The new action-packed thriller from Richard & Judy and Zoe Ball
Book Club pick, TONY KENT.
Young detectives will never tire of this picture-search puzzle
book. Readers can pore over seventeen cleverly illustrated scenes
of events from the life of Jesus to find the answers to the
questions posed on each page. Some puzzles involve looking for
details of everyday life, others highlight things that happened in
the Bible stories, offering hours of entertainment to readers as
they search for the answers. With lots to find, this kind of
picture book is particularly great for visual learners, helping all
children gain key insights into the life of Jesus as they super
sleuth their way through the book.
Two renowned theologians open up the reality of God's glory in this
book, offering readers a dynamic foundation for glorifying God in
the twenty-first century. Drawing from Christian spirituality,
liturgy, poetry, hymns, iconography, seminal "glory" texts in the
Bible, the Nicene Creed, and theologians throughout the ages who
caught sight of the glory of God in diverse ways, this book
explores the immensely rich and generative soteriological theme of
glorification. It shows students how to integrate theology into the
life of faith and demonstrates how the practices of Christian
worship influence theological thinking. Metaphors, descriptions,
evocations, concepts, narratives, and more highlight the amazing,
abundant reality of glorification. This is the first book in the
Soteriology and Doxology series. These introductory textbooks cover
key topics in soteriology, providing substantive treatments of
doctrine while pointing to the setting of theology in doxology.
Series editors are Kent Eilers and Kyle C. Strobel.
As in the earlier editions, the emphasis is on the practical
fundamentals of orchestration. The Sixth Edition has been expanded
and revised to reflect new developments in instruments and
orchestral practice, and a new listening compact disc has been
added that contains selected examples of orchestration.

"Kent is a master at creating code that communicates well, is easy
to understand, and is a pleasure to read. Every chapter of this
book contains excellent explanations and insights into the smaller
but important decisions we continuously have to make when creating
quality code and classes." -Erich Gamma, IBM Distinguished Engineer
"Many teams have a master developer who makes a rapid stream of
good decisions all day long. Their code is easy to understand,
quick to modify, and feels safe and comfortable to work with. If
you ask how they thought to write something the way they did, they
always have a good reason. This book will help you become the
master developer on your team. The breadth and depth of topics will
engage veteran programmers, who will pick up new tricks and improve
on old habits, while the clarity makes it accessible to even novice
developers." -Russ Rufer, Silicon Valley Patterns Group "Many
people don't realize how readable code can be and how valuable that
readability is. Kent has taught me so much, I'm glad this book
gives everyone the chance to learn from him." -Martin Fowler, chief
scientist, ThoughtWorks "Code should be worth reading, not just by
the compiler, but by humans. Kent Beck distilled his experience
into a cohesive collection of implementation patterns. These
nuggets of advice will make your code truly worth reading." -Gregor
Hohpe, author of Enterprise Integration Patterns "In this book Kent
Beck shows how writing clear and readable code follows from the
application of simple principles. Implementation Patterns will help
developers write intention revealing code that is both easy to
understand and flexible towards future extensions. A must read for
developers who are serious about their code." -Sven Gorts
"Implementation Patterns bridges the gap between design and coding.
Beck introduces a new way of thinking about programming by basing
his discussion on values and principles." -Diomidis Spinellis,
author of Code Reading and Code Quality Software Expert Kent Beck
Presents a Catalog of Patterns Infinitely Useful for Everyday
Programming Great code doesn't just function: it clearly and
consistently communicates your intentions, allowing other
programmers to understand your code, rely on it, and modify it with
confidence. But great code doesn't just happen. It is the outcome
of hundreds of small but critical decisions programmers make every
single day. Now, legendary software innovator Kent Beck-known
worldwide for creating Extreme Programming and pioneering software
patterns and test-driven development-focuses on these critical
decisions, unearthing powerful "implementation patterns" for
writing programs that are simpler, clearer, better organized, and
more cost effective. Beck collects 77 patterns for handling
everyday programming tasks and writing more readable code. This new
collection of patterns addresses many aspects of development,
including class, state, behavior, method, collections, frameworks,
and more. He uses diagrams, stories, examples, and essays to engage
the reader as he illuminates the patterns. You'll find proven
solutions for handling everything from naming variables to checking
exceptions. This book covers The value of communicating through
code and the philosophy behind patterns How and when to create
classes, and how classes encode logic Best practices for storing
and retrieving state Behavior: patterns for representing logic,
including alternative paths Writing, naming, and decomposing
methods Choosing and using collections Implementation pattern
variations for use in building frameworks Implementation Patterns
will help programmers at all experience levels, especially those
who have benefited from software patterns or agile methods. It will
also be an indispensable resource for development teams seeking to
work together more efficiently and build more maintainable
software. No other programming book will touch your day-to-day work
more often.

