An Instant New York Times BestsellerUSA Today BestsellerBestselling author John Bevere challenges Christians to take a fresh and honest look at one of the most often misunderstood and avoided truths of the Christian faith—the second coming of Jesus. Through personal testimony, biblical accuracy, and practical guidance, readers will be inspired to live a life of spiritual vigilance as they prepare for the glorious return of our King. If Jesus were to return tomorrow, would you be read? n The King Is Coming, John Bevere discusses why the Second Coming is both relevant and critical for the Christian faith. Other than salvation, it's the second most discussed topic both in the New Testament and by early church fathers in the first three centuries. More than a book about prophecy, this life-changing guide will help believers live fully prepared for Christ's return while transforming the way we love, serve, and glorify God. Bevere recounts his personal shift from avoiding eschatology to fully recognizing its significance. Witnessing the misuse and division caused by End Time teachings initially led him away from the topic, but through the Holy Spirit's guidance and a deeper study of Scripture, Bevere's heart and life were transformed. Through extensive references to prophetic Scriptures, the book explores many of the over three-hundred New Testament mentions of Jesus’ return, providing a foundation that will help readers:Live in awe of the Creator of the universe who holds time in His hands. Grow in holiness, compassion, purpose, and gain a closer relationship with God. Live with an eternal outlook, inspiring a sense of hope, urgency, and mission. Avoid division by focusing on the transformative power of our reigning King. Discover an eschatology that replaces fear and alarmism with true hope.  Through personal testimonies and a close examination of Scripture, John offers readers spiritual truths, insight, encouragement, and practical steps to develop a readiness shaped by faith and obedience. And as with The Awe of God, each chapter will close with his 5 P's: Passage, Point, Ponder, Prayer, and Profession. The King Is Coming is both a wake-up call, faith builder, and a source of hope for Christian men and women seeking to deepen their relationship with Christ and prepare for His glorious return.

‘Like those who came before me, I arrived as an outsider, but the island does not allow one to remain separate for long. It takes root and leaves a mark you cannot shake.’Lesley Bond and her partner Gordon were the first couple to embark on the six-month caretaking residency on the Great Blasket Island, one of Ireland’s most remote and historically rich locations. With no electricity, hot water or modern conveniences, their daily existence was like nothing they had experienced, and echoes of the past remained ever-present. As well as chronicling their encounters, Lesley delves into the lives of the island’s last inhabitants and the circumstances that led to their evacuation in the 1950s. A unique blend of personal reflection and historical context, Blasket Bound reveals how the past continues to shape the present. It is an exploration of identity, illustrating how the environments we inhabit and the histories we inherit leave an indelible mark.

A globetrotting, laugh-out-loud funny history for grown-ups from the multi-million copy bestselling author. It is a truth universally acknowledged that the rich and powerful always look after their own and the working people are always revolting. But every now and again, a new group actually manages to seize power, and it changes history. In his new book, Revolting, bestselling Horrible Histories author Terry Deary takes readers on a hilarious and eye-opening journey through some of the most significant rebellions and uprisings that have happened through the ages, including:Ivaylo, the Bulgarian swineherd who managed to fight off the Mongols, slay the Tsar and marry his widow in the space of a year. Spartacus, a touch more modest in his aims, who mainly wanted to go home to see his mum. The two suffragists who posted themselves by Royal Mail to see the prime minister (a first-class idea, though Downing Street declined the parcel). From the peasants to the slaves, the martyrs to the mutineers, Revolting celebrates the resilience and determination of those who dared to challenge the status quo through the ages.

But when her father collapses due to his declining health, Siying realizes that even she is not free from the cruel grasp of mortality.

But the moment Siying places her talisman on the dead prince's head, the prince comes back to life.

A blazing novel following a young woman on a wild, hallucinogenic quest for love and selfhood in San Francisco's seedy underground. Baby is a dancer at a strip club and at the age of 27, she's feeling lost. It seems that only Dino, her sweet, cross-dressing, drug-dealing ex-boyfriend can keep her afloat. So, when Dino disappears without so much as a kiss goodbye, she plunges headfirst into San Francisco's shady erotic underground to find him. Baby searches through dive bars and old haunts, at the club and at the sex dungeon where she has a part-time dominatrix gig. She encounters clients like Simon, a recluse paying her for increasingly bizarre 'favours' and a philosophizing suicide fetishist named 'Nobody', as well as co-workers like Emeline, the balletic new hire who seems to want to steal Baby's whole identity, starting with her underwear. It's not long before she starts to find cryptic notes hidden in her belongings and realises her search is attracting the wrong kind of attention. With her grip on reality loosening and the clock ticking, will Baby manage to put together the pieces and find the only man she's ever loved? Or might her past catch up with her first? Manically smart, brutally funny and deeply sexy, Soft Core is a book about desire, fantasy and true love - like no other.

