Stephen Grattan's Faith: A Canadian Story is a poignant narrative about the struggles with alcoholism set in late 19th-century Canada. The story portrays the challenges faced by two families deeply affected by addiction and the potential for redemption. It delves into the transformative power of hope, faith, love, and the role of community in overcoming dire circumstances. One family is plagued by the husband's alcohol dependence, which threatens their stability, while his wife strives to maintain hope for her family despite the difficulties. As the story progresses, a reformed man, once a drunkard himself, steps in as a source of support and encouragement. His belief in divine intervention becomes a catalyst for change, offering both practical assistance and emotional strength to the family. Through perseverance and the support of others, the family begins a journey toward healing and restoration. This narrative illustrates the power of faith and community in breaking the cycle of addiction and highlights the potential for renewal even in the face of life s hardest trials.

NBA scouts nearly overlooked point guard Stephen Curry. Most NBA stars come from well-known schools, but not Stephen. He played for Davidson College in North Carolina, where he set the all-time scoring record for his university and his conference. In 2007-2008, he set the all-time college record for most three-point shots made in a season. Stephen was the seventh overall pick in the 2009 draft, chosen by the Golden State Warriors. He has racked up impressive stats ever since and led his team to the best record in the NBA midway through the 2014-2015 season.
A 1967 obituary in The Times labelled Stephen Joseph ‘the most successful missionary to work in the English theatre since the second world war’. This radical man brought theatre-in-the-round to Britain, provoked Ayckbourn, Pinter and verbatim theatre creator Peter Cheeseman to write and direct, and democratised theatregoing. This monograph investigates his forgotten legacy. This monograph draws on largely unsorted archival material (including letters from Harold Pinter, J. B. Priestley, Peggy Ramsay and others), and on new interviews with figures including Sir Alan Ayckbourn, Trevor Griffiths and Sir Ben Kingsley, to demonstrate how the impact on theatre in Britain of manager, director and ‘missionary’ Stephen Joseph has been far greater than is currently acknowledged within traditional theatre history narratives. The text provides a detailed assessment of Joseph’s work and ideas during his lifetime, and summarises his broadly-unrecognised posthumous legacy within contemporary theatre. Throughout the book Paul Elsam identifies Joseph’s work and ideas, and illustrates and analyses how others have responded to them. Key incidents and events during Joseph’s career are interrogated, and case studies that highlight Joseph’s influence and working methods are provided.

From #1 New York Times bestselling, Hugo Award-winning author Brandon Sanderson, and co-authors Max Epstein, David Pace, and Michael Harkins, comes an audio-first techno-thriller addition to the universe of Stephen (Legion) Leeds. Stephen Leeds is perfectly sane. It's his hallucinations who are all quite mad. A one-man team of experts, Stephen Leeds is a genius of unparalleled mental capabilities who can learn new skills or master entire scholarly disciplines in mere hours. However, these skills come at a price. Stephen must compartmentalize his brain, with each of his new skill sets being held by an "aspect"--a hallucination his mind creates with their own fully developed personality, life, and limitations. Without these aspects, and the delicate construct of reality they provide for him, Stephen is unable to control his mind and engage with the real world. So when an unprecedented Internal Revenue Service data breach stumps the FBI, Stephen is brought in to investigate. With the help of his aspects, he must uncover the connection between millions of stolen tax returns, a mysterious hacker named Enoch, a strange, cutting-edge technology that uses soundwaves to transfer data, and a nearly extinct Mesopotamian religion which once rivaled Christianity. What Leeds discovers along the way will reveal the devastating consequences of this new technology, test the limits of his aspects, and lead him face to face with a man hell-bent on vengeance, for which no cost is too high. Stephen Leeds: Death and Faxes is a new entry in Brandon Sanderson's Stephen Leeds saga and chronologically takes place between the novellas Legion and Legion: Lies of the Beholder.
