![]() ![]() Fervent Anglophiles will be thrilled by this excellent rendition of a favorite Irons's reading saves this dinosaur from being suffocated by its own weight. Irons's portrayal of Ryder catapulted Irons to stardom, and in this superb reading his subtle, complete characterizations highlight Waugh's ear for the aristocratic mores of the time. Although Waugh was considered by many to be more successful as a comic than as a wistful commentator on human relationships and faith, this novel was made famous by a 1981 BBC TV dramatization. Ryder portrays a family divided by an uncertain investment in Roman Catholicism and by their confusion over where the elite fit in the modern world. Exhausted by the war, he takes refuge in recalling his time spent with the heirs to the estate before the war-years spent enthralled by the beautiful but dissolute Sebastian and later in a more conventional relationship with Sebastian's sister Julia. Charles Ryder finds himself stationed at Brideshead, the family seat of Lord and Lady Marchmain. Its 1943 and finding himself in familiar territory within the English countryside, Charles. In this classic tale of British life between the World Wars, Waugh parts company with the satire of his earlier works to examine affairs of the heart. A sparkling reimagining by acclaimed playwright Bryony Lavery. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Wolf 21 and Wolf 42 were attracted to each other the moment they met-but Wolf 42's jealous sister interfered viciously in their relationship. Leader of the Druid Peak Pack, Wolf 21 was known for his unwavering bravery, his unusual benevolence (unlike other alphas, he never killed defeated rival males), and his fierce commitment to his mate, the formidable Wolf 42. In this compelling follow-up to the national bestseller The Rise of Wolf 8, Rick McIntyre profiles one of Yellowstone's most revered alpha males, Wolf 21. This is the dramatic true story of its remarkable leader, Wolf 21-whose compassion and loyalty challenges commonly held beliefs about alpha males. The Druid Peak Pack was the most famous wolf pack in Yellowstone National Park, and maybe even in the world. ![]() "A redemption story, an adventure story, and perhaps above all, a love story." -Nate Blakeslee, New York Times -bestselling author of American Wolf ![]() ![]() Sultan Moulay Ismail appears almost like a pantomime emir, "wrapped in fabulous silks and damasks, with a voluminous silk turban, his waist-length cloak wrought all over with silver and gold and bright red riding boots." Taken to the enormous Moroccan imperial palace at Meknes, Pellow's first sight of the sultan was on a gilded chariot being drawn by a harnessed band of wives and eunuchs. The voyage was the beginning of 23 years' imprisonment at the hands of a savage despot. They had set sail from Cornwall en route to Genoa with a cargo of salted pilchards. The 11-year-old Pellow was unfortunate enough to be taken prisoner along with the rest of the five-man crew of the Francis in the summer of 1715. Two remarkable characters form the linchpins of this story: Pellow, a Cornish boy, and Sultan Moulay Ismail, the ruler to whom he was enslaved. The "Extraordinary Story of Thomas Pellow" is a lens through which the wider story of the relationship between the emerging European maritime powers and the long-established sultanates of Barbary is told. ![]() ![]() ![]() Jacket some very minor crimping to edges.

All the rumors you’ve heard about her state aren’t true. she spends her time reading, watching really bad zombie movies, pretending to write, hanging out with her husband and her Jack Russell Loki.

Due to this diagnosis, educating people on the varying degrees of blindness has become of passion of hers, right alongside writing, which she plans to do as long as she can. ![]() ![]() It was a life-changing decision but the author never regretted it.Īdditionally, as she matured, Rock realized that she did not have to sacrifice one for the sake of the other. She needed to pick a lane that she could dedicate her mind, soul, and body to if she wanted to succeed. Rock did not believe that it was possible to pursue both careers. ![]() It wasn’t until she got to college that it occurred to her that she would have to choose between the two.

Rock’s passion for writing was only rivaled by her love for the theater.

But she knew she had a unique set of stories she wanted to tell and that there were readers out there anxiously waiting for her to fill that particular gap in the publishing arena. She didn’t know for certain that she would pursue a field as niche in publishing as LGBT romance.

The author also frequently contributes articles to publications like the Huffington Post where she talks about LGBT-related matters. Rock is an American author that writes LGBT romance novels. ![]() ![]() Perhaps you have heard the phrase “Christless Christianity”? This is referring to the problem where the main focus of Christian preaching and teaching ends up about morality, good advice about life, or positive self-help/motivational principles. Perhaps you think there is a contradiction here? Wilberforce was concerned about the hypocritical behavior of Christians, so shouldn’t addressing behavior be number 1? inadequate conception of Christian behavior. inadequate appreciation of the Holy Spirit, and 3. Such as in one section where he outlines 3 ways that Christians have an inadequate conception of Christianity: 1. Wilberforce gets to the heart of the matter. Wilberforce does not mince words, and calls out the biblical illiteracy and behavioral hypocrisy he observed in so-called church people.
