<p><strong>Murder sparks witchcraft hysteria in this “thoughtful” and “entertaining” seventeenth-century historical mystery from a <em>New York Times</em>?bestselling author (Stephen King).</strong></p> <p>It’s 1699 in the coastal settlement of Fount Royal in the Carolinas when Rachel Howarth is sentenced to be hanged as a witch. She’s been accused of murder, deviltry, and blasphemous sexual congress, and the beleaguered, God-fearing colonial village wants her dead. But Matthew Corbett, young clerk to the traveling magistrate summoned to Fount Royal to weigh the accusations, soon finds himself persuaded in favor of the beguiling young widow.</p> <p>Struck first by her beauty, Matthew believes Rachel to be too dignified, courageous, and intelligent for such obscene charges. The testimony against her is fanatical and unreliable. Clues to the crimes seem too convenient and contrived. A number of her accusers appear to gain by her execution. And, if Rachel is a witch, why hasn’t she used her powers to fly away from the gaol on the wings of a nightbird?</p> <p>God and Satan are indeed at war. Something really is happening in the newly established settlementーof that Corbett is certain. As his investigation draws him into the darkness of a town gone mad, and deeper into its many secrets, Corbett realizes that time is running out for him, for Rachel, and for the hope that good could possibly win out over evil in Fount Royal.</p> <p>From the award-winning author of <em>Boy’s Life</em> and <em>Gone South</em>, <em>Speaks the Nightbird</em> is an “absorbing historical mystery” (<em>Publishers Weekly</em>).</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。 ※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>**Named a 2018 Notable Work of Nonfiction by <em>The Washington Post</em></p> <p>NOW A <em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> BESTSELLER** <em><strong>?</strong></em> <strong>Winner, The 2018 Southern Book Prize</strong></p> <p><strong>NAMED A BEST/MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2018 BY:</strong> <em><strong>Chicago Tribune</strong></em> <em><strong>? Time</strong></em> <em><strong>?</strong></em> <em><strong>Publisher's Weekly</strong></em></p> <p><strong>A stunning follow up to <em>New York Times</em> bestseller <em>Tears We Cannot Stop</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>The Washington Post:</em> "Passionately written."</strong><br /> <strong>Chris Matthews, MSNBC: "A beautifully written book."</strong><br /> <strong>Shaun King:</strong> <strong>“I kid you not?I think it’s the most important book I’ve read all year...”</strong></p> <p><strong>Harry Belafonte:</strong> **“Dyson has finally written the book I always wanted to read...**<strong>a tour de force</strong>.”</p> <p><strong>Joy-Ann Reid:</strong> <strong>A work of searing prose and seminal brilliance...</strong> Dyson takes that once in a lifetime conversation between black excellence and pain and the white heroic narrative, and drives it right into the heart of our current politics and culture, <strong>leaving the reader reeling and reckoning</strong>."</p> <p><strong>Robin D. G. Kelley</strong>: “Dyson <strong>masterfully refracts</strong> our present racial conflagration... he reminds us that Black artists and intellectuals bear an awesome responsibility to speak truth to power."</p> <p>**President Barack Obama: *"***Everybody who speaks after Michael Eric Dyson pales in comparison.”</p> <p>In 2015 BLM activist Julius Jones confronted Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton with an urgent query: “What in your heart has changed that’s going to change the direction of this country?” “I don’t believe you just change hearts,” she protested. “I believe you change <em>laws</em>.”</p> <p>The fraught conflict between conscience and politics ? between morality and power ? in addressing race hardly began with Clinton. An electrifying and traumatic encounter in the sixties crystallized these furious disputes.</p> <p>In 1963 Attorney General Robert Kennedy sought out James Baldwin to explain the rage that threatened to engulf black America. Baldwin brought along some friends, including playwright Lorraine Hansberry, psychologist Kenneth Clark, and a valiant activist, Jerome Smith. It was Smith’s relentless, unfiltered fury that set Kennedy on his heels, reducing him to sullen silence.</p> <p>Kennedy walked away from the nearly three-hour meeting angry ? that the black folk assembled didn’t understand politics, and that they weren’t as easy to talk to as Martin Luther King. But especially that they were more interested in witness than policy. But Kennedy’s anger quickly gave way to empathy, especially for Smith. “I guess if I were in his shoes…I might feel differently about this country.” Kennedy set about changing policy ? the meeting having transformed his thinking in fundamental ways.</p> <p>There was more: every big argument about race that persists to this day got a hearing in that room. Smith declaring that he’d never fight for his country given its racist tendencies, and Kennedy being appalled at such lack of patriotism, tracks the disdain for black dissent in our own time. His belief that black folk were ungrateful for the Kennedys’ efforts to make things better shows up in our day as the charge that black folk wallow in the politics of ingratitude and victimhood. The contributions of black queer folk to racial progress still cause a stir. BLM has been accused of harboring a covert queer agenda. The immigrant experience, like that of Kennedy ? versus the racial experience of Baldwin ? is a cudgel to excoriate black folk for lacking hustle and ingenuity. The questioning of whether folk who are interracially partnered can authentically communicate black interests persists. And we grapple still with the responsibility of black intellectuals and artists to bring about social change.