No Crowns in the Castle: Building a Strong Relationship and a Harmonious Life
by Fantasia Taylor Kendall TaylorA Grammy Award-winning singer and her husband share what a Godly marriage looks like and encourage readers with faith-forward and Biblical relationship advice. Fantasia Taylor—American Idol, Grammy-winning vocalist, and chart-topping singer—and her husband businessman Kendall Taylor were both successful and living in their purpose when they met and married three weeks later. Their marriage has had its ups and downs, but the one thing that has sustained them through all of it is the practice of taking off their crowns—the accolades, their egos, the things the world tells you matter—and serving each other within the home. It doesn&’t matter who you are in the world—you need to humble yourself and serve your partner in order to put your marriage, your family, and your faith first. Seven years later, after facing a host of real-world challenges—from marital stress to professional and financial pressures, to their high-risk pregnancy and the premature birth of their daughter—Fantasia and Kendall&’s marriage has become a beacon of hope and love as they have opened up about their lives in their weekly &‘Taylor Talks&’ broadcast. Now, in their first book together, Fantasia and Kendall dish about their shared experiences and struggles, opening up about the challenges and triumphs they&’ve faced together and how they have come out stronger for them. They also share stories about how they've made their relationship work against all odds and why they try to always treat each other like royalty. In their trademark no-nonsense, real-talk style, they discuss topics that affect all relationships, including the importance of submitting to one another, handling conflict, clearing the lines of communication, keeping the romance alive, navigating the challenges of blended family, and how to maintain healthy relationships when you haven&’t seen them modeled before. Insightful, wise, and grounded in faith, Fantasia and Kendall&’s story offers hope and encouragement and gives straight-up advice about making your relationships last.

No Cure for Being Human: (And Other Truths I Need to Hear)
by Kate BowlerIt’s hard to give up on the feeling that the life you really want is just out of reach. A beach body by summer. A trip to Disneyland around the corner. A promotion on the horizon. Everyone wants to believe that they are headed toward good, better, best. But what happens when the life you hoped for is put on hold indefinitely? <p><p> Kate Bowler believed that life was a series of unlimited choices, until she discovered, at age 35, that her body was wracked with cancer. In No Cure for Being Human, she searches for a way forward as she mines the wisdom (and absurdity) of today’s “best life now” advice industry, which insists on exhausting positivity and on trying to convince us that we can out-eat, out-learn, and out-perform our humanness. <p><p> We are, she finds, as fragile as the day we were born. With dry wit and unflinching honesty, Kate Bowler grapples with her diagnosis, her ambition, and her faith as she tries to come to terms with her limitations in a culture that says anything is possible. She finds that we need one another if we’re going to tell the truth: Life is beautiful and terrible, full of hope and despair and everything in between—and there’s no cure for being human.
No Darker Rooms
by A. Morgan DerhamThis story is the outcome of the author&’s enthusiasm for a great English Puritan scholar, author and theologian, an outstanding man of Cromwell&’s day, Richard Baxter.Ordained in 1683, Baxter became minister at Kidderminster in 1641, the scene of the action in this book. Mr. Baxter was Chaplain to Cromwell&’s army for two years. He also learned what suffering and persecution meant and was imprisoned for eighteen months at one time, without succumbing to panthophobia. Many are the Christians who have been blessed and sustained by his Saints&’ Everlasting Rest; also convicted by his Call to the Unconverted. This is reading based squarely on historical personages and facts. Its main theme—Baxter&’s falling in love and marriage—is fact. Parts of his famous addresses are quoted.The author&’s personal research on the subject, subsequent to the writing of the manuscript and in preparation for some lecture work, confirmed that many of the incidents related, as well as the main theme, have factual basis. The attempted murder in the churchyard, for instance, was paralleled by a similar deed committed by a drunkard who had been subjected to certain church discipline.Those who appreciate &“meat&” with their &“cake&” in their fictional repast will find this a book to their liking, and so we shall leave it to speak for itself! You might wish to tell the publishers how you like it; if so, do it by all means.

No debería ser así: Saca fuerzas cuando te sientas vencida
by Lisa Terkeurst¿Qué hacer cuando el tiempo de Dios parece ser cuestionable, su falta de intervención te lastima y sus promesas son inciertas? La vida a menudo se presenta muy diferente a lo que habíamos esperado o soñado. Algunos acontecimientos nos toman con la guardia baja por solo un momento, pero otros nos sacuden por completo. Nos sentimos desilusionadas o decepcionadas y, en silencio, comenzamos a preguntarnos acerca de la veracidad de la bondad de Dios. Lysa TerKeurst lo sabe. Pero también descubrió que nuestras desilusiones pueden ser instancias divinas que nuestra alma necesita para tener un encuentro radical con Dios. En No debería ser así, Lysa nos invita a recorrer su camino de fe y, con astucia, vulnerabilidad y humor, nos ayuda a ver nuestra vida en el contexto de la historia mayor de Dios. Ya sea que estemos lidiando con desilusiones de la vida cotidiana o con una pérdida que alteró toda nuestra existencia, podemos hallar una fuerza inesperada al aprender lo que significa debatirnos entre nuestra fe y nuestros sentimientos. #Lysa confronta con una vulnerabilidad asombrosa diferencias, a menudo brutales, entre la vida que tenemos y la que esperamos tener. [#], permite que este libro te dirija al plan de Dios, a una manera completamente nueva de ser humano. No querrás recuperar tu vieja vida: hay algo mucho mejor que eso#. #LEVI LUSKO, pastor de Fresh Life Church; autor de los libros Swipe Right y A través de los ojos del león.