Třetí sbírka Davida Vody (nar. 1976), básníka a historika umění, je jako spirála, která se napíná, smršťuje, roste. Jeho poezie pulzuje od hmotného k duchovnímu a zpět. Lze jí propadnout jako papírovým dnem. Vidět ji v barevných kostkách poskládaných na holé zemi. Slyšet ji v altu hortenzií. Dotýkat se jí, když kráčíš po dně vrásky kolem milovaných úst. David Voda ve své Manitobě tvoří vše nové. Z nápisů tužkou po bílé stěně, z ladění zvonů, bzukotu pump, bobulí pámelníku, ze světla, v němž žijeme. Manitoba je v řeči kmene Krí místo, kde se prérie úží, aby duch prošel uchem jehly. Mezi životem a smrtí je trhlina, předkové přicházejí, aby pojedli z našich talířů, a mizejí syti našimi úlitbami. Kosmem zní jazyk jako chůze, láme bochníky sněhu, drtí skořápky popelavých vajec. Do úžiny ducha lze vstoupit odkudkoli, jen položit klepadla na své spánky.

'This book is an absolute joy. Easy to read, it takes you on a journey covering all the important angles. I will be recommending it to my patients who want to better understand their allergies.' Adam Fox OBE, professor of paediatric allergy and Chair of the National Allergy Strategy Do you live with a constantly runny nose, an itchy throat and sore eyes? Maybe you have eczema or get rashes from contact with allergens? Perhaps you or your children carry emergency adrenaline because an allergic reaction could be life-threatening? If so, you're definitely not alone: between a third and half of all UK adults will experience allergies at some point during their lifetime and the numbers are rising. We are more allergic now than we have been at any other time in history. * Peanut or tree nut allergy now runs at 1 in 70 children, versus 1 in 250 in 1997* Hospital admissions for anaphylaxis went up 174 per cent in the UK between 1998 and 2018* Around 21 million people have allergies in this country, but we have fewer than 80 adult and paediatric allergy specialist doctors * Children who grow up in deprived households are more likely to have allergies, asthma and eczema and for their symptoms to be severe* More than 80 per cent of people living with allergies say that it adversely affects their mental healthIrritated looks at why allergies have become so prevalent in recent years and asks whether there is anything we can do to stop more people developing them and help those who already have allergies to cope. Journalist Rebecca Seal writes about the difference between allergies and intolerances, the role of gut health and microbes in the development of allergies, how deprivation increases the risk of allergies and can make the experience of having them much worse, and offers practical strategies for managing both allergy symptoms and the anxiety which can come with them. Allergy is a complex and under-funded area of medicine, and there are few books out there to support families and adults living with allergies. This book provides the answers and information that people with allergies need, while making the science accessible and easy to understand.

Does gaining power, possessions, and popularity lead to happiness and fulfillment? Or does inner transformation and self-sacrificial love bring the most joy and satisfaction? New York Times bestselling author Kathie Lee Gifford and scholar Bryan Litfin dive into these questions by bringing the stories of Nero and Paul to life in this creative nonfiction tale and identifying how these moral questions can be applied to modern Christian life. Centuries ago, against the backdrop of Roman domination and decadence, a rabbi-turned-evangelist challenged the ideology of an immoral emperor. Two competing messages clashed—and they were messages that echo into our modern world. One voice says, Do what feels good. Gain more influence. Focus on yourself and build your own kingdom. Another says, Live for something beyond yourself—something eternal. Carry out your God-given mission, no matter the cost. Follow your King to the end of the world if you must . Only then will you truly live. Combining historical accuracy with narrative imagination, Nero and Paul drops you into the drama of human pride and divine destiny that unfolded on the stage of imperial Rome. You'll travel with Paul as he ventured from Jerusalem all the way to Spain, making friends, winning converts, and persisting through grueling opposition. You'll see up close Nero's kingdom of wealth, glamour, sex, and power—the proud trappings of a self-proclaimed god. In contrast, Paul boldly offered what the world desperately needed: the Messiah's life-giving good news of God's presence indwelling his people. Though this epic clash of worldviews led to bloodshed and death, the crown of eternal life triumphed over the laurel wreaths of Rome—just as the light of Jesus triumphs over the darkness of the world in every age. Don't miss this ancient story with a timeless message that reverberates across the centuries and will light the fire of your faith today.
