  The official authorized companion to the much-loved Netflix show Emily in Paris. Paris, J'Adore! is Emily Cooper's diary about her life in France so far. From leaving her boyfriend in Chicago to starting at marketing firm Savoir in Paris, it reveals all the thrill, fear and confusion Emily experiences as she embarks on her new life. She becomes acquainted not only with French workplace etiquette - the long lunches, the arguments, the determined reluctance to use social media - but also with Gabriel, the hottest chef in town. Some things, though, are beyond comprehension: like why the first floor in a Parisian apartment building is the second floor and the first floor is the ground floor. As the months go by, Emily learns how it's perfectly normal to have a glass of Sancerre for breakfast and how you should never turn up early at work. But more than anything, she learns about love, female friendships, and how exciting it is to step out of your comfort zone in this beautiful and intriguing city. Paris, J'Adore! is also a guidebook to how to be a Parisian, with tips on fashion, romance, and where to capture the perfect selfie in the City of Lights. Written in Emily's voice, it will contain the following sections:  Emily's Fashion Paris - all about Emily's favourite outfits and designers - from Cadault to Chanel - as well as tips on what to wear to the beach, where to find the best boutiques, and how to dress like a Parisian;  Emily's Romantic Paris - the best bridges to kiss and break up on, where you can find the most breathtaking views and the most perfect backstreets, why the magic of the Eiffel Tower twinkling at night is the most intoxicating backdrop to falling in love, and a selection of the most evocative French songs to sing along to;  Emily's Secret Paris - where Parisians show Emily the real Paris, from the hamman in the Mosquée de Paris to the Atelier des Lumières, and from small independent French cinemas to delightful neighbourhood restaurants;   Emily's Workplace Paris - how to navigate tensions and emotions in a French boardroom, lunch and coffee break rituals, Sylvie's own version of Savoir's Employee Handbook, and how to teach the French about social media;   Emily's Escapades from Paris - including the delights of the Champagne region, the sheer glamour of Saint-Tropez and the opulence of the Château de Versailles.  Paris, J'Adore! is a hugely desirable gift for all the fans of the show.

  Cannabis and the Christian -...

  What does the Bible say about marijuana? If it doesn’t directly address marijuana, how can Christians know what to make of the legalization of recreational cannabis and the advocacy of medical marijuana?  In the past, Christians could easily answer the question of whether or not it was permissible to use cannabis by deferring to state prohibitions. We could simply say, “it’s against the law.” Today, that answer is no longer possible. Christians are now forced to do what they should have been doing all along: Think like disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and bring to bear the wisdom of the sufficient Word of God.   Since cannabis is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, we must understand what it is and how it affects the user. We also must understand what the Bible says about discipleship, healing, suffering, and what it is to be human. Only then can we answer the critical questions regarding the recreational use and the medical use of cannabis.  In Cannabis and the Christian, Todd Miles gives listeners:  Biblical wisdom applied to the question of recreational cannabis  Biblical wisdom related to the medical use of cannabis  A grid to think through other ethical questions that aren’t directly addressed in the Bible  Confidence to respond to challenging issues standing on the sufficient Word of God

  Egyptian Legends and Folktales -...

  In ancient Egyptian mythology, the creation of the world was a profound and mystical event, explained through various narratives rooted in different regions. These myths aimed to answer fundamental questions about existence, the origins of the gods, and humanity's place within the universe. Among the most significant are the myths from Heliopolis, Hermopolis, and Memphis, each offering a unique perspective on creation. 
  The Ennead of Heliopolis tells the story of creation centered around Atum, the first god, who emerged from the chaotic waters of Nun. Atum, often depicted as a self-created deity, brought forth the twin deities Shu, god of air, and Tefnut, goddess of moisture, by spitting or coughing them out. These two then gave birth to Geb, the earth god, and Nut, the sky goddess. From their union came Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys, forming the Ennead, a group of nine deities. This myth emphasizes the power of creation through divine will and the subsequent emergence of order from chaos. 
  In Hermopolis, the Ogdoad myth presents a different version of creation. Here, eight primordial deities existed in male and female pairs, representing elements like darkness, water, and chaos. These pairs were Amun and Amaunet, Heh and Hauhet, Kek and Kauket, and Nun and Naunet. They resided in the watery abyss before merging their powers to create a primordial mound, from which the sun god Ra emerged, illuminating the world. This story highlights the collaboration of fundamental forces to bring forth light and life.
