Traditional scholarship on the kings' sagas has tended to focus on
the textual histories and interrelationships between the various
twelfth- and thirteenth-century Scandinavian manuscripts. Thus
previous scholars have striven to ascertain chronology, dating, and
potential literary borrowings between the various native medieval
manuscripts without considering the possibility of foreign textual
influences on native literary traditions. Non-Native Sources for
the Scandinavian Kings' Sagasprompts scholars to look beyond the
borders of medieval Scandinavia in the attempt to account for
seemingly inexplicable literary motifs and historical accounts.
A lyrical, richly illustrated storybook about community and family
- set against the backdrop of a seaside fishing village. If you
keep walking over the hills and across the fields, you will come to
the edge, where the land meets the sea. And on this edge lies a
village. This is my home. A young boy watches the grown-ups in his
village go about their work. Everyone is busy: the blacksmith, the
boat-builder, the baker. But most important of all, he thinks, are
the fishermen who bring in the catch. The boy's father is a baker,
but he wants to be a daring fishermen when he grows up, brave
enough to sail through stormy seas. He asks his father, "Have you
ever been to sea?" An atmospheric look at a traditional way of
life, and a timeless reminder that everyone is important, no matter
how seemingly small their role.

Nobody understands the issues women face better than dynamic Bible
teacher and national speaker Paula White, host of a national
television program, who crosses racial and gender lines with her
messages. Many of these listeners are women who identify with
Paula's straight-forward and candid approach as she shares from
what she has experienced in life. Her openness, integrity, and
honesty are what draw men and women to her. In this book, Paula
highlights 10 women in the Bible and shows how God transformed
their lives and can transform anyone's life who is seeking Him and
the answers he provides throughout Scripture.
Early in Paula's life, she didn't know God, but there was always a pull to something greater. Once she prayed for salvation at the age of eighteen, Paula finally understood the meaning of grace and purpose, and realized God had been taking care of her the whole time.
Paula shares her journey of faith in Something Greater, what she calls "a love letter to God from a messed up Mississippi girl." She details feeling led to a higher calling as a child, how she came to serve others as a female pastor, and what led to being asked to become spiritual advisor to President Donald Trump.
Something Greater encourages readers to know and understand the "something greater" that is in all of them, and will teach them how to cling to Jesus Christ in times of need and abundance.
A woman who has experienced both tragedy and triumph, Paula White
shares hope with those facing life's trials. Paula opens her heart
to offer personal testimonies and key passages of Scripture that
will equip readers to discover purpose in their pain and to
overcome any challenge that crosses their path. It's not about what
happens "to" us, it's about what happens "in" us. Failure is "not"
final. We have the power to:
- Renew our minds
- Transition from trial to testimony
- Discover God's pattern for our lives
Most important, Paula teaches readers to never quit. Tough times
don't last-tough people do! What are you waiting for? Grab hold of
the victory God promises. It's time to MOVE ON, MOVE UP.
