"A warm and witty tale that will grab you by the heart!"--DENISE
HUNTER, bestselling author of the Riverbend Romance series Samuel
was back. It seemed unfair to be blindsided. And in church no less.
Shouldn't there be a commandment about that? Thou shalt not step
foot inside thy ex's place of worship. Julia Monroe has just turned
forty and has high hopes for a fresh start after the last decade of
her life abruptly left her a young widow and a single mom. With
both her boys off to college, she can finally focus on expanding
her New Orleans-based cleaning business. Julia is ready for new
beginnings--but God has other plans. Samuel Reed, the ruggedly
handsome Green Beret who shattered her heart over twenty years ago,
has returned to town and is the kind of distraction she never saw
coming. After their first interaction in years leaves her mind
spinning and her emotions out of control, Julia knows she needs to
avoid him if she wants any chance of preventing history from
repeating itself, but her meddling best friend keeps throwing them
together. And now it seems inevitable that the man who was hard to
forget might just be impossible to resist. "Millet has written an
achingly sweet story of second chances and the beauty of how
forgiveness creates freedom and joy."--PEPPER BASHAM, award-winning
author of Authentically, Izzy "I loved Rebekah's kind and funny
voice and taking an imaginary getaway to New Orleans."--BECKY WADE,
Christy Hall of Fame author
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Have you bought the lie? Many of us do. We measure our worth by
what others think of us. We compare and strive, existing mostly for
the approval of others. Pressure rises, anxiety creeps in and we
hustle to keep up. Jesus whispers, I gave my life to set you free.
I gave you purpose. I called you to live in freedom in that
purpose. Yet we still hobble through life, afraid to confess all
the ways we push against this truth, because we can't even believe
it. We continue to grasp for the approval of anyone that will offer
it: whether strangers, friends, or community. Christ doesn't say
you can be or may be or will be free. He says you are free. Dare
you believe it? In You Are Free, Rebekah invites you to: * Overcome
the exhaustion of trying to meet the expectations of others and
rest in the joy God's freedom brings. * Release stress, anxiety and
worry, to uncover the peace that comes from abiding in His
presence. * Find permission to grieve past experiences, confess
areas of brokenness, and receive strength in your journey towards
healing. * Throw off self-condemnation, burn superficial masks and
step boldly into what our good God has for you. * Discover the
courage to begin again and use your newfound freedom to set others
free. Freedom is for everyone who wants it-the lost, the wounded,
and those weary from all of the striving. It's for those who gave
up trying years ago. It's for those angry and hurt, brilliant and
burnt by the Christian song and dance. You are the church, the
people of God. You were meant to be free.
From James Beard Book Award finalist Rebekah Peppler: The definitive guide to the food, drink, and lifestyle of southeastern Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, featuring recipes that reflect the Provençal table from a modern perspective.
The charms of le sud are many. The food culture is vibrant and season-focused; the tables are welcoming and convivial. In Le Sud, Rebekah Peppler distills these flavors, techniques, and spirit of the South of France into a never-before-seen collection of recipes, photographs, and stories.
The region—and its many culinary viewpoints—spans from the snowcapped Southern Alps in the north to the French Mediterranean in the south, the Rhône River to the west, and Italy along its eastern border. And like many regions where landscapes and people happily crash into each other, the food is dynamic and exciting. Here are recipes—from drinks to savory to sweet—that capture the modern tables and life lived around them in the south of France today.
Le Sud’s transporting photography expands our visual understanding of Provence outside solely lavender fields and endless summer holidays to showcase the geographically and culturally diverse region and its tables. As in À Table—her inspiring cookbook about dining the French way—Peppler’s recipes drip in home cook equity.
Interwoven alongside the recipes and photography are fun, informative sidebars that reflect this perspective of eating and drinking in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and provide an inspiring, approachable guide to the south of France. Sidebars elevate a reader’s knowledge of southeastern French cooking and eating, from the wines of the region to after-dinner drinking to the (modern) Provençal cheese plate.
Le Sud is more than a recipe book; it is a dive into and a celebration of this abundant, enchanting region that has long captured the imaginations of many.

