Book Description
The spirit in man causes self-evaluation, reflection and ultimately the search for meaning and lifes purpose. It is the empowering energy of humanity to seek and allow many to find the love of God that surpasses all reasoned understanding. Our lifes journey is replete with mountains. The moments on mountain peaks are times for discovery and choices, conveying a lifetime process of spiritual identity and transformation. In CLIFFHANGERS, examples are offered from the Scriptures of individuals experiencing time at the pinnacle of the mountain, the questions they may have pondered and the outcome of their allotted time on the cliff: To show that every choice results in decisions which affect eternal security; To encourage you to focus on every choice by seeking God for the decision (Prov. 3:5-6); To develop a sincere and unyielding attitude regarding your relationship with God; To place this natural life and all things related to it into proper perspective (II Tim. 4:7); and To learn that all choices lead to a place of decision and all circumstances following each decision can be associated with advancement, neutrality or even decline in spiritual growth. The intended audience is anyone struggling with the complexity of life choices or in need of guidance with a life changing decision.

Constitutional Cliffhangers
Author: Brian C. Kalt
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300178018
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
The United States Constitution's provisions for selecting, replacing, and punishing presidents contain serious weaknesses that could lead to constitutional controversies. In this compelling and fascinating book, Brian Kalt envisions six such controversies, such as the criminal prosecution of a sitting president, a two-term president's attempt to stay in power, the ousting of an allegedly disabled president, and more. None of these things has ever occurred, but in recent years many of them almost have. Besides being individually dramatic, these controversies provide an opportunity to think about how constitutional procedures can best be designed, interpreted, and repaired. Also, because the events Kalt describes would all carry enormous political consequences, they shed light on the delicate and complicated balance between law and politics in American government.

Winner of the Nebula and Hugo Awards, David Brin brings his bestselling Uplift series to a magnificent conclusion with his most imaginative and powerful novel to date--the shattering epic of a universe poised on the brink of revelation...or annihilation.

Hook, Line, and Cliffhanger
Author: A. J. Sieling
Publisher: Ariele Sieling
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
Cliffhangers get a bad rap from the reading community. They moan and complain and say that they hate them with a passion! But from a writer's perspective, cliffhangers are little more than a tool for suspense, right? So how do we craft endings to our fiction novels that are exciting and suspenseful (and yes, sometimes leave information out!), but that don't enrage our readers? The answer to creating suspense is finding that balance between what to share and what to hide; it's about careful and strategic placement of details. In Hook, Line, and Cliffhanger, delve into the intricacies of effective (and ineffective!) cliffhanger endings. It will identify different types of endings that are often considered cliffhangers by readers, and discuss when to use them, when not to use them, and how to do so most impactfully. In addition, this book will go over the different types of book series, to better understand how to keep your reader turning page after page late into the night—and then grabbing the next book in the series as soon as they finish the first. Learn how to shove your readers over the edge of that suspenseful cliff, and have them enjoy the fall.

Ten to Win . . . And the Last Man In
Author: Henry Blofeld
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton
ISBN: 1529359961
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
'Is there anything in sport to compare with the sustained excitement of a cricket match, especially a Test match, in which the advantage continually fluctuates one way and then the other, and when the match enters its last few minutes, all four results are still possible?' After entertaining countless radio listeners around the world for decades, who better to convey the breathless drama of a Test match cliffhanger than Henry Blofeld? Now, in Ten to Win . . . and the Last Man In, he has personally selected thirty matches featuring unforgettable finishes and brought them vividly to life again in his own inimitable way. Ranging from the match-winning bowling of F.R. Spofforth against W.G. Grace's England in 1882, via the first tied Test between Benaud's Australia and Worrell's West Indies in 1960, to the never-say-die batting of Ben Stokes in 2019, he picks out the key events and performances of each memorable match and describes them as only he can. Alongside the big-hitting heroics of Jessop in 1902 and Botham in 1981, he revisits less celebrated matches such as South Africa's hard-fought first Test win in 1906, as well as a crucial innings from Denis Compton in 1948 and a match-saving performance by a young Alan Knott in Guyana in 1968 - one of the most exciting matches he has ever witnessed first-hand. Filled with colourful detail and informed by insight gained from a lifetime immersed in the sport he loves, Henry Blofeld's latest book will leave the reader in no doubt - as he himself puts it - about 'what an absurdly irresistible game cricket can be'.
