Book excerpt: I'm in danger and not just from my extremely handsome, cocky, billionaire captor. It's surprising how quickly a normal life can unravel. Kidnapped on my way home from the airport, I was taken to him. Lucas Emiliano--the Casino King. Tall, dark and handsome doesn't even begin to describe a man of extremes. A paradox, cruel and detached one minute and full of emotion the next. Strong.Possessive. Dominant. He wants answers and I'm going nowhere until he has them. It turns out something was stolen from him. Something that earned me not just money but so much heat they sent a devil to guide me through the flames. At times like this running is the only answer, but it appears he has other ideas. A King takes what he wants, and he wants me and I'm now his prisoner, locked in a gilded cage. I don't want to be attracted to him, but I am and I don't want my heart to race and my body to shiver with desire when it sees him, but it does. Then something happens that changes everything. Now it's not just about my survival, it's about much more than that. Will earning my freedom be a price I'm unwilling to pay?

Download or read book Beg Steal Borrow written by Robert Shore and published by Laurence King Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Art is theft," Picasso once proclaimed, and much of the best and most "original" new art involves an act or two of unequivocal, overt theft. Paradoxically, the law relating to artistic borrowing has grown more restrictive. "The plagiarism and copyright trials of the twenty-first century are what the obscenity trials were to the twentieth century," Kenneth Goldsmith, has observed. "These are really the issues of our time." Beg, Steal and Borrow offers a comprehensive and provocative survey of a complex subject that is destined to grow in relevance and importance. It traces an artistic lineage of appropriation from Michelangelo to Jeff Koons, and examines the history of its legality from the sixteenth century to now.

Download or read book Illusion written by Arlene Hill and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-07-14 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illusion is a thing that is wrongly perceived or interpreted by the senses. Magicians use illusion, as do movie makers and production lighting technicians; we expect those illusions. What we tend to forget is that people also emit illusion. Take the illusion of Perfect Patricia who turned out to be not quite so perfect; or her nondescript boring husband, Buford, who was not quite as nondescript or boring as everyone thought. Okay, take me, average Kory Trumble, small town librarian, who is actually not as average as I thought. And I don't even want to begin to discuss the illusion that was Tyler Ross, cousin to boring Buford. Is nobody what they seem to be? Probably not. Oh, wait, Beau and Tiffany, progeny of Perfect Patricia and Boring Buford, were exactly what they seemed to be. After all, children under six are too innocent and real to perpetuate illusion. Wouldn't life be simpler if we didn't feel it necessary to hide behind our illusive selves?

Download or read book Knocked Down written by Aileen Weintraub and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2022-03 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A laugh-out-loud memoir about a free-spirited, commitment-phobic Brooklyn girl who, after a whirlwind romance, finds herself living in a rickety farmhouse, pregnant, and faced with five months of doctor-prescribed bed rest because of unusually large fibroids. Aileen Weintraub has been running away from commitment her entire life, hopping from one job and one relationship to the next. When her father suddenly dies, she flees her Jewish Brooklyn community for the wilds of the country, where she unexpectedly falls in love with a man who knows a lot about produce, tractors, and how to take a person down in one jiu-jitsu move. Within months of saying “I do” she’s pregnant, life is on track, and then wham! Her doctor slaps a high-risk label on her uterus and sends her to bed for five months. As her husband’s bucolic (and possibly haunted) farmhouse begins to collapse and her marriage starts to do the same, Weintraub finally confronts her grief for her father while fighting for the survival of her unborn baby. In her precarious situation, will she stay or will she once again run away from it all? Knocked Down is an emotionally charged, laugh-out-loud roller-coaster ride of survival and growth. It is a story about marriage, motherhood, and the risks we take.

Download or read book Daniel written by Jay Edwards and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-11-30 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born into a farming family in Indiana, Jay Edwards, along with his wife and family, has been a missionary and agricultural businessman in South America since 1987. Challenged by the difficulty of dealing first-hand with decisions pertaining to bribes, extortion, threats, unfair bidding processes, political favoritism, blackmail, kickbacks, and other unethical practices, Edwards realized that the Daniel of the Bible, in all probability, faced these issues also. If God could guide Daniel in ancient Babylon, the cradle of perversity, then He could surely guide the author through the labyrinth of politically charged ethical dilemmas so often encountered in South American bureaucracy. How did Daniel do it? How can one adhere to Christian values in a corrupt world? How does one determine the most expedient path when choosing the lesser of the evils? This fast-paced historical fiction poses possible solutions for Daniel and his friends. The book includes as an appendix, Issues Daniel Faced, which provides interesting questions and themes which may be used as a discussion guide for similar issues in our world today.

