    Michelle Cooper completes her heart-stealing epic drama of history and romance with The FitzOsbornes at War. Sophie FitzOsborne and the royal family of Montmaray escaped their remote island home when the Nazis attacked. But as war breaks out in England and around the world, nowhere is safe. Sophie fills her journal with tales of a life during wartime. Blackouts and the Blitz. Dancing in nightclubs with soliders on leave. And endlessly waiting for news of her brother Toby, whose plane was shot down over enemy territory. But even as bombs rain down on London, hope springs up, and love blooms for this most endearing princess. And when the Allies begin to drive their way across Europe, the FitzOsbornes take heart-maybe, just maybe, there will be a way to liberate Montmaray as well.

    Sixteen-year-old Zeeta and her flighty English-teaching mom, Layla, have traveled the world together, settling in a different country every year, making a whole new set of friends and adopting new customs. This year, they've chosen to live in Aix-en-Provence, France, an enchanting city full of fountains, creamy yellow light, and a fascinating group of scarlet-clad street performers.Zeeta soon begins to receive mysterious notes and gifts from someone she calls her fantôme, or ghost, admirer. But she is expecting her boyfriend, Wendell-the love of her life, as her friends call him-to arrive in Aix for a summer program very soon. Zeeta brushes off her curiosity about her fantôme, and her simmering attraction to one of the street performers, Jean-Claude, until Wendell arrives and she begins to fear that her feelings for him have truly changed. Perhaps-like Layla-she's simply not made for long-term romance.As Zeeta tries to draw away from Wendell, however, circumstances seem to force them together. Zeeta's friendship with a local antiques dealer and his reclusive artist friend leads to a dangerous adventure. When Zeeta and Wendell join forces to find a secret underground spring whose water is rumored to bring immortality, they are forced to reconsider their own desires, and their beliefs about true love. Yet as soon as Zeeta decides that her mind has cleared, she's confronted with the biggest shock of her life: the incredible true identity of her fantôme.Vibrant, warmhearted, and evocative, The Ruby Notebook is a remarkable novel about learning to accept love in all of its wondrous and imperfect forms.

    Have you tried harder to have a consistent time with the Lord-but failed?Does your mind wander during prayer, and do you run out of things to say?Do you question why it is so hard to fellowship with the Lord?Stop feeling like a failure at daily devotions and start walking every day with the Lord who loves you.Gene Edwards faced these same questions and struggles. And he found a better way to walk with the Lord than merely trying harder to pray and read the Bible.In Living Close to God (When You're Not Good at It) you will discover that loving God means much more than doing your best to serve Him. You will find ways to start your day with Christ, beginning with your first conscious thought in the morning. You will learn how to fellowship with Him during even the most demanding days. And when you go to the Scriptures, you will talk with Him in a two-way conversation-just as His first followers did.Includes a small-group discussion guide and a guidefor your own relationship with God.

    It's easy to get high on God in America. But is this good religion? In a compelling follow-up to her memoir, Girl at the End of the World, Elizabeth Esther explores how religious fervor can become religious addiction. The evidence is everywhere. In families who inexplicably choose to harm their children in order to abide by cultic church doctrine. But in ordinary believers too who use God the same way addicts use drugs or alcohol-to numb pain, alter their mood, or simply to escape the realities of this messy, unpredictable thing called life. If you've ever wondered how a religion that preaches freedom and love can produce judgmental and unkind followers; if you've ever felt captive to the demanding God of your own childhood; if you've struggled to find contentment without needing another emotional hit from a "life-changing" conference or "mountain-top" experience, then Spiritual Sobriety is for you. The author, who grew up in a hyper-controlling church cult, will help you find hope and rebirth in the ruins of disillusioned faith. Filled with stories and warm, practical advice, Spiritual Sobriety offers a gentle path out of the desperate cycles of craving-euphoria-hangover and into a freer, clean-and-sober faith practice.

