Paperback. Etat : Very Good. In 23 letters written after the death of her son, the author describes her pain, exhaustion, guilt and despair. She also draws upon the hope and grace and promise that are the gifts of the Christian Church. The letters, written to family, friends, and members of her congregation, are informed by doctrines of the church, scripture and the wisdom of foremothers and forefathers of the faith. The letters engage with, and sometimes quarrel with, those resources or interpretation of them. It is this well-grounded theological reflection and the shared experience of faith tested and made stronger in the terrible fire of grief which sets this book apart. NOTE: Two of these letters were published in Circuit Rider (March/April 2001). The response was very positive among readers, including Martin Marty who picked up a long quote in his popular publication Context.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. A traveling librarian ventures into the mining towns of Kentucky on horseback-and learns to trust the One who truly pens her story-in this powerful novel from the best-selling author ofA Silken Thread. During the Great Depression, city-dweller Addie Cowherd dreams of becoming a novelist and offering readers the escape that books had given her during her tragic childhood. When her father loses his job, she is forced to take the only employment she can find-delivering books on horseback to poor coal-mining families in the hills of Kentucky. But turning a new page will be nearly impossible in Boone's Hollow, where residents are steeped in superstitions and deeply suspicious of outsiders. Even local Emmett Tharp feels the sting of rejection after returning to the tiny mountain hamlet as the first in his family to graduate college. And as the crippled economy leaves many men jobless, he fears his degree won't be worth much in a place where most men either work the coal mine or run moonshine. As Addie also struggles to find her place, she'll unearth the truth about a decades-old rivalry. But when someone sets out to sabotage the town's library program, will the culprit chase Addie away or straight into the arms of the only person who can help her put a broken community back together.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. ?Deeply reported and compellingly told, Kenneth Vogel?s Devils? Advocates shines a light into the underground world of foreign cash, Washington lobbyists, and the selling of American policy to outsiders. This book hits at the perfect moment, giving invaluable insight into why foreign interests are so powerful in Washington.? ?#1 New York Times bestselling authors Jonathan Allen and Amie ParnesNew York Times investigative reporter Kenneth P. Vogel takes us inside Washington?s murky foreign lobbying industry, providing an unsparing look at the politically connected and morally flexible Americans who get rich working on behalf of brutal dictators, corrupt oligarchs, and pitiless arms dealers.The foreign influence business, comprised of shadowy operators who quietly shape U.S. foreign policy while producing massive paydays for themselves, has existed for decades, often unnoticed by Americans. In recent years, it began generating more controversy and scrutiny, thanks to the larger-than-life characters who gained access to power starting in Donald Trump?s first presidential term.Among them is Robert Stryk, who dresses more like a cowboy than a traditional lobbyist. He had failed at several businesses before bluffing his way into relationships in Washington and around the world, quickly amassing wealth, influence, and a reputation for taking deals no one else would dare to touch.Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani, once ?America?s Mayor,? found his fading star rising again under Trump. Giuliani leveraged his position as Trump?s personal lawyer into deals with foreign interests who saw him as a direct line to the president. Hunter Biden, too, the son of the future president, was no stranger to the business, having capitalized on his father?s connections since the elder Biden?s days as a senator and vice president.As the new wave of foreign influence peddlers spent millions on fast cars, pricey cigars, and flashy watches, their stories weaved together in ways that subverted American foreign policy interests. Some became headline-grabbing scandals. Others are being revealed here for the first time.Using exclusive sources, thousands of documents, and on-the-ground reporting, Vogel takes readers from an oligarch?s wooded compound outside Kyiv and a South American presidential palace to the halls of power in Washington, DC, and inside the CIA. Devils? Advocates shines a harsh light on the people, places, and deals behind this seedy?and often absurd?industry, and provides a never-before-seen look at this billion-dollar business that is often at odds with American values like human rights and democracy.This gripping work of political nonfiction reveals the hidden mechanics of the foreign influence machine:Pay-to-Play Politics: Follow the money from brutal dictators and corrupt oligarchs to the Americans?like Rudy Giuliani and Hunter Biden?who get rich representing them.On-the-Ground Reporting: Journey from an oligarch?s compound outside Kyiv to the halls of power in Washington, DC, with a veteran reporter who documents it all.Political Scandals Uncovered: Discover the stories behind headline-grabbing scandals and those revealed for the first time through thousands of exclusive documents and sources.The Architects of Influence: Explore the roles of key figures like Paul Manafort and Robert Stryk who pioneered and perfected the billion-dollar business of selling American policy.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Alice loves her street. She loves its tall maple trees and marigolds and its apartment buildings with their colourful balconies. But not everyone feels the same. 'Grumble, grumble, more construction, grumble, late, grumble,' she overhears. So Alice decides to write her street a love letter, which she leaves for someone to find. Through the seasons, as Alice encounters people grumbling about other things, she writes those things love letters, too, and leaves them to be found. She writes to her local park, a maple tree and even the snow. Then, one day, when Alice finds herself grumbling, she discovers a letter someone else has written to the spring crocuses. And Alice feels the joy she has been spreading to others come back to her! Lindsay Zier-Vogel has created a delightful, uplifting story that celebrates how small acts by a single person can make a difference in a community. It inspires readers to pay attention and appreciate what they encounter every day. Caroline Bonne-Muller's busy colour-drenched illustrations beautifully evoke the abundance surrounding everyone (grumbling or not!) every day. This story was inspired by the international Love Lettering Project created by the author, in which participants write love letters to their communities and hide them for strangers to find. An explanation of the project at the end of the story encourages readers to write their own letters. This heartwarming picture book aligns with social studies lessons on cultures and communities, and character education lessons on caring, empathy and initiative.
