It was family separation and ''kids in cages'' that drove Sarah Towle to the U.S. southern border. On discovering the many-headed hydra that is the U.S. immigration system - and the heroic determination of those caught under its knee - she could never look away again. Crossing the Line: Finding America in the Borderlands charts Sarah''s journey from outrage to activism to abolition as she exposes, layer by ''broken'' layer, the global deterrence to detention to deportation complex that is failing everyone - save the profiteers and demagogues who benefit from it. Deftly weaving together oral storytelling, history, and memoir, Sarah illustrates how the U.S. has led the retreat from post-WWII commitments to protecting human rights. Yet within the web of normalized cruelty, she finds hope and inspiration in the extraordinary acts of ordinary people who prove, every day, there is a better way. By amplifying their voices and celebrating their efforts, Sarah reveals that we can welcome with dignity those most in need of safety and compassion. In unmasking the real root causes of the so-called ''crisis'' in human migration, she urges us to act before we travel much farther down our current course - one which history will ...

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.

Audiokniha: František Palacký (1798–1876) je vnímán jako Otec národa, politik a zakladatel české moderní historiografie, ale za touto oficiální fasádou se skrývá nevšední člověk, který zažil nejen slávu a ocenění, ale i nezdary a osobní utrpení. Jeho fascinující životní příběh přibližuje román odehrávající se na barvitém pozadí obrozenecké společnosti a převratných událostí, jimiž procházela česká společnost v polovině 19. století. František se rozhlédl po salonu prešpurské rezidence Zerdahelyiových. Vše tu vypovídalo o bohatství a přepychu – vyřezávaný nábytek, knihovny plné svazků vázaných v kůži, křišťálový lustr, vysoký perský koberec, kožešina před krbem, jehož římsu zdobily čínské vázy. Ze stěn na něj přísně shlížely stářím zčernalé portréty hraběcích předků, což v něm vyvolalo vzpomínku na dávné setkání s hraběnkou Marií Walpurgou v jejím kunvaldském sídle. Co tenhle tu dělá? jako by se ptaly jejich přísné tváře. Jak bude asi vypadat paní Zerdahelyiová? pomyslel si. Jeho všetečná bytná mu stačila prozradit, že jde o nesmírně vzdělanou dámu pocházející z vážené a urozené rodiny, které před necelým půlrokem zemřela dcera. František tedy usoudil, že bude asi vypadat jako hraběnka Marie Walpurga, s níž ji pojila stejně bolestná životní ztráta. Vtom se na chodbě ozvaly lehké kroky mířící k salonu. Dveře se po chvíli ...

In early 2009 a strange sort of business plan landed on the desk of a pinstriped bank manager. It had pictures of rats and moles in rowing boats and archaic quotes about Cleopatra''s barge.

Nevertheless The Book Barge opened six months later and enjoyed the happy patronage of local readers, a growing number of eccentrics and the odd moorhen.Business wasn''t always easy, so one May morning owner Sarah Henshaw set off for six months chugging the length and breadth of the country.
