The Science Behind Who Airlines Bump From a Flight—and How to Exploit It

Read by the author.

Bills pile up. Savings accounts go down. Marriages go south. Pandemics rage. Work goes off the rails. Stress goes off the charts. Suddenly, you feel powerless to calm life's chaos. It's all too much to take on by yourself. But pastor and bestselling author Max Lucado has great news for you—Help Is Here.

Now more than ever, we're all weary from the loads we carry and the challenges we face. We have questions we cannot answer and problems we cannot solve. We'd hoped that life would be an invigorating adventure or an inspiring journey. We never expected to grow so tired so quickly. But Max teaches us that we can find fresh strength and purpose in the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Bible makes more than a hundred references to the Holy Spirit, and Jesus says more about the Spirit than he does about the church, marriage, finances, and the future. But do we really know the Spirit? In Help Is Here, Max will give you the tools and encouragement you need to:

Learn who the Spirit is and how the Spirit can help
Become joyful, enthusiastic, and empowered as you draw closer to God
Confidently take on any difficulty with the power of the Spirit
Discover your unique gifts and purpose to further God's kingdom
Help Is Here reminds us that our Good Shepherd doesn't just feed us; he leads us. He does more than correct us; he directs us. God keeps us on track—and best of all, he's commissioned the Holy Spirit to guide us down the winding roads of life, wherever they may lead us.

No more walking this path alone. No more carrying weight you were not intended to bear. It's time for you to enjoy the presence of the Holy Spirit and experience the vigorous life he offers. You can rest easy knowing that Help Is Here.

HELP IS HERE by Max Lucado | Chapter One

Relationships are wonderful...until they're not.

Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst as she helps you stop the dysfunction of unhealthy relationships by showing you biblical ways to set boundaries--and, when necessary, say goodbye--without losing the best of who you are.

Is it unloving or selfish to set a boundary? Are Christians ever called to walk away from a relationship that’s no longer safe or sustainable? Lysa has asked these hard questions in the midst of her own relational struggles.

But after thousands of life-changing hours of counseling intensives and extensive theological research that transformed the way she defined healthy relationships, Lysa is now more committed than ever to loving people well without compromising her own well-being. In Good Boundaries and Goodbyes, Lysa gives you the tools you need to do the same.

Within these pages, Lysa will help you:

Understand the five factors to remember when implementing healthy boundaries
Determine the appropriate amount of personal and emotional access someone has to you based on how responsible they'll be with that access
Stop being misled and emotionally paralyzed by wrongly interpreted or weaponized scriptures that perpetuate unhealthy dynamics in difficult relationships
Overcome the frustrating cycle of ineffective boundary-setting with realistic scripts and practical strategies to help you communicate, keep, and implement healthier patterns
Be equipped to say goodbye without guilt when a relationship has shifted from difficult to destructive and is no longer sustainable
Along the way, you'll also receive therapeutic wisdom you can trust directly from Lysa's Christian counselor Jim Cress, who weighs in throughout the book. As you understand more about setting healthy boundaries, you'll be relieved to learn that boundaries aren't just a good idea, they're a God idea. If you're ready to gain the biblical wisdom and confidence to finally set boundaries you can keep, let Good Boundaries and Goodbyes be your new go-to guide.

Introduction - We Can't Set Good Boundaries Without Love

1828, 14 år efter Norges frigörelse från det danska väldet, läggs ett rutnät ut över lantbruksmarkerna vid sjön Mjøsens strand, och Mesnaälvens fall, i mynningen till Gudbrandsdalen. En handelskapitalistisk stad, en landstad, den första i Norge i inlandet. Den rurala kulturen får sällskap av den urbana. Storgata växer fram med sin panelarkitektur, hämtad direkt från lantgårdarnas mittgångshus.

Fram växer en stad som är en legering, en blandning av periferi och centrum. En självtillräcklig stad, med integritet. En liten stad, men med stora utblickar. En kulturradikal stad, med fernissade fasader och stökiga bakgårdar, räta rutnät och smala smitvägar.

När staden går in i en industrikris på 1980-talet föds tanken på ett OS. Det tycks omöjligt men det småskaliga och miljövänliga slår in en kil i den stora olympiska rörelsen, det lokala, autentiska, nära verkar lockande 1988. Och för OS rullar in vägrar man Coca Cola och man vänder ryggen åt en fjäskande IOK-president.

Resan till Lillehammer är den första av två om norsk urbanitet och stadsbyggande, nästa avsnitt handlar om Trondheim.

#138 Lillehammer – rutor och ringar

'Sweet and achingly romantic - a truly wonderful love story' Beth O'Leary, author of The Flatshare

From the USA Today bestselling author of The Friend Zone comes an adorable and fresh romantic comedy about one trouble-making dog who brings together two perfect strangers.

