Re·lent·less (ri lent/lis): an attitude or posture that is resolute, uncompromising, persistent, unyielding, constant, unstoppable, ruthless.  The opposite of slacken, waver, or concede. If ever there was a need for followers of Jesus to be resolute in purpose, uncompromising for truth, persistent in faith, unyielding in hope, constant in love, and unstoppable in advancing the kingdom...it’s now! God is ruthless in His love and pursuit of us; it’s time for His Bride to reflect the same passion. John Bevere explores how people of Bible times and today became relentless: John the Baptist spent years living in a barren desert. Jesus endured hardship in a desolate wilderness of temptation. Both men emerged strong in the “power of the Spirit,” relentless in not just getting through challenges but in ruling over their circumstances. Ultimately, they succeeded in their God-given life mission. In Relentless, you’ll learn how even seemingly impossible situations were never meant to stop you but to propel you forward in your journey. Discover in these biblically grounded truths how you can thrive no matter what your season of life.  How you begin is not nearly as important as how you finish. Embrace your trials and become relentless!Questions for reflection and discussion included!

Québec, 2010. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- Broché collé . Format in-8°( 22,8 x 15,3 cm ) ( 838 gr ). ------------ 562 pages. ******************* 4ème de Couverture : En 1651, la monarchie française concède la seigneurie de Sillery aux « sauvages » néophytes chrétiens des environs de Québec, montagnais et algonquins. C'est la première fois que le roi de France donne une seigneurie directement à un groupe d'autochtones. Et ce sera la dernière. En fait, toute l'histoire de cette concession est exceptionnelle et passionnante. D'abord, les Jésuites, tuteurs exclusifs et perpétuels des indigènes, font mainbasse sur la seigneurie, n'hésitant pas à conclure des tractations préjudiciables aux intérêts de leurs pupilles. Ces pupilles, ce sont très vite des Hurons, réfugiés à Québec à l'époque de la concession, qui remplacent les occupants originaux. La tutelle jésuite sévit tout le long du Régime français. Après la Conquête, les Jésuites se voient en pratique interdits par les autorités britanniques. Leurs biens doivent être liquidés. Les Hurons estiment que la seigneurie de Sillery leur revient. Obéissant à une logique impériale d'assujettissement plutôt que d'alliance, les Britanniques refusent de la leur rendre. Tous les prétendants aux biens des Jésuites finiront par obtenir dédommagement, sauf les Hurons. Frustrés par leurs tuteurs, subjugués par les Britanniques, les propriétaires originaux de la seigneurie ne s'avouent pas pour autant vaincus et poursuivent la lutte jusque sous le gouvernement fédéral du Dominion du Canada, successeur de la politique britannique. C'est ce combat inégal que Michel Lavoie raconte dans ce livre. Combat dont l'issue est toujours incertaine aujourd'hui, et qui pourrait avoir une incidence énorme sur l'ensemble des revendications territoriales amérindiennes. . ******************************

Literary texts that address tradition and the transmission of knowledge often seem concerned less with preservation than with loss, recurrently describing scenarios of what author Kevin Ohi terms “thwarted transmission.” Such scenes, however, do not so much concede the impossibility of survival as look into what constitutes literary knowledge and whether it can properly be said to be an object to be transmitted, preserved, or lost. Beginning with general questions of transmission—the conveying of knowledge in pedagogy, the transmission and material preservation of texts and forms of knowledge, and even the impalpable communication between text and reader—Dead Letters Sent examines two senses of “queer transmission.” First, it studies the transmission of a minority sexual culture, of queer ways of life and the specialized knowledges they foster. Second, it examines the queer potential of literary and cultural transmission, the queerness that is sheltered within tradition itself. By exploring how these two senses are intertwined, it builds a persuasive argument for the relevance of queer criticism to literary study. Its detailed attention to works by Plato, Shakespeare, Swinburne, Pater, Wilde, James, and Faulkner seeks to formulate a practice of reading adequate to the queerness Ohi’s book uncovers within the literary tradition.Ohi identifies a radical new future for both queer theory and close reading: the possibility that each might exceed itself in merging with the other, creating a queer theory of literary tradition immanent in an immersed practice of reading.

This is not the usual kind of self-help book. Indeed, its major premise heeds a Zen master's advice to be less self-centered. Yes, it is "one more book of words about Zen," as the author concedes, yet this book explains meditative practices from the perspective of a " neural Zen." The latest findings in brain research inform its suggestions. In Meditating Selflessly, James Austin -- Zen practitioner, neurologist, and author of three acclaimed books on Zen and neuroscience -- guides readers toward that open awareness already awaiting them on the cushion and in the natural world.Austin offers concrete advice -- often in a simplified question-and-answer format -- about different ways to meditate. He clarifies both the concentrative and receptive styles of meditation. Drawing widely from the exciting new field of contemplative neuroscience, Austin helps resolve an ancient paradox: why both insight wisdom and selflessness arise simultaneously during enlightened states of consciousness.