The Becoming A King Study Guide is an invitation to enter a rare and remarkable fellowship of like-hearted men. It's a call to have honest conversations about what power and responsibility look like for men in our world today. It's a journey to rediscover your kingship in Christ and the narrow path that leads to this inner transformation. In this six-session video Bible study, journey with Morgan into a process that helps men discover and recover: Our true courage Our vulnerability God's design and desire to empower us in his Kingdom. It is God's intention to entrust us to participate in the ongoing creativity of the universe. Yet, even a glance at our history and the world around us shows that the story of most men who are entrusted with power is a story of self-harm and harm of those under their care. What's gone wrong? When can you entrust a man with power as God intended? When we take a deeper look at the external problems around us, we begin to see that the problems lie rooted within our own souls. Despite that, there is hope. Curated and distilled over more than two decades, and mined from the lives of over seventy-five sages who have gone before us, Morgan shares what he discovered: an ancient and reliable path to restoring the heart of a man and becoming the kind of man who can wield power for good. This study includes video notes, group discussion questions, and between-session personal study for each session. Sessions include: Becoming Powerful Becoming a Son Becoming the Man You Were Born to Be Becoming a Generalist The Way of Becoming Becoming a King Designed for use with the Becoming a King Video Study (9780310115267), sold separately.

Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author and Newbery Honor recipient Steve Sheinkin gives young readers an American history lesson they'll never forget in the fun and funny King George: What Was His Problem?: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About the American Revolution, featuring illustrations by Tim Robinson. A Bank Street Best Children’s Book of the Year A New York Public Library 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing What do the most famous traitor in history, hundreds of naked soldiers, and a salmon lunch have in common? They’re all part of the amazing story of the American Revolution. Entire books have been written about the causes of the American Revolution. This isn't one of them. What it is, instead, is utterly interesting, ancedotes (John Hancock fixates on salmon), from the inside out (at the Battle of Eutaw Springs, hundreds of soldiers plunged into battle "naked as they were born") close-up narratives filled with little-known details, lots of quotes that capture the spirit and voices of the principals ("If need be, I will raise one thousand men, subsist them at my own expense, and march myself at their head for the relief of Boston" --George Washington), and action. It's the story of the birth of our nation, complete with soldiers, spies, salmon sandwiches, and real facts you can't help but want to tell to everyone you know. “For middle-graders who find Joy Hakim’s 11-volume A History of US just too daunting, historian Sheinkin offers a more digestible version of our country’s story...The author expertly combines individual stories with sweeping looks at the larger picture—tucking in extracts from letters, memorable anecdotes, pithy characterizations and famous lines with a liberal hand.”—Kirkus Reviews Also by Steve Sheinkin: Bomb: The Race to Build—and Steal—the World's Most Dangerous Weapon The Notorious Benedict Arnold: A True Story of Adventure, Heroism & Treachery The Port Chicago 50: Disaster, Mutiny, and the Fight for Civil Rights Undefeated: Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football Team Most Dangerous: Daniel Ellsberg and the Secret History of the Vietnam War Which Way to the Wild West?: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About Westward Expansion Two Miserable Presidents: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About the Civil War Born to Fly: The First Women's Air Race Across America

Download or read book Steal This Country written by Alexandra Styron and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A walk-the-walk, talk-the-talk, hands-on, say-it-loud handbook for activist kids who want to change the world! Inspired by Abbie Hoffman's radical classic, Steal This Book, author Alexandra Styron's stirring call for resistance and citizen activism will be clearly heard by young people who don't accept "it is what it is," who want to make sure everybody gets an equal piece of the American pie, and who know that the future of the planet is now. Styron's irreverent and informative primer on how to make a difference is organized into three sections: The Why, The What, and The How. The book opens with a personal essay and a historic look at civil disobedience and teenage activism in America. That's followed by a deep dive into several key issues: climate change, racial justice, women's rights, LGBTQIA rights, immigration, religious understanding, and intersectionality. Each chapter is introduced by an original full page comic and includes a summary of key questions, interviews with movers and shakers--from celebrities to youth activists--and spotlights on progressive organizations. The book's final section is packed with how-to advice on ways to engage, from group activities such as organizing, marching, rallying, and petitioning to individual actions like voting with your wallet, volunteering, talking with relatives with different viewpoints, and using social activism to get out a progressive message. This is a perfect book for older middle-schoolers and teens who care about the planet, the people with whom they share it, and the future for us all.