Over the last decade there has been a series of Government policy
initiatives in respect of children’s services and social work
education in England, many of which aim to de-regulate or privatise
aspects of these services. Critically considering the impact of the
MacAlister Review, this book explores the past, present and future
of children’s services in the UK from a range of perspectives –
lived, professional and academic. This accessible guide provides a
timely and incisive overview of the current children’s services
reform agenda in the UK. It identifies current challenges, analyses
both strengths and weaknesses in the current policy agenda and sets
out alternative policy and practice directions for a system that
can meet families’ needs.
There is so much to consider in any clinical consultation:
identifying the individual is the one you expected, who is with the
individual, which therapy intervention, resources, signposting,
referrals, being cued in to responses for contextual information,
evaluation and outcomes, planning next steps ... and this is all
before you throw 'virtual' in the mix! This clinical companion
presents 50 transferable, adaptable, practical and accessible
chapters for speech and language therapists and others working via
remote consultations. Divided into four sections, the book covers:
The remote practitioner. The remote rules. Creating a digital tool
kit. A remotely possible future. Aimed at students encountering
their first remote consultations, newly qualified clinicians with
limited practical experience of virtual clinics through to
clinicians who are experienced in their own specialities but now
need to transfer those skills to remote ways of delivery, this
concise text will provide confidence and guidance for the reader.
It will also prove useful to clinicians beyond speech and language
as many of the skills and practical advice and guidance are
applicable in specialities across a range of settings, both public
and private, healthcare and education.
For students taking courses in speech pathology assessment and
diagnosis or clinicians wishing to keep up to date on their
constantly evolving field. A popular, practical, and comprehensive
text that approaches the diagnosis and evaluation of speech and
language with a special focus on the relationship between clinician
and client. Diagnosis and Evaluation in Speech Pathology provides
readers with a practical process approach to the diagnosis and
evaluation of speech and language disorders. Equally helpful to
students in training and practicing clinicians alike, this engaging
resource develops a rationale for each type of assessment,
including both standardized and non-standardized approaches. Each
chapter highlights the most updated literature, clinical procedures
and technological advances, while emphasizing diagnosis as an
initial step in defining a communication disorder and while
focusing on evaluation as an ongoing assessment process to monitor
progress on treatment goals. Organized by communication disorder,
this text makes for a vital reference, while case examples and
real-world vignettes help readers best understand clinical skills
with interviewing, report writing, and multicultural issues in
assessment.
A pathbreaking study of the women who create electronic dance
music, "Beyond the Dance Floor" focuses on the largely neglected
relationship between these women and the conceptions of gender and
technology that continue to inform the male-dominated culture
surrounding electronic music. In this volume, Rebekah Farrugia
explores a number of important issues, including the politics of
identity and representation, the bonds formed by women within the
DJ community, and the role female DJs and producers play in this
dance music culture as well as in the larger public sphere. Though
Farrugia primarily focuses on women's relationship to music-related
technologies--including vinyl, mp3s, and digital production
software--she also deftly extends her argument to the strategic use
of the Internet and web design skills for purposes tied to
publicity, networking, and music distribution.

From the writer who brought you the Irish romance The Upside of
Falling Down comes a new novel about secrets, friendship,
reinvention, and unexpected love in the Scottish Highlands. June
Merriweather is on the run-from her own life. Her brother is dead,
her parents are liars, and her college major is a joke. Apart from
her best friend, Matt, June is desperate for reinvention. And a
one-way ticket out of Cincinnati to the Scottish Highlands is a
good place to start. With a backpack, an urn, and a secret, June
begins again. She snags a job at a cafe and finds lodging at a
quaint inn with a quirky cast of housemates. The only problem: the
inn's infuriatingly perceptive (and sexy) owner, Lennox. He's
suspicious of June. After all, no one comes to Scotland in the
winter unless they're running from something. From rocky start to
sizzling temptation, June's new world is exhilarating...and one
detour away from disaster. With her past and her future both vying
for attention, June can't begin to picture where her reimagined
life is headed next. And falling in love with the last person she
expected is only the beginning.
Using a well-conceived incident response plan in the aftermath of
an online security breach enables your team to identify attackers

In the world's most developed democracies, anxiety about the future
of democracy itself is palpable. The tension between moral
aspiration and moral despair in modern political life has reached a
point of crisis. Christian Realism arose during a similar time of
crisis, when Reinhold Niebuhr used the insights of the Christian
tradition to interpret the clash between democracy and
totalitarianism in the first half of the 20th century. Beginning
with Robin Lovin's account of Niebuhr's Christian realism as a
nuanced blend of theological, moral, and political realisms, The
Future of Christian Realism directly addresses fundamental topics
in theology, ethics and politics. The contributors of this volume
come from different traditions, span five continents, and together
present a case for the continuing relevance of Christian realism.
By paying close attention to many of the most pressing moral
challenges facing societies today, the authors illustrate and
evaluate the relevance of Christian realism in the contemporary
world.

perspective, this text offers real-world situations and tried and
true techniques for working with children and adolescents. Grounded
