Thirteen Lessons that Saved Thirteen Lives - John Volanthen

As depicted in Ron Howard's hit film THIRTEEN LIVES, this is the THRILLING account of the dramatic Thai cave rescue which saved the lives of thirteen people, FROM THE DIVER WHO LED THE RESCUE. ‘A profound and thrilling read.’ COLIN FARRELL ‘Riveting...a powerful story written by a hero who lived it.’ RON HOWARD, Oscar-winning director of Apollo 13 In this first-hand account, John Volanthen reveals how he pushed the limits of human endurance in the life-or-death mission to rescue the Thai youth soccer team trapped in the flooded cave.The world held its breath in 2018 when the Wild Boars soccer team and their coach went missing deep underground in the Tham Luang cave complex in northern Thailand. They had been stranded by sudden, continuous monsoon rains while exploring the caves after practice. With torrential rain pouring down and the waters still on the rise, an army of rescue teams and equipment was deployed, including Thai Navy SEALs, a US Air Force special tactics squadron, police sniffer dogs, drones and robots. But it was British cave diver John Volanthen and his partner, Rick Stanton, who were first to reach the stranded team and who played a key role in their ultimate rescue. As John’s light flickered from one boy to another, he called out, ‘How many of you?’ ‘Thirteen,’a boy answered. After 10 days trapped in desperate darkness, the boys and their coach were all alive. Each chapter of Thirteen Lessons that Saved Thirteen Lives tells one part of the edge-of-your-seat mission from Tham Luang but also imparts a life lesson, gleaned from John’s previous rescues and record-breaking cave dives, that can be applied to everyday obstacles and challenges. In this story of breathtaking courage and nerves of steel, John reveals how responding positively to the statement, ‘But I can’t…’ by stating, ‘I can,’ led to one of the most incredible rescues of all time. He hopes that his story will inspire the superhero in you. Meanwhile, he is always on standby for the next rescue.

Seven Days that Divide the World, 10th Anniversary Edition - John Lennox C.

Now revised and updated--John Lennox''s acclaimed method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture. What did the writer of Genesis mean by "the first day?" Are the seven days in Genesis 1 a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old as cosmologists believe, am I denying the authority of Scripture?With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while staying faithful to the biblical narrative. He moves beyond a simple response to the controversy, insisting that Genesis teaches us far more about the God of Jesus Christ and about God''s intention for creation than it does about the age of the earth.With this book, Lennox offers a careful and accessible introduction to a scientifically-savvy, theologically-astute, and Scripturally faithful interpretation of Genesis.Since its publication in 2011, this book has enabled many readers to see that the major controversy with which it engages can be resolved without compromising commitment to the authority of Scripture. In this newly revised and expanded edition, John clarifies his arguments, responds to comments and critiques of the past decade since its first publication. In particular, he describes some of the history up to modern times of Jewish scholarly interpretation of the Genesis creation narrative as well as spelling out in more detail the breadth of views in the Great Tradition of interpretation due to the early Church Fathers. He shows that, contrary to what many people think, much of the difficulty with understanding the biblical texts does not arise from modern science but from attempting to elucidate the texts in their own right.

That They May Face the Rising Sun - John McGahern

We are introduced, with deceptive simplicity, to a complete representation of existence - an enclosed world has been transformed into an Everywhere.''McGahern brings us that tonic gift of the best fiction, the sense of truth - the sense of transparency that permits us to see imaginary lives more clearly than we see our own.''

Word Study: for Phonics, Vocabulary, and Spelling Instruction, Global Edition, 7th edition - Donald Bear, Shane Templeton, Marcia Invernizzi, Francine

Word Study offers a developmental approach, providing teachers with the resources to implement word study instruction aligned to students’ needs at every stage of their development, from kindergarten to junior secondary. The features of words that students learn in spelling enhance their reading skills, just as reading illuminates their spelling, vocabulary and writing. The awareness and appreciation of how students construct this knowledge empowers teachers to both advocate for developmental instruction and help students succeed in literacy learning. This approach gets results and stands in sharp contrast to most spelling programs that ask students to memorise rules and words. Systematic, teacher-directed and student-centred, this seminal text, now in its seventh edition, is underpinned by an evidence-based approach and academic rigour that makes this text a practical and engaging way for teachers to study word features, sound, pattern and meaning with students. The spelling inventories enable teachers to assess and then track student progress, while word sorts and word study games foster critical thinking by involving students in discussion, analysis and reflection. Accompanying the print book is the companion website for Word Study, an online tool that provides educators with a way to engage students in interactive word study. Features include automatically scored spelling inventories, interactive word sorts, printable game templates and data reporting and oversight for grouping and assistance to monitor student progress. There are five stage-specific word sort companions for Word Study for Phonics, Vocabulary and Spelling Instruction.

