A Penitent People: The Doctrine of RepentanceIn this refreshing exploration of a frequently misunderstood spiritual discipline, Harrison Perkins invites Christians to reconsider repentance not as a dreary obligation, but as a joyful gift of grace. With theological depth and pastoral sensitivity, Perkins shows how repentance is about freedomâ ”Christ freeing His people from sin s enslaving power. Drawing from Scripture and Reformed tradition, A Penitent People illuminates repentance as both personal posture and communal practice. Through thoughtful examinations of key biblical passages, Perkins demonstrates that genuine repentance flows from faith, propels us toward Christ, and transforms both individuals and churches. This book challenges common misconceptions, showing that repentance isn t about earning God s favor but experiencing the freedom Christ purchased. Rather than focusing on guilt, Perkins emphasizes how repentance allows believers to enjoy the â ˜twofold benefitâ ™ of Christâ ”justification and progressive sanctification. Perfect for pastors, students, and everyday Christians seeking to deepen their spiritual life, A Penitent People offers a biblical vision of repentance that liberates rather than burdensâ ”inviting readers to discover the sweet relief of turning from sin to embrace the goodness of God.

Alfréd Perkins má zdánlivě všechno. Peníze, mladou milenku a především úspěšný podnik, s nímž na sklonku devatenáctého století kočuje Evropou, aby publiku předvedl vousatou ženu, siamská dvojčata, obra nebo trpaslíky. Jednoho dne Perkinse navštíví Leopold Higgs, jeho starý známý, a nabídne mu, aby společně založili zábavní park v Čechách. Perkins souhlasí, aniž by tušil, jaké důsledky bude toto rozhodnutí mít nejen pro něj, ale i pro jeho svěřence.O téměř sto třicet let později přijíždí na místo bývalého zábavního parku doktor historie Benedikt Knesl se svojí praktikantkou Klárou, aby pomohli policii s nevšedním případem.

A common-sense guide to living rich . . . instead of dying rich Imagine if by the time you died, you did everything you were told to. You worked hard, saved your money, and looked forward to financial freedom when you retired. The only thing you wasted along the way was . . . your life. Die with Zero presents a startling new and provocative philosophy as well as practical guide on how to get the most out of your money—and out of your life. It’s intended for those who place lifelong memorable experiences far ahead of simply making and accumulating money for one’s so-called “golden years.” In short, Bill Perkins wants to rescue you from over-saving and under-living. Regardless of your age, Die with Zero will teach you Perkins’s plan for optimizing your life, stage by stage, so you’re fully engaged and enjoying what you’ve worked and saved for. You’ll discover how to maximize your lifetime memorable moments with “time-bucketing,” how to convert your earnings into priceless memories by following your “net worth curve,” and how to navigate decisions about whether to invest in, or delay, a meaningful adventure with your “fulfillment curve” and “personal interest rate.” Using his own life experiences as well as the inspiring stories and cautionary tales of others—and drawing on eye-opening insights about time, money, and happiness from psychological science and behavioral finance—Perkins makes a timely, convincing, and contrarian case for living large.

***THE WORD OF MOUTH INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NOW UPDATED WITH 15 EXPLOSIVE NEW CHAPTERS***False economics. Threats, bribes, extortion. Debt, deception, coups, assassinations and unbridled military power. These are the tools used by the â ˜corporatocracyâ ™ â “ a vast network of corporations, banks, colluding governments and rich and powerful individuals â “ to ensure that they retain and expand their wealth and influence, growing richer and richer as the poor become poorer.In his original, post 9/11 book, John Perkins revealed how he was recruited as an economic hit man in the 1970s, and exposed the corrupt methods American corporations use to spread their influence in the developing world, cheating countries out of trillions of dollars. In this new, extensively updated edition he lays bare the latest, terrifying evolution of the economic hit man, and how the system has become even more entrenched and powerful than ever before.In New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John Perkins provides fresh and chilling evidence of how the corporatocracy has grown its influence to every corner of the globe, making us all unwitting slaves to their regime. But he also provides advice on how we can end our unconscious support of the system and its self-serving, lethal economy.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Perkins has, once again, made a substantial contribution to a world that needs whistle-blowers to open its eyes to the true sources of political, social, and economic power - Yanis Varoufakis It comes from the heart.