</p> <p><em>What Truth Sounds Like</em> exists at the tense intersection of the conflict between politics and prophecy ? of whether we embrace political resolution or moral redemption to fix our fractured racial landscape. The future of race and democracy hang in the balance.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。 ※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>Christian practitioners and friends may say energy medicine is safe, but questions remainーan unease that something just is not right. People say energy is all around us, and that our bodies are electrical. That energy and bioelectricity are the same. Others say quantum mechanics explains energy-based practices. Others say muscle testing just reveals what the body already knows. Perhaps it's time to question the narrative about Energy Medicine.</p> <p>Marci Julin's unique approach in addressing the narrative brings an exceptional breadth of knowledge and a compassionate approach to the subject matter. Her personal experiences and intimate involvement with hundreds of individuals participating in energy-based practices, combined with an emphasis on Scripture and in-depth research will provide answers that satisfy.</p> <p>Although this book is written primarily for a Christian audience, those who have been involved in energy-based practices and are concerned about the source of negative influences in their lives and what to do about them, will find that this book provides insightful answers and help moving forward. Marci Julin's extensive and well-documented research into these practices will reveal why everyone should be questioning the narrative promoted in energy medicine.</p> <p>In this book, you will discover:</p> <p>*The author's personal journey with muscle testing (AK) and energy medicine.</p> <p>*Extensive research on energy-based modalities including muscle testing, frequency or vibrational medicine, Rife, the devices used in energy medicine, and homeopathy.</p> <p>*Answers to the most commonly asked questions and arguments.</p> <p>*An understandable and accurate explanation of quantum mechanics, and why it cannot possibly explain energy medicine's practices.</p> <p>*Practical advice for moving forward.</p> <p>*Compelling, redemptive testimonies of practitioners and individuals who formerly participated in energy medicine and why they changed course.</p> <p>You will not find trite answers or judgment in these pages. Instead, Marci writes as one who was deceived, delivered, and by God's grace, healed of 13 diagnosed conditions, so join her on a journey to dig deep and uncover the truth.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。 ※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>Does the Bible have much to say about matters of health? That is a question Christians should be asking, yet few are. After two decades of never-ending pain and illness, Marci Julin finally did. Having exhausted all other options, yet reduced to living as an invalid, she had time and motivation to consider a new thought: "Surely, the Creator and Sustainer of life must have something to say about health in His Word!" While studying Genesis to Revelation for answers, Marci discovered biblical principles of health and healing that led to her complete healing from thirteen diagnosed conditions. Much suffering could have been avoided if she had only known God's answers sooner! Now, after almost 9 years of abundant health and continued in-depth study, Marci shares the biblical principles that bring life to the body. By combining Scriptural truth with the latest in scientific research from fields such as neuroscience, epigenetics, and neurocardiology, Marci powerfully reveals answers that Christians need to know. Topics include: ?Why so few are healed and how to change that. ?Harnessing the power of the heart to flood every cell of your body with life. ?DNA does not necessarily determine destiny. ?Why the Bible and Epigenetics offer hope to parents of sick children .?How to end life-long depression, anxiety disorders, and OCD. ?A possible connection between autoimmune disease and the heart .?How to biblically interpret ever-changing perspectives on nutrition .Sick or well, everyone needs to know the life-giving truths found in God's Word. Make a fresh start today by learning the principles that give life to the body.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。 ※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong>Two leading experts in terrorism provide “smart, granular analysis” of the group’s brutally effective strategy, tactics, and ideology (<em>Washington Post</em>).</strong></p> <p>The Islamic State, known as ISIS, exploded into the public eye in 2014, capturing the imagination of the global jihadist movement and attracting recruits in unprecedented numbers. It also exhibited a level of sadistic violence and destruction that has alienated even the hardcore terrorists of its parent organization, al Qaeda.</p> <p>In <em>ISIS: The State of Terror</em>, Jessica Stern and J.M. Berger trace the ideological innovations that the group deploys to recruit unprecedented numbers of Westerners, the composition of its infamous snuff videos, and the technological tools it exploits on social media to broadcast its atrocities. They also examine ISIS’s predatory abuse of women and children and its use of horror to manipulate world leadersーand its own adherentsーas it builds its twisted society. The authors conclude with a much-needed perspective on how world leaders should respond to ISIS’s insidious provocations.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。 ※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
