As its title makes clear, The Definitive Brussels Griffon is the most comprehensive work you will find about this "darling of the small-dog set." Authors Jeffery Bazell and Jeffrey Kestner of the internationally renowned St Johns kennel have left no stone unturned in their quest to document every aspect of this impossibly charming breed. As a result of their exhaustive research, The Definitive Brussels Griffon lays out, for perhaps the first time, the real history of the Griffon, debunking many old wives' tales about how the breed was developed and popularized. Emerging from humble beginnings, this appealingly snub-faced lap dog with the human expression has captivated generations of dog lovers for well over a century. And the breed's own story is just as mesmerizing, encapsulating some of society's most hot-button subjects -- namely, sex, religion and politics. There is virtually no aspect of the Brussels Griffon that goes unexplored in these richly illustrated pages, from art and culture to breeding and husbandry, as well as practical advice about living with Griffons. Meticulously researched and passionately written, The Definitive Brussels Griffon is a must-read for anyone who has fallen under the spell of this indescribably unique breed.

Yet every time she was knocked down, she rose up again stronger than ever before.Bilingual Legends # 647: This book is in both English and the historical Modi script of Marathi. After being suppressed since the mid-20th century, a revival of the Modi script has begun among Marathi speaking communities keen to preserve the traditions of their ancestors by passing their own script onto the next generation.
Peddyr and Connie Quirk head for the Isle of Man, hoping for a well-deserved break from their private investigation business. However, in an underhand move by Peddyr's cousin Superintendent Eddie Cadogan, their hotel booking is changed, and they are redirected to Hodge Fell Farm, with its farm shop, butchery, café and quaint holiday cottages. When they meet their hosts - including a certain Nick Popadopoulos - a relaxing holiday of bracing walks by the sea is quickly replaced by pigs, adultery, soap-making, drag queens, smoked sausages, scams and skulduggery. In their quest to work out what despicable scheme Nick has underway, Peddyr and Connie soon realise that not everyone is being honest with them. Time is not on their side, and they must rely on their wits to act before someone gets away with murder.

"On the inside, I'm sure I'm a boy." Ava is shocked and confused when her older sister, Riley, shares her desire to be a boy. Ava keeps her sister's secret for a while, but then Riley cuts her hair short and demands that everyone in the family call her Rick. Ava gets teased about Riley at school, taunted at softball practice, and snubbed by a church friend. She begs God to "please make Riley act like a girl again." But when God doesn't answer her prayer, Ava comes up with her own plan. In I Want My Sister Back, Ava and her family take the first steps on their journey with a loved one who struggles with gender identity. What begins as shock, confusion, and anger moves toward honesty, forgiveness, and love.
In this 2025 update, A Christian's Mental Health Guide: For Missionaries, Pastors, and Other Christians, Too is my personal health guide. I developed it over years of learning to deal with my own mental health. Challenges that arose from abuse during my childhood years, then witnessing horrendous atrocities during a twenty-two-year missionary career in Africa, added to my struggles. A moderate brain injury and a recent diagnosis of FSHD-Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy makes mental health a constant challenge. In this book, I share how therapy, spirituality, family, friends, and Scripture helped me become and stay mentally healthy.
