![]() Albert Mohler, Jr., president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, wrote in his blog that " The Shack is a wake-up call for evangelical Christianity." His first book did not come without controversy. In 2006, Young worked with Wayne Jacobsen, Brad Cummings (both former pastors from Los Angeles) and Bobby Downes (filmmaker), to publish the book. He was encouraged by friends who read the book to publish it. The Shack was originally written as a Christmas gift for Young's six children without intending to publish the book. That is a nuance of Cross Roads that is deeper," he said. We're designed to do this in community because we were created inside community for community by community. "We are not designed to do this (life) by ourselves. While both fictional stories, The Shack is more about an individual's spiritual experience, while Cross Roads is about relationship within a community, Young explained. ![]() ![]() The event was co-hosted by the promotional company Brewing Culture and publishers FaithWords. " Cross Roads is a broader story and in some respects it's a better story just because I've grown some," Young told Walden Media president Michael Flaherty during an interview webcast live on Tuesday. ![]() ![]() William Paul Young, best-selling author of The Shack with 18 million copies sold, released his second book, Cross Roads, this week and said that his new book may even be better than his first. ![]()

![]() Shannon is the kind of transcendent, subtle actor who makes you believe in any character he’s playing, whether it’s General Zod trading punches with Superman in “Man of Steel” or, in this case, a man who makes no sense on a surface level. Simone is excited to greet him, even though the man’s terse manner and Forrest-Gumpian naivety don’t line up with her expectations. On a whim, Shriver accepts the invitation despite his conscience and his inability to function in the contemporary world (he has no credit cards, carries his cash in a bag of quarters and doesn’t even own a photo ID). Salinger-type recluse who went off the grid after the book’s publication and has never been photographed, would be a coup for the college and save the festival. ![]() ![]() Simone ( Kate Hudson), the organizer trying to protect the flailing event from budget cuts, thinks she is getting the legendary author Shriver, who wrote a famous novel 20 years ago and has never been seen since. ![]() ![]() ![]() In her nightmares, she cannot see the face of the killer, but her visions match a series of local killings.

In the early 20th century, she allowed women to appear in public, abolished foot binding, lifted the ban on Han-Manchu intermarriage, and decreed that girls should be educated. The constitutional system Cixi initiated, Chang writes, included modern laws - commercial, civil, criminal, and judicial, and the establishment of law schools. ![]() Chang argues that Cixi, the most important woman in Chinese history, “brought a medieval empire into the modern age.” Under Cixi’s rule, China built its first railroads (the Beijing-Canton railroad remains a key artery in today’s economy), installed telegraphs, introduced electricity, steam boats, modern mining, and newspapers, established the state bank, and promoted freedom of religion. The Manchu Empress Dowager Cixi (1835–1908) is generally thought of as a conservative figure in Chinese history, incapable of defending China’s interests in the second half of the 19th century, when China lost its position as the world’s largest economy.Īgainst this broad consensus stands Jung Chang’s lively biography, first published in 2013 and now available as an e-book, that depicts Cixi (pronounced “Tseshi”) as quite the opposite. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But her fresh perspective is sometimes jarring.

All rights reserved Review by School Library Journal Review Illustrator's agent: Lori Nowicki, Painted Words. Author's agent: Joy Harris, Joy Harris Agency. Newcomer Gaines's portraits are often stiff and awkward, but Asim's thoughtful, wide-ranging commentary makes this a useful and accessible resource. A closing section carries readers into the 21st century with Hurricane Katrina, the election of Barack Obama to the presidency, and Black Lives Matter. Asim (Preaching to the Chickens) thoroughly explores influential events, political and social movements, and individuals in African-American history, beginning with the ugly legacy of slavery: "African Americans are the only ethnic group whose ancestors were brought to this country against their will." Moving forward in time, Asim discusses topics that include abolitionism, the Harlem Renaissance, and the civil rights movement highlights African-American activists, artists, and athletes and contextualizes events such as the airing of the 1977 miniseries Roots and the Los Angeles riots. ![]() ![]() Equipped with copies of this inscription, Rawlinson was in an enviable position to tackle decipherment of cuneiform. This was no ordinary inscription, but was written in three languages and three cuneiform scripts, like an enormous Rosetta Stone. Only Rawlinson had the physical and intellectual skills, courage, self-motivation and opportunity to make the perilous ascent and copy the monument. ![]() ![]() The key to understanding the many cuneiform scripts and languages was an immense inscription high on a sheer rock face at Bisitun (or Behistun) in the mountains of western Iran, carved on the orders of King Darius the Great of Persia over 2,000 years ago. A gifted linguist, fascinated by history and exploration, Rawlinson became obsessed with cuneiform, the world’s earliest writing. During this time he survived the dangers of disease and warfare, including the disastrous First Anglo-Afghan War. The book concentrates on the entertaining story of Henry Creswicke Rawlinson, a fearless soldier, sportsman and imperial adventurer of the first rank, who spent twenty-five years in the service of the East India Company. As such, it is an essential read for anyone wanting to understand the historical background of this region in the early- to mid-nineteenth century. ![]() ![]() Empires of the Plain is is a highly topical book, because it is set in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and India. ![]() |
