Well, that''s exactly how I planned my life to work out. Do you know what I didn''t plan? I didn''t plan on having infertility. I didn''t plan on tears, doctor''s appointments, negative pregnancy tests, or miscarriages. Life just didn''t work out the way I planned. In Motherhood Interrupted, I will discuss my journey with infertility, but more importantly, my struggle between infertility and faith. Dive into this devotional and discover all of the promises that God has to offer for His daughters going through infertility. I pray that as you read this book, God will meet you right in the season you are in, and give you the encouragement needed to walk through this valley. He made you for this. He called you to live this very life. And while it doesn''t seem fair, it is only a stepping stone to the plans He has for you, which are way better than you ever planned.

We know Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, but what was the gospel of Jesus? \"The message is intense and simple . . . a valuable addition to the Jesus canon.\" — Booklist Is it possible to know what Jesus''s original audience heard as \"the good news?\" Jesus''s gospel has been lost from sight, hidden behind the version preferred by the church. In The Gospel of Jesus, James M. Robinson, acclaimed expert on early Christian studies, gets to the true historical message of Jesus. The Gospel of Jesus draws on a combination of the most ancient and authentic texts to reveal what Jesus really said and to illuminate what he may still have to say to us today. Robinson not only reconstructs the good news Jesus preached and practiced two thousand years ago, but also shows how relevant that message still is—and how we can apply it to our lives. The Gospel of Jesus offers one of the most authentic and stirring accounts ever written of the message preached by Christ. \"A dramatic account of the original messages of Jesus of Nazareth, before honorific titles were applied to him and dogmatic statements were formulated about him . . . a book of wisdom, insight, and passion.\" —Marvin Meyer, author of The Gnostic Gospels of Jesus \"The distillation of a distinguished career devoted to the exploration of Christian origins . . . a succinct account of what the historical Jesus taught. Robinson''s reconstruction of ''Q,'' the sayings source underlying Matthew and Luke, provides the script on which he builds his judicious—and moving—portrait of Jesus.\" —Harold Attridge, Dean, Yale Divinity School

In the 1840s, gold had officially been discovered in California, and many men made their way out West in search of riches. The early mining camps were dangerous places full of violence and crime. Law and order was needed, and the Vigilante Committee became the first organized deliverer of justice in these turbulent new towns. As more and more people headed out West, and many new towns sprang up, a more official system of law was needed. From the days of the California Gold Rush to the killing of Bill Tilghman, the last of the traditional frontier lawmen, this book discusses the men that shaped law and order in the ''Wild, Wild West''.

This book explores the leadership of state and federal environmental agencies and local environmental groups in restoring the degraded rivers that flow into North America’s Great Lakes and other sites in the northeastern industrial corridor of the US. Robinson examines twenty of the forty-eight sites included in the Areas of Concern Program of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between Canada and the US. These twenty include heavily urbanized locales such as those along the River Rouge and Detroit River, but also more pristine locales such as the St. Louis River that flows through Duluth. Additionally, Robinson examines challenging river restorations within the northeastern industrial corridor which are led by effective local environmental advocacy organizations: the Penobscot Nation of Indigenous People, the Mystic River Watershed Association, and the Housatonic River Valley Association. All of these river restorations are led and managed by the environmental experts of (i) state and federal agencies, (ii) academia, and (iii) environmental NGOs. Local restorations of industrially degraded water bodies now compose a significant segment of the environmental movement and, ultimately, Robinson demonstrates that local environmental advocacy organizations can help marshal state and local funding for those efforts.

Not So Good a Gay Man is the compelling memoir of author, screenwriter, and activist Frank M. Robinson. Frank M. Robinson (1926-2014) accomplished a great deal in his long life, working in magazine publishing, including a stint for Playboy, and writing science fiction such as The Power, The Dark Beyond the Stars, and thrillers such as The Glass Inferno (filmed as The Towering Inferno). Robinson also passionately engaged in politics, fighting for gay rights, and most famously writing speeches for his good friend Harvey Milk in San Francisco. This deeply personal autobiography, addressed to a friend in the gay community, explains the life of one gay man over eight decades in America. By turns witty, charming, and poignant, this memoir grants insights into Robinson''s work not just as a journalist and writer, but as a gay man navigating the often perilous social landscape of 20th century life in the United States. The bedrock sincerity and painful honesty with which he describes this life makes Not So Good a Gay Man compelling reading. At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
