What would cause an eighteen-year-old senior class president and
home-coming queen from Nashville, Tennessee, to disobey and
disappoint her parents by forgoing college, break her little
brother's heart, lose all but a handful of her friends (because
they think she has gone off the deep end), and break up with the
love of her life, all so she could move to Uganda, where she knew
only one person and didn't even speak the language? A passion to
follow Jesus. Katie Davis left over Christmas break of her senior
year for a short mission trip to Uganda and her life was turned
completely inside out. She found herself so moved by the people of
Uganda and the needs she saw that she knew her calling was to
return and care for them. Katie, a charismatic and articulate young
woman, is in the process of adopting thirteen children in Uganda
and has established a ministry, Amazima, that feeds and sends
hundreds more to school while teaching them the Word of Jesus
Christ. Kisses from Katie invites readers on a journey of radical
love down the red dirt roads of Uganda. You'll laugh and cry with
Katie as she follows Jesus into the impossible and finds joy and
beauty beneath the dust. Katie and her children delight in saying
yes to the people God places in front of them and challenge readers
to do the same, changing the world one person at a time. Content

Young people today face unprecedented pressures and temptations.
Statistics related to suicide have hit an all-time high. To say that
many teenagers and young adults are in crisis is not an understatement.
They are exposed to influences that try to make death seem intriguing
and appealing. Sadie Robertson sees and understands that this is
happening and has written Live to illustrate clearly God's alternative.
Where the world offers death in the form of hopelessness, negativity,
loneliness, rejection, and other experiences, Jesus offers abundant
life.
Robertson has a keen understanding of the issues facing young people
today and knows that many are desperate for hope that they can live
with strength, confidence, conviction, and vibrant commitment to God.
The world entices daily with choices that lead to misery. Readers need
to know that it's possible to resist the draw of the world and follow
God into a life of fulfillment and adventure.
The book includes material on overcoming jealousy, finding confidence,
dealing with haters, waiting on God, living in victory instead of
defeat, discovering the power of words, and knowing how to tell the
difference between what leads to life and what leads to death-so young
people can make the best choices.
With a social media audience of more than 6 million, Robertson has
become the leading voice of hope, courage, and truth for her
generation. In Live, she reminds readers that there's a big difference
between being alive and knowing how to truly live. To be alive is
something that happens to you. But to truly live is something you get
to choose each day. As Robertson says, "When you truly learn to live
the life God offers, your whole existence becomes a verb."
Including full-color photography and high design, Live shows teens and
young adults through story and biblical truths how to enjoy a rich and
rewarding life by choosing God's way over the world's influence.
Moments of decision greet everyone. Some of those decisions are minor
and others are life altering, but all serve as stepping stones to
peace, joy, and fullness or to disappointment and emptiness. Robertson
is passionate about inspiring a generation to live with bold confidence
and faith every day.
Live releases in conjunction with Robertson's 16-city speaking tour. As
a speaker, influencer, and media personality, Robertson has enjoyed
sold-out events across the country on previous tours. A popular blogger
at LiveOriginal.com, the founder of a line of creative clothing, and a
tireless advocate for underprivileged youth, Robertson is known for
living out her message with passion and joy. Her remarkable ability to
relate to her peers encourages them to view her as a role model, and
her call for them to live uncompromised godly lives has gained her the
respect of parents, pastors, and ministry leaders much older than she
is.
This landmark new text charts the latest developments in economic
research relevant to farm animal welfare. A range of global experts
and key opinion leaders outline the challenges in achieving
sustainable livestock production while improving farm profit,
climate change and animal welfare, and make policy-relevant
recommendations for the future. This is a theoretical yet practical
book that examines: - the origins of farm animal welfare,
cross-disciplinary interactions and the future of the field; -
consumer demand and changing preferences as animal welfare rises up
the social agenda; - the impact political organisations such as the
EU and WTO have on animal welfare. An important resource for policy
makers and animal welfare scientists, economists and clinicians,
this book provides a thought-provoking yet evidence-based review
for all those interested in quantifying and improving farm animal
welfare.
Sadie Robertson, bestselling author of Live Original
and star of Dancing with the Stars, has built her
brand on a simple but powerful message for teen
girls: be who God created you to be and have fun
doing it! Live Fearless: A Call to Power, Passion, and
Purpose takes this anthem to the next level by
empowering readers to reject fear and live a joy-
filled life with passion and purpose.
Despite being more connected than any prior generation via
technology and social media, today's young people often
feel more isolated and anxious than ever before. As they
come of age in an uncertain world full of scary headlines and
mixed messages, Sadie's story of overcoming fear and
anxiety offers hope. Through personal stories, practical
insights, and creative solutions, Sadie marks a path toward
freedom from fear, anxiety, and comparison.
Written for teens by a teenager who has trekked through
these relatable struggles, Live Fearless shows readers how
God's plans begin with freedom and only get better from
there. Sadie equips young people to walk a very personal
and powerful journey with God, to learn to answer life's
questions with faith instead of fear, to live without
limitations, and to relinquish the effort it takes to try to
control the world around them. This timeless and crucial
message benefits from Sadie's fresh, vibrant delivery, and
young people will be drawn to her authenticity and
relatability throughout the book.

"Peculiarly Yours" is an adventurous, humorous history, punctuated
with the dynamics of family relationships, school experiences,
vacations and entry into early adulthood, employment and marriage.
Placed in the setting of a small upper Midwestern town, the
author's life is touched both by elements of sweeping
proportion-the Great Depression and World II-as well as family,
faith, and the challenges of childhood and adolescence in a
religiously strict home environment.
"Peculiarly Yours" will invite you into some of the innermost
rooms of the soul as the author writes of internal conflicts, loss,
and faith in the midst of troubling times and parental efforts to
shape identity and character. This is a fast-paced personal history
of life, death, comical mishaps, romance and maturation sketched
against the backdrop of the 1930s and 1940s on the northern
plains.
This textbook is designed for English-speaking students wishing
to acquire a basic working ability in conversational Vietnamese.
The twenty lessons in this volume are centered around short
conversations based on common topics--introductions, friends and
family members, work--as well as other everyday situations. Each
set of conversations builds on previously studied material and
introduces new sentence structures.
Spoken Vietnamese for Beginners also contains exercise sections
that allow students to practice new and old vocabulary. Every fifth
lesson in the book reviews previously covered material with written
exercises, narrative readings, and suggested conversations so
students can practice the Vietnamese they have learned. Self-tests
are also included so students can individually review their
understanding of the language.
The conversations and exercises in this textbook will be made
available online as audio files. The book and accompanying
audio--an integral component to Spoken Vietnamese for
Beginners--can be used either with a teacher or for self-study.
Language professors and their students--or those learning
Vietnamese on their own--will appreciate the accessible approach
and manageable size of this very practical textbook.
