An even greater delight when they are told well, as is very much the case with Melissa Ashley’s The Birdman’s Wife.Įlizabeth Gould was indeed a remarkable woman. What a delight it is to read stories of historical figures passed over by history probably because they were women. ![]()

He is at his best, however, in explaining and presenting the "near-superhuman courage and endurance" of the combatants. Peter Hart Battlefield Tours Turkish Memorial Helles French Guns W Beach Just returned from Gallipoli I have to say it was a truly fantastic week. Ian Hamilton's on-the%E2%80%93spot fecklessness. Peter Hart Battlefield Tours runs small guided tours to the first world war Gallipoli battlefield in Turkey. Hart excoriates the haphazard romanticism of First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill. The Turkish army, on the other hand, profited from its defeat in the Balkan War of 1911%E2%80%931912 and from its military relationship with Germany the Turkish army won the battle of Gallipoli even more than the Allies lost it, according to Hart. ![]() The often-overlooked French were effective, but poorly used on the Helles front. Troops were poorly trained and badly led. Such alleged strategic benefits as reducing pressure on Russia, says Hart, were largely ephemeral. But the human element still defines this compelling account of an operation Hart dismisses as a "lunacy that never could have succeeded," driven by wishful thinking as opposed to the professional analysis of ends and means. This book depends more on archival work and on recent Turkish and French research than Hart's earlier collaboration with Nigel Steelin, Defeat at Gallipoli. Hart, oral historian of Britain's Imperial War Museum, focuses on the Gallipoli campaign. ![]() ![]() ![]() Those who believe that God is continuing to offer new revelation today deny the sufficiency of Scripture. Even before War Room hit theaters, Bible teacher Erin Benziger expressed her concern in a piece entitled: “True Woman Conference Speaker Priscilla Shirer Hears God’s Still, Small Voice.” Benziger writes: John Lanagan was one of those who warned the brethren of Shirer’s decent into Christian mysticism in a booklet published by Lighthouse Trails. Some bloggers expressed their concerns about her teaching, and rightly so as some of what she teaches is unbiblical. Following her appearance in the hit film War Room, much has been written about her. As such she has influenced many professing Christians, mostly women. ![]() Priscilla Shirer is an actor, author, speaker, and Bible teacher. Posted By Marsha West on Decemin Discernment, Spiritual Formation 0 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Matt is studying the life of Rebecca Sparrow, and his research reveals strange echoes of Rebecca's story in the lives of her descendants. Jenny and Will soon join her, as does Will's brother, Matt, a reclusive scholar, and Stella's best friend, the audacious, jaded Juliet Aronson. When Stella asks her father, Will, to try to prevent a death, he ends up becoming a murder suspect, and her mother sends her to live with Elinor at Cake House, her home in Unity, until the scandal dies down. Brainy and unpopular, Stella chafes at her mother's invasive omniscience while trying to make sense of her own powers. Jenny is recently divorced from Will Avery, a charming but erratic and hard-drinking music teacher she and Stella live in Boston, where Stella is a charity case at the exclusive Rabbit School for girls. And Jenny's 13-year-old daughter, Stella, knows how and when people will die. ![]() Her estranged daughter, Jenny Avery, can divine other people's dreams. Elinor, the dying matriarch of the Sparrow family, has the ability to discern liars. Her present-day descendants possess extraordinary gifts.

The book description comes from the Goodreads website: Today I bring you a review of one of the best books I have read this month! I have been waiting for this book since I finished the first one in the series, Spin The Dawn, and this book was so worth the wait! The final book in this duology is Unravel The Dusk by Elizabeth Lim, and lord is it a doozy. After that, I was stressing about turning in my less than two weeks notice to my job, which today is my last day there! I still have to do a lot, so I may start cutting back the number of posts I do a week, until I can work out a new system. I finished my teaching classes, and found a job as a middle school teacher, which I am very excited about! I was stressing over that because I didn’t have a definite yes, until last week. So, I know I disappeared there for a while, and I apologize, I have just had a lot going on lately. ![]() ![]() ![]() This incredible diversity is a testament to their evolutionary success. ![]() And about a third of them (perhaps as many as 3,600 species) are snakes. Other pages about snakes & reptiles on Active WildĪs far as we know, the world has a little under 10,000 species of reptiles.Barbados threadsnake (Tetracheilostoma carlae).Leptotyphlopids (Family Leptotyphlopidae).Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus).Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox).Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus).On this page you’ll discover the different types of snakes within the suborder Serpentes (the animal group in which all snakes are found)… ![]() Notable snake species include the reticulated python (the world’s longest snake), the Mojave rattlesnake (one of North America’s most dangerous snakes), and the inland taipan, the world’s most venomous snake. Types of snakes include: constrictors such as pythons and boas venomous snakes such as vipers and elapids and non-venomous predators such as colubrids. ![]() ![]() ![]() What a fun, lovely, magical story that Zoraida Córdova has given us in The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina. “When she'd met Orquídea Montoya, she saw a whisper of a girl who wanted to become a scream.” ![]() Determined to save what’s left of their family and uncover the truth behind their inheritance, the four descendants travel to Ecuador-to the place where Orquídea buried her secrets and broken promises and never looked back. But soon, a hidden figure begins to tear through their family tree, picking them off one by one as it seeks to destroy Orquídea’s line. ![]() Seven years later, her gifts have manifested in different ways for Marimar, Rey, and Tatinelly’s daughter, Rhiannon, granting them unexpected blessings. Instead, Orquídea is transformed, leaving them with more questions than answers. But when Orquídea Divina invites them to her funeral and to collect their inheritance, they hope to learn the secrets that she has held onto so tightly their whole lives.

We have to understand the history here - that this space existed as one of the few public spaces where Black men could freely express their manhood and where they could stand straight, look a man in the eye, speak clearly, laugh, tell inside jokes and, for just a moment, be free of fear. He’s claiming his story, while inviting us inside to a tale happening in the barbershop, one of the most revered spaces of African American manhood. There he is with his sly, side-eye glance, though really he looks directly at us. That guy on the first page of the book takes away any reason for fear. To see this picture book that celebrates African American men is really quite remarkable. We searched for books and found very few of them. This was made evident to me several years ago by a white co-worker searching for picture books featuring Black men to read to her young niece, who had expressed a fear of Black men. If you take the time to look through picture books from the United States, you’ll find how rare it is to see an image of a Black man. As indicated visually on the cover, this crown belongs to the men. ![]() The title of the book plays on the old adage that a woman’s hair is her crown. It finally brings us a new book (and the first picture book) from Derrick Barnes, an author of both young adult books and early readers. ![]() ![]() It's possible to only read the Calloway Sisters spin-off series without reading the Addicted series, but you MUST read Fuel the Fire (Calloway Sisters #3) before reading Long Way Down (Calloway Sisters #4).
