Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is the classic story of a girl growing up in the deep South. Set in Mississippi at the height of the American Depression, this is the story of a family''s struggle to maintain their integrity, pride and independence against the forces of a cruelly racist society.''We have no choice of what colour we''re born or who our parents are or whether we''re rich or poor. What we do have is some choice over what we make of our lives once we''re here.''The Mississippi of the 1930s was a hard place for a black child to grow up in, but still Cassie didn''t understand why farming his own land meant so much to her father. During that year, though, when the night riders were carrying hatred and destruction among her people, she learned about the great differences that divided them, and when it was worth fighting for a principle even if it brought terrible hardships.Winner of the highly prestigious John Newbery Medal in the USA in 1977.

''A unique insight into human consciousness and its possibilities'' The Times''Incredible'' New Scientist''This book is important for everyone . . . I love this book'' Oprah WinfreyOn the morning of the 10th December 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven-year-old Harvard-trained brain scientist experienced a massive stroke when a blood vessel exploded in the left side of her brain. A neuroanatomist by profession, she observed her own mind completely deteriorate to the point that she lost the ability to walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life, all within the space of four hours. As the damaged left side of her brain - the rational, logical, detail and time-oriented side - swung in an out of function, Taylor alternated between two distinct and opposite realities: the euphoric Nirvana of the intuitive and emotional right brain, in which she felt a sense of complete well-being and peace; and the logical left brain, that realized Jill was having a stroke and enabled her to seek help before she was lost completely. In My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist''s Personal Journey, Taylor brings to light a new perspective on the brain and its capacity for recovery that she gained through the intimate experience of awakening her own injured mind. The journey to recovery took eight years for Jill to feel completely healed. Using her knowledge of how the brain works, her respect for the cells composing her human form, and an amazing mother, Taylor completely repaired her mind and recalibrated her understanding of the world according to the insight gained from her right brain that December morning.

In this warm, wise book, Prem Rawat teaches us how to turn down the noise to “hear ourselves”—to listen to the subtle song of peace that sings inside each of us.

He challenges us to embrace our thirst for peace and let go of expectations for how it should feel. With one straightforward yet deeply profound question, he helps us to focus—to be present: Am I conscious of where I am today and what I want to experience in this world?” If we allow ourselves to listen, what we hear is the extraordinary miracle of existence—an experience that transforms our relationship to life and everything in it. Packed with powerful insights and compelling stories, Hear Yourself introduces readers to an ancient line of practical wisdom that enlightens us to a simple way to listen. By doing so, Prem Rawat reveals, we can “profoundly change our understanding of ourselves, those around us, and our lives.”Â

"Depend upon it, God''s work done in God''s way will never lack God''s supplies." - Hudson Taylor"Hudson Taylor was ...one of the greatest missionaries of all time, and... one of the four or five most influential foreigners who came to China in the nineteenth century for any purpose..." - Kenneth Scott Latourette (Author, A History of the Expansion of Christianity)"No other missionary since the Apostle Paul has had a wider vision and has carried out a more systematized plan of evangelizing a broad geographical area than Hudson Taylor." - Ruth Tucker (author of From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya: A Biographical History of Christian Missions.)A single sentence in 1869 transformed Hudson Taylor''s life and consequently the lives of hundreds of people in England and thousands of Chinese converts. After his experience he exclaimed "Oh, Mr Judd, God has made me a new man! God has made me a new man!"Hudson Taylor''s spiritual secret was the realization of what it meant to be in union with Christ: daily, even hourly, resting in his presence provided seemingly inexhaustible joy, peace, and energy. These were obvious to those who observed him in his strenuous life of prodigious missionary work. His colleague Charles Judd recorded,"He was a joyous man now, a bright happy Christian. He had been a toiling, burdened one before, with latterly not much rest of soul. ... Whenever he spoke in meetings after that, a new power seemed to flow from him, and in the practical things of life, a new peace possessed him. Troubles did not worry him as before. He cast everything on God in a new way... Instead of working late at night, he began to go to bed earlier, rising at 5 A.M. to give time to Bible study and prayer.H. B. Macartney observes,"Here was the real thing ... a man almost sixty years of age, bearing tremendous burdens, yet absolutely calm and untroubled."His phenomenal energy is attested to by the growth of the China Inland Mission, which he founded. At the time of his death, it had 825 missionaries in over 300 mission stations spread over all eighteen provinces of China. Their converts accounted for a quarter of all Christians in China. Hudson Taylor never solicited funds, and he suffered from personal and family ill-health, as well as frequent violence towards Christians in China.While many other Christians, both famous and unknown, have discovered the secret of a changed life, this book is perhaps the best exposition of a life-changing Christian epiphany, and the resulting transformation. Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor, Hudson Taylor''s son and daughter-in-law, both of whom lived and worked with Hudson Taylor, have carefully pieced together the story from personal correspondence from and about Hudson Taylor. Numerous Christians, such as Jack Miller, founder of World Harvest Mission, continue to credit this book with transforming their lives far beyond what they had imagined possible. Hudson Taylor''s Spiritual Secret is essential reading for any Christian wishing to deepen their faith.About the Authors: Dr. Frederick Howard Taylor was Hudson Taylor''s son. He was a medical doctor as well as a missionary to China. His wife Geraldine Taylor (Mrs. Howard Taylor) was missionary, but she also had a love of writing, and wrote numerous biographies of missionaries, including one of "Borden of Yale."

