Sinossi

Mormon Classics is a compelling anthology that weaves together an array of transformative writings, reflective of the spiritual and theological foundations of the Latter-day Saint movement. This collection captures the profound diversity in literary styles, from the doctrinal expositions to the evocative hymns and reflective narratives that continue to resonate within Mormon culture. It brings forth a profound dialogue, with standout pieces exploring not only the tenets of faith but also the intricate balance between revealed knowledge and personal insight, making it an essential resource for both the devout and the curious. The collection features an enriched tapestry of voices, each contributing uniquely to the overarching theology and cultural narrative of Mormonism. The authors—from Joseph Smith Jr.'s foundational teachings to Eliza R. Snow's inspired verses—offer a cross-section of the religious fervor, intellectual inquiry, and personal conviction that define this religious tradition. This anthology stands as a testament to the influence of key historical figures and the evolving interpretation and understanding of Mormon doctrine, deeply embedded in cultural and historical contexts. For both scholars and enthusiasts, Mormon Classics presents a distinct opportunity to engage with the varied perspectives that have shaped Mormon theology and culture. It offers a multidimensional insight into a faith that continues to grow and impact communities worldwide. Readers are invited to explore this volume not merely as a collection of texts but as an ongoing conversation that bridges past ideologies with contemporary faith challenges, providing an indispensable lens through which to examine the complexities of belief, identity, and community in Mormonism."}

    AS FEATURED ON ORIGINAL GANGSTERS WITH SEAN BEAN'The world's leading expert on Birmingham crime and the Peaky Blinders'You know who the Peaky Blinders are ... It's time to see where they began.At the turn of the twentieth century, Birmingham was seemingly transforming into a wealthy, bustling metropolis, celebrated for its manufacturing and local government. Yet behind this optimistic facade,  the poorest and most vulnerable in society were abandoned. This longstanding inequality aroused unrest, sparking violence and terror from backstreet gangsters who'd become known as peaky blinders.In this fourth instalment of the bestselling series, historian Carl Chinn draws upon his decades of expertise and his own family history to reveal even more about these notorious gangs, going back to where it all began. Chinn exposes the real people whose bloody feuds, murders and maiming, baiting of police officers, bullying of the decent poor, gendered violence, blackmailing, and disturbing roles in political riots and racist attacks made Birmingham infamous as the city of the Peaky Blinders.Peaky Blinders: The Real Gangs and Gangsters is a vivid and shocking portrait of Birmingham through the Victorian and Edwardian eras, unpicking the storied history of its vicious gangs to reveal how they forced themselves into notoriety.

    Between 2016 and his retirement in 2022, Assistant Garda Commissioner John O'Driscoll was the public face of garda operations targeting organised crime. This put him at the centre of a long-running quest to bring about the demise of the Kinahan drug cartel, culminating in US sanctions being imposed – an unprecedented development, spearheaded by O'Driscoll.
    But the Kinahans were just some of the many notorious drug dealers and criminals O'Driscoll successfully brought to book. During his tenure at Dublin's Store Street, he was tasked with reckoning with the heroin epidemic, and his unique approach to community policing got to the root of the power of infamous criminals like Tony Felloni, Michael Cronin and Derek Dunne, stripping them of their assets.
    Spanning a period of unprecedented change that challenged the very nature of fighting crime in Ireland, On Duty, the first ever memoir of an Assistant Garda Commissioner, offers a unique insight into policing at the highest level.

    Dear You, 
    Welcome to your love letter. A letter signed to the secrets and celebrations that brought you here. The found family, and the lost innocence, and the wanderlust, and the returning home again in ways you never thought possible.

Welcome to the love letter to your leaving and arriving again. Here.     
    Letter to the Shooting Stars Among Us is a concoction of music and poetry that pushes the boundaries of genre and expectation. Flowing from spoken word poetry and hip-hop roots, it’s a personal and powerful testament to the beauty and heartbreak of wising up and self-discovery. Examining everything from breakups, illness, crustaceans, immigration, supernovas, God, tomatoes, seedy motels, and all those other memories you locked up somewhere safe, this book is a reminder to love deeply, live boldly, and seek beauty in unconventional spaces.

    In the tradition of Notorious RBG, a lively celebration of the life, wisdom, wit, legacy, and fearless style of iconic American Congresswoman Maxine Waters. 
    “Let me just say this: I’m a strong black woman, and I cannot be intimidated. I cannot be undermined. I cannot be thought to be afraid of Bill O’Reilly or anyone.”—Maxine Waters  
     
    To millions nationwide, Congresswoman Maxine Waters is a hero of the resistance and an icon, serving eye rolls, withering looks, and sharp retorts to any who dare waste her time on nonsense. But behind the Auntie Maxine meme is a seasoned public servant and she’s not here to play. Throughout her forty years in public service and eighty years on earth, U.S. Representative for California’s 43rd district has been a role model, a crusader for justice, a game-changer, a trailblazer, and an advocate for the marginalized who has long defied her critics, including her most vocal detractor, Donald J. Trump. And she’s just getting started.  
    From her anti-apartheid work and support of affirmative action to her passionate opposition to the Iraq War and calls to hold Trump to account, you can count on Auntie Maxine to speak truth to power and do it with grace and, sometimes, sass. As ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee and one of the most powerful black women in America, she is the strong, ethical voice the country has always needed, especially right now. 
    Reclaiming Her Time pays tribute to all things Maxine Waters, from growing up in St. Louis “too skinny” and “too black,” to taking on Wall Street during the financial crisis and coming out on top in her legendary showdowns with Trump and his cronies. Featuring inspiring highlights from her personal life and political career, beloved memes, and testimonies from her many friends and fans, Reclaiming Her Time is a funny, warm, and admiring portrait of a champion who refuses to stay silent in the face of corruption and injustice; a powerful woman who is an inspiration to us all. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    Martha is ambitious, competitive, successful, and now divorced. As she seeks to reinvent herself, she joins a dating site looking for companionship. Instead, she finds her soulmate in Stephan. They do everything together: work, travel, dance, sing, and love. Everything changes when Stephan is diagnosed with frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) and then with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS - Lou Gehrig's disease). As the diseases progress, the dynamic, vivacious man Martha married disappears. Does Martha have what it takes to care for him? Will Stephans love win out and give Martha the strength she needs to walk Stephan to the end? 
    "I LOVED IT! It spoke to me in so many ways. It drew me in and, even though I never met Stephan, he now feels like someone I knew so well and a good friend.. This book is well written in a conversational manner which I love. So raw, honest, vulnerable and fresh. I laughed, I cried, and I was so struck by the contrast you created with the time changes. I woke up still thinking about every chapter!"
