Book 3 in the 3-book historical Christian fiction series by the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and A Voice in the Wind.The thrilling conclusion to the Mark of the Lion series.With Hadassah confined to the cells below the arena, facing death once again, and his sister Julia dying of a strange new illness and longing for a forgiveness beyond her reach, Marcus goes in search of God. Meanwhile, Atretes, the Germanic warrior, vows to move heaven and earth to find his son--the baby he thought was dead and whose life Hadassah saved--and take him back to Germania. Only one thing stands in his way: Rizpah, a Christian widow who has cared for the baby since his birth. Atretes did not count on Rizpah's fiery resistance to having "her son" taken away, nor is he prepared for the woman's strength and beauty. From their first meeting, the two are caught in a stormy battle of wills.Includes discussion questions suitable for individual use or group discussions."Once more, Rivers transcends the genre."--Booklist, starred review"Francine unlocks the longing in each one of us to connect to God in a deeper, life-changing way. No one reading her books will ever be the same again."--Debbie Macomber"As we 'watch' Hadassah and Atretes struggle through first-century trials, we learn how to handle similar situations in the twenty-first century. The 'costumes' may vary, but our Lord does not change."--Angela Hunt"Francine redefined Christian fiction--honest, unflinching, powerful, life-changing--demonstrating why storytelling is the most effective way to communicate God's truth. Every Christian novelist writing today owes a debt of gratitude to Francine Rivers for lighting the way."--Liz Curtis Higgs"Francine Rivers writes from her heart to touch the hearts of her readers. Her books are essential reading for all who love Christian fiction."--Bodie Thoene"Francine Rivers puts readers right into the history of the moment."--Romantic Times

Charismatic, older and intellectual, they make Joanie feel alive and important in a way she didn’t know was possible.Cameron, 2023. When Cameron arrives back in St Rule for Christmas a question burns in his mind: what ever happened to Joanie?

But as he starts to look for answers, it becomes clear that someone wants to keep this secret buried at all costs. How far should he go to pursue the truth?Set amongst the ancient cobblestone of a Scottish coastal town steeped in history, Francine Toon masterfully blends the tension of a mystery with the chill of a modern gothic.

Language and the Sexes

Language and the Sexes

Francine Frank; Frank Anshen

State University of New York Press
1983
pokkari
In a highly readable and lively text, the authors explore the way language mirrors our cultural assumptions, especially those concerned with gender distinctions. Focusing on contemporary issues, they draw on their knowledge of sociolinguistics and other languages to illustrate how sexism may be hidden by habits of language. In making the reader aware of these, they suggest options for change.Language and the Sexes synthesizes a wide range of up-to-date information and research under several topics: naming, stereotypes of language behavior, the politics of conversation, forms of address, asymmetry in vocabulary, and possibilities of reform. The book concludes with suggested projects related to these topics, guidelines for non-discriminatory language use, and an extensive bibliography.

How to Write Your Book

How to Write Your Book

Francine Barish-Stern; Bobbi Madry

Golden Quill PR
2018
pokkari
"Great books start with Great Ideas, and become finished published stories with a little help from our friends...The Three Wise Guides "HOW TO WRITE YOUR BOOK, From an Idea...to Your Published Story," as narrated by "The Three Wise Writing Guides," is a journey into the exciting world of writing and finishing a book. An instructional writing book can be very dry and boring, and can take longer to digest than writing your own book. That's why, "How to Write Your Book...," takes the reader on an interactive journey with our guides: the Writer, Ms. Iwanna B. Writer, the smart old owl; the Editor, Ms. Edi Tor, a fox with a fountain pen; and the Publisher, Mr. I.M. Publisher, a very classy, successful, English type dog-gent. These guides deliver cartoon type conversations from their professional prospective, which will motivate anyone who wants to write, to actually start and finish their book. "Writing is a hard enough task, but taking that 'gem' of an idea and spinning it into the most exciting 'best-seller' ever, makes it even harder. Writers want the 'how to, ' and the 'DO IT NOW' And that's the premise behind, 'HOW TO WRITE YOUR BOOK...' "We devised just twelve, yes that's right, 12, Chapters, chock full of let's get you writing and finishing your story. This concept was developed from the authors' experiences as teachers, editors, publishers and published authors. "From writing workshops and interactive seminars that we conducted, we heard first-hand that these writers had been unable to take their ideas from the seedling stage to the finished story. Their great story ideas would pop-up, then ultimately fizzle just from the task of getting those ideas down on paper. But the saddest part of their stories were that eventually, the long, arduous process took their work from their writing instrument of choice to the 'never to be seen again, bottom drawer'. "Once we simplified their methods, those writers were better able to understand the process, overcome their obstacles and set realistic goals. They stayed on track and were motivated to complete their projects. "We saw the quality of their work improve. They were able to keep writing; knew what to do next, and were able to overcome their writing road blocks. When they followed our step-by step process they were able to see their writing projects through to completion." This book was also used in the actual creation of a currently published novel, "Code 47 to BREV Force." The "HOW TO WRITE...," Chapter Review Maps, show how each of the suggested techniques benefitted the story line, and give the writer the instructions for using these tools to work through their story. Madry and Barish-Stern filled this book with their writing journeys': as authors of numerous books in many different genre, as editors of hundreds of books, from their experiences with publishing, and from the experiences of many of their colleagues, who are also published authors. Their years of teaching classes and one-on-one tutoring, also gave Madry and Barish-Stern the ability to pinpoint the issues that presented to a cross section of writers. "HOW TO WRITE YOUR BOOK," has been put together with all of these things in mind; to be, informative, interactional, thought-provoking, and a fun way for any writer to achieve their dream of writing a book, ..."from an idea to your published story." Don't put it off any longer. Let us help you start on your writing journey today and write that book you've always dreamed about
