Описание: Based on unproduced episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, this new novel features Asajj Ventress, former Sith apprentice turned bounty hunter and one of the great antiheroes in the Star Wars galaxy. The only way to bring down the Sith's most dangerous warrior may be to join forces with the dark side. In the war for control of the galaxy between the armies of the dark side and the Republic, former Jedi Master turned ruthless Sith Lord Count Dooku has grown ever more brutal in his tactics. Despite the powers of the Jedi and the military prowess of their clone army, the sheer number of fatalities is taking a terrible toll. And when Dooku orders the massacre of a flotilla of helpless refugees, the Jedi Council feels it has no choice but to take drastic action: targeting the man responsible for so many war atrocities, Count Dooku himself. But the ever-elusive Dooku is dangerous prey for even the most skilled hunter. So the Council makes the bold decision to bring both sides of the Force's power to bear--pairing brash Jedi Knight Quinlan Vos with infamous one-time Sith acolyte Asajj Ventress. Though Jedi distrust for the cunning killer who once served at Dooku's side still runs deep, Ventress's hatred for her former master runs deeper. She's more than willing to lend her copious talents as a bounty hunter--and assassin--to Vos's quest. Together, Ventress and Vos are the best hope for eliminating Dooku--as long as the emerging feelings between them don't compromise their mission. But Ventress is determined to have her retribution and at last let go of her dark Sith past. Balancing the complicated emotions she feels for Vos with the fury of her warrior's spirit, she resolves to claim victory on all fronts--a vow that will be mercilessly tested by her deadly enemy . . . and her own doubt. Praise for Dark Disciple "Reading Dark Disciple really feels like you're watching some of the best episodes of The Clone Wars."--EUCantina "Emotionally charged . . . Christie Golden does a wonderful job of capturing the characters."--Roqoo Depot "A cool inclusion into the Star Wars mythos . . . Ventress and Vos have a cool and compelling dynamic, and are used to explore more of what it means to flirt with the Dark Side of the Force."--IGN " The Clone Wars have been] a huge part of the Star Wars brand for years, and Christie] Golden manages to craft a story worthy of the themes and characters that fans have come to relate to. . . . She] uses this opportunity to craft Dark Disciple into a spy/espionage thriller."--Tech Times "Golden especially excelled at bringing Ventress's biting but appealing personality to life. . . . She's very much a woman trying to find her way, and Dark Disciple adds nuance."--Nerdist "Smart, captivating, and unforgettable . . . among the finest in Star Wars storytelling."--Coffee with Kenobi

Описание: A fresh and visually breathtaking new look at the art of the late Stuart period in Britain (1660-1714) From the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 to the death of Queen Anne in 1714, the late Stuart period was a time of change for Britain. This book, which accompanies a major exhibition at Tate Britain, London, explores how art and architecture was used by the crown, the church, and the aristocracy to project images of power and status in an age when the power of the monarchy was being questioned. Including the work of the leading painters of the day--including Peter Lely, Godfrey Kneller, and James Thornhill--it celebrates ambitious grand-scale portraits, the persuasive illusion of mural painting, the brilliant woodcarving of Grinling Gibbons, and magnificent architecture by Christopher Wren, Nicholas Hawksmoor, and John Vanbrugh for St Paul's Cathedral, Hampton Court and Blenheim Palace--the great buildings of the age. Here is the opportunity to encounter a rich, sophisticated, but largely forgotten era of art history.

Описание: An earnestly honest guy who doesn't even grant pipe dreams to himself, physiologically incapable of letting a single contradiction go, in other words me, got dragged this June to a renowned academy for rich girls, no questions allowed, by the world's strongest contractor. No matter how you put it, no matter how you spin it, there was probably no point to it. Because the case that arose there was, in and of itself, a bit of nonsense.

