inspire through the story left behind.

    While historically a topic of great interest, controversies and general public discourse surrounding addiction have been growing rapidly, particularly in light of the rising death toll resulting from the opioid epidemic. In light of the common misconception that addictive behaviors are entirely volitional, misinformation and stigma have had a deleterious impact on the public's understanding concerning the nature, causes, and treatments of substance use disorders. Despite decades of research and tens of thousands of published and peer-reviewed investigations, critics continue to ask whether addiction is a genuine medical condition or a choice. 
     
     
     
    In Addiction, leading expert in the science and treatment of addiction Suzette Glasner aims to clear the air of some of the most polarizing and misleading information that dominates public thinking about addiction. Providing straight talk and sound guidelines for the general public as well as health professionals and policymakers, Glasner raises important questions related to addiction and answers them in an accessible yet empirically informed manner throughout the book. Offering an insightful overview of addiction from its origins, to forms of treatment and complications, this book will be the go-to resource for authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and compelling information about this topic.

    In the Early Middle Ages, the Anglo-Saxons were a cultural group that resided in England. They traced their roots back to the arrival of incomers to Britain in the fifth century, who originated from the North Sea coastlands of continental Europe. The ethnogenesis of the Anglo-Saxons, on the other hand, happened in Britain, and the identity wasn't just imported. The contact between getting in groups of people from some Germanic tribe, both amongst themselves and with native British populations, led to the facility of an Anglo-Saxon identity. A lot of the native tribes ultimately incorporated and embraced Anglo-Saxon society and language. The Anglo-Saxons established the idea of England and the Kingdom of England, and while the modern English language owes practically 26% of its vocabulary to them, this includes the great bulk of words used in daily discussion. 
    The Anglo-Saxon period in history describes the period in Britain from roughly 450 and 1066, starting with their preliminary settlement and ending with the Norman Conquest. 
    Let’s have a look at how this time period has influenced European history, and what else was so significant about the Anglo-Saxon civilization.