A missing boy. A brilliant sister who never gave up. A case Dom can’t ignore. FBI Special Agent Dom Walker has worked cold cases before. But when Mila Pascale—the reclusive, razor-sharp researcher—uncovers a new lead in her brother’s seven-year disappearance, this one hits different. Officially, the trail went cold. Mila never stopped chasing it. Now, with analyst Lea Peck—sharp-tongued and sharper-minded—and forensic accountant and unshakable ally Owen Whyte by their side, Dom and Mila follow the thread west to the windswept silence of Wyoming’s open range. What they uncover isn’t just a forgotten case. It’s the edge of something far worse: a suspected trafficking ring hiding in plain sight, protected by silence, and buried beneath years of institutional failure. Some cases stay cold for a reason.

Hudební CD - Tato typická sběratelská edice obsahuje dvě z jeho nejlepších alb: King of the Blues a My Kind of Blues, obě původně vydána labelem Crown v roce 1960. Legendární BB King, všeobecně oslavovaný jako vládnoucí král blues, byl ve své době nejvíce napodobovaným bluesovými kytaristy a jeho hudební vliv po celém světě je nevyčíslitelný. BB technika byla klamně složitá; s jemnými filigrány jednotlivých strun přerušovaných hlasitými akordy, jemnými vibráty a ohnutými tóny. Technika rockové kytary je do značné míry odvozena od Kingovy hry. Tato typická sběratelská edice obsahuje dvě z jeho nejlepších alb: King of the Blues a My Kind of Blues, obě původně vydána labelem Crown v roce 1960.

A fascinating journey through Western art from the 1910s to the 1960s, charting how artists wrestled with the headlong changes of a turbulent and conflict-ridden world From the chaos of the First World War to the ravages of the Second, from the Great Depression to the rise of consumer culture, artists we call “modern” faced the challenge of responding imaginatively to utterly new circumstances of life.

The 1960s and 1970s were a pivotal period for Ford in Europe and, seen from a British perspective, were a time of experimentation and exploration. At the start of the 1960s Ford had models aimed at just two market sectors – small family saloons and large family saloons – but by the end of the 1970s they were represented in no fewer than five areas of the market with small hatchbacks, small saloons, medium saloons, sporty coupés and large saloons. And they had overtaken all rivals in Britain to be the best-selling manufacturer with (since 1967) the Cortina as the best-selling car. With over 270 photographs, this book details: the Ford company structure, businesses and key locations throughout the two decades; the factors influencing model design, engineering, styling and interior; specification and performance tables; market reception and sales; special editions, models produced overseas and conversions and finally, helpful buying advice for each model.

On the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, Peter Taylor tells for the first time the gripping story of Operation Chiffon, the top-secret intelligence operation that helped bring peace to Ireland.‘A gripping exploration of how MI5 and MI6 worked for a ceasefire with the IRA – and how one meeting changed everything’ Telegraph''An extraordinary story . . . A true tale of espionage'' The TimesApril 1998: the Good Friday Agreement is signed, ending decades of violence and bloodshed in Northern Ireland. The process of getting the IRA to end its so-called ‘armed struggle’ was always the prerequisite of the search for peace. It was Operation Chiffon that finally helped make it possible.Operation Chiffon takes us inside the top-secret intelligence operation whose roots go back to the bloodiest years of the conflict in the early 1970s, involving officers from MI6 and, later in the 1990s, MI5. The remarkable story, which has remained hidden for forty years, is now revealed by legendary BBC journalist Peter Taylor with unique access to the officers involved. Drawing on exclusive interviews and Taylor’s fifty years of covering the conflict, the book narrates in first-hand detail how those involved risked their careers – and their lives – to help secure the fragile peace that exists today.Taylor vividly brings this covert operation to life and in the process chronicles the history of Sinn Féin, rising from obscurity in the early days of the Troubles to becoming the largest political party in Ireland today. It is a story fraught with uncertainty and danger that, as Brexit risks destabilising what was achieved in the Good Friday Agreement twenty-five years ago, is more important than ever to remember.
