Nine Ways to Walk Around a Boulder
We all face challenges in our lives that seem like boulders - immovable objects that stop us achieving our goals. They can be anything from being nervous when facing a room full of people we don't know, to delivering bad news, clear up a misunderstanding or apologize when we have been in the wrong. All too often we react to these boulders by avoiding them or pushing and shoving in the hopes of shifting them, though deep down inside we know that shoving didn't work last time and it isn't going to work now. In Nine Ways to Walk Around a Boulder, Juliet Erickson encourages us to deal with these obstacles, work around what we can't walk through and make real changes in our lives. With chapters including 'If you don't ask, you don't get', 'Fix the Physical', Getting the message across' and 'Confrontation is an invitation', she use examples from her 25 years' experience of coaching people to communicate effectively to offer a unique blend of up-to-the-minute communication techniques couples with a real understanding of human nature. This book will address boulders that many of us have difficulty shifting and offer refreshing and surprising ways to walk around them.
Zeroville
The novel that inspired the film starring James Franco and Seth Rogen: “One of a kind . . . a funny, unnervingly surreal page turner” (Newsweek). Named one of the Best Books of the Year by the Washington Post Book World, Newsweek, and the Los Angeles Times Book Review Zeroville centers on the story of Vikar, a young architecture student so enthralled with the movies that his friends call him “cinéautistic.” With an intensely religious childhood behind him, and tattoos of Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift on his head, he arrives in Hollywood—where he’s mistaken for a member of the Manson family and eventually scores a job as a film editor. Vikar discovers the frames of a secr...

Agincourt
Agincourt took place on 25 October 1415 and was a turning-point not only in the Hundred Years War between England and France but also in the history of weaponry. Azincourt (as it is now) is in the Pas-de-Calais, and the French were famously defeated by an army led by Henry V. Henry V's stunning victory revived England's military prestige and greatly strengthened his territorial claims in France. The exhausted English army of about 9,000 men was engaged by 20,000 Frenchmen, but the limited space of battle favoured the more compact English forces. The undisciplined charges of the French combined with the exceptional skill of the English archers contributed to a pivotal moment in European warfare. Not more than 1,600 English soldiers died; the French probably lost more than 6,000 men. Juliet Barker's shimmeringly brilliant narrative commemorates and analyses a canonical battle in British history.
Truth or Consequences
A 2002 Christianity Today Book of the Year! Postmodernism. The term slowly filtered into our vocabularies about three decades ago and now permeates most discussions of the humanities. Those who tout the promises and perils of this twentieth-century intellectual movement have filled many a bookshelf. And in a previous book, Postmodernizing the Faith: Evangelical Responses to the Challenge of Postmodernism, Millard J. Erickson provided his own summary of several evangelical responses--both positive and negative--to the movement. Now in this book Erickson offers his own promised in-depth analysis and constructive response. What are the intellectual roots of postmodernism? Who are its most prominent exponents? What can we learn from their critique of modernism? Where do their assumptions and analyses fail us? Where do we go from here? What might a post-postmodernism look like? Erickson addresses these issues with characteristic discernment, clarity and evenhandedness, neither dismissing the insights of postmodern thought nor succumbing uncritically to its allure. An important book for all who are concerned with commending Christian truth to the culture within which we live.
