Dr. Peter Chesterfield is one of the Royal London Hospital's top
neurosurgeons. He is also a workaholic, ordered by his boss to take
a week off to attend a medical symposium at the luxurious Elysium
Grand on the island of Maui. While there, Peter pulls a woman with
a skull fracture from the water. Though he is able to revive her in
the ambulance, she eventually dies in his arms, leaving him with
only one clue to what happened to her: the word "honu."
Increasingly obsessed with discovering the cause of his patient's
death, Peter becomes entangled in an ongoing investigation of a
brazen luxury auto theft. He also becomes a source of deep
irritation to detective Lisa Kealoha, who has jurisdiction over the
case. But when the two join forces, they begin to uncover a
destructive plot that runs far deeper than either of them could
have imagined. And if they're not careful, they're both going to
end up dead. Award-winning author James R. Hannibal whisks you away
to the deadly beauty of Hawaii for a story of greed, violence, and
justice that will leave you breathless.
The decisive moments in life are those pivot points when we're
called on to push past our fears and act with strength. With How We
Learn to Be Brave, Bishop Mariann Budde teaches us to respond with
clarity and grace even in the toughest times. Being brave is not a
singular occurrence; it's a journey that we can choose to undertake
every day. Bishop Budde explores the full range of decisive
moments, from the most visible and dramatic (the decision to go),
to the internal and personal (the decision to stay), to brave
choices made with an eye toward the future (the decision to start),
those born of suffering (the decision to accept that which we did
not choose), and those that come unexpectedly (the decision to step
up to the plate). Drawing on examples ranging from Harry Potter to
the Gospel According to Luke, she seamlessly weaves together
personal experiences with stories from Scripture, history, and pop
culture to underscore both the universality of these moments and
the particular call each one of us must heed when they arrive. How
We Learn to Be Brave will provide much-needed fortitude and insight
to anyone searching for answers in uncertain times.

How do you live a full life? Perhaps the better question is, how do you
really live when life throws you sucker punches, when you face
obstacles that seem to snuff out your faith, when you lose something or
someone precious to you? In The Fight to Flourish, Jennie Lusko
encourages women to suit up and thrive, not just in the dailies of
monotony and routine but even in the most desolate of places. Using the
backdrop of her second-born daughter Lenya’s passing into heaven five
days before Christmas in 2012, Jennie invites readers to embrace
whatever destination they’ve landed. She teaches how, through the good
and the bad, they can learn to grow, be strong, draw near to God, and
be a blessing to others. It is in this sacred space of pain and promise
that women can begin to flourish.
'n Reis na innerlike vrede en wysheid - Hierdie 365 oordenkings verken elke aspek van die Gebed om kalmte en hoe jy dit daagliks op jou lewe kan toepas.
Ons lewe is gejaagd. Ons omstandighede – goed en sleg – stoot ons hiernatoe en daarnatoe. Ons voel asof gebeurtenisse buite ons beheer ons lewe bepaal. Ons smag na vrede, na ’n plek waar veiligheid en rus is. As antwoord op hierdie soeke na vrede herinner die geliefde predikant en skrywer Trevor Hudson lesers aan die beproefde wysheid in die alombekende Gebed om kalmte:
God, skenk my die gemoedskalmte, om die dinge te aanvaar wat ek nie kan verander nie, die moed om die dinge te verander wat ek kan, en die wysheid om te weet wat die verskil is.
Hierdie 365 oordenkings verken elke aspek van hierdie gebed en hoe jy dit daagliks op jou lewe kan toepas. Namate jy die Gebed om kalmte gebruik as gids om elke dag in vriendskap met jou Here en Skepper te lewe, sal God se geskenk van vrede jou lewe vul en deur jou vloei waar jy jou ook al bevind. Elke oordenking word afgesluit met ’n praktiese voorstel hoe jy hierdie gebed elke dag kan uitleef. Só sal jou lewe ál meer op God gefokus word, en sal jy die innerlike vrede ervaar waarna jou hart smag.
Trevor Hudson is ’n Metodistepredikant, en tans ook betrokke by The Institute for Creative Conversations by die Northfield Metodistekerk in Suid-Afrika.
