Beschreibung

Leonardo Bruni, also known as Leonardo Aretino (1370-1444), was an Italian humanist, initiate, historian and statesman, often recognized as the most important humanist historian of the early Renaissance. He has been called the first modern historian and was the earliest person to write using the three-period view of history: Antiquity, Middle Ages, and Modern. The dates Bruni used to define the periods are not exactly what modern historians use today, but he laid the conceptual groundwork for a tripartite division of history.The Life of Dante by Leonardo Bruni (1436) is one of the earliest biographies of the great Florentine writer, poet and initiate, father of the Italian language, Dante Alighieri. Since the Proemio, it is proposed as a real correction of the biography of Dante traced by Giovanni Boccaccio in the Trattatello in laude di Dante. It is one of the most important historical documents in Italian literary history.

    Like a River, a triumphant story of new life birthed out of tragedy, will teach readers how to face their failures, confront their pain, and connect with God—the true source of life. 
    On June 4th, 2019, country music singer Granger Smith was enjoying a final evening with his kids before heading to Nashville for the CMT Music Awards and his next tour. While helping his daughter London with her gymnastics, his youngest son fell into their pool. Granger did everything he could to get to him, but he was too late. River drowned, and Granger's world shattered. 
    The days, weeks, and months that followed River's death sent Granger on a dark and painful journey. Every time he closed his eyes, he replayed the horrific event in his mind, and every time he opened his computer, he was bombarded by the critique and criticism of people who blamed him for the accident. 
    Despite his best effort to get back on stage with a smile and song, it was all a façade. On the inside he was dying. Fortunately, that's not how his story ended. And now he is compelled to help people all around the world find strength, peace, and hope on the other side of tragedy.Like a River, life is full of twists and turns.Like a River, people pollute our world with their critique and criticism.Like a River, tragic events keep us dammed up.But like a river, we can find the courage to keep moving downstream. 
      
    Rivers don't run on their own strength; they flow from their source. When we try to keep going on our own, we won't make it, but when we connect to the greater source, we will find the strength and the faith to keep living after loss. This triumphant story of new life birthed out of death will inspire every reader to live Like a River.

    The Unravelling of Samantha X.  
     
    ‘I wanted to go back to the real me, Amanda Goff. Yet there was just one problem. I had no idea who she was. I had no idea who I was. I hadn’t been Amanda for years, decades. Samantha wasn’t leaving just yet; she wasn’t going to make a quiet exit. She wasn’t that type of woman.’ 
     
    Amanda Goff was a successful journalist in London and Sydney before ditching her nine-to-five job at the age of 38 to become Samantha X, Australia’s most famous escort. A bipolar diagnosis changed everything: she retired from sex work, walked away from Samantha X, and went in search of Amanda.  
     
    Misfit is her third memoir – but the first written as ‘herself’. Raw, honest, provocative, wise and often laugh-out-loud funny, this is an unflinching record of her journey along the bumpy path to healing and self-acceptance. Beyond confronting her bipolar disorder and addiction issues, Amanda must also contend with prejudice and judgement, lingering trauma from her earlier life, and her own crushing self-doubt. As she struggles with the realities of so-called normality, the persistent voice of Samantha X is there to remind her of a former life that offered power, money, fame – and protection from the challenges that Amanda has courageously chosen to tackle head-on.

    Finding God’s Strength in the Space Between What Was and What Will Be  
    What if the place you fear the most — the uncertain, unfinished, in-between — is actually the place God forms you the deepest?  
    In Limbo Land, Phil Strong pulls back the curtain on the most misunderstood season of the Christian life: the stretch between promise and fulfilment, calling and commissioning, “almost” and “not yet.”This is where faith feels fragile, prayers feel unanswered, and control slips through your fingers. It’s where confusion, impatience, doubt, and insecurity stalk your every step.  
    But it’s also holy ground.  
    Through vivid metaphors — the Unfinished Bridge, the Thin Place, the Intercessor’s Lantern — and deeply personal stories, Phil shows that the in-between is not divine punishment; it’s divine preparation. It’s where God exposes dependence, reshapes identity, rewires trust, and calls you into a surrendered strength you didn’t know was possible.  
    Featuring:   
    The Helpless, Not Hopeless framework that redefines strength   
    Paul’s thorn — why God sometimes refuses relief to release grace   
    Rees Howells’ stunning surrender story that shifts everything   
    The unseen work God does in hidden seasons   
    How to recognise when formation is complete and the crossing is near    
    If you're stuck, stalled, or suspended between chapters of your life — this book will help you breathe again.It will show you how to trust the wait, walk with God in uncertainty, and emerge with a strength that was impossible without the in-between.  
    Limbo Land is not the end of your story.It’s the place where God writes the part that changes you forever.

    Principles of Economics was a leading economics textbook of Alfred Marshall (1842-1924), first published in 1890. Marshall began writing the book in 1881, and he spent much of the next decade at work on it.His plan for the work gradually extended to a two-volume compilation on the whole of economic thought; the first volume was published in 1890 to worldwide acclaim that established him as one of the leading economists of his time. It brought the ideas of supply and demand, of marginal utility and of the costs of production into a coherent whole, and became the dominant economic textbook in England for a long period. The second volume, which was to address foreign trade, money, trade fluctuations, taxation, and collectivism, was never published at all. (Summary from Wikipedia)This reading is based on the eighth edition, published in 1920.