Two years after losing her fiancé, Sloan Monroe still can't seem to get her life back on track. But one trouble-making pup with a 'take me home' look in his eyes is about to change everything. With her new pet by her side, Sloan finally starts to feel more like herself. Then, after weeks of unanswered texts, Tucker's owner reaches out. He's a musician on tour in Australia. And bottom line: he wants Tucker back.

Well, Sloan's not about to give up her dog without a fight. But what if this Jason guy really loves Tucker? As their flirty texts turn into long calls, Sloan can't deny a connection. Jason is hot and nice and funny. There's no telling what could happen when they meet in person. The question is: with his music career on the rise, how long will Jason really stick around? And is it possible for Sloan to survive another heartbreak?

Inflation nation: The Fed raises rates, again

Vivons heureux avant la fin du monde (16) : Vite un jardin ! 
En ville, le contact avec la nature se cantonne souvent à l’arrosage de ficus en open space ou la contemplation des ronds6points fleuris. On peut s’en accommoder mais à l’heure où les forêts partent en fumée et la biodiversité en capilotade, il est temps de réfléchir à la pauvreté des rapports que nous entretenons avec les arbres, les plantes, les fleurs, et tout ce qui pousse autour de nous. Peut-on espérer être un tant soit peu à la hauteur de l’urgence écologique si on ne sait même pas faire la différence entre un saule et un frêne ? planter des semis? soigner le mildiou? bichonner un kiwi ? 
Après un été passé à regarder la planète en feu, Delphine Saltel entame une série consacrée à nos désirs de jardin et au besoin vital de changer notre relation au monde vivant. Ce seizième épisode de "Vivons heureux avant la fin du monde" débute par un rembobinage historique en compagnie de la géographe Flaminia Paddeu, qui apporte un éclairage historique sur la disparition progressive des jardins en ville, et le fossé qui s’est ainsi creusé entre les citadins et la nature. Qu’est6ce que cela change d’avoir une parcelle de terre près de chez soi et de s’en occuper ? De profiter d'un espace, privé ou collectif, potager ou botanique, pour développer une relation pratique, physique, profonde avec les écosystèmes ? La biologiste Anne-Caroline Prévot débroussaille les allées vers un jardin politique...

Avec :
Flaminia Paddeu, géographe, maitresse de conférences à l'université Sorbonne Paris Nord et chercheuse au laboratoire Pleïade
Anne-Caroline Prévot, biologiste de la conservation, écologue, directrice de recherches au CNRS

Fractures

Cost of Livin'

A spectacular space opera debut perfect for readers of Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice and Arkady Martine's A Memory Called Empire, inspired by the lives and loves of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar.

LOYALTY, LEGACY AND BETRAYAL...

Princess Altagracia has lost everything. After a bloody civil war, her twin sister has claimed not just the crown of their planet Szayet but the Pearl of its prophecy, a computer that contains the immortal soul of their god. Stripped of her birthright, Altagracia prepares to flee the planet - just as Matheus Ceirran, Commander of the interstellar Empire of Ceiao, arrives in deadly pursuit. Princess Altagracia sees an opportunity to win back her planet, her god, and her throne . . . if she can win over the Commander and his distrustful right-hand officer, Anita.

But talking her way into Commander Matheus's good graces, and his bed, is only the beginning. Dealing with the most powerful man in the galaxy is almost as dangerous as war, and Altagracia is quickly torn between Matheus and the wishes of the machine god that whispers in her ear.

For Szayet's sake, and her own, Altagracia will need to become more than a princess with a silver tongue. She will have to become a queen as history has never seen before - even if it breaks an empire.

'Dazzling, transportive, boundless, precise - and dares to ask, what if Mark Antony was the hottest butch girl in space?' Casey McQuiston

'A glittering triumph that weaves together history and tragedy into a star-spanning epic. I fell into this book and didn't come out for a long time' Everina Maxwell

'Gorgeously written, clever and captivating' Kristyn Merbeth

'Takes the larger-than-life figures of the ancient world and recasts them against a backdrop of drowned worlds and interstellar empires with extraordinary verve' Emily Tesh

'Deftly wields the conventions of science fiction to make old stories new... I did not know I could weep for Antony, love Cleopatra, or lament Caesar, but through Ana, Gracia, and Ceirran, I do' Maya Deane

'Beautifully written, with poise and wit and grand epic sweep, The Stars Undying has everything I want from a space opera' AK Larkwood

"A lush debut; Owens delivers her mystery wrapped in gorgeous, lyrical prose." --Alexandra Fuller, author of Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight How long can you protect your heart? For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life--until the unthinkable happens. Perfect for fans of Barbara Kingsolver and Karen Russell, Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.
