Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - They had come! The men in the dragon ships from the North. After the death of her father, Eislyn is left to manage her family estate on the coast of Wales, a role she enjoys but knows she can't keep forever, as tenth century protocol dictates that she must marry so there is a lord of the manor. But there is a problem. Eislyn is unwilling to marry for duty, only love, and her most persistent suitor is her nearest neighbor. Widowed and considerably older than Eislyn, Sir Jonas will stop at nothing to acquire her as his bride, but most importantly her prosperous estate as his own. Meanwhile, a young Viking named Torben, is heading across the Irish Sea to meet Eislyn, carrying with him a marriage contract signed by her father and blessed by the king of Wales. Torben seems charming enough, but Eislyn is on guard; after all, Vikings are all ruthless enemies. Or are they As Torben and Eislyn get to know each other-and she continues to refuse to marry for any reason but love-there are those plotting to keep them apart, including Alva, the new lady of the manor, and the vengeful jilted suitor Sir Jonas. And at times even Eislyn herself thwarts her own chances at happiness. It is ultimately her trust in God that gets her through each trial and circumstance.Will Eislyn be forced to marry Sir Jonas Will Torben realize that having a family with Alva will not bring him happiness, and that only by marrying his Celtic princess will he find true joy And will Eislyn finally discover that home is not a place but a Viking's heart.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This delayed coming-of-age story intimately recounts Gordon Postill's life from 1970-1980, a decade that pivotally shapes how the rest of his life will unfold. Initially a story of failure, self-loathing, addiction, and deceit, it's ultimately a story of grace, faith, hope, and transformation. After a three-year debauched romp of sensual delights, he flunks out of Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario in 1970, and over the next several years becomes increasingly dispirited, feeling irreversibly mired in existential despair, promiscuous sex, ignominy, and jobs ranging from nickel miner to security guard.But in October 1976, he receives an astonishing call to ministry. Jaw-dropping serendipity subsequently enables this long-time non-churchgoer to enter seminary eleven months later as a candidate for the ordained ministry. Trusting his call to ministry, even in times of immense self-doubt and debilitating anxiety, sets in motion an unexpected restorative process. A wide array of blessings along with his significant personal growth wondrously culminate with this longshot's ordination by the United Church of Canada in May 1980. After thirty-five years of fulfilling ministry, primarily as a hospice chaplain, he retires in November 2015 to care for his beloved wife, Robin, diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. Personal, transparent, and engaging, Called! A Longshot's Story will inspire and warm hearts, evocatively prompting readers to truthfully examine their lives through their own spiritual lenses, and hence might come to realize some additional faith and hope, courage and clarity, gratitude and generosity which had previously eluded them. Game on. …

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - David Edey wants to save you a lot of trouble! In this self-help book he clearly, concisely, and repeatedly explains why it is important that every individual appoint an executor of their estate; what it means to be an executor of an estate; and how having a knowledgeable and responsible executor can help ensure a family's wealth, welfare, health, and future happiness. The book is filled with advice, tips, and many real-life examples demonstrating what can go wrong (and what can go right), depending on whether or not families plan accordingly in advance, communicate clearly with one another, and are willing to put petty and selfish differences aside. No one likes talking about death and inheritances before they absolutely have to, but as Edey learned from personal experience, having these conversations earlier, rather than later, will save a lot of time and money, alleviate a ton of stress and ill feeling, and ensure that the deceased's wishes are properly and efficiently carried out.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'Through Woods on Water' is a novel, an historic fiction: the life of Étienne Brûlé 'as it might have been.'Set in the first decades of the 17th century, it is a coming of age story, a clash of cultures, a saga of exploration and adventure that rebounds between the enclosed corridors and courtyards of Paris, across the open, storm-tossed Atlantic, to the wilderness waterways of the vast Canadian forest. Savignon and Étienne, Wendat and French, are in their mid teens when they meet on the shores of the broad St Lawrence River, brought there by the chalk-faced shaman Ostemoy and the determined navigator Champlain. Inspired by the Wendat heroes Iouskeha and Tawiscaron, who gave shape and texture to the world of the Wendat, the two form an unlikely lifetime bond symbolized by the half turtle Oki or talisman that each wears about his neck. Their connection intensifies through decades of wandering, discovery, torture and adventure, until it concludes with a final confrontation by the Sweetwater Sea. Only then are the halves of the Turtle Oki fused once more.