Book Description
When journalist Erla-Mari Diedericks leaves her husband after an abusive marriage of eight years, her heart is broken, her dreams shattered and her body bruised. Instead of breaking down or turning to self-help books, she shaves off her pubic hair and self-medicates with alcohol, sushi and sex. Botoxed and bewildered, she turns to internet dating, only to find that falling in love is not as easy as she thought it would be. Things take a slippery turn when she gets involved in an underworld of adult sex websites and sex clubs, where alcoholism, sex addiction and suicide become very real possibilities. Sin, Sushi & Survival is the gripping, no-holds-barred story of Erla’s astounding journey.

Surviving Ministry
Author: Michael E. Osborne
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498280285
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
Being a pastor has its rewards and pleasures. But churches can be unsafe places. They are filled with broken, imperfect people. Many ministers of the gospel walk into a church naive about the potential hazards of their vocation. They are vulnerable to difficult people, unresolved conflict, incompatible visions, hidden agendas, mission drift, and sin--their own and that of others. Other pastors feel trapped in a ministry hurricane and don't know what to do. They feel like failures. They're thinking about leaving the ministry. They are looking for help and hope--not from an "expert" detached from the real world of ministry--but from someone who has suffered through church hurricanes and lived to share the story. Moreover, they need to know they are not alone. Surviving Ministry: How to Weather the Storms of Church Leadership includes the author's own story as well as true stories from other pastors who have been in the eye of the hurricane. Discouraged ministers looking for biblical, practical, gospel-centered advice for storm proofing their churches, homes, and hearts have found a friend. Surviving Ministry will equip them to stay resilient before, during, and after seasons of difficulty.

The Ape And The Sushi Master
Author: Frans De Waal
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0786724536
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Mama's Last Hug and Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?, a provocative argument that apes have created their own distinctive cultures In The Ape and the Sushi Master, eminent primatologist Frans de Waal corrects our arrogant assumption that humans are the only creatures to have made the leap from the natural to the cultural domain. The book's title derives from an analogy de Waal draws between the way behavior is transmitted in ape society and the way sushi-making skills are passed down from sushi master to apprentice. Like the apprentice, young apes watch their group mates at close range, absorbing the methods and lessons of each of their elders' actions. Responses long thought to be instinctive are actually learned behavior, de Waal argues, and constitute ape culture. A delightful mix of intriguing anecdote, rigorous clinical study, adventurous field work, and fascinating speculation, The Ape and the Sushi Master shows that apes are not human caricatures but members of our extended family with their own resourcefulness and dignity.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
Failure is never an option, especially for assassins caught in the mire and opposing forces of politics and ideology. While Hahn is in his home making love to a beautiful woman, undercover agents from the Washington DC police department are outside waiting for him. They suspect Hahn is connected to a recent homicide, and they need to figure out how. A hired killer working for a secret society, Hahn races to finish his latest job without getting caught. He is stuck in the isolation of being able to trust no one-not even his partner. Hahn struggles with the rewards and downsides of living a double life as a bartender in a sushi restaurant and an assassin for the Malaysian government. Money is the greatest of the rewards, but playing roulette with one's life is certainly the most depressing downside. While he understands the dual nature of his existence, Hahn believes he is vulnerable enough to lose his mind and soul to the dark epicenter of cruelty and heartlessness that comes with being a hired killer. But in this world of sin and betrayal, there is no room for failure. From Bulgaria to Mexico City to Washington DC, mystery, sex, and violence combine, with suspense woven throughout, in a world where assassins, drug lords, and politicians fight for dominance.
