God doesn’t want to see any part of your life dominated by unwanted circumstances and conditions. So He will give you everything you need by His Spirit to prevail over what tries to take over anything in your life. Discover how you can take spiritual control over the works of the spiritual opponent. By faith, you can live in the best of what God has for you and see other people turn to the Lord as you spiritually dominate by faith. The Bible never describes your faith as being nice and sweet. It must be aggressive if you’re going to see miracles. This is not just for our personal lives, but if we are going to have a great awakening in the nation and get people into the kingdom of God in these end times, we are going to have to dominate spiritually. We cannot allow Satan to do whatever he wants with the souls of the people of this world. This is a three-and-one book: a teaching, prayer, and study guide questions and notes section. Discover how to see God’s best come to your life and to those He calls you to help.

The Nine

A Novel

By: Jeanne McWilliams Blasberg

Hannah Webber fears she will never be a mother, but her prayers are finally answered when she gives birth to a son. In an era of high-stakes parenting, nurturing Sam’s intellect becomes Hannah’s life purpose. She invests body and soul into his development, much to the detriment of her marriage. She convinces herself, however, that Sam’s acceptance at age fourteen to the most prestigious of New England boarding schools overseen by an illustrious headmaster, justifies her choices. When he arrives at Dunning, Sam is glad to be out from under his mother’s close watch. And he enjoys his newfound freedom—until, late one night, he stumbles upon evidence of sexual misconduct at the school and is unable to shake the discovery. Both a coming-of-age novel and a portrait of an evolving mother-son relationship, The Nine is the story of a young man who chooses to expose a corrupt world operating under its own set of rules—even if it means jeopardizing his mother’s hopes and dreams.

Fostering Children's Faith

A Privilege and a Responsibility

By: Jeanne Hall

Fostering faith in children is a shared privilege and responsibility of parents, godparents, and the church community. We promise our children at baptism that we will support them in their faith formation--in the formation of their relationship with God. We need to take this promise seriously. This book is intended to be an accessible and helpful resource for parents and other adults who seek to foster children's faith. This book succinctly explores many ways we can support children's faith formation, including our day-to-day interactions with children, the images of God we share with them, how we pray together, the rituals we create, service opportunities we provide, music we share together, the stories we tell and listen to, our celebration of the sacraments, and more. While this book has a distinctly Roman Catholic orientation, much of the content will be relevant for a wider Christian audience. Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, this book is rooted in the conviction that the God we seek relationship with and that we hope to foster our children's relationship with is one who is infinitely loving, welcoming, and always yearning for deeper connection with us.

Harvest of Fury

By: Jeanne Williams

An Arizona dynasty built on hope and courage reaps the tragic harvest of the Civil War in the second volume of a Spur Award–winning Western romance trilogy. Patrick O’Shea, with the help of the Spanish beauty Socorro and Santiago, the son of a Mexican ranchero and his Apache slave, carved the Rancho del Socorro out of the Arizona wilderness. But when the drums of war rolled west, O’Shea crossed the Great Plains to join the fight against slavery, for he had been a virtual slave, starving in his native Ireland. With O’Shea gone and Socorro dead from childbirth, Talitha must defend the Rancho del Socorro from vicious raiders and greedy speculators. She longs for the Irishman to return and gaze at her with the same passion she feels for him, but the darkly handsome Marc Revier’s devotion keeps her strong in these difficult times, even if she’s unwilling to admit that the man of her dreams may not be the man she needs. For O’Shea’s daughter Caterina, true love appears in the form of James, Talitha’s Apache brother. But when he takes up the cause of his people and becomes the mighty warrior Fierro, he must deny his heart’s desire and leave Caterina, never knowing that she carries his child. A masterful blend of adventure and romance, Harvest of Fury paints an unforgettable portrait of the brave generation who came of age during a tumultuous and exhilarating chapter in the history of the American Southwest.

