No More Standing on the Sidelines Features: No More Excuses Teen Guys' Bible Study Book includes printed content for eight sessions, personal study between group sessions, applicable Scripture, "How to Use This Study," and a leader guide. And it all begins when we stop making excuses. Exploring examples of men of God throughout the Bible, this eight-session Bible study dives deeply into the heart of a man and challenges him to stand up, embrace the role God has made him for, live with integrity, love with ferocity, and to be the man God has made him to be. You've probably seen this happen time and again as you've watched a game, but is this how you live your life? Do you make excuses when you drop the ball and limp to the sidelines? This is the pattern of far too many men-young, old, and everywhere in between. He's not really hurt, he's just trying keep the heat off his back. When he gets up, he hobbles to the sidelines limping. The ball soars through the air and lands right in the hands of the receiver, yet he drops it and tumbles to the ground. They begin to communicate by gesture at first and then gradually Ransom, whose specialty is languages, learns that this being is a hross, one of three species, sorn being another and the third, pfifltriggi (I do wonder how Lewis came up with that one), each with different characteristics and talents. He eventually sees another creature that he thinks is a beast until he hears it speak. This foreign planet is nothing like what he thought it would be. So naturally at the first possible opportunity on the planet, he runs away, even though he has no idea where to go or how to survive and thinks he will most likely never make it back to Earth. In bits and pieces of overheard conversation, he learns that they are intending to hand him over to some creatures known as sorn on a planet called Malacandra, evidently, they all think, for some kind of sacrifice. Shortly thereafter he finds himself drugged, kidnapped, and waking up in a moving space ship with Devine and his partner, Weston. In the first book, Out of the Silent Plant, Professor Ransom is on a walking tour in the English countryside when he runs into an old classmate named Devine. But I think I’ll review them together since there are comments I want to make about the series as a whole, despite the fact that this post may end up somewhat lengthy. Lewis (sometimes called the Ransom Trilogy after the main character) all together or separately. I’ve gone back and forth with myself about whether to review the books in The Space Trilogy by C. Now a canonical work, “The Seagull” remains devilishly tricky to pull off, however, not because Chekhov’s theatrical form still confounds, but because of the difficulty of corralling an acting ensemble to play off each other with naturalness and ease while slipping between Chekhov’s shifting and overlapping emotional registers. His chamber drama, filled with unheroic, frustrated figures propelled by life’s bitter ironies rather than melodramatic flourishes, proved too much for the play’s first audience to bear. Sensitive, moody and a bit ridiculous, Konstantin isn’t exactly a mouthpiece for the great Russian author, although Chekhov was himself out to innovate and reform. Konstantin, the aspiring playwright in Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull,” dreams of inventing “new forms” for the theater. Meanwhile in the capital, Cress may have the throne, but there are still many among the Kalovaxians who are of the opinion that Søren is the true heir and are not truly loyal to her – only fearful of her power. Her main advantage now is that Cress believes her to be dead, and Theo can plan her next steps to liberate her people in this brief reprieve. Theo has survived her experience in the Fire Mine and come out with new abilities that may be her only hope against Crescentia, now the Kaiserin, who also holds Prinz Søren hostage. Theo must learn to embrace her own power if she has any hope of standing against the girl she once called her heart’s sister. The Kaiserin’s strange power is growing stronger, and with Prinz Søren as her hostage, there is more at stake than ever. Imbued with a magic no one understands, the Kaiserin is determined to burn down anyone and everything in her way. Now free, with a misfit army of rebels to back her, Theo must liberate her enslaved people and face a terrifying new enemy: the new Kaiserin. And if she learned nothing else from her mother, she learned that a Queen never cowers. As the rightful heir to the Astrean crown, it runs in her veins. But though she wore a crown of ashes, there is fire in Theo’s blood. Renamed the Ash Princess, she endured relentless abuse and ridicule from the Kaiser and his court. Synopsis: Princess Theodosia was a prisoner in her own country for a decade. Published: February 4th, 2020 (Delacorte Books for Young Readers) Sounds pretty wonderful, doesn’t it? Getting some downtime with Jesus and your friends, eating and swapping stories? But that’s not what happened. That’s when Jesus extended this remarkable invitation: “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” So they hopped in a boat and headed for a solitary place (otherwise known as the wilderness). The crowds were pressing in on them so severely, however, that not only was it challenging to talk, but they couldn’t get a moment to eat either. The disciples had come back from their travels excited to talk about everything that had happened. As someone living a “hurry up” life, longing for rest, I was intrigued, especially in light of how it played out. Rest seems so incongruous in this fast-paced book, and surprisingly, it’s the only Gospel in which this invitation appears. I’ve always thought of Mark as the “hurry up” Gospel, because everything seems to happen “immediately.” Perhaps that’s why Mark 6 caught my attention recently, where Jesus invited the disciples to rest after they return from their missionary journey. We are cultivating within ourselves a transformative practice that helps us heal from what the world has been, while generating what the world will be. This, to me, is the work of internal accountability. So I put these two wisdoms in direct relationship with each other more and more often these days: given the time on the clock of the world, how do we need to transform ourselves to transform the world? How do we need to be? How do we need to grow ourselves in order to both spark and cultivate the kinds of species’ evolutions we want to see? What do we need to practice? It’s her birthday month, and here she is, spirit teaching. I see her speaking them with her hands cupping the future in front of her. Grace visits me with the insistent memory of her words. Each one of us is an individual practice ground for what the whole can or cannot do, will or will not do. Which means my thinking, my actions, my relationships, and my life create a front line for the possibilities of the entire species. The world, the values of the world, are shaped by the choices each of us makes. And as in any war, there is a front line, a place where the action is urgent, where the battle will be won or lost. The way I think of it now is in the framework of the imagination battle: there is a war going on for the future-it is cultural, ideological, economic, and spiritual. Grace also said, “We must transform ourselves to transform the world,” which is taking me years to understand and embody. “If you like your stories messy and your heroes flawed, then Something in the Way He Needs is a must!” “My favorite kinds of romances are ones that offer unusual leads or leads with lots of character growth, and I got both of those here.” In my opinion, this is a very unique take on the concept and it just works.” And, as if one helping were not enough, I had to gorge myself with a second (or in this case, an immediate re-read)!” For me, that equates to a package full of pure bliss. “A family size package of Double Stuf Oreo cookies-that’s what this book reminded me of. There are sad moments and struggles and these men both have to grow and adapt and learn how to be more than they ever knew they could be, but sweet mercy, the journey was beautiful.” “There may be plenty of sex in this book, but there's a whole lot of emotion with it, so it's a beautiful thing to experience as the story unfolds.” When Anda enters the game, we learn why through a player named Lucy, who has had to work her ass off to prove herself worthy within an industry largely dominated by men.įirst off, as a gamer - as a woman gamer - this bothered me. The stipulation is that she must choose to play as a female character. It stars a young girl named Anda who, along with others in her class, are invited to join a guild in the multiple online roleplaying game, Coarse Gold. In Real Life also claims to explore the role of gender in gaming. This is a graphic novel about gaming and economics, as it states in the long intro that perhaps delved more deeply into these topics than the actual comic does.
