Book of Judas
Book of Judas
Richard Hollands
¥40.79
Philip and Simon Trenchard lost their parents at the age of seven and eight in a road accident, and were brought up by their beloved grandfather, the eminent archaeologist Sir Lawrence. At his funeral, years later, their world is about to be shattered once again – in fact the entire world as we know it faces an Armageddon of unimaginable evil. In Sir Lawrence’s will, he entrusts to the brothers the terrible secret he uncovered in the Holy Lands – some ancient apparently Biblical scrolls. But these were not the testaments of Mathew, Mark or John but of Judas… “The truth was potentially explosive. We had found the map and instructions to the biggest religious discovery of all time… Not only that, but if the Book of Judas really existed it was prophesised that its unearthing would destroy the pillars upon which the entire Christian religion had grown… It had the power to unlock the devil himself.” The very knowledge of their existence is deadly. Now Sir Lawrence is gone the Vatican is determined to claim the secret that undermines its raison d’être and their hired agents will stop at nothing. Worse still, is the knowledge that the Antichrist’s disciples on earth, The Satanica, have unleashed an assassin of pure, implacable evil leaving hideously mutilated bodies in his wake as he follows the Trenchard brothers on their quest. In a terrifying, nail-biting mission that takes us from leafy Oxfordshire to the Dead Sea; from Greece to the Vatican, the brothers travel the world to save the world – and themselves – from Satan’s ultimate revenge Language English

Depeche Mode
Depeche Mode
Serhiy Zhadan
¥90.03
In 1993, tragic turbulence takes over Ukraine in the post-communist spin-off. As if in somnambulism, Soviet war veterans and upstart businessmen listen to an American preacher of whose type there were plenty at the time in the post-Soviet territory. In Kharkiv, the young communist headquarters is now an advertising agency, and a youth radio station brings Western music, with Depeche Mode in the lead, into homes of ordinary people. In the middle of this craze three friends, an anti-Semitic Jew Dogg Pavlov, an unfortunate entrepreneur Vasia the Communist and the narrator Zhadan, nineteen years of age and unemployed, seek to find their old pal Sasha Carburetor to tell him that his step-father shot himself dead. Characters confront elements of their reality, and, tainted with traumatic survival fever, embark on a sad, dramatic and a bit grotesque adventure.

Nestled in the honest questioning and prayers are answers for teachers regarding the spiritual power of teaching and the magnificent ignition of discovery, laughter, and true community in our classrooms." --Sherry Henderson, Principal, Trinity Episcopal School, Marshall, TXAbout the Author A native of southwest Oklahoma, Nancy Oelklaus began her career as a high school English teacher in Marshall, Texas.

James Minter
¥40.79
For 7 to 9-year-old boys and girls. False pride makes a child feel so important that they would rather do something wrong than admit they have made a mistake. Could pride be playing a part in your child’s negative behaviour? Billy Field says something nasty to his best friend Ant Turner, and they row. Ant goes off and makes a new friend, leaving Billy feeling angry and abandoned. Billy’s pride will not let him apologise to Ant until things get out of hand. Is Billy the sort of person to have as a friend? Will it be possible for Billy and Ant to be mates again? Can they overcome their differences? Billy And Ant Fall Out is the second title in the Billy Growing Up series. Each book addresses a unique topic—bullying, arrogant pride, jealousy, lying, stealing, lack of self-belief, understanding money, and secrets. Written to help parents, guardians and teachers deal with the issues that challenge pre-teen children; each topic is presented in a gentle way through storytelling. Setting the issues in a meaningful context helps children to understand the challenges, and to see things from a different perspective. The books act as icebreakers allowing for discussions of difficult subjects. Additionally, each title is supported by a free activity book to reinforce the learning, while having fun. Buying this book today will support your child in dealing with arrogant pride—a negative and unhelpful emotion.

n aceast serie de conferine radio, susinute la BBC, Winnicott abordeaz o serie de probleme specifice creterii copiilor, cu scopul de a reda mamelor i tailor ncrederea n propriile instincte parentale. Printre temele abordate se afl: suptul degetului mare ori al pturicii, legturile dintre copil i printele vitreg, momentele n care celui mic trebuie s i se spun Nu“, gelozia dintre frai, sentimentele de vinovie ale mamelor, dezvoltarea simului moral n pruncie sau consolidarea ncrederii de sine la copil. Lipsit de orice ton moralizator, pediatrul britanic ofer, cu o atitudine empatic i ncurajatoare, explicaii i sfaturi extrem de actuale pentru prinii zilelor noastre, ilustrnd totodat concepte devenite clasice n psihologia copilului (obiect tranziional, mam suficient de bun“ etc.).Scopul acestor conferine nu a fost acela de a le spune prinilor ce s fac, ci de a detoxifica tiina creterii copilului, de a le da ncredere prinilor n ceea ce fac i de a-i ndemna s se simt liberi s caute ajutor individualizat atunci cnd se lovesc de vreun obstacol neateptat n creterea copiilor lor.“ – dr. T. Berry Brazelton, coautorul crii Nevoile eseniale ale copiilorNite prini ndeajuns de buni pot fi folosii de ctre bebelui i copiii mici, iar ndeajuns de bun nseamn oameni ca dvs. i ca mine. Pentru a fi consecveni i astfel previzibili pentru copiii notri, trebuie s fim noi nine. Cci dac vom juca un rol, cu siguran o s fim descoperii cnd o s fim prini fr machiaj.“ – D.W. Winnicott
