REFLECT invites you to read key moments of each woman’s life in the Bible and connect with her story.ĬONNECT asks you to consider how God in the Old Testament or Jesus in the New Testament responds to each woman and what this discloses about His character and how He responds to you. You’ll reflect on how God focused on their faith and trust-and how He is doing the same with you. This workbook is based on the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak. In these nine lessons, you will consider the parallels between the relationships, experiences, and challenges of women in the Bible as mothers and daughters and your own. They are often used to change the course of history, but more importantly, these female relationships and roles reveal a deeper depth of God’s love for and faithfulness to each of us. God uses mothers and daughters in critical roles throughout the Old and New Testaments. EXPLORE THE INTIMATE CONNECTION BETWEEN FAITH AND FAMILY

Kept naked at his strange, mirrored mansion, Emma is teased and tortured nightly, her master denying her release and spanking her at his leisure. Now she must begin a whole new life of submission to her new master, giving herself body and soul without reservation…or suffer the punishment for her disobedience. So when Aiden James calls her out of the crowd, picking her over every other single female in the supernatural community, Emma doesn’t know what to think. Not that she would want to be – what girl in her right mind would volunteer to be a sex slave for a year, giving up the rights to her own body and sexuality to a dominating male who likes to bite? Not Emma, that’s for sure. So she figures there’s no way she’ll be chosen as the Bloodlust Sacrifice for the new vampire Sovereign. Not only that, but she’s full figured instead of thin, like her gorgeous, talented cousins, and has dishwater brown hair and muddy hazel eyes to match. A witch without power meets a vampire lord with a taste for domination….Įmma Krist is a dud – a person from a powerful line of witches with no magic of her own. Whenever they stopped, an excited Humboldt took out his telescope. For several days as they approached, the mountain stood out against the vibrant blue of the sky with no cloud smudging its imposing outline. Then Chimborazo appeared on the horizon, standing alone on a high plateau, like a majestic dome. Then, as the men slowly ascended, these voluptuous blooms were replaced by open grass plains where herds of small llama-like vicuñas grazed. In the valleys they admired daturas with their large trumpet-shaped orange blossoms and bright red fuchsias with their almost unreal-looking sculptural petals. This majestic inactive volcano – a ‘monstrous colossus’ as Humboldt described it – was about one hundred miles to the south-west of Quito and rose to almost 21,000 feet.7Īs Humboldt, Bonpland, Montúfar and José rode towards the volcano, they passed thick tropical vegetation. First, though, he was going to climb Chimborazo – the crown of his obsession. From Lima Humboldt hoped to find passage to Mexico, which he also wanted to explore. He still intended to travel to Lima, even though Captain Baudin wouldn’t be there. Five months after his arrival, Humboldt finally left Quito on 9 June 1802. It was touch and go whether he would ever walk again. Then, in a horrific free-fall parachuting accident in Africa, Bear broke his back in three places. On returning home, he embarked upon the notoriously gruelling selection course for the British Special Forces to join 21 SAS - a journey that was to push him to the very limits of physical and mental endurance. As a teenager, he found identity and purpose through both mountaineering and martial arts, which led the young adventurer to the foothills of the mighty Himalaya and a grandmaster's karate training camp in Japan. Inevitably, it wasn't long before Bear was leading out-of-bounds night-climbing missions at school. Growing up on the Isle of Wight, he was taught by his father to sail and climb at an early age. 409 pages, 24 unnumbered pages of plates : 24 cmīear Grylls is a man who has always sought the ultimate in adventure.

Not to make a point, nor as the central point, but just queer in a real way, in its bones. For fans of Kathe Koja, Clive Barker and Stephen Graham Jones. Three dark and disturbing horror stories from an astonishing new voice, including the viral-sensation tale of obsession, Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke. What I love about every book on this list is that it’s queer authentically. Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and Other Misfortunes is a collection by Eric LaRocca. While it isn’t a prerequisite to my reading and enjoying one, it is nice to be thought of and represented sometimes and not only find that representation in glum books about queer struggle. Healing Days is a book designed to be used in therapy for kids ages 6-11 and functions as an excellent resource for those who have experienced physical or sexual abuse. I will rarely find, as a bisexual woman, a well-written genre novel that understands, explores and revels in the nuances of queer characters and queer culture. One of the Achilles heels of most genre novels in general, though? An unquestioned heteronormativity. The definitive lines of the genre novel are relaxing, a delight to tuck into whether they play into the set formats or subvert them with deftness. terrifying of all is a sense of deep grief that stalks the pages like a predatory beast. What a treat it is to settle into the comfort of the tropes and structures of a genre you love the whirlwind of romances, the pace of a thriller, the intrigue of a mystery.
