Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When a couple is in a good place, they feel secure and fulfilled. To feel secure and fulfilled in a relationship, both people need to feel that the other person thinks highly of them, cares deeply for them, and thinks they are proficient at something. #2 The first step in saving your relationship is to focus on it. If you cannot sustain attention over time, love will falter here. But if you can create genuine connection, you’ve got it made. The rewards of love are far more important than most people believe. #3 Today, love and stability are difficult to find. You may be hoping for some fun, but today, fun often gives way to fear. As you read this, you may be wondering if any of the hopes we’ve mentioned are realistically possible given the frenzy and anxiety of modern life. #4 The dream of love is a dream that every person in the world can make come true. Don’t give up on it. If you’ve read this far, you haven’t. You’re a little frustrated or maybe a lot frustrated with your difficult in turning your relationship into what it could be or keeping it where you want it to be.

Book Description
NOELLE If you'd have told me two days ago that I'd be planning on trailing my husband's infidelity, I'd never have believed you, and I still couldn't quite believe it, even though I'd witnessed it more or less at first hand.I sipped at the third glass of cold white wine I'd had since I'd got home. The day had started well enough but within several hours it had ended in the day from hell. I shook my head as if trying to dispel the fog that had descended into my brain stopping me from thinking straight (I guess the wine wasn't helping either). I rested my head back on the sofa and gazed into the flames of the fire and wondered what I was going to do. Confront him? No, too soon, I needed to gather more evidence first. Ignore it? Bury my head in the sand? But why should I? Catch him in the act? No, I really couldn't bear the thought of witnessing him naked with another woman. None of those choices sat well, because the truth was, I really didn't want to accept that my husband was a lying, unfaithful son of a bitch (which his mother was in actual fact, but there lies another story), who was probably having sex with another woman right at this very moment, and I couldn't help but wonder if there had been others. If I hadn't volunteered to do the overnight surveillance, I'd still be living my life blissfully unaware of what an absolute toe-rag my soon to be ex-husband was. MARKOSI stood behind the window of my office in Sanibel, Florida, and stared out at the view of the sea. So, my farce of a marriage was finally over; it had been a long time coming. In the eight years we'd been married, not once had the word 'love' been mentioned, by either of us. Sex had been a means to an end for me and the relationship had been stormy from start to finish to say the least and based on an outright lie. Adriana and I had got together whilst I was temporarily back home in Kefalonia, investing in a hotel there. Three months later she told me that she was pregnant; you'd have thought I'd have had more sense than to believe her. I'd flown back to Kefalonia yet again, and we'd married, quickly. It had taken her three months to admit that she'd been lying; there was no baby, never had been nor would there ever be. It was something that I'd never been able to forgive her for; she'd trapped me into a loveless marriage for my money. We had known each other since we were children and she'd grown into a beautiful woman; a model whose face had graced a thousand magazines and billboards. But it was all surface; there was nothing underneath that beautiful veneer apart from deviousness and selfishness. But marriage was marriage, and I was stuck with it; for better or for worse. The whole eight years had been the 'worst', and there had never been a 'better'. But now that was about to change; I'd be free again and I had a lot of catching up to do and rid my mind of the scene that had greeted me when I'd got home earlier.

Book Description
A critical reassessment of world-shaping Portuguese voyages of discovery that places these quests in historical context. The lasting impact of historic Portuguese voyages of discovery is unquestionable. The slave trade, the diaspora of the Sephardic Jews, and the intercontinental spread of plants and animals all make clear these voyages’ long-term global significance. Navigations reexamines these Portuguese quests by placing them in their medieval and Renaissance settings. It shows how these voyages grew out of a crusading ethos, as well as long-distance trade with Asia and Africa and developments in map-making and ship design. Malyn Newitt also narrates these voyages of discovery in the framework of Portuguese politics, describing the role of the Portuguese ruling dynasty—including its female members—in the flowering of the Portuguese Renaissance, the creation of the Renaissance state with its distinctive ideology, and in the cultural changes that took place within a wider European context.

Book Description
When it comes to women and work, there is often an “us-versus-them” mentality, dividing women according to the choices they make. Yet all women have a shared calling to work in a way that glorifies God—whether it be in the office, home, ministry, or beyond. In this eight-week study built around Katelyn Beaty’s A Woman’s Place book, groups will explore the idea of a woman’s work. The book contains profiles of eight women, considerations of Scripture, and reflections on the meaning of work. This study provides additional Bible study resources, journal prompts, and questions for reflection to help groups to move through Beaty’s message in a rich and meaningful way with an emphasis on Scripture and prayer. Through authentic discussion, women will be encouraged to affirm one another in their calling to engage in the holy act of work, regardless of their specific choices. The Leader Guide contains eight session plan outlines, complete with discussion points and questions, group activities, prayers, and leader helps for facilitating a group. Other components for the study, each available separately, include a Praticipant Guide and a DVD (with closed captioning) featuring eight sessions, each approximately eight minutes long presenting Beaty and guest interviewees.

Book Description
This volume presents new translations of five of Augustine’s works: The Excellence of Marriage, Holy Virginity, The Excellence of Widowhood, Adulterous Marriages, and Continence.... The volume is to be commended on several points. The translation itself is in eminently readable, clear English that should be accessible to anyone interested in Augustine.... The general introduction does an excellent job of placing these works in the context of Augustine’s career, showing how Augustine reacts to controversies with the Manichees, Jovinian, Jerome, and the Pelagians, while maintaining a commitment to the threefold goods of marriage — procreation, fidelity, and sacrament. This is a wonderful collection that allows readers to see the complexity of Augustine’s thought on a difficult topic.” Kim Paffenroth Journal of Early Christian Studies