No Easy Fix: The Sixties and the United Church of Canada (Studies in Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict #6)
by Kevin N. FlattThe UN has adopted a "responsibility to protect" mandate for humanitarian intervention in civil wars - but there is no institutional basis for carrying out that mandate. Patricia Marchak argues that unless would-be interveners have an understanding of local issues, agents who speak local languages, and a military force fully prepared to undertake both peaceful and military missions on short notice, UN and other attempts to intervene are unlikely to succeed. While UN-sponsored international criminal courts have been successful in obliging leaders to accept responsibility for their actions during bitter internal wars, Marchak argues that they may not be the best means of bringing truth and reconciliation to survivors. Based on the principle of individual responsibility, they are not designed to deal with collective crimes against humanity and genocide, nor are they good instruments for dealing with the breakdown of societies. Bringing together her own field interviews, documentary material, and secondary sources, Marchak critically assesses the recent history of international interventions and criminal prosecutions. She examines three cases in detail: Cambodia, Rwanda, and the former Yugoslavia in its current forms of Bosnia and Serbia, considers their international context prior to and during internal wars, and argues that each case has to be understood in its own context and history - there is no common pattern and no easy fix that could mend broken societies after the wars. No Easy Fix is of interest to anyone concerned with how the international community deals with civil wars that involve serious crimes against humanity.

No es por vista: Solo La Fe Abre Tus Ojos
by Cash LunaEl fundamento de nuestra vida de fe son las promesas y enseñanzas que nuestro Padre nos comparte en su Palabra. Él quiere que caminemos por fe y no por vista porque nuestros sentidos pueden engañarnos. Cree en el Señor y declara sus bendiciones en tu vida, porque tienes sueños por lograr y milagros que testificar. ¡Vive por fe!Para caminar por fe se necesita valor y humildad porque debemos cerrar los ojos al pesimismo del mundo y dejarnos guiar por las promesas de bendición de nuestro Padre celestial.Vivir por fe, contrario a lo que algunos creen, es cuestión de mentes superiores con criterio para hablar y actuar conforme a lo que realmente es certero, la Palabra de Dios. Atrevámonos a desafiar nuestra fe en todo momento, ya que es la herramienta más poderosa y efectiva cuando necesitamos creer por el sustento diario y también cuando necesitamos creer por extraordinarios milagros de sanidad y provisión.¡Cree y declara que verás resultados sobrenaturales en tu vida! Avancemos por fe, no por vista, porque nuestros sentidos pueden engañarnos, pero el cuidado que Dios tiene por nosotros es eterno. Puedo afirmarlo por experiencia, porque lo he vivido una y otra vez. No se trata de asegurar con vehemencia que somos creyentes, sino realmente demostrarlo en cada paso, incluso en las situaciones que consideramos más sencillas y elementales, porque nuestra fe en Dios debe sustentarnos en todo. No es cuestión de religión sino de vida práctica, de abrir los ojos cada mañana y entregar a Dios todo lo que somos, lo que pensamos, decimos y hacemos, incluso lo que soñamos y, por supuesto, lo que anhelamos.Si activamos nuestra fe y nos esforzamos de la forma correcta, Él se encarga de nuestros resultados en todas las áreas: espiritual, emocional, física, relacional y financiera. Vivir conforme a la fe en Dios es sencillo y retador a la vez. Yo lo resumo en una frase: “Entrégate al Señor”, lo que implica muchas cosas, desde el conocimiento de Su Palabra, donde encontramos nuestra identidad y código de conducta, hasta nuestra actitud frente a cada situación, por grande o pequeña que parezca.Cuando me preguntan cómo ha sido posible levantar un ministerio como Casa de Dios, puedo afirmar que todo lo que se ha logrado es resultado de creerle al Señor, seguir Sus instrucciones y darle la honra por Su fidelidad. 35 años de caminar por fe me han dado la certeza para asegurar que Dios no busca personas perfectas sino con un corazón humilde, dispuestas a creerle. Si Él ha podido usarme para lograr lo que para algunos es imposible, te aseguro que también puede hacerlo contigo, porque yo solamente soy un hombre que ha decido caminar por la ruta que Él me indica.Si tienes sueños por cumplir, metas que alcanzar y proyectos que realizar, ¡vive por fe! Si eres de aquellos que se sienten bendecidos y cada día te levantas con el deseo de seguir adelante o si estás enfrentando una prueba difícil, te garantizo que, sin importar tu circunstancia, darás testimonio de una nueva etapa de milagros. ¡Vive por fe!

No Future Without Forgiveness
by Desmond TutuThe establishment of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission was a pioneering international event. Never had any country sought to move forward from despotism to democracy both by exposing the atrocities committed in the past and achieving reconciliation with its former oppressors. At the center of this unprecedented attempt at healing a nation has been Archbishop Desmond Tutu, whom President Nelson Mandela named as Chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. With the final report of the Commission just published, Archbishop Tutu offers his reflections on the profound wisdom he has gained by helping usher South Africa through this painful experience.In No Future Without Forgiveness, Tutu argues that true reconciliation cannot be achieved by denying the past. But nor is it easy to reconcile when a nation "looks the beast in the eye." Rather than repeat platitudes about forgiveness, he presents a bold spirituality that recognizes the horrors people can inflict upon one another, and yet retains a sense of idealism about reconciliation. With a clarity of pitch born out of decades of experience, Tutu shows readers how to move forward with honesty and compassion to build a newer and more humane world.From the Trade Paperback edition.
