The Chosen 40 dni z Jezusem cz.1
Amanda Jenkins
40-dniowe studium biblijne oparte na przełomowym serialu The Chosen. Zobacz Jezusa oczami ludzi, których poruszył. Zuchwały rybak. Opętana kobieta. Pobożny przywódca religijny. Nieuczciwy poborca podatkowy. Miłość Chrystusa wejrzała na ich słabości i odmieniła ich życie. Każde z czterdziestu przemyśleń zawartych w studium The Chosen, opartych na wersetach z Pisma Świętego, prezentuje wyjątkowe spojrzenie na historie z ewangelii, propozycje modlitwy oraz pytania, które mogą wpłynąć na ciebie tak jak na tych, których Jezus napotkał, gdy był na ziemi. Studium biblijne oparte o Słowo Boże, na podstawie telewizyjnego hitu ,,The Chosen” Amanda Jenkins jest mówczynią i autorką. Napisała cztery książki, w tym „Confessions of a Raging Perfectionist” („Wyznania wściekłej perfekcjonistki”), pamiętnik, który stał się inspiracją dla kobiecych studiów biblijnych i konferencji w całym kraju. Specjalizuje się w pisaniu i nauczaniu o żywej autentyczności w naszej wierze, co było intencją stworzenia tej książki. Mieszka w Chicago z mężem Dallasem oraz czwórką dzieci. Kristen Hendricks jest autorką, artystką, twórczynią projektu artystycznego Small Girl Design. Zanim zilustrowała (dosłownie) to, w jaki sposób Wielki Bóg może działać przez Małą Dziewczynkę, Kristen wielokrotnie doświadczyła prawdy tego przesłania podczas swojej kadencji jako dyrektor wykonawczy organizacji przeciwdziałającej handlowi ludźmi w Afryce Wschodniej. Kristen mieszka w Chicago z dwiema córkami i mężem Joem, gdzie jest orędowniczką na rzecz kobiet, którym wskazuje drogę do Chrystusa. Dallas Jenkins od ponad dwudziestu lat jest filmowcem, a także rozchwytywanym mówcą, blogerem oraz gościem mediów podczas dyskusji na tematy związane z popkulturą i wiarą. Wyprodukował lub wyreżyserował kilkanaście filmów, w tym „What If…” i „Zmartwychwstanie” Gavina Stone’a. Wielki sukces jego krótkich filmów prezentujących Ewangelię z innej perspektywy doprowadził do powstania serialu telewizyjnego „The Chosen”, a także tej książki.
Honoré de Balzac
Two works of 1829 brought Balzac to the brink of success. Les Chouans, the first novel he felt enough confidence about to have published under his own name, is a historical novel about the Breton peasants called Chouans who took part in a royalist insurrection against Revolutionary France in 1799 that occurred in the region between Brittany and Nantes and Balzac places his story in this accurate historic contest. Balzac is one of Frances greatest storytellers and this particular thriller is one of his most spine-tingling ones. In it, an aristocrat, Marie de Verneuil, is sent by Joseph Fouché, the terrible minister of police to seduce and capture their leader, the Marquis de Montauran, known as the Guy (le Gars). She must be helped by a skillful, ambitious and unscrupulous policeman, Corentin. But Marie falls in love with her target...

Anna Katharine Green
Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935), known as the Mother of the Detective Novel, is one of the first American writers of detective fiction. She was recognized for realism and well plotted story of her mystery stories. A tale of two families, betrayal, revenge, and murder, The Circular Story, written in 1902, is still an absorbing and notable work. We highly recommend this book to fans of classic detective fiction!
T.C. Bridges
The bottom of the gorge was filled with old lava, black and fragile, like bottle glass, but the rocks that endlessly rose on both sides on an African night were made of limestone. Everything was still like death. Even the jackal did not cry under the stars. For a while no sound was heard except for the gentle shuffling of Nicks legs as he slowly descended the steep slope. The darkness was terribly frightening for others, but Nick knew the way, and they unconditionally trusted him.