Discover the woman behind the spectacles in the hilarious, incredibly moving memoir from much loved comedian, writer and presenter Sue Perkins, star of Mel Sue and The Great British Bake Off Very funny. Reading her memoir is very like meeting her Sunday Times Tight bright full of inspiration Chris Evans, Radio 2 When I began writing this book, I went home to see if my mum had kept some of my stuff. What I found was that she hadn t kept some of it. She had kept all of it - every bus ticket, postcard, school report - from the moment I was born to the moment I finally had the confidence to turn round and say Why is our house full of this shit? Sadly, a recycling incident destroyed the bulk of this archive.This has meant two things: firstly, Dear Reader, you will never get to see countless drawings of wizards, read a poem about corn on the cob, or marvel at the kilos of brown flowers I so lovingly pressed as a child. Secondly, it s left me with no choice but to actually write this thing myself.This, my first ever book, will answer questions such as Is Mary Berry real? , Is it true you wear a surgical truss? and Is a non-spherically symmetric gravitational pull from outside the observable universe responsible for some of the observed motion of large objects such as galactic clusters in the universe? Most of this book is true. I have, of course, amplified my more positive characteristics in an effort to make you like me.Thank you for reading.Praise for Spectacles Drama, tears and laughs - Spectacles has got it all.

The long-awaited monograph of the UK s leading graphic design and branding agency.The world is full of design companies, but none of them are like North. Formed in 1995 by Sean Perkins, the studio has always followed a highly individualistic path. This individualism manifests itself in many ways: most notably in the absence of a densely populated studio website; there are no hyperactive social media feeds; even the studio s name, derived from Perkins origins in the unmetropolitan north of England, stands for frill-free, plain speaking, visual directness. It s almost as if North is a well-kept secret. Yet the group has a devoted worldwide following, and attracts myriad clients keen to hire them for their ability to produce memorable and carefully engineered visual identities.North s work is the product of sharp-brained research, high-end craft and precise visual expression. And as can be seen in the pages of this book, the studio s first monograph, the result is a rich crop of brand identities, packaging, exhibitions, books, posters and logos. It includes work for Tate, Southbank, Munch (Oslo), Co-op, Barbican, Samsung, Meta, Science Museum, The Royal Mint and M+ (Hong Kong). On the grounds that graphic design is required to speak for itself , the book dispenses with descriptive or biographical texts. Instead, the reader is engaged by more than 300 pages of articulate and eloquent visual expression, arranged in a rigorously planned mix of photography, typography, layout and colour.Like North itself, the book is unlike other design books. That s what makes it a North book.

The sharp and surprising true story of a woman who finally sets out to understand her past, and the mother she had one day hoped to forget. Full of unexpected twists and unbelievable revelations, American Daughter is an immersive memoir that will have you on the edge of your seat to the very last page.For years, Stephanie Plymale, successful CEO and interior designer, kept her past a fiercely guarded secret. Only her husband knew that her childhood was fraught with every imaginable hardship: neglect, hunger, poverty, homelessness, truancy, foster homes, a harrowing lack of medical care, and worse. Stephanie, in turn, knew very little about the past of her mother, who was in and out of jails and psych wards for most of Stephanie s formative years. All this changed when a series of shocking revelations forced Stephanie to revisit her tortured past and revise the meaning of every aspect of her compromised childhood.American Daughter is the extraordinary true story of a young girl growing up on the wrong side of the American Dream. Stephanie has slept in blankets on the floor of crowded apartments, lived in the back seat of a car with her siblings, and spent decades looking over her shoulder at a mother who might just as easily hug or harm her. American Daughter is at once a moving account of a troubled mother-daughter relationship and a meditation on resilience, transcendence, and ultimately, redemption.

