We all want, and need, to love and to be loved. We are made in the image of God, who is love. Healthy loving is at the very heart of true human flourishing, but human life is full of love gone wrong –\n\nmarriages break down, relationships with family members are strained, loneliness is an ever–increasing problem. This book delves into what the Bible has to say on relationships – friendship, love, marriage, sex and family – and how to guard them and keep them

William Philip encourages readers to use the Psalms as their own heart songs, in any circumstance.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDon’t just admire the Psalms, use them. Psalms are Spirit–inspired prayers that help us to pray rightly and truly. They give us words we trust, and treasure as our own heart songs, as we engage with God through times of both darkness and light.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWilliam Philip shows us that in the Psalms we find a profound revelation of God, His nature, and His ways, as well as His relationship with His people. They help us deal with all aspects of our sojourning faith, both individually and in the corporate life of the church. They give us real ‘working models’ for living day by day as Christians.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeart Songs for Every Saint takes six of these psalms, and shows how they can be prayed in real life situations:\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen God Seems Absent: Psalms 10 – A Song of Protest\nRight Sacrifices for Real Sinners: Psalm 51 – A Song\n\n of Penitence\nWhen We in Darkness Walk: Psalm 88 – A Song of Pain\nSafe in the Shadow of the Almighty: Psalm 91 – A Song\n\n of Promise\nWhere Does Your Help Come From?: Psalm 121 – A Song of\n\n Pilgrimage\nJoining the Choir of the King: Psalm 145 – A Song of\n\n Praise

Since the publication of the first edition in 2000, Sustainable Landscape Construction has helped to spur a movement towards resilient outdoor environments, in the U.S. and throughout the world. The third edition has been updated to include important recent developments in this landscape revolution. It remains essential reading for everyone with an interest in \"green\" design of outdoor spaces and infrastructures. Like its predecessors, the new edition of Sustainable Landscape Construction is organized around principles, recognizing that built environments, and our work in them, pose both pragmatic and ethical challenges. Each chapter focuses on one overarching site goal, such as \"Pave Less,\" \"Heal Injured Sites,\" and \"Consider Origin and Fate of Materials.\" These principles of land sustainability are clearly articulated and developed through specific examples of more than 100 projects from around the world, reflecting both traditions and recent innovations. Expanded coverage of industry trends toward performance monitoring, and of lessons from project failures, form an important enhancement in this edition.\nNew content also details the necessity to plan adaptively, not just preventively, for the realities of changing climate and intensifying weather. Some of the trends covered will shift how landscape architects and contractors will do business in challenging years ahead: to survive, many professionals and clients will focus on restoration projects, motivated by ecosystem services and social justice, and funded by innovative methods. Sustainable Landscape Construction is part of the canon of landscape construction texts, and with this update, remains a visionary, one of a kind reference for professionals and students.

April 1917. Eighteen-year-old Harold W. Pierce leaves school to join the U.S. Army, specifically the National Guard infantry company from heavily forested Warren County in northwestern Pennsylvania. He’s big for his age and he’s determined to serve his country. Thirteen months later, having trained at the steaming hot tent city of Camp Hancock in Georgia, Pierce and the rest of the 28th Division’s 112th Infantry Regiment is on its way to England and then to France. He’s one of the First Battalion’s scouts so he’ll see the war from a different perspective than the rest of the infantrymen, which includes his older brother Hugh.\n\nWhat Pierce sees, hears and feels will fill the small diary he keeps in his pocket. His descriptions become a diary of 79,000 words. His descriptions, his insights, his fears and his hopes bring the war to life as a young man experiences it. This young man, though, has a keen ability to express and describe that goes beyond his years: The abject terror of being in the middle of a sustained artillery barrage, his fear as he desperately tries to dig in as machine gun bullets fly inches over his head, and the relief he feels when an artillery round splits the air where he would have been if he had not – inexplicably – stopped walking.\n\nPierce has moments when he does not want to answer the runner’s call of his name, when all he wants to do is sleep in a safe shelter. But he does answer and he goes on the patrol that all are convinced will be a one-way mission.\n\nPierce survives it all, becoming a state police trooper in Pennsylvania after the war and later the chief law enforcement instructor for that state’s Public Service Institute until his retirement in 1966. In 1979, the diary was printed in serialized form in a small Pennsylvania newspaper. Throughout his life Pierce took to canvas to depict a variety of scenes from the World War. Included in this book are six of those paintings. Pierce died in 1983.

In the summer of 1982, hospital emergency rooms in the San Francisco Bay Area were suddenly confronted with mysteriously ofrozeno patients u young men and women who, though conscious, could neither move nor speak. Doctors were baffled, until neurologist J. William Langston, recognizing the symptoms of advanced ParkinsonAEs disease, administered L-dopa u the only known effective treatment u and ounfrozeo his patient. Dr. Langston determined that this patient and five others had all used the same tainted batch of synthetic heroin, inadvertently laced with a toxin that had destroyed an area of their brains essential to normal movement. This same area, the substantia nigra, slowly deteriorates in ParkinsonAEs disease. As scientists raced to capitalize on this breakthrough, Dr. Langston struggled to salvage the lives of his frozen patients, for whom L-dopa provided only short-term relief. The solution he found lay in the most daring area of research: fetal-tissue transplants.\nThe astonishing recovery of two of his patients garnered worldwide press coverage, helped overturn federal restrictions on fetal-tissue research, and offered hope to millions suffering from ParkinsonAEs, AlzheimerAEs, and other degenerative brain disorders. This is the story behind the headline u a spellbinding account that brings to life the intellectual excitement, ethical dilemmas, and fierce competitiveness of medical research. This new updated edition of the classic neurological mystery tale, oThe Case of the Frozen Addicts,o illuminates how the solution to a baffling mystery of the brainAEs chemistry opened a new frontier in medicine and restored life to people without hope. oIt begins with a series of quixotic discoveries, escalates to providing possible solutions for one of humanityAEs most intractable medical problems, and then catapults the reader into the center of AmericaAEs hottest political arena u abortion and fetal sanctity. Bravo! A brilliant read. o u Laurie Garrett, author of The Coming Plague oI could not put it downa it is the lives of the aefrozen addictsAE themselves u and the fullness with which this is presented u which makes the whole thing overwhelming. o u Oliver Sacks o[Langston and Palfreman] weave a highly readable and spellbinding medical detective talea It is as absorbing as a good mystery, as entertaining as an exciting novel, and as enlightening as a good biography.\no u Stanley Fahn, New England Journal of Medicine Previously published in 1995 by Pantheon Books