    The bilingual (Galician-English) volume New York, New Poems brings together twenty-one poems by Claudio Rodríguez Fer, one of Galicia's most important contemporary poets and critics. The poems' protagonist is the city of New York. As Diana Conchado writes in her introduction, "The author's representation of the urban space that is New York City can be read as an affirmation of solidarity with life in its many manifestations, a perspective which informs his entire corpus." She cites Timothy Morton's concept of the "ecological thought", the thinking of interconnectedness, the awareness of how humans are connected with other beings in the most profound sense, and goes on to say, "The poems in this collection denaturalize the notion of separation, while they emphasize, and celebrate, our shared coexistence." The volume starts with In Pursuit of the Crimson Tapestry (The Cloisters Diptych, New York, 1992), a cycle of poems that centers around the physical space of The Cloisters, the Metropolitan Museum's four-acre space in Upper Manhattan devoted to European Medieval Art, and The Rape of Europa, both taken from the collection Extrema Europa (1996); it continues with the seven-poem cycle Mannahatta from the collection A unha muller descoñecida (1997) and "Rosalía's Revolution in New York" from the collection A muller sinfonía (Cancioneiro vital) (2018). It also contains the answers the author gave to the Proust Questionnaire for the cultural magazine Evohé in 2010. With this comprehensive selection spanning three decades, readers will be impressed by Rodríguez Fer's "celebration of love, especially, but not exclusively, erotic love (that ultimate fusion of forms), and its radical affirmation of life, its ability to overcome barriers, be they spatial, temporal, or ideological".

    The poems in this book are 'verbal snapshots' from when the author lived in Bucharest, Romania, with his family and served as Anglican chaplain in Bucharest and Sofia between 2002 and 2005. Romania has applied to join the EU following the revolution of 1989, which saw the overthrow of the Communist dictator Nicolae Ceaüescu and the start of transition to a market economy. Taxis are frighteningly cheap, the currency, the Leu, is about to be revalued, while Ceaüescu's demolition of old Bucharest is being compounded by capitalist developers. Change waits for no man, people must adapt, from the women selling fresh garden produce in the street to the lady who goes door to door, selling cream-rich milk from her six cows. With impish humour and detailed observation, Ramsay records his impressions of life in two Eastern European capitals, Bucharest and Sofia, to reveal a world of political change and vibrant culture. The poems are imaginatively illustrated by the author's wife, artist Celia Ward. James Ramsay is an Anglican priest living near the north Norfolk coast, where it is still possible to see the stars. While in full-time ministry he served in north Buckinghamshire, Oxford, Bucharest/Sofia, and East London. Celia Ward works from a studio in her walled garden, which is much appreciated by her husband when he is not looking at the stars. A painter, muralist, textile artist, and book designer, she also set up an arts centre in Bucharest and founded East London Textile Arts.

    FOREWORD BY PETER GABRIEL. School friend, aide-de-camp and tour manager, Richard Macphail was for almost five years the glue that held Genesis together, and in his affectionate memoir My Book of Genesis he tells his own unique story of the group's early years. Richard was the singer in Anon, the Charterhouse school group that included Mike Rutherford and Anthony Phillips, which would later merge with Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks' group The Garden Wall to become Genesis. Richard then became their one-man road crew, shepherding them from gig to gig, providing a cottage where they could live and rehearse and offering support when it was most needed. Richard was there when Phil Collins was auditioned, when Steve Hackett was recruited to replace Anthony Phillips and when Peter Gabriel left for a solo career. He was in the thick of it as they fulfilled their ambitions, signing to Charisma, touring Europe and America and recording a series of albums that fans fondly remember as the bedrock of Genesis' extraordinary career. In his book's final chapters he describes his ongoing relationship with Peter, Mike, Tony, Phil and Steve, a friendship that has endured for over 50 years. Featuring contributions from all the members of Genesis and co-written with former Melody Maker journalist Chris Charlesworth, My Book Of Genesis is both revealing and forthright, an insider's account that fans will treasure.'I think that we would have killed each other without Rich' - Mike Rutherford

    Non sappiamo se Diogene di Sinope abbia avuto la fortuna di trovare l¿uomo che durante il giorno cercava andando in giro con "una lanterna accesa". Ebbene, in uno spirito di briosa e arguta immaginazione, Mario Gabriele Giordano, con questi "aforismi vagabondi", ha inteso idealmente riaccendere quella lanterna per consentire una più agevole identificazione di quell¿uomo; e ciò attraverso la ricerca di cosa costui per esistere dovrebbe fare o non fare, cosa dovrebbe dire o non dire, cosa insomma dovrebbe essere o non essere. In realtà, l¿autore, al di là dell¿estroso riferimento a Diogene avanzato nella premessa, disegna qui con estrema serietà un rigoroso e articolato quadro della natura e della condizione dell¿uomo visto nella sua dimensione individuale e collettiva. Quali piccole tessere di un vasto mosaico, le singole osservazioni, che di volta in volta si presentano mordaci o pensose, polemiche o partecipi, amare o accorate, prospettano per altro la complessa realtà con cui l¿uomo è chiamato a confrontarsi con particolare riferimento alle strutture sociali e alle varie configurazioni della cultura e della storia.