A Lady Bought with Rifles

By: Jeanne Williams

A beautiful daughter of privilege comes home to a Mexico on the cusp of revolution in this enthralling tale of romance and adventure. Miranda Greenleaf was a little girl when her father, a wealthy mine owner, sent her to his native England to receive a “proper” education. Now seventeen years old, she returns to Sonora two years after her father’s death in a mining accident to attend to her dying Mexican mother. Her new guardian and half-sister, Reina, receives Miranda with hostility and jealous suspicion. When Miranda rescues an Indian girl orphaned and maimed by federal troops, Trace Winslade, Reina’s Texan bodyguard, disobeys his orders and rides through the night to help save Sewa’s life. To escape Reina’s vengeful wrath, Miranda leaves her rightful home and falls into the hands of Court Sanders, a Yankee mine operator known for always getting what he lusts after, be it gold or women. The situation turns from bad to worse when Miranda manages to get away from Sanders but is kidnapped by a band of guerillas who intend to ransom her for rifles. On what might be the last night of her life, surrounded by men who will kill her at dawn if the ransom is not paid, Miranda prays that she might see Trace once more before dying. Brimming with passion, intrigue, and fascinating historical detail, A Lady Bought with Rifles is a stunning achievement from an award-winning, New York Times–bestselling author with “a clear-voiced style that transcends genre” (The Kansas City Star).

By: Jeanne Birdsall

With over one million copies sold, this series of modern classics about the charming Penderwick family from National Book Award winner and New York Times bestseller Jeanne Birdsall is perfect for fans of Noel Streatfeild and Edward Eager. This summer the Penderwick sisters have a wonderful surprise: a holiday on the grounds of a beautiful estate called Arundel. Soon they are busy discovering the summertime magic of Arundel’s sprawling gardens, treasure-filled attic, tame rabbits, and the cook who makes the best gingerbread in Massachusetts. But the best discovery of all is Jeffrey Tifton, son of Arundel’s owner, who quickly proves to be the perfect companion for their adventures. The icy-hearted Mrs. Tifton is not as pleased with the Penderwicks as Jeffrey is, though, and warns the new friends to stay out of trouble. Which, of course, they will—won’t they? One thing’s for sure: it will be a summer the Penderwicks will never forget. Deliciously nostalgic and quaintly witty, this is a story as breezy and carefree as a summer day.

The Day the Bathroom Ceiling Fell

Readers who are homesick for small-town America fifty years ago, when the living was simpler and more family-oriented, will be delighted with these charming memoirs, which are full of humor and pathos, familiar settings, and real-life characters who leap off the page with vitality. Fuller's style is both original in vocabulary and homespun in approach, convincing us that we are there watching her grow up. The relatively uneventful, but extremely human picture she paints with words will capture the imagination of all who remember their own childhoods with longing for the less-complicated, but utterly satisfying life of those times.

Approaches to Teaching the Works of Jack London

By: Jeanne Campbell Reesman

A prolific and enduringly popular author--and an icon of American fiction--Jack London is a rewarding choice for inclusion in classrooms from middle school to graduate programs. London's biography and the role played by celebrity have garnered considerable attention, but the breadth of his personal experiences and political views and the many historical and cultural contexts that shaped his work are key to gaining a nuanced view of London's corpus of works, as this volume's wide-ranging perspectives and examples attest. The first section of this volume, "Materials," surveys the many resources available for teaching London, including editions of his works, sources for his photography, and audiovisual aids. In part 2, "Approaches," contributors recommend practices for teaching London's works through the lenses of socialism and class, race, gender, ecocriticism and animal studies, theories of evolution, legal theory, and regional history, both in frequently taught texts such as The Call of the Wild, "To Build a Fire," and Martin Eden and in his lesser-known works.

This collection features all five New York Times bestselling Penderwicks adventures by National Book Award-winning author Jeanne Birdsall! Follow the Penderwicks' adventures, from a bunny-raising hobby to a dog-walking business, from summer breaks to school days, from unforgettable hijinks to chaotic misadventures--and always, with sisterhood through and through--in this exciting collection: The Penderwicks: This summer the Penderwick sisters discover the magic of a beautiful estate called Arundel. But the best discovery of all is Jeffrey Tifton, son of Arundel's owner, who becomes the perfect companion for their adventures. The Penderwicks on Gardam Street: When Mr. Penderwick's sister decides it's time for him to start dating, the girls come up with the Save-Daddy Plan--a plot so brilliant, so bold, so funny, that only the Penderwick girls could have come up with it. The Penderwicks at Point Mouette: When summer comes around, it's off to the beach for Rosalind . . . and off to Maine for the rest of the Penderwick girls and their old friend, Jeffrey. That leaves Skye as the oldest available Penderwick--a terrifying notion for all, but for Skye especially. The Penderwicks in Spring: Batty is saving up her dog-walking money for an extra-special surprise for her family, which she plans to present on her upcoming birthday. But when some unwelcome surprises make themselves known, the best-laid plans fall apart. The Penderwicks at Last: The Penderwicks return to Arundel this summer, the place where it all began. And better still is the occasion: a good old-fashioned, homemade-by-Penderwicks wedding.