Spojené státy se stále ještě zcela nevzpamatovaly z následků první světové války a Velké hospodářské krize a na obzoru se již stahují mračna hrozby nové války, neboť fašismus nabírá na síle i v nejtemnějších zákoutích Ameriky. I Gotham se zmítá v hospodářsko-společenském chaosu, ke kterému ještě přispívá náhlý nárůst násilné kriminality. Policejní komisař Gordon má plné ruce práce s vlnou brutálních vražd čelných představitelů města. Do toho všeho se objevuje tajemný strážce Bat-Man, který komisaři nabízí pomocnou ruku. Veškeré důkazy v rámci vyšetřování vražd popírají logiku – všichni pachatelé totiž zemřeli na elektrickém křesle. Když se však Bat-Man ocitne tváří v tvář jedné z těchto hrůzných anomálií, stěží unikne se zdravou kůží – což vrhá stín pochybností na jeho schopnost přežít ve světě, který se kolem něj brutálně vyvíjí! Tato kniha přináší zajímavý pohled na slavného hrdinu v samých začátcích jeho kariéry, kdy se stále ještě učí nejen to, jak se vypořádat s pestrou škálou zločinců, ale také jak si vybírat spojence a komu důvěřovat, aby v pochmurném prostředí gothamského podsvětí vůbec přežil.

What would happen if society was run by women? Charlotte Perkins Gilman imagines the result...When three American men discover a community of women, living in perfect isolation in the Amazon, they decide there simply must be men somewhere. How could these women survive without man s knowledge, experience and strength, not to mention reproductive power? In fact, what they have found is a civilisation free from disease, poverty and the weight of tradition. All alone, the women have created a society of calm and prosperity, a feminist utopia that dares to threaten the very concept of male superiority. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY LINDY WEST

In 1887, following a severe nervous breakdown, Gilman had been sent to a leading neurologist, she explains in ⠘Why I Wrote The Yellow Wallpaper⠙, also included in this volume. He was a ⠘wise man⠙ who ⠘put me to bed and applied the rest cure⠦ and sent me home with solemn advice to ⠜live as domestic a life as far as possible⠝⠦ and ⠜never to touch pen, brush or pencil again⠝ as long as I lived. I went home and obeyed those directions for some three months, and came so near the borderline of utter mental ruin that I could see over.⠙ The Yellow Wallpaper is both a haunting illustration of the treatment of mental health and a chilling Gothic tale, and this new edition makes it ready to enchant another generation of readers.

Dvadsaťosemročná Stephanie Landová snívala o štúdiu na univerzite. Jej sen sa však rýchlo rozplynie, keď v lete zistí, že je tehotná. Krátko nato ju opustí otec dieťaťa a ona zostáva na všetko sama. Aby prežila a zabezpečila svojej dcérke najzákladnejšie potreby, musí vziať aj najpodradnejšiu prácu. Slúžka je emocionálne drsná, majstrovsky napísaná výpoveď o autentických rokoch, ktoré autorka prežila ako upratovačka v službách pre americkú vyššiu strednú vrstvu. Upratovačka v tomto zmysle znamenalo byť „neviditeľná ako duch“, byť tichým svedkom úspechov, tragédií a najhlbších tajomstiev svojich klientov, no súčasne byť prehliadaným, niekedy ponižovaným, no hlavne ignorovaným človekom. Pritom sa však snaží vyhrabať zo svojej sociálnej mizérie, bojovať o svoju ľudskosť a dostať sa na štúdium na vysokej škole. Je to dielo o tom, ako človek dokáže vďaka svojej nezdolnej húževnatosti prekonať príkoria života na potravinových lístkoch, podporných sociálnych programoch, ale prekonať aj odcudzenosť svojich najbližších. Nad všetko ostatné je príbeh Stephanie Landovej obrazom odvrátenej strany tzv. amerického sna, kde byť chudobným znamená byť poznačeným stigmou. Kniha bola podkladom úspešného seriálu spoločnosti Netflix, ktorý si pozrelo 67 miliónov domácností na celom svete.