For fans of Before We Were Yours and Where the Crawdads Sing, "a
gripping, poignant tale swathed in both mythical and mystical
overtones" (Bob Drury, New York Times bestselling author) that
follows four orphans on a life-changing odyssey during the Great
Depression, from the New York Times bestselling author of Ordinary
Grace. 1932, Minnesota-the Lincoln School is a pitiless place where
hundreds of Native American children, forcibly separated from their
parents, are sent to be educated. It is also home to an orphan
named Odie O'Banion, a lively boy whose exploits earn him the
superintendent's wrath. Forced to flee, he and his brother Albert,
their best friend Mose, and a brokenhearted little girl named Emmy
steal away in a canoe, heading for the mighty Mississippi and a
place to call their own. Over the course of one unforgettable
summer, these four orphans will fly into the unknown and cross
paths with others who are adrift, from struggling farmers and
traveling faith healers to displaced families and lost souls of all
kinds. With the feel of a modern classic, This Tender Land is an en
thralling, big-hearted epic that is "more than a simple journey; it
is a deeply satisfying odyssey, a quest in search of self and home"
(Booklist).

In The Great Awakening: Defeating the Globalists and Launching the
Next Great Renaissance, the most persecuted man on Earth, Alex
Jones, gives you the good news about the failing plans of the
globalists to control humanity. The expression “Get woke, go
broke” has entered the common lexicon as we’ve seen company
after company invoke the false gods of diversity, equity, and
inclusion to their financial demise. But this surface discussion
masks a much darker truth. What we are witnessing is nothing less
than the failed plans of social Darwinists to capture free market
capitalism and turn it toward their fascist aims of controlling and
depopulating the globe. Working with New York Times bestselling
author Kent Heckenlively, Jones masterfully gives you the deeper
discussion about such hot button topics as the truth behind the
globalists plans for artificial intelligence (AI), the central bank
digital currency, social credit scores, Big Tech tyranny,
censorship, fifteen-minute cities, the unholy alliance between big
business and big government, the military-intelligence-industrial
complex—which is hell-bent on eternal war—and the all-out
assault on free speech and the Second Amendment. The good news is
that these plans are destined to fail, if we wake up to the
anti-human future the globalists have planned for us. The
globalists hate freedom, and what they hate the most is the
greatest freedom document in human history, the United States
Constitution. Jones does not shy away from the darker parts of
American history—the way we have been systematically deceived by
the intelligence agencies since their assassination of President
John F. Kennedy—but he provides example after example of people
who have broken free from the matrix of lies to tell the truth. The
people the globalists fear the most are the members of their own
systems of control, who wake up and then decide to act against the
machine. The globalists believe they’ve planned for every
possible contingency, but they hadn’t counted on the conscience
and love of truth, which lives in the souls of good people. St.
Augustine once wrote: “The truth is like a lion; you don’t have
to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.” No figure in
our modern times has roared louder against the enemies of freedom
than Alex Jones. In the calm and dispassionate style that made his
first book, The Great Reset: And the War for the World, such a
smash hit, Alex lays out the flaws in the plans of the globalists
and how they seek to create a world in direct opposition to God’s
plans for our glorious human future. But God consistently works His
will in our world, even through imperfect individuals like Donald
Trump, Alex Jones, or you. If you want to read one book this year
to understand your world and help lead humanity to the next great
human renaissance, you need to order this book today.