Описание: This is a book for people who want to disciple others but may not feel qualified because they are struggling with their own issues. All of us are struggling with something; still, each person has something special to contribute to another. I hope to set before you a road that Christ wants you to walk, with him walking at your side. I hope to inspire you to help others enter into a closer communion with Christ and into a richer experience of joy, peace, and purpose. This is not meant to be a manual on disciple-making. This is more a book of inspiration, a clear biblical perspective of what kind of person you should be trying to develop, along with disciple-making principles to help you succeed in this marvelous adventure. Interspersed with the principles, are practical tips for bringing you and others to a greater maturity. A central point of the book is the need to fulfill the Great Commission that Christ left for his new followers and for all future generations. People have changed over the years. If we want to be effective, certain established patterns of discipleship and disciple-making must change. Bill Tell, Senior Vice President, Chief of Staff, The Navigators says, "Most discipleship programs today are just that, programs. Jack Blanch in this wonderful book on discipling others takes us in a refreshingly different direction, a direction that is not just theory, but is the result of helping men grow in their relationship with God for over fifty years. This book has the fingerprints of experience on every page. Jack knows better than anyone I have ever met that discipling another man or woman is not a matter of passing on a curriculum or downloading information. It's not giving someone a new philosophy of life or a new set of rules and duties to keep. Investing in the life of another is not passing on a series of pod casts and videos. Discipling another individual to fall in love with Jesus and to trust God starts with the life of the person doing the discipling; it starts with their walk with God. Investing in others is all about relationship, people on a journey of living life together through the good and the bad. Jack helps us understand that if we are going to disciple another person life-on-life, it won't happen in a church classroom, at the local coffee shop, in an office, or by appointment. It happens in all the places where real life happens, at a soccer game on a cold day, rescuing someone from a broken down car at the most inconvenient time, in an anger filled living room where divorce is the topic.Disciple Making for a New Generation doesn't try to improve our techniques or skills so that we can get "our disciple" to do the right things. Being a disciple is not about doing the right things, but about being the person God created us to be when he planted a new nature in us. And so rather than a list of things we want the disciple to do, we are challenged to think about developing areas like faith, hope, love and holiness, areas that don't develop as the result of information and study, but grow as a result of an intimate love relationship with God. Fifty years of discipling men around the world has allowed Jack to fill this book with countless stories and illustrations, of real people with the woundedness and brokenness that comes from living in the real world. To read this book is like spending time with a personal mentor, one with whom you cannot get enough time. By the time you have finished the last chapter, you have walked with Jack through fifty years of ministry and will have a new paradigm of what it means to make disciples. You will have a glimpse of what it might look like to impart our very lives to the next generation."

Christian growth is a deeply personal and spiritual choice that recognizes our unending need for Jesus not only as Savior but also as LORD over our lives. That recognition sometimes comes after losing the things that seemed to matter most and humbly acknowledging before God that we need a new life and not just a better version of the old life, which produced little of lasting value. Discipleship is not and never can be a self-improvement program, because self is actually a big part of the problem. Transforming our lives is not something we can do; because even on our best days, our sin nature opposes such transformation. As the Apostle Paul said, "For the good that I wish, I do not do; but I practice the very evil that I do not wish" (Rom. 7: 19). Our only hope for real change resides in Jesus' assurance that "what is impossible for man is possible for God." Becoming a Disciple of Jesus provides a year in Christian growth composed of fifty-two weekly lessons that develop both our vertical relationship with God and our horizontal relationships with others through the works of faith which God has prepared for us. Each work of faith is accomplished by our belief in the Holy Spirit's ability to transform us into instruments of God's peace and love. Over time, this truth becomes both our heart's desire and a glorious reward as we gain freedom from the negative thought patterns and behaviors that previously governed our lives. Paradoxically, admitting the things we struggled with to God unleashes His healing presence at a deep heart level. As beings created in His image, we all resemble partially completed sculptures. God, the Master Sculptor, removes our undesirable traits so we can become complete as the persons He made us to be, able to use our God-given gifts to glorify Him as shining examples of His love.
On the scale of stranger to bromance, where do your friendships land?
As guys, we tend to get a bum rap when it comes to our ability to relate to other men. We talk work, sports, and buffalo wings, but struggle to move into meaningful conversation with our friends.
Justin Erickson has identified seven important relationships every man needs to thrive and grow as a Christian. Based on the biblical role models of men like David, Paul, and Timothy, these are the friendships that ultimately make you the man that God has called you to be. Delve deeper into the life lessons offered by friendships found in the Bible, and find the kind of men who can enrich your life in a multitude of ways.
God made you to be relational. Stop settling for surface-level friendships, and learn to build life-changing relationships that last.

When author Frank Strobel returned from Vietnam, he felt as if he had used up a great deal of his personal "life force" during that year. He worked very hard that year-physically, mentally, and emotionally-and experienced almost every feeling known to man at a very high intensity. The Devil's Disciple: Different Sides of War presents a compilation of his experiences in Vietnam, exploring this intensity and recalling the speed with which events moved during his time there. Strobel's missions during wartime were not for the faint of heart
His experiences helped him to understand that war has an impact beyond just the fighting involved. There are people, young and old, affected by war. They lived in the villages that he visited as part of his tour of duty. In some of his experiences, he talks about the children he met in the villages of Vietnam and their love for American bubble gum. Using hand signals and an occasional interpreter, he was able to communicate with some of the children and older people in the villages, learning about them and about their lives.
In The Devil's Disciple, Strobel shares his personal experiences during one of the most challenging wars the United States has fought.
