Se cercate un libro capace di farvi ridere a crepapelle dalla prima all'ultima pagina, allora "Beatrice si fa i selfie con l'i-phone" è quello che fa per voi!In questo esilarante romanzo, l'autore immagina il sommo poeta Dante Alighieri catapultato ai giorni nostri, alle prese con smartphone, app di incontri e tutta la tecnologia moderna. Il risultato è un concentrato di comicità e ironia da far invidia al miglior Boccaccio!Dante si ritrova spaesato in un mondo che non riconosce, e le sue reazioni a WhatsApp, Instagram e ai selfie della sua amata Beatrice sono semplicemente imperdibili."Deh, fanciulla innocente, non vedi che quel marchingegno ti ha irretita nelle sue maglie? Ti fa compiere strani gesti, modulare sorrisi artefatti, tutta presa da quel gioco alienante. Deponilo ti prego, ritorna al creato che t'attende!"Con queste parole prova invano a distogliere Beatrice dalla sua ossessione per gli autoscatti, in una scena di comicità irresistibile."Or immaginate la mia meraviglia quando mi apparve una gentildonna dai capelli verdi, con due anelli nel naso e vestita in maniera assai bizzarra e succinta! Non sapendo come comportarmi dinanzi a tal visione, la feci accomodare e le offrii del vino. Ma ella mi porse una pergamena con sopra scritto "Pizza a domicilio, sono 15 euro".Anche i passaggi sulla sua esperienza con treni, aerei e le altre diavolerie dei trasporti moderni strappano risate a raffica: "Per le mutande del Signore! Questa non è una carrozza, è un carro di fuoco diretto dritto all'Inferno!"Insomma, se volete passare ore di puro divertimento, questo è il libro che fa per voi.

If I remember correctly, the only real problem that could have plagued me, was having wonderfully spent.... Good old days... Anyway... Let's not digress... Are you ready for Nick and Meg's amazing wedding? It will be the most enchanted wedding of the year! We are no longer in our paws with excitement! Maybe there's just a little something I'll have to fill you in on first, but don't worry, nothing irreparable. So, are you ready for this fantastic new adventure?!!! Happy reading to all!!!

I have taught the deaf, integrated an all black school in Thomasville, GA, been a family law attorney, a step-mother, grandmother, daughter and sister. I am Jewish.

There's one thing that every person living wants: joy. Yet, many live with so little of it. But why? Where is true joy to be found? Is it found in: Medications? ("If I can just get the right combination of meds!")Drugs? ("If I get high enough!")Entertainment? ("If I laugh enough!" "If I divert from reality enough!")Relationships? ("He'll make me happy!" "She'll make me happy!" "They'll make me happy!")Busyness? ("If I just stay busy enough!")Effort? ("If I only try hard enough!")According to the Bible, true joy is a gift from God. It comes from walking with the joyful God, from implementing what He teaches about it in His Word, and from receiving His very joy into our hearts. But is it truly possible to rejoice in the Lord always? Yes, and for this reason: Because God is real and the Bible is true. Once a person gets that settled, they're well on their way to a truly joy-filled life! In this book, we'll explore key scriptures (there are hundreds of them!) on this subject. Our Creator has given us everything we need to know in His Word about joy; our responsibility is to dig it out and apply it to our lives. That's what this book is about and that's why this book is so powerful: because it's not based on the philosophies of man, upon empty fables, or upon unattainable ideals. It's based on the Bible, which is perfect and complete. No one who takes these passages to heart can ever be the same again. If you're looking for joy, look no further - Jesus came not only to give you everlasting life, but ever-laughing life, life in all its fullness, overflowing and abundant life (John 10:10)! His Word was given so that we could be filled with His joy - overflowing, lavish, outlandish joy (John 15:11)! Heaven will be a wonderful joy-filled existence, but He promises us even here and now that we can "greatly rejoice and delight with inexpressible and glorious joy" (I Peter 1:8)! If that's what you're looking for, join me as we sit at His banqueting table and dig in!

"Armorgie - That's an unusual surname; where does it come from?" This book tells you how living with an unusual surname can cause curiosity about its origins to the extent that it triggered an obsessive hunt that lasted over 50 years. Amongst the profane humour are some profound observations. The story meanders from Bath, to Leamington Spa, onwards to Liverpool and leaves the UK to circumnavigate the globe. A chance observation led to the discovery of the secretive origins of the name that connect it to the American Civil War. The hunt for origins of the Armorgie surname is a true-life detective story that is woven into the life story of the author, as well as being intrinsically bound up in the socio-political history of both America and Britain. Good fiction has to be believable; reality has its own rules.
