Sinopse

In "Royal Highness," Thomas Mann crafts a nuanced exploration of the interplay between personal ambition and societal expectations set against the backdrop of a fictional European principality. Mann's prose demonstrates his trademark psychological depth and incisive wit, painting a vivid portrait of aristocratic life while dissecting the intricacies of identity and fidelity. The novella is steeped in the early 20th-century context of modernism, echoing the tensions of a rapidly changing Europe, and highlighting themes of individuality versus duty within the rigid structures of nobility. Thomas Mann, Nobel laureate and a pivotal figure in German literature, was deeply influenced by his own experiences within a bourgeois family and the complex socio-political milieu of his time. His examination of the moral dilemmas faced by his characters often mirrors the existential concerns of his own life. "Royal Highness" was written during a period of profound transformation in Mann's career, reflecting his evolving views on fame, identity, and human relationships, and providing insight into the conflicts that plagued both individuals and society. This novella is a must-read for those interested in a masterful allegory of class and identity, where Mann's eloquence reveals the sublime and the absurd in the lives of his characters. Readers will find a rich tapestry of thought-provoking themes and literary elegance that not only captivates the mind but also resonates with the broader human experience.

During the years of 1995-2008 I fought the law (Secondary School Administrators) and the law won. I taught with my heart and not my head. I gave my all but did not know this was not allowed. I was nominated Teacher of the Year Twice. Yet lost it because I was teaching out of my area. I left twice in the middle of the year, well three times because the Law was not doing its job. This is a book I feel every new teacher or even a veteran should read. It is a tale all, no holds barred, except changing the names, locations to protect from any law suits. At first I labeled this “Teaching Black While White” because many districts I worked in were minority based or “At Risk.” Now I must warn my readers; this is a male Caucasian teacher not realizing this game is ruled by the opposite sex. Though most of my enemies were male Principals. I will be able to give you some subtle guides as to what to do and what not to do at any school. This book is dedicated to students every where who are stereo typed as low achievers. Also to teachers or educators who are thinking of giving up; don't give them the satisfaction. Stay in the game!

All's fair in love and war . . . until your brother brings his bad boy, ice hockey playing best friend into your life. 
 
 
 
Riley: I'm pouring all my savings into launching my own catering business, so the last thing I need is distraction. Even if he is six feet five inches tall, plays ice hockey, and is probably one of the most intriguing, and also maddening, people I've met. Ever. 
 
 
 
People say he's grumpy, but to me, he's funny and kind, too. He's misunderstood and even though he's one of the most famous players coming up in the ranks right now, he doesn't feel seen by those he loves . . . and I get that. But I've got my own fears: that my dreams fail, my mother keeps rejecting me, and the big one—my fear of commitment. 
 
 
 
Jake: Getting suspended for 'anger issues' lands me in Sweetkiss Creek at my agent's request. Licking my wounds and taking a time out sounds ridiculous . . . until I meet her. She's feisty, sassy, and fiery enough that I swear she could melt the ice I skate on. 
 
 
 
I never would have thought I'd find solace and an unexpected ally in the person who's old bedroom I'm staying in. The last thing I want or need is to fall in love—but for some reason my heart isn't getting the memo.

New Life in Christ is a multi-volume anthology of the writings and sermons written and presented by Dr. Strem during his many years in pastoral ministry. These volumes present the breadth of Christian theology in a personal and informal manner that serves to address the application of Christian faith in daily life. Written during a time when there is a great need for discipleship in the community of Christian faith, Dr. Strem addresses that need by organizing the material in a manner that may be used both as a reference text on theological subjects and for instruction in Christian living. -- Dr Jack Carter, General Editor, The Journal of Biblical Theology. 
Dr. Strem has been a mentor and disciple-maker for me and my family for twenty years. Faithfully teaching God’s Word so that both the layman and the scholar are able to understand, Dr. Strem has also remained a friend in the work of the ministry, benefiting the church and the community with love and hard work. I highly recommend these years of teaching in this written word to those who want to grow well in Christ. -- Donna Arthur - Editor and Teacher -- Trinity EFC