Is patriarchy necessary to ensure responsible fathering? Lawrence H. Fuchs, author of Family Matters, argues that the link between male dominance and fatherhood is no longer iron-clad. Analyzing the universality of patriarchy and its incentives for cultural fatherhood, Fuchs concedes that the importance of biological differences between the sexes was a possible, even plausible, basis for the evolution of patriarchy. But in this timely work he imagines a new paradigm of fatherhood for a post-patriarchal age, one inspired by the history of Jewish patriarchy. Two millennia ago the rabbis established the strategies to curb the extreme abuses of patriarchy found in all civilizations. They did so by according wives significant sexual and economic rights. In the last two centuries as Jews became more integrated into the societies in which they lived, their unique variation of patriarchy was disrupted. Fuchs argues that the Jewish story sets the precedent for fundamental change in the nature of patriarchy today, thus breaking what may have been the evolutionary connection between male dominance and incentives for fatherhood. It is Fuchs's startling conclusion that the Jewish precedent points to the next step in evolution: fathers without patriarchy.

Establishing the relevance of Old Testament ethics to contemporary life is, as John Barton concedes, an uphill task. For many Christians today - let alone those with no religious commitment - to find some way of accommodating them into a coherent moral system by which to live in this new century and millennium seems at best implausible and at worst ridiculous or even immoral. However, Barton is convinced that in many aras of ethical enquiry the Old Testament has much to teach us. He looks again at the Ten Commandmens; the narrative about David and his children; the ethical issue of ecology; sexual morality and proprty; human morality as the express command of God; and the motivation for moral conduct. An additional chapter offers some fresh views about the value of Old Testament ethics in general. By the end of the book it is clear that although the Old Testament comes to us from a remote, alien and apparently unsophistocaled context, the powerful minds who worked on its books still have things to say which remain evocative and suggestive for our moral enquiries. John Barton is Oriel and Lain Professor of the Interpretation of Holy Scripture in the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Oriel College. He is the author of many books, including The Spirit and the Letter, and he edited the Cambridge Companion to the Old Testament.

The province of Parma makes up the western half of Emilia-Romagna, the only region Italians from other places concede has food as good as their own. With its sophisticated city cuisine and the simpler, heartier fare from Val Taro in the heart of the Apennines, Parma offers a deep and varied cooking style. World famous for two glorious products - prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese - Parma also boasts rice and corn which are turned into endless dishes of risotto and polenta; wild mushrooms, celebrated both fresh and dried; a rich bounty of fresh fruit and vegetables; and superior meats, poultry, game, and freshwater fish.The area is known for countless culinary achievements such as its delicate filled pastas; savory vegetable tortas; unique minestre, which in Parma are nearly as thick as stews; and bollito misto, the renowned boiled dinner and its traditional condiments that can be traced back to the Etruscans.

Excerpt from The History of Brazil, From the Period of the Arrival of the Braganza Family in 1808, to the Abdication of Don Pedro the First in 1831, Vol. 1 of 2He is quite willing to concede that the circum stance of his having been a foreigner in Brazil, may occasionally have proved an obstacle to his entering fully into the Spirit of his theme yet he hopes it will be borne in mind that this circum stance also has had a tendency to prevent his being unduly biassed in behalf of any faction. Perhaps contemporary history can in some instances be best written by a foreigner, since he can associate with, and enter into the feel ings of all parties without partaking their pas Sions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The tragedy that overtook and continues to befall on Muslims in the shape of the destruction of their independence and power would have been sufficient to kill their will to live, were it not for a group of fighters who refuse to concede that slavery can be the destiny of Muslims. Muslims have continuously nurtured the sentiment of Jihad in their hearts. Imam Shamil's story of jihad against the Russians is a part of the same story. Little is known of the Muslims of Chechnya and the occupation of their lands by the Tsarist Russian invaders. The Sufi movement in the Caucasus in the eighteenth century was not a Muslim cult occupied merely in chanting God's praise: their jihad movement led by Imam Shamil is an epic story of faith in God and a legacy that Muslims cherish, to be retold from generation to generation.

During WWII the air forces and pilots of the countries allied to Germany played a greater role than historians concede. In this volume, the author has gathered an enormous amount of information on the air forces of eight countries and the various foreign airmen (including Russian) who fought with the Luftwaffe. Their operations, mostly carried out in conditions of numerical inferiority, their successes and failures, as well as the motivation of these aircrew and their often tragic fate are fully incorporated into this comprehensive account.

But Loukas needs more...a wife who is doting in public. And the only way to make that arrangement appear authentic is if she's his willing bride in private...

"Enough absorbing science to concede that plants continue to inspire and amaze us." ―The Wall Street JournalHow does a Venus flytrap know when to snap shut? Can it feel an insect's tiny, spindly legs? And how do cherry blossoms know when to bloom? Can they remember the weather? For centuries we have marveled at plant diversity and form―from Charles Darwin's early fascination with stems to Seymour Krelborn's distorted doting in Little Shop of Horrors. But now, in What a Plant Knows, the renowned biologist Daniel Chamovitz presents an intriguing and scrupulous look at how plants themselves experience the world―from the colors they see to the schedules they keep. Highlighting the latest research in genetics and more, he takes us into the inner lives of plants and draws parallels with the human senses to reveal that we have much more in common with sunflowers and oak trees than we may realize. Chamovitz shows how plants know up from down, how they know when a neighbor has been infested by a group of hungry beetles, and whether they appreciate the Led Zeppelin you've been playing for them or if they're more partial to the melodic riffs of Bach. Covering touch, sound, smell, sight, and even memory, Chamovitz encourages us to consider whether plants might even be aware. A rare inside look at what life is really like for the grass we walk on, the flowers we sniff, and the trees we climb, What a Plant Knows offers us a greater understanding of botany and science and our place in nature.
