Heaven Is the Home You've Been Waiting For In this world of fear, trials, and loneliness we often feel adrift--like we're still searching for a place where we can truly make ourselves at home. There's a longing for something more, something that makes us feel like we belong, something that resonates perfectly with who we were made to be. This longing is no small thing to be brushed off and forgotten--it's a guidepost letting us know we were made for another world. Earth is not our home. But it's close. What we long for is the new earth, the place God has been preparing for our eternity with him. In Home, Elyse Fitzpatrick explores heaven and the afterlife, demonstrating that our final destination is not some dull, featureless space in the clouds, but rather a perfected earth. It's a real, physical place that we'll explore with real bodies. A place of beauty and wonder and free of all death and decay. No need to chase a bucket list. On the new earth there will be no end of glorious sites and amazing activities, and we'll never run out of time to do them all. Includes questions for group discussion.

Other People's Myths celebrates the universal art of storytelling, and the rich diversity of stories that people live by. Drawing on Biblical parables, Greek myths, Hindu epics, and the modern mythologies of Woody Allen and soap operas, Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty encourages us to feel anew the force of myth and tradition in our lives, and in the lives of other cultures. She shows how the stories of mythology—whether of Greek gods, Chinese sages, or Polish rabbis—enable all cultures to define themselves. She raises critical questions about the way we interpret mythical stories, especially the way different cultures make use of central texts and traditions. And she offers a sophisticated way of looking at the roles myths play in all cultures.
Get ready for top-drawer delivery, as You're Havin' a Laugh laces up its boots and races up the wing to bend in cross after cross of perfect football banter, including... the funny: 'I love Blackpool; we're very similar - we both look better in the dark' - Ian Holloway the plain stupid: 'Whichever team scores more goals usually wins' - Michael Owen and the genuinely deranged: 'It's not fair to say Lee Bowyer's a racist; he'd stamp on anyone's head' - Rodney Marsh ...to tell the story of the beautiful game, through the hilarious (sometimes intentionally, sometimes not) words, actions and (mis)behaviours of your favourite players, managers, commentators and pundits. It is the perfect gift for lads and dads, plus football fans of all teams, everywhere and anywhere. Back of the net!
