IT'S THE REAL THING! AUTHENTIC CHRISTIANITY is powerful. It cannot be imitated.

This is a book about the meanings we make out of pain. The greatest surprise I encountered in discussing this topic over the past ten years was the consistency with which I was asked a single unvarying question: Are you writing about physical pain or mental pain? The overwhelming consistency of this response convinces me that modern culture rests upon and underlying belief so strong that it grips us with the force of a founding myth. Call it the Myth of Two Pains. We live in an era when many people believe--as a basic, unexamined foundation of thought--that pain comes divided into separate types: physical and mental. These two types of pain, so the myth goes, are as different as land and sea. You feel physical pain if your arm breaks, and you feel mental pain if your heart breaks. Between these two different events we seem to imagine a gulf so wide and deep that it might as well be filled by a sea that is impossible to navigate.   

The striking debut novel from award-winning writer Pete FrommAbilene and Austin, a sister and brother frustrated with the small-town Texas life their parents have chosen, turn to each other to escape the story they're all too tired of hearing: their father's unvarying account of "How All This Started"-how he met their mother then settled down in the middle of nowhere.Pinning her dreams on her younger brother, Abilene becomes dead-set on making Austin a pitching star, a "fireballer" like Nolan Ryan. Swept up in her irresistible exuberance, they try, with baseball and firearms, to combat the stagnation of the Texas landscape--so fiercely it's uncertain whether either of them will survive Abilene's manic dreams.Introducing one of the most memorable female characters in contemporary literature, How All This Started portrays with strength and subtlety the visceral bond between a brother and sister.

Excerpt from Three Years of Arctic Service, Vol. 2: An Account of the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition of 1881-84 and the Attainment of the Farthest NorthT is Obvious that our second winter could hardly pass as pleasantly as the first. The novelty of Arctic service had passed with all, while the unvarying routine and wearisome monotony could not but more deeply depress the spirits of the men. The non-arrival of the visiting steamer not only in itself threw a gloom over the party, but it necessitated a restriction in the use of certain articles Of food, and the feeling alone Of being on allowance is irksome to many men. I had carefully preserved for the second year the regulation allowance of vegetables, flour, etc., but had used of these articles the entire margin allowed for wastage and loss, as well as the surplus resulting from the return of three men the preceding year. We had, however, hard bread, salt meats, butter, pickles, milk, eggs, fruits, molasses, tea.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Artful gifts for the home inspired by The Met collection. Enjoy a spot of tea with this all-in-one set for the cat enthusiast. The celebrated graphic artist Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen (French, b. Switzerland, 1859-1923) was evidently fond of felines. He drew cats throughout his long career with unvarying grace and skill-his models were the habitués of Parisian rooftops, streets, cemeteries, and garbage bins around the Montmartre neighborhood where he resided. Their antics are illustrated in the artist's famous book Cats: Pictures without Words (1898), a copy of which is in The Met's Drawings and Prints collection.
