It's hard to cope when you know you're sick...Tracy Lyn Lawler has experienced tragedy in her life on more than one occasion. The latest event occurred ten years ago and changed her life in a moment. Before that normal, warm summer morning, her life had been good. She had a new husband and her daughter was getting ready to start her final year in high school.Never did she expect to open her daughter's bedroom door-alarm sounding off-and not be able to wake her up. And to find out she passed away at the hands of her friend's mother. This was supposed to be the first day of her senior year. She was supposed to be jumping up out of bed, ecstatic and in anticipation of meeting all her friends at school . . .Instead, the very next day, Tracy was picking out a casket for her beautiful 17-year-old daughter. She was trying to find her a final resting place. She was planning a funeral service at the church. She was trying to breathe. . . .Tracy began writing her daughter a letter every night right before going to bed. She looked forward to this as it seemed to bring her peace. She wrote about everything she was experiencing: divorce, cancer, losing her job, an arrest, trial and conviction. And, as difficult as it was, she would journal where she had been personally with each passing month.Tracy died that day with her daughter . . . yet through these letters and journals, she began to breathe again. With each passing day, month, and year, she learned to experience laughter, happiness, peace, and love again. Instead of living life in black and white, Tracy began to see glimpses of color. Today, she lives life in full color once again.

In 2017, Tracy Hall's life went from fact to fiction overnight when she discovered the man she'd been dating for nearly two years, Max, was actually one of Australia's most prolific con men - Hamish McLaren. Also known as Hamish Watson. Also known as Hamish Maxwell.Suddenly 'Max' was gone, along with the $317,000 in life savings Tracy had given him to invest. As for her ability to trust? Hamish had stolen that too.Through speaking with investigators and playing an instrumental role in The Australian's hit podcast, Who the Hell is Hamish?, Tracy would soon discover she was not Hamish's only victim - just his last. Hamish, and his Colgate-commercial-worthy smile, had been honing his confidence game for decades.The Last Victim shares the full story of what happened before, during, and after Tracy unknowingly swiped right on a man who'd reportedly swindled people around the world out of an estimated $70 million through investment and business scams.Fast-paced and empowering, The Last Victim is in many ways a warning siren because, as Tracy shows, it doesn't matter where you're from, how you were raised and educated, or how intuitive you think you are - anyone can fall victim to a scam. At the same time, it's searing, defiant proof that it is possible to create an even better life after experiencing the ultimate emotional and financial betrayal.'An empowering story . . . and a timely warning about how easy it is to be scammed' CANBERRA WEEKLY

From prostitutes to polygamy, witches to widows, foreigners to slaves, the Bible is full of texts about women who have been classified as “other” and pushed to the margins of society. In the academy, feminist, liberation and post-colonial theologians have challenged the disparaging categorization of these biblical women and redefined them as sacred insiders, whose contributions to Judeo-Christian history offer ongoing lessons about the inclusive nature of God. Letting the Other Speak: Proclaiming the Stories of Biblical Women helps pastors, Christian educators, professors and theological students bring the stories of six controversial biblical women to congregations by surveying historical and contemporary exegetical work on each passage, modeling exegeting a congregation in preparation for moving from text to sermon, and providing two sample sermons, one prophetic and one pastoral, for each text.
Rousseau is most often read either as a theorist of individual authenticity or as a communitarian. In this book, he is neither. Instead, Rousseau is understood as a theorist of the common person. In Strong's understanding, Rousseau's use of 'common' always refers both to that which is common and to that which is ordinary, vulgar, everyday. For Strong, Rousseau resonates with Kant, Hegel, and Marx, but he is more modern like Emerson, Nietzsche, Eittegenstein, and Heidegger. Rousseau's democratic individual is an ordinary self, paradoxically multiple and not singular. In the course of exploring this contention, Strong examines Rousseau's fear of authorship (though not of authority), his understanding of the human, his attempt to overcome the scandal that relativism posed for politics, and the political importance of sexuality.

In the mid-nineteenth century biscuit tins developed as a tasteful form of advertising. They found their way into households as gifts, often being kept as ornaments and storage boxes, and have survived well in many homes. Their appeal lies in the quality and detail of their decoration, their design often demonstrating a deeply artistic sensibility and refined knowledge of art history, and great care and attention to detail from mostly anonymous designers. This book provides an introduction to biscuit tins, covering the designs, decorative techniques and companies who made and sold them.
When school pupils Capel Cochineal and Stanley Sheep are asked by their teachers to produce a history project about their area, they soon realise that their families played vital roles in helping the town become famous. But it came at a price: Capel’s relatives, immigrants from South America, were literally destined to dye - dried and crushed to provide the rich scarlet dye - whilst Stanley’s woolly family lent their fleecy coats to make the world-renown broadcloth. Through their amusing, playful account, the two characters tell the story of Stroud’s String of Pearls – the collective name for the 170 woollen mills which once roared with the sound of waterwheels, fulling stocks and spinning jennies. They re-enact history from medieval times when men walked on cloth in vats of urine; to the Industrial Revolution era of steam, coal, machinery and factory life; to modern life and how the mills are used today.
