Now, a soon-to-be first-time father is charting a course through the perilous and choppy waters of living with a pregnant woman. He’s dodging hormonal right hooks, evading emotional explosions, saying all the wrong things (like "Are you okay?"), and trying to figure out how the hell you install a car seat.

There have been extensive debates about the gates of Hades, hell, or the grave. In what way does the Church conquer the gates? What are these keys Peter will be given? What does he unlock and lock with them? What does he bind and loose on Earth? There are a lot of issues here, and we'll be looking at these in this audiobook and answering what or who is the foundation of the Church that the Lord builds?

James Kincaid is the type of guy who might be described as down on his luck, if only he’d had some luck to begin with.

In his case, that includes a lively spirit, a sadly diminished magical talent, quick wits, and good knowledge of the twists and turns of Seattle’s dingy streets and back alleys.

Carefully, I removed the thick syringe from its satchel. The liquid inside was almost colorless. Without hesitation, I pressed the needle against my abdomen, letting it puncture the flesh, another point in a neat field of tiny dots.

We know that we pose a threat to humanity. But so does every person with a common cold stepping into a metro on their way to work in the morning. We don’t ask to be hailed as heroes, or the next evolutionary step in human life, because we sure aren’t that. We just ask for the same fair treatment any patient gets, no matter what their disease might be. The humans call us zombies. We call ourselves humanz.

We live in uncertain and turbulent times. Things wear out. Experiences fade. Circumstances change. Structures are unstable. People and pets get sick and die. Living in a turbulent world with peace and tranquility requires that you "get your mind right". That means slowing down, silencing your inner critic, and accepting what is - especially dealing with the difficult emotions that arise when you confront volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.

Looking in, many from the outside would have thought he had it all. However, inside, he felt the opposite. He felt frustrated, guilty, overwhelmed, and uneasy every day, and he needed change.

The fascinating characters that roam in Emma Donoghue's stories have all gone astray: they are emigrants, runaways, drifters, lovers old and new. They are gold miners and counterfeiters, attorneys and slaves. They cross other borders too: those of race, law, sex, and sanity. They travel for love or money, incognito or under duress. With rich historical detail, the celebrated author of Room takes us from puritan Massachusetts to revolutionary New Jersey, antebellum Louisiana to the Toronto highway, lighting up four centuries of wanderings that have profound echoes in the present.

This is my first attempt at writing a laugh-out-loud comedy. It is a satirical look at what it’s like for your average 18-year-old who joins the elite British Army Parachute Regiment. From the initial shock of leaving home to the pride on donning the famous Maroon Beret. However, this is not your typical book. The story is narrated by a very clever and sarcastic fly. If this fly were to be compared to a human, it would probably be a morphed version of Jeremy Clarkson and Billy Connelly.

Christmas break is only a few weeks away. But before Max can relax and enjoy his winter holiday, he has to face a danger beyond any others that he has come across at Filmore Middle School. It is something he fears more than the school bully, Bart Johnson. Something more embarrassing than having to wear stinky gym clothes from the Lost and Found. The Winter School Dance!

And on top of it, his parents ruin his plans to go trick-or-treating. That is super upsetting.
