Paperback. Etat : Good. Updated Second Edition of the popular men's discipleship book. Includes updated diagrams, mile markers to break up the book into 25 in-depth studies, identity spread throughout the book instead of one deep chapter. Men loved the diagrams that visualized concepts, so I updated some to provide more clarity and I added new ones. Questions spread out in the book for small groups so that you do not have to buy yet another book. This interactive study book is designed to provide practical, biblical wisdom that can be applied immediately, and meaningfully passed on from one man to another through discipleship, mentoring, and most importantly, fatherhood. Designed for individual use or within a small group, the goal of this book is to provide interactive practical guidance for everyday life rooted in the classic virtues. So why should you care about the virtues as a man? Do carelessness, fear, gluttony, injustice, uncertainty, despair, and indifference sound like a summary of what plaques the modern male? The virtues are nothing new, in fact, these 7 virtues and associated properties or sub-virtues not only trace back to the Bible, but to Aristotle, and Plato. The four cardinal virtues of prudence, fortitude, justice, and temperance are part of natural law and written on the heart of every man, whereas the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity are infused by the Holy Spirit into the heart of every disciple of Christ. The theological virtues give the cardinal virtues power as faith provides men the motivation, charity the implementation, and hope the destination. Man's Ultimate Challenge will equip you to live as men of: (1) FORTITUDE and not FEAR; (2) PRUDENCE and not CARELESSNESS; (3) TEMPERANCE and not GLUTTONY; (4) JUSTICE and not INJUSTICE; (5) FAITH and not UNCERTAINTY; (6) HOPE and not DESPAIR; (7) CHARITY and not INDIFFERENCE. This book is interactive in that throughout the book you will have opportunities to engage with the text through diagnostic questions, study, memory tables, and even Internet research. At the end I hope that you feel equipped, challenged and encouraged to be the man God called you to be.…

Etat : Very Good. Mercedes Lackey's magical Elemental Masters series recasts familiar fairy tales in a richly-imagined alternate Victorian world Eleanor Robinson's life had shattered when Father volunteered for the Great War, leaving her alone with a woman he had just married. Then the letter came that told of her father's death in the trenches and though Eleanor thought things couldn't get any worse, her life took an even more bizarre turn. Dragged to the hearth by her stepmother Alison, Eleanor was forced to endure a painful and frightening ritual during which the smallest finger of her left hand was severed and buried beneath a hearthstone. For her stepmother was an Elemental Master of Earth who practiced the darker blood-fueled arts. Alison had bound Eleanor to the hearth with a spell that prevented her from leaving home, caused her to fade from people's memories, and made her into a virtual slave. Months faded into years for Eleanor, and still the war raged. There were times she felt she was losing her mind--times she seemed to see faces in the hearth fire. Reginald Fenyx was a pilot. He lived to fly, and whenever he returned home on break from Oxford, the youngsters of the town would turn out to see him lift his aeroplane--a frail ship of canvas and sticks--into the sky and soar through the clouds. During the war, Reggie had become an acclaimed air ace, for he was an Elemental Master of Air. His Air Elementals had protected him until the fateful day when he had met another of his kind aloft, and nearly died. When he returned home, Reggie was a broken man plagued by shell shock, his Elemental powers vanished. Eleanor and Reginald were two souls scourged by war and evil magic. Could they find the strength to help one another rise from the ashes of their destruction.…

Etat : Good. Mercedes Lackey's magical Elemental Masters series recasts familiar fairy tales in a richly-imagined alternate Victorian world The letter that introduced twelve-year-old Sarah Jane Lyon-White to Isabelle Harton, who ran the Harton School in central London, seemed quite simple and straightforward. But it was what was not written in the letter that resonated to Isabelle's own finely tuned "extra" senses: "Sarah has gifts we cannot train," the letter whispered to her, "nor can anyone we know. Those we trust tell us that you can."   And it was true, for the Harton School was far from ordinary. It was Isabelle's job to train children who possessed the odd types of magic that could not be trained by London's powerful Elemental Masters: clairvoyants, telepaths, those with the ability to sense hidden danger, the vision to see into the past, and even that rarest of all talents: the ability to see and communicate with the dead.   But Isabelle was uneasy, for though she knew that Sarah Jane had a touch of telepathy, there seemed to be something else about the girl--something that had not yet manifested.   And Isabelle was right to be worried, for as soon as Sarah's full talents became evident, there was an attempt made on her life. For Sarah was that rarest of magicians: a true medium, and for some reason, a powerful Elemental Master wanted her dead.   Isabelle knew that to protect her ward she would have to seek help from the Elemental Masters of the city. That meant she would also see Lord David Alderscroft, the man she had once loved, but who had inexplicably chilled toward her and broken her heart long ago--for he was the leader of the city's Elemental Masters, the man who was now called the Wizard of London.…
