Finding Hope When Life Doesn't Make Sense

"This is a book I'll be recommending for years to come." -- Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times bestselling author

Do you believe God is just not fair?

If you're like Jennifer Rothschild, you wrestle with questions when you experience painful circumstances.

Does God care? Does he hear my prayers? Is he even there?

Blinded as a teenager, Jennifer overcame daunting obstacles, found strength in God, and launched a successful speaking and writing ministry. Then in her 40s, everything changed.

Jennifer hit a wall of depression and discontent that shook her to her core, undermining many of her past assumptions about her faith. She wondered who God was and why he continued to allow her to struggle and doubt. Where, she pleaded, is his hand of healing and hope in my life now?

This is a book about finding more than just answers. It's for anyone who needs hope when life doesn't make sense--for all who reach for a God who feels distant. As Jennifer tackles the six big questions of faith, she will help you:

 * Trust God more than your feelings.
 * Strengthen your faith when you feel beat up by life.
 * Embrace your obstacles and start experiencing their purpose.
 * Face your disappointment and grow stronger from your loss.

50 Activities, Games, and Projects to Develop the Seven Intelligences of Your Child

What Is Smart? There's evidence of so much more than "reading, writing, and 'rithmetic" in every child -- at least seven distinct intelligences, according to the theory of multiple intelligences, developed by Harvard's Dr. Howard Gardner. In Seven Times Smarter, veteran educator Laurel Schmidt offers a parent-friendly explanation of this theory and of the ways that kids are -- simply put -- word smart, picture smart, music smart, body smart, logic smart, people smart, and self-smart.

Bill Yenne

'Here, Yenne displays his talent for succinctly painting the big picture with a series of fascinating details that make ancient history come alive. Only an author of his experience and capability could render the amazing story of Alexander the Great with such accuracy and feeling. Yenne grabs the reader on page one and doesn't let go until the end. This book will make us yearn for the return of a leader like Alexander to resolve our current wars in the Middle East." —Walter Boyne, Colonel USAF (Ret.) and Former Director of the National Air & Space Museum

Lessons from History's Undefeated General

When the Oracle of Delphi told Alexander the Great that he was invincible, it was right. The son of the great King Philip II of Macedonia, Alexander was educated by Aristotle and commanded a wing of his father's army in the victory over the Thebans and Athenians at the Battle of Chaeronea—all when he was still just a teenager. By the time of his death at age 32, he had amassed an empire that stretched from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River and included all of Persia and most of Egypt. He ruled as both the shah of Persia and as a pharaoh of Egypt by right of conquest, and he was also crowned king of Asia. Here, historian Bill Yenne illuminates the legendary vision of this classical hero. Exhibiting the best traits of a battlefield leader, Alexander was audacious, aggressive, fearless and victorious. His unfailing integration of strategic vision and tactical genius took him to the ends of the earth, and into immortality as a military leader. Alexander's influence on cultural and political history and the scope of his military prowess remains awe-inspiring to this day.

Don Berry

Women of Hawaii : Pictures by Pegge Hopper With a biographical Sketch by DON BERRY F ALL THE PAINTERS now working in Hawaii, Pegge Hopper is without doubt the most popular Meticulously finished and strongly graphic, her paintings chieflyof tawaiian women- superbly capture the strength and nobility she sees in hersubjects. Her paintings and original prints are in numerous private, civic, and corporate collections throughout the Islands and, increasingly, on the mandand As well. 1 In this first book about Hopper and her work, author Don Berry explains how it is that a woman who insists upon describing herself as "ordinary' has been able to create such extraordinary works of art. Part of the explanation is unexceptional: She has talent, determination, and grit. But Hopper herself attributes much of her success not to these qualities but to her lifelong pursuit of balance: her expectations of herself v. her parents' very different early expectations of her; her role as wife & mother v. her need to paint; her wish to sell paintings v. her desire to paint just what she wants to, without regard to her public. I One reason for the popularity of Hopper's works, of course, is their accessibility. But knowing something about Hopper the artist deepens our appreciation of the paintings. Finally, whatever else they may be, they are the work of no "ordinary" person.

Sandro Vannini

The Valley of the Kings is famous throughout the world as the burial place of the great New Kingdom pharaohs. It was here, in 1922, that Howard Carter stumbled upon the virtually intact tomb of the boy-king, Tutankhamun, igniting a worldwide Egyptomania that has lasted to this day. The royal tombs, tunneled deep into the Theban cliffs, represented both the gates to the Netherworld and the womb of the Great Goddess. Many of them contain outstanding wall paintings of the king with gods and goddesses, as well as papyri, mummies, decorated coffins and other artifacts. This is the first book to reproduce these murals in full, and to explore the meanings of the esoteric and arcane Netherworld Books that decorated the royal tombs. The images are accompanied by in-depth analyses of the most deeply held beliefs of the ancient kings and queens who lay there, beliefs that provided the impetus for the building, decoration and equipping of these magnificent tombs. Beautifully illustrated in full color, with thirty foldouts, this sumptuous volume will enable you to join the pharaohs of the New Kingdom on their journeys to immortality.