Rastafari Reasoning and the RastaWoman

Gender Constructions in the Shaping of Rastafari Livity

By: Jeanne Christensen

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Rastafari Reasoning and the RastaWoman

Gender Constructions in the Shaping of Rastafari Livity

By: Jeanne Christensen

Rastafari Reasoning and the RastaWoman:Gender Constructions in the Shaping of Rastafari Livity examines the complex ways that gender and race shaped a liberation movement propelled by the Caribbean evolution of an African spiritual ethos. Jeanne Christensen proposes that Rastafari represents the most recent reworking of this spiritual ethos, referred to as African religiosity. The book contributes a new perspective to the literature on Rastafari, and through a historical lens, corrects the predominant static view of Rastafari women. In certain Rastafari manifestations, a growing livity developed by RastaMen eventually excluded women from an important ritual called "Reasoning"—a conscious search for existential and ontological truth through self-understanding performed in a group setting. Restoring agency to the RastaWoman, Christensen argues that RastaWomen, intimately in touch with this spiritual ethos, challenged oppressive structures within the movement itself. They skirted official restrictions, speaking out in public and written forums whenever such avenues presented themselves, and searched for their own truth through conscious intentional self-examination characteristic of the Reasoning ritual. With its powerful, theoretically informed narrative, Rastafari Reasoning and the RastaWoman:Gender Constructions in the Shaping of Rastafari Livity will appeal to students and scholars interested in religious transformation, resistance movements, gender issues, critical race studies, and the history and culture of the English-speaking Caribbean.

Judy Becomes A Bride

By: Jeanne Halsey

18 days. That's all we had from that first night when we heard the prognosis of the surgeon: "It's cancer. All throughout her abdomen." After more tests, we were told "3 to 6 months, if we're lucky." But Judy Gossett was not "lucky" this time - and we had 18 days with her before she breathed her last on December 11, 2003. While the shock and heavy sorrow have faded somewhat in these past 10 years, there still remains a surreal nature to life because Judy - she of the huge personality, the enormous heart, the generous spirit, the wonderful sister who was only one year my senior - is gone from this life forever. In addition to serving as a tribute to Judy, I pray this book will help people who deal with the grief of losing a beloved person - a sister, a brother, a father, a mother, a wife, a husband, a child, a friend - and understand that the Body of Jesus Christ is often "the fellowship of suffering" and is a safe place to find comfort and understanding, to find purpose and meaning.

By: Ken Harrington,Jeanne Harrington

Bondage to the past is not God’s plan for your present When a young elephant is chained up by its trainer, the animal’s initial response is to try and escape.

Once this is “learned”, the trainer can use a simple rope to hold one of the most powerful animals. The same thing happens to many people with their minds. They become used to unhealthy patterns of thinking and destructive memories. Sadly, it becomes embraced as “normal life.” This is not God’s perfect will for you! Authors Ken and Jeanne Harrington provide extensive research and relevant Bible teaching empowering you to experience freedom today by: Understanding how toxic memories negatively impact your physical and spiritual health Exposing the lies you believe about yourself and replace them with transformational Truth Positioning you to live in the love and complete forgiveness of God Reclaim your memories and take your life back!

Twelfth of Never

24 Hours in the Life of Elizabeth, Volume Iii

By: Jeanne Marie Peters,Theresa Austin

Philosophic in nature and breathtaking in scope, this profound trilogy, told in a poetic manner, is reminiscent of literary masterpieces and the conclusion of the novel is remarkable. The main focus of the story surrounds the disappearance of Elizabeth Wells' beloved, John Law, who has either been kidnapped or killed by her crafty father. But the lovers have a sacred secret in their understanding of time and space as illusive and their promise to wait until the 'Twelfth of Never' should they ever be separated. The heroine, Elizabeth, devotes her life to this assurance; she never ages from the night the lovers were separated. There are those who believe she has gone mad; attempts on her life do not deter her devotion as the material sense of time stretches on. The authors are unaware of any other story with the exact and remarkable solution to a mystery.
