Описание: Why must we endure times of waiting? In the night, we wait for the morning. In loneliness, toil, or sickness, we wait for relief. Jesuss forty-day fast was a time of waiting, and in that time, He became vulnerable and needy just like we are. God became a person for a reason, so we can imitate and learn to be like Him - not as clones, but as beloved daughters and sons. As we fast during Lent, 40 Days with Jesus takes us on a daily imaginative journey through our fasting wilderness of Lent and leads us back home to resurrection life. 40 Days with Jesus is perfect for individual meditations or group discussions. The reflection questions that follow each daily devotional help to link spiritual mysteries to ordinary living. 40 Days with Jesus is the perfect companion for the Lenten fast, for any Christian tradition, and helps a reader better understand personal suffering and the many theodicies in life. After experiencing the 40 Days with Jesus, a reader will find strength and grow in appreciation for the rewards that follow a season of waiting on God.

Описание: The end of a dynasty

It is likely that few of those who contributed to the outbreak of the First World War would have imagined its consequences or predicted which nations would prevail, which would fall in defeat and which would all but cease to exist. Very few would have foreseen the fall of so many of the royal houses of Europe and yet this came to pass; most prominent among them were the Romanovs of Russia. It was almost inconceivable that the Tsar, who ruled over a vast territory and many millions of subjects, would be murdered (or executed, according to one's sensibility) with all of his immediate family such a short time from when the power and influence of the Romanovs had seemed immutable. But this was an age of global warfare on an industrial scale, and of revolution and political change that would affect the nature of war and peace for a century to come. This highly regarded book considers in detail the downfall of the Russian Imperial family, and the authors have drawn upon eyewitness testimony of those who were close to these historic events. The narrative follows the Romanovs to their deaths, ordered by Lenin, in a Yekaterinburg cellar, so preventing the Tsar becoming a figure for the White Russians to rally around. An essential and recommended work for any student of the fall of monarchy, Russian involvement in the Great War and the rise of Bolshevism.