Wayne E. Lee

Wayne Lee's account of rapacity aud restraint in warfare captures the reader while offering profound insight. His revealing case studies come from the English-speaking world of the aisteenth through nineteenth centuries, but the lessons he drawe from them should be taken to heart by historians studying any region or epoch, Lee establishes that the severity of troope on campaign-their frightfalness, in his terminology-reflected their own sense of identity, the degree to which they perceived their enemy as alien or similar barbarians or brothers—and the moral limits or license regarded as appropriate in dealing with such adversaries. Lee's argument emphasizes the cultural contexts of warfare and the need to study it from the bottom up, as something consistent with the conseience of the rank and file, not simply as something commanded by the officers who led them." -JOHN A. LYNN, Northwestern Univereity


Anglo-American Warfare, 1500-1865

The most important conflicts in the founding of the English colonies and the American republic were fought against enemies either totally outside of their society or within it: barbarians or brothers. In this work, Wayne E. Lee presents a searching exploration of early modern English and American warfare, looking at the sixteenth-century wars in Ireland, the English Civil War, the colonial Anglo-Indian wars, the American Revolution, and the American Civil War.Crucial to the level of violence in each of these conflicts was the perception of the enemy as either a brother (a fellow countryman) or a barbarian. But Lee goes beyond issues of ethnicity and race to explore how culture, strategy, and logistics also determined the nature of the fighting. Each conflict contributed to the development of American attitudes toward war. The brutal nature of English warfare in Ireland helped shape the military methods the English employed in North America, just as the legacy of the English Civil War cautioned American colonists about the need to restrain soldiers' behavior. Nonetheless, Anglo-Americans waged war against Indians with terrifying violence, in part because Native Americans' system of restraints on warfare diverged from European traditions. The Americans then struggled during the Revolution to reconcile these two different trends of restraint and violence when fighting various enemies.Through compelling campaign narratives, Lee explores the lives and fears of soldiers, as well as the strategies of their commanders, while showing how their collective choices determined the nature of wartime violence. In the end, the repeated experience of wars with barbarians or brothers created an American culture of war that demanded absolute solutions: enemies were either to be incorporated or rejected. And that determination played a major role in defining the violence used against them.

The ultimate book on King Tut and his tomb--the most exciting archaeological find the world has ever known.

The fabulous treasures of Tutankhamun have fascinated the public since their discovery by Howard Carter in 1922. Many books have been written about the boy king and his tomb, but this volume by world-renowned Egyptologist Zahi Hawass provides the reader with a unique perspective on this extraordinary archaeological find. Images by pioneering photographer Sandro Vannini offer distinctive views of almost 200 of the spectacular artifacts found at the burial site.

King Tutankhamun uses carefully selected objects to illustrate the entire ten years of painstaking excavation and documentation carried out by Carter and his team. Organized to follow the chambers of the tomb in the order in which they were excavated, it illuminates the site’s most magnificent artifacts.

An experienced field archaeologist who has made many important discoveries himself, Dr. Hawass imbues the text with his own unique voice, imagining how exploration of the tomb must have felt for Carter and providing invaluable information about the objects. Sandro Vannini’s photographs are extraordinary as well, allowing the objects to be seen in even more detail than is possible with the naked eye.

MURDER IN DENVER

Fay was dead. She had obviously been murdered and the frut dury of any law-abiding citizen was to notify the police and set the official machinery in motion without delay, Because the step was to logical, he had already started for the telephone in the living room before additional elements came rardily to the top of his mind and set in motion a whole new mental image that was both terrifying and disheartening. For he had read enough crime stories, both facrual and fictional, to know that when a wife was murdered the husband was the prime suspect. He also knew that more often than not the busband was guilty. Now, considering his own position, he saw that all available evidence pointed directly to him. For in addition to an ingrown acquisitiveness. Fay was both inquisitive and, when drinking; garrulous. Just as she had given him odd bits of information and gossip from time to time, he knew that she had told others about the present state of their marriage. The Carvers, for one, knew thar that marriage was on the rocks; Oliver and Emestina must have overheard quarrels from time to time, some of them bitter. The fact that he was in love with another woman and wanted to ger rid of his wife would almost cenainly be dis covered by the police before long. If Fay knew about the affair, and from what she had said earlier she certainly had some information abour it, then it should prove no great problem to the authorities. This in irself would be a satisfactory motive. There was one final bir of evidence thar would support a hypothetical case, and as he held out Iris hand and turned it over he knew he could not deny it. The three scratches that Fay had put there had already started to scab over and he realized it would be a simple matter the police to prove that the skin from those scratches was still under his wife's fingernaile
