Passion Pursuit: What Kind of Love Are You Making?


Linda Dillow - 2013
    Now that's different!This new study, Passion Pursuit: What Kind of Love Are You Making?, lets God's word speak about sex being holy and erotic, blessed by God, and satisfying far beyond what the world can even imagine.

They soon realize their husband would rather be married to the Smokin' Hot Mama in Song of Solomon than the Proverbs 31 woman! Yes, there is fun to be had along the way but this study hits hard the areas that women have secret questions about but no one to ask, such as: what does God say is okay and not okay in the bedroom? I'm 54 years old; how can my husband still be attracted to me? Did God make a mistake when He made men and women so different?This audaciously bold study combines the psychological expertise of Dr Juli Slattery, formerly of Focus on the Family, along with life-changing stories from trusted Bible teacher and best-selling author Linda Dillow (Calm My Anxious Heart). The groups who have already done this challenging work have seen their marriages come alive-whether they've been married four months or forty years. Juli and Linda's insights shared with audiences around the world cause a change in perspective and a desire to live out God's design for sex.

The Cambridge Introduction to Travel Writing


Tim Youngs - 2013
    From its ancient origins to the present day, the travel narrative has borrowed elements from various genres from epic poetry to literary reportage in order to evoke distant cultures and exotic locales, and sometimes those closer to hand. Tim Youngs argues in this lucid and detailed Introduction that travel writing redefines the myriad genres it comprises and is best understood on its own terms. To this end, Youngs surveys some of the most celebrated travel literature from the medieval period until the present, exploring themes such as the quest motif, the traveler's inner journey, postcolonial travel, and issues of gender and sexuality. The text culminates in a chapter on twenty-first-century travel writing and offers predictions about future trends in the genre, making this Introduction an ideal guide for today's students, teachers, and travel writing enthusiasts."

Totem Animal Messages: Channelled Messages from the Animal Kingdom


Brigit Goldworthy - 2013
    Totem animals are the energetic representation of an animal, the animal’s spirit. Their basic foundations of inner peace and innocence already teach us so much about who we are as humans, our journey, and how to progress forward. Use this book to receive insight—look up your favourite animals, look up your pets, look up the creatures that you fear. All of these animals have messages that bear meaning for you.This book was written with the intention to awaken, inspire, and heal you by bringing forth wisdom that the totem animal kingdom contains. Totem animals really do bridge the gap between the physical and spiritual world for a lot of people. Animals are something real in their physical world, so they can relate far easier to the spiritual wisdom of an animal than an angel or ascended master. People need something in their physical reality as evidence before they believe in something or relate to it. Most totem animal spirits have a physical representation alive here on the planet for us to connect with, which makes it far easier for people to be open to and accept their spiritual aspect. "

Field Companion to Mammals of Australia


Steve Van Dyck - 2013
    Genuinely practical in the outdoors, the book includes accounts of 389 species and newly developed, comprehensive identification keys.The Field Companion is introduced by a Mammal Distribution Matrix, which provides a classified checklist of all mammals in Australia (including those extinguished since European settlement) and the distribution of extant species in each state and territory.Species accounts provide initial differentiation, and include notes on identification, size, abundance, habitat and federal list/status, photograph and distribution map, as well as key references, which provide quick access to all relevant state identification keys in the Field Companion and to the longer entry in The Mammals of Australia.The authors have developed separate keys, illustrated with detailed drawings and maps, for the six states and the Northern Territory, to simplify the identification process and allow the reader to confidently separate all mammal species, no matter how subtle the differences.With the addition of these identification keys, this book becomes more than a field guide - although it is intended primarily to be used outdoors - and allows the user to finish identification based on more obscure characteristics, which is an advantage for some hard-to-identify species groups.- See more at: http://www.publish.csiro.au/book/7020...
