Sinossi

"In The Uber Psychologist, author, psychologist and Uber driver, Maverick McGovern delivers colorful descriptions of his thought-provoking interactions with more than one hundred riders in the Charlotte area. The brief stories are fascinating. One leads to another and another, and I found it hard to stop reading, reminding me of eating potato chips; you just want more! McGovern's examination of the Stoic philosophy and how one can practice its Virtues demonstrates how attitude can affect powerful changes in how a person meets whatever challenges they have to face in life, from the tragic to the annoying and everything in between. As he states in the book, adversity is simply an opportunity to practice one's virtues."

    Pain and pleasure. Punishment and reward. Is that was BDSM is all about?

    What's so exciting about BDSM is that the Sub is involved in everything that's going on, if he or she is properly trained.  
    This 2-in-1 book, including the following four books:Submissive Training: How To Live out Your Sexuality, Explore All Your Fantasies, and Transform Your Sex Life as the SUB in a BDSM SettingSubmissive Training: Learn the Principles of a Healthy SUB-DOM Relationship

    Robin Hood: The True Story of...

    If I asked you how many Robin Hoods you could name, what would the list be like? 
     
    I’m sure you’d reel off a whole host of famous actors, like Errol Flynn, Douglas Fairbanks, Kevin Costner, Michael Praed, Sean Connery, and John Cleese, to name but six. All of these men have played the role of Robin Hood in various television and movie adaptations of the famous story. 
     
    But that’s not what I meant. 
     
    I’m talking about Robin Hood himself; the ever popular and ever noble outlaw hero who robbed from the rich and gave to the poor, with his trusty bow and arrow as his weapon of choice. The leader of a band of like-minded outlaws, christened the Merry Men (‘merry’ – in this instance – derives from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning ‘illustrious, famous, great, mighty’, etc. In the same sense, Hood means ‘hoodlum, thief, thug, criminal’). Robin Hood was a champion for justice, fighting against the oppression of the evil Sheriff of Nottingham and his right-hand man Guy of Gisbourne, all under the watchful eye of the wicked Prince John (who had been placed on the throne as a substitute monarch whilst his brother, King Richard The Lionheart, fought in the Crusades). 
     
    Of course, that was only one Robin Hood. Very much like the various incarnations that have appeared in classic novels, Hollywood movies, television series, radio serials and theatrical plays, Robin Hood was more than one man.

    Same Ground - Chasing Family...

    “Read him.” — George Elliott Clarke, author of I & I and George and Rue
    		 
    An award-winning author goes looking for the meaning of family and belonging on a glorious wild-goose-chase road trip across middle America
    		 
    Wangersky’s great-great-grandfather crossed the continent in search of gold in 1849. William Castle Dodge was his name, and he was 22 years old. He wrote a diary of that eventful journey that comes into the author’s hands 160 years later. And typically, quixotically, Wangersky decides to follow Dodge’s westward trail across the great bulging middle of America, not in search of gold but something even less likely: that elusive thing called family.
    		 
    What ensues becomes this story, by turns hilarious and profound, about a very long trip — by car, in Wangersky’s case, and on mule and foot in Dodge’s. Interweaving his experiences on the road with Dodge’s diary, the author contemplates the human need to hunt for roots and meaning as he — and Dodge — encounter immigrants who risk everything to be somewhere else, while only glimpsing those who are there already and who want to hold onto their claim in the stream of human migration.
    		 
    Same Ground is a story about what time washes away and what persists — and what we might find, unexpectedly, if we go looking.

    Long before the words of the Bible were written, God's communication through the spoken word rang out loud and clear. Jesus in particular commissioned representatives to speak on his behalf even during the time of his earthly ministry. And yet today we are a reading culture. It is easy for modern Christians to take for granted that the Bible was handed down in written form, but the way we receive God's message is far different from how the original hearers would have heard it. These differences not only shape the way that we hear God's message to his people, but they put us at risk of misunderstanding his revelation.
    In Hear Ye the Word of the Lord, biblical scholar D. Brent Sandy explores how oral communication shaped the ways that biblical writers received God's message—and even more importantly, how the ancient and modern faithful receive it through hearing. Filled with helpful biblical insights related to oral communication and constructive ways for modern readers to become better hearers and performers of Scripture, Hear Ye the Word of the Lord provides a constructive way forward for readers interested in exploring how we can better hear God's Word.