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This autobiographical poetry collection recounts tales from the periphery of society, illuminating, in the author's words, 'a life misspent without repent.' Fellow outcasts will recognize themselves in these diverse themes, including social status, love, friendship, and the many hardships that constitute the human condition. For readers who have lived a safe distance from the underbelly of society-street life, hustling, prison, homelessness, addiction, and poverty-these raw, candid, and powerful poems allow them to vicariously experience the life of the ostracized. Poets Road- The Wurdz is intended as a companion guide to the author's three previous compact discs, including all the poems and their track art. Photographs enhance and anchor the poems here; many of the featured photos were taken during the poem's creation. With this book, readers can see, read, understand, and feel the words, poems, and lyrics as they stand on their own.Written in a boisterous, lyrical style, and created from the author's lived experiences, Poets Road- The Wurdz travels the dark alleys most folks try to avoid, exploring the many facets of what it means to live-and sometimes barely survive-in modern society. It gives a voice to the downtrodden, those kicked around by people and circumstances, then left to flounder and figure it out on their own. Take a glimpse into the author's complex inner world, and ponder questions that perhaps remain without answers.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This book is a love letter to the free press. It is Julian H. Walker's personal memoir as a citizen and reporter which calls for a healthier New Brunswick free press-one that is more diverse, competitive, independent, and feisty. Through its traditional emulation of KC Irving and his family's empire, New Brunswick has grown used to one-owner control of two key sectors, the media and large industry. Walker argues these two need not be mortal enemies, but they should not march forward hand in hand.Journalists are on a constant journey in pursuit of facts and the truth. If they do their job well, they bring new realities to light, promoting discussion and debate. In doing so, they help bring about positive change. In his memoir, Walker takes us through numerous examples of the perils of a wires-crossed relationship, notably in New Brunswick but also to an increasing extent across North America. Despite such examples, this book is affectionate toward such Irving family members as noted conservationist, JK Irving, eldest son of KC, and Ralph Costello, Irving loyalist and publisher of the flagship daily, Telegraph-Journal.The danger to the New Brunswick free press stems mainly from the wires-crossed relationship between the Irving Press and Irving industry. Under this structure, the Irvings are simply covering themselves in their own media. Walker argues that a strong and independent free press, whether digital or on newsprint, is vital for assuring good government in North America and the survival of Liberal Democracy itself.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What if an animal could resemble a human, sometimes even more than a real human Duck Light is the story of Lulu and Rosie: two ducks in love. And, quite frankly, they are bored with life as ducks. The pair are recently engaged and live their lives together in a way similar to what they observe in humans: cooking from a cookbook, watching television, sleeping in a bed, smoking, vaping, drinking, swearing . . . you get the idea. Each chapter is a complete short story, with the stories linked by the pair's relationship, their impending migration, and their pesky next door neighbours: the scary and mean man on the right, and to the left, Margaret the crazed squirrel. The book opens with Lulu in the bathtub, savouring a cigarette to the sounds of Offenbach. As the chapters progress, winter is on its way, so all the ducks, including Lulu and Rosie, will have to fly south for the cold season. 'Down South' is their eventual winter destination, and also the setting for the couple's upcoming nuptials. The book ends with the zany pair being wed in a virtually perfect beach ceremony attended by their migratory pals. It seems as though Lulu and Rosie are basically humans, and not ducks at all! Does their near-human lifestyle exist only in their imaginations, or are they truly as sophisticated as they believe Through the two feathered protagonists endowed with human characteristics, such as Lulu's tendency to be a people-pleaser, and Rosie's mean streak, this humorous work contemplates a serious question: How can one break free of societal expectations 108 pp. Englisch.
