Book Description
Ted Loder continues to inspire readers with his powerful prayers, sermons, and reflections. His books speak to the human experience, drawing out the beauty and struggle as we respond to the grace of God. Loder is perhaps best known for Guerrillas of Grace: Prayers for the Battle, which speaks to the battle Christians face against the principalities and powers, where our weapon is prayer. Wrestling the Light: Ache and Awe in the Human-Divine Struggle gives expression to the human struggle to meet God in our daily lives, where God calls and invites us to join him in his grace. While Loder may be recognized for his prayers, The Haunt of Grace: Responses to the Mystery of God's Presence is a book of his sermons from his time as a senior pastor for over forty years. Finally, Tracks in the Straw: Tales Spun from the Manger is Loder's presentation of the birth story of Jesus from different perspectives and voices, helping us to explore the deeper meaning of Christmas. The collection provides the reader with some of Ted Loder's most memorable works with a variety of meditations for reflection.

Book Description
Twin Peaks meets The Dry in a deliciously dark and twisted tale that unravels a small Australian country town. Ambitious young journalist Marlowe ‘Lo’ Robertson would do anything to escape the suffocating confines of her small home town. While begrudgingly covering the annual show for the local newspaper, Lo is horrified to discover the mutilated corpse Lily Williams – the town's reigning showgirl and her best friend. Seven strange symbols have been ruthlessly carved into Lily’s back. But when Lo reports her grisly find to the town’s police chief, he makes her promise not to tell anyone about the symbols. Lo obliges, though it’s not like she has much of a choice – after all, he is also her father. But when Lily’s murder makes headlines around the country and the town is invaded by the media, Lo seizes the opportunity to track down the killer and make a name for herself by breaking the biggest story of her life. What Lo uncovers is that her sleepy home town has been harbouring a deadly secret, one so shocking that it will captivate the entire nation. And it will change the course of her life forever. ‘Addictive … West has a clear ability to spin a complex and compelling thriller. One to watch.’ Australian

The Hidden World of the Fox
Author: Adele Brand
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 006296612X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Discover the hidden world of the fox, as beautifully revealed by an acclaimed ecologist who has studied foxes for two decades across four continents “An ode to this familiar yet mysterious creature. … The sight of foxes can lift Brand's prose into poetry. ... By turns lyrical, salty, funny and scholarly.” —New York Times Book Review The fox. For thousands of years myth and folklore have celebrated its cunning intelligence. Today the red fox is the nature’s most populous carnivore, its dancing orange tail a common sight in backyards. Yet who is this wild neighbor, truly? How do we negotiate this uneasy new chapter of an ancient relationship? Join British ecologist Adele Brand on a journey to discover the surprising secrets of the fabled fox, the familiar yet enigmatic creature that has adapted to the human world with astonishing—some say, unsettling—success. Brand has studied foxes for twenty years across four continents—from the Yucatán rainforest to India’s remote Thar Desert, from subarctic Canada to metropolitan London. Her observations have convinced her that the fox is arguably the most modern of all wildlife, uniquely suited to survival in the rapidly expanding urban/wild interface. Blending cutting-edge science, cultural anthropology, and intimate personal storytelling drawn from her own remarkable fieldwork, The Hidden World of the Fox is Brand’s rich and revelatory portrait of the extraordinary animal she has devoted her life to understanding.
