Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Succinct and highly practical, Beside Still Waters is devoted to solutions to the common obstacles of a successful and authentic pastoral ministry. The contributors use the 23rd Psalm to provide the context for discussion of a variety of the most critical pressure points that can disable a healthy ministry. The book culminates in a final chapter, which addresses the task of preaching as pastoral care, which is most genuine when it emerges out of a keen awareness of good boundaries that protect the spiritual life of both pastor and parish. An annotated list of further readings is given for each area of discussion. The authors have among themselves more than two hundred years of pastoral experience and have been on the front lines of the Pastoral Institute's national ministry to clergy in crisis. They include Greek Orthodox, Methodist, Presbyterian, Southern Baptist ministers and pastoral counselors. They draw on both pastoral and clinical experiences to address the common and frequently overlooked areas of difficulty in ministry.

La sua salvatrice, Annie Wilkes, è un'ex infermiera professionista che lo ha portato a casa propria per curarlo di persona. Per fortuna, Annie è la fan numero uno di Paul ed attende impazientemente nuove pubblicazioni della sua serie preferita.

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. Second printing [stated]. xii, 559, [5] pages. Includes Illustrations. Afterword, Acknowledgments, Sources and Notes, and Index. Daniel Mark Epstein (born October 25, 1948) is an American poet, dramatist, and biographer. His poetry has been noted for its erotic and spiritual lyricism, as well as its power-in several dramatic monologues-in capturing crucial moments of American history. While he has continued to publish poetry he is more widely known for his biographies of Nat King Cole, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Bob Dylan and Abraham Lincoln, and his radio plays, "Star of Wonder," and "The Two Menorahs," which have become holiday mainstays on National Public Radio. The Lincolns: Portrait of a Marriage (2008) was named one of the ten best books of the year by the Chicago Sun Times and the Wall Street Journal, whose reviewer remarked it "may be the best Lincoln book in a generation." The Lincolns' ascent to the White House brought both dazzling power and the slow, secret unraveling of the couple's unique bond. The Lincolns' ascent to the White House brought both dazzling power and the slow, secret unraveling of the couple's unique bond. After the death of their little boy, not a year after Lincoln took office, Mary turned for solace to spirit mediums, but her grief drove her to the edge of madness. In the end, there was little left of the Lincolns' relationship but their enduring devotion to each other and to their surviving children.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Hardcover, viii + 178 pages, outline chronologies & select bibliography & index, NOT ex-library. An attractive copy with clean pages, unmarked text, firm binding. A barcode sticker inside rear board. Boards show signs of regular shelfwear, a small gentle indentation to the upper front edge, short creases to spine ends. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The defeat of King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 remains one of the major landmarks in English history, heralding the establishment of the line of Norman kings and their Angevin successors that ruled the country for centuries to come. The pattern of conquest and settlement in England is well charted, but the Norman impact in Wales, Ireland and Scotland has generally been analyzed within the limits of national history alone. In this overview of the Anglo-Norman period, David Walker examines Norman influences in all parts of the British Isles as a unified theme. The book opens with an explanation of the background to events in 1066, and discusses the successful military campaigns of William the Conqueror and his heirs in subduing Anglo-Saxon England and establishing political legitimacy and loyalty in the conquered realm. The author shows, however, that the experience of England cannot be seen as the model for the rest of the British Isles. England was a defeated country which the Normans could exploit at will, but in Wales and Ireland they were denied conquest on that scale and their tenure was frequently challenged. In Scotland the Anglo-Normans were the allies of the ruling dynasty, dependent upon patronage, not on force of arms. In each of these areas, the nature of Norman involvement was determined by the interplay between the political interest of the newcomers and the particular responses of the region. The diversity of the Norman impact is explored in all its aspects, from the government of Church and state, and society at large, to military and ecclesiastical architecture. This book should be useful for students interested in the complex nature of Norman conquest and settlement in the British Isles. -- Contents: 1. The Norman Impact 2. The Conquest of England 3. The Resistance of the Welsh 4. The Scottish Alliance 5. The Irish Intransigence 6. Architecture: Military and Ecclesiastical.…
