The tyranny of the urgent is a by-product of our fast-paced world.
It affects many people, but when it impacts pastors they are often
tempted to ignore the critical needs of the pastoral disciplines
that ensure the effectiveness of ministry.
In Thinking, Listening, and Being: Wesleyan Pastoral
Disciplines, Jeren Rowell offers theological reflections on what it
means to live and work as a pastor. He examines different aspects
of
pastoral thinking, practice, and work, and challenges pastors
to continually pursue prayer, the study of Scriptures, and
theological reflection. "Working in this way," he writes, "could
not only be a gift of love for the church but also an important
model for parish pastors who are tempted to surrender first things
to the urgencies and temptations of contemporary life."
In Carry On, Simon Snow and his friends realized that everything
they thought they understood about the world might be wrong. And in
Wayward Son, they wondered whether everything they understood about
themselves might be wrong. In Any Way the Wind Blows, Simon and Baz
and Penelope and Agatha have to decide how to move forward. For
Simon, that means deciding whether he still wants to be part of the
World of Mages - and if he doesn't, what does that mean for his
relationship with Baz? Meanwhile Baz is bouncing between two family
crises and not finding any time to talk to anyone about his
newfound vampire knowledge. Penelope would love to help, but she's
smuggled an American Normal into London, and now she isn't sure
what to do with him. And Agatha? Well, Agatha Wellbelove has had
enough. Any Way the Wind Blows takes the gang back to England, back
to Watford, and back to their families for their longest and most
emotionally wrenching adventure yet. This book is a finale. It
tells secrets and answers questions and lays ghosts to rest. Carry
On was conceived as a book about Chosen One stories; Any Way the
Wind Blows is an ending about endings. About catharsis and closure,
and how we choose to move on from the traumas and triumphs that try
to define us.

sister has mostly grown away from fandom, but Cath just can’t let
go… Everything in Cath’s offline life is going wrong. Just when

their mother—the same woman who walked out of their lives

Gamal Abdel Nasser, the larger-than-life Egyptian president who
ruled for eighteen years from the coup d'etat he led in 1952, is
best known for wresting the Suez Canal from the British and French
empires and befriending such iconic revolutionaries as Fidel Castro
and Che Guevara. Yet there is a darker side to Nasser's regime. He
was a brutal authoritarian, whose legacy lies at the heart of the
violent and repressive order that still prevails throughout the
Arab world today. In We Are Your Soldiers, Alex Rowell focuses on
seven countries – Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Yemen and
Libya – to reassess Nasser's impact in the Arab sphere. Drawing
on a deep reading of Arabic sources, extensive interviews, and
material never before published in English, Rowell offers a radical
reexamination of Nasser's rule and a new understanding of Middle
Eastern politics.