However, it is hard to feel quite so sanguine about our word power when considering those 25,000 words account for less than fifteen per cent of the total words in current usage in the English language.

Containing verbatim reports both of speeches by leaders and the chance comments of bystanders, set against an idealized backcloth of the proletariat, soldiers, sailors, and peasants uniting to throw off oppression, Reed's account is the product of passionate involvement and remains an unsurpassed classic of reporting.

The F-Word - Jesse Sheidlower

A skillfully updated edition of The F-Word which renders a comprehensive portrait of English''s most notorious and colorful word. No word has generated more uses, more creative euphemisms, and more strong opinions than fuck. Jesse Sheidlower''s historical dictionary, now in print for over 25 years, charts the uses of fuck and its many permutations, from absofuckinglutely to zipless fuck. It illustrates every sense of every entry with quotations, from the earliest that can be found to a recent example, showing exactly how the word has been used throughout history.This new edition is not just a minor update but a comprehensive revision of Sheidlower''s groundbreaking text for the internet age. Major new discoveries push back the known history of fuck by almost two hundred years. Sheidlower also considers rapidly changing attitudes towards the use of fuck in public discourse. The volume includes over 2,500 new quotations; over 150 new antedatings (earlier examples of existing entries, improving our understanding of the word''s development); and over 150 entries, including high-profile recent uses such as AF ''as fuck'', fuckboi, and the group of expressions of the sort to give no fucks or zero fucks given.

Revelation and the Word of God - The Rev. Professor Paul Avis

A unique work of Fundamental Theology, Revelation and the Word of God explores key issues of divine revelation as open questions. They include: Why is revelation so elusive? Existential and philosophical problems of revelation in the context of apologetics. The self-revelation of God in mystery. What does it mean to say, as the Bible does, that God 'speaks' and 'acts'? How does revelation relate to the Bible, history, religious experience and the church? The relational and personalist dimensions of revelation. What the biblical Wisdom tradition contributes to our understanding of revelation.The threefold form of the Word of God: Jesus Christ – the incarnate Word (Logos) and Wisdom (Sophia) of God; the Scriptures that witness to him; and the church's proclamation (kerygma) in preaching, sacraments and other ways. The role of hermeneutics, cultural constraints and imagination in the reception of revelation. Critique (including Feminist Theology) of claimed 'revelation'. Is there revelation today? How do developments in doctrine and practice relate to divine revelation? The liturgy as a vehicle of the Word of God. The Word in pastoral practice. Jesus Christ as the crown and criterion of divine revelation according to the Fourth Gospel.

How the Word Is Passed - Smith Clint

ONE OF BARACK OBAMA''S FAVOURITE BOOKS OF THE YEARA NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERLONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION''A beautifully readable reminder of how much of our urgent, collective history resounds in places all around us that have been hidden in plain sight.'' Afua Hirsch, author of Brit(ish)Beginning in his hometown of New Orleans, Clint Smith leads the reader on an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks - those that are honest about the past and those that are not - which offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping a nation''s collective history, and our own.It is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola, a former plantation-turned-maximum-security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers.A deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our most essential stories are hidden in plain view - whether in places we might drive by on our way to work, holidays such as Juneteenth or entire neighbourhoods like downtown Manhattan, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men, women and children has been deeply imprinted.How the Word is Passed is a landmark book that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of the United States. Chosen as a book of the year by President Barack Obama, The Economist, Time, the New York Times and more, fans of Brit(ish) and Natives will be utterly captivated.What readers are saying about How the Word is Passed:''How the Word Is Passed frees history, frees humanity to reckon honestly with the legacy of slavery. We need this book.'' Ibram X. Kendi, Number One New York Times bestselling author''An extraordinary contribution to the way we understand ourselves.'' Julian Lucas, New York Times Book Review''The detail and depth of the storytelling is vivid and visceral, making history present and real.'' Hope Wabuke, NPR''This isn''t just a work of history, it''s an intimate, active exploration of how we''re still constructing and distorting our history." Ron Charles, The Washington Post''In re-examining neighbourhoods, holidays and quotidian sites, Smith forces us to reconsider what we think we know about American history.'' Time''A history of slavery in this country unlike anything you''ve read before.'' Entertainment Weekly''A beautifully written, evocative, and timely meditation on the way slavery is commemorated in the United States.'' Annette Gordon-Reed, Pulitzer Prize-winning author
