This is Edmond Rostand's immortal play in which chivalry and wit, bravery and love are forever captured in the timeless spirit of romance. Set in Louis XIII's reign, it is the moving and exciting drama of one of the finest swordsmen in France, gallant soldier, brilliant wit, tragic poet-lover with the face of a clown. Rostand's extraordinary lyric powers gave birth to a universal hero--Cyrano De Bergerac--and ensured his own reputation as author of one of the best-loved plays in the literature of the stage. This translation, by the American poet Brian Hooker, is nearly as famous as the original play itself, and is generally considered to be one of the finest English verse translations ever written.

"The Tomato War and Theomachy" is a tale of romance and history. Author Edmond Nicolas paints a portrait of life in Rasha, his small village that is located in the mountains of rural Lebanon. From there, he chronicles the yesteryears, tying together the repetitive effects of history and warfare in the Middle East. Nicolas moves through to 1975, when suddenly Lebanon was at war, and the Christian peoples were forced to defend their lives at the outskirts of their villages. They suffered and fought alone for their freedom against the same terror that the world witnessed on 9/11.
The Power to press-on is an essential tool for performance enhancement. Life is a race, and just like athletics, not all who chase their dreams will eventually enjoy their achievements and realization. Some will quit out of exhaustion and others out of emergency casualties. Life can be hard, unfair, and at times cruel. We all need the energizing fuel that refreshes us to get up, shake off the dust and ashes of defeat, and keep running towards the finishing line. After all, great success doesn't lie in great starts, but excellent finishings.Using conversational stories of some of the world's most famous achievers, and their personal stories on the journey to success, Edmond EddiNations has highlighted powerful nuggets for achieving the impossible and reaching to sky heights.
"An engaging sequel to the Silver Poplar that fills out the spiritual journey, overcoming the stigma of an institutional upbringing, leading to an unexpected calling. The writing style and story also allows you to enter into some of the unexpected machinations of the Australian church that existed in that era."Rev Bill MedleyAuthor of best-selling Religion is for Fools."Pastor Eddie Smith belongs to that line of Christians whose witness and influence originates in the gospel that powerfully transformed him in his teenage years. This compelling autobiography documents the events that shaped an "unexpected" life from inauspicious beginnings in a children's home in Melbourne to become an ordained Baptist pastor. It is a candid and sometimes raw account of how God in his mysterious providence uses both the good and even the really bad to bring us to a mature faith in Him."Dr. Tony BirdNew Testament Lecturer and Author of Welwyn Commentary Epistle of James
