All of us, at times, encounter heartache, death, challenges, failures, disappointments, and other trials. How do you overcome these difficulties? Do you hold onto your hidden and silent issues? At what moment will you no longer internalize your doubts and fears, your failures and unforgiveness, your pain and brokenness? Holding onto painful problems indefinitely will not add value or meaning to your life. In Encouragement for Those Who Suffer in Silence, author Rev. Dr. LaRuth E. Lockhart addresses common issues often held in secret by many, challenges that can cause you to become broken and to suffer in silence. She communicates that you can’t receive comfort until you face and admit what ails you. You must let go and let God have control of every aspect of your life. He’s the God of all healing, comfort, and restoration. Using her personal experience of suffering silently, and with the word of God as her source, Dr. LaRuth encourages you to give voice to the silent issues that bind you and to graciously receive healing for your pain and restoration through Jesus Christ the savior.

E se houvesse infinitos universos — e infinitas maneiras de se apaixonar? Depois de enfrentar uma tragédia familiar e de ter seu coração partido, os planos de Adelaide para o verão se resumem a passar os dias no internato, cuidando dos cachorros dos professores. Só que esse verão vai se estender não só através de dias e meses, mas de várias realidades paralelas repletas de possibilidades... É num desses passeios que Adelaide encontra (ou melhor, reencontra) Jack, um garoto bonito e interessante, que anos atrás tinha escrito um poema para ela, até hoje guardado em sua carteira. Será que com Jack ela vai conseguir se abrir — para o amor e para a vida? Numa narrativa delicada e surpreendente, acompanhamos Adelaide explorando os rumos que seu verão pode tomar, por quem ela pode se apaixonar, como suas noites podem terminar. O que todos esses cenários têm em comum, porém, é uma garota lidando com seus próprios medos e monstros, sem jamais desistir de encontrar alguém que consiga enxergar por completo — e que a enxergue de volta.

#1 New York Times Bestseller Un prequel captivant al fenomenului TikTok Mincinoșii „Frumoasă și devastatoare." – Kirkus Reviews Povestea unei alte veri, a unei alte generații – și secretele care o vor bântui vreme de decenii. O insulă privată bătută de vânturi, din largul coastei Massachusetts. Un ocean flămând, clocotind de secrete și tristețe. O moștenitoare temperamentală, dependentă. Un băiat irezistibil, imprevizibil. O vară plină de trădări de neiertat și de greșeli teribile. Bine ai revenit în familia Sinclair. Au fost mereu niște mincinoși. „Poetică și profundă… Am anticipat că, la un moment dat, va veni o întorsătură de situație de-a dreptul șocantă. Și, wow, chiar asta s-a întâmplat." – The New York Times „O analiză bine structurată, pe fundalul unei atmosfere tensionate, a geloziei, iubirii și loialității familiei." – Publishers Weekly „Dacă ți-a plăcut Mincinoșii, atunci povestea despre istoricul rupturilor și al fidelităților adânc înrădăcinate în familia Sinclair este cartea pe care o așteptai. O familie de mincinoși ne poartă înapoi pe idilica insula Beechwood, în jurul anului 1987, o epocă magică a vânătorii de lămâi și a privilegiilor, a primei iubiri și a evenimentelor șocante ce răstoarnă viețile surorilor adolescente Sinclair. Lockhart m-a atras în poveste atât de adânc, încât am putut simți mirosul oceanului, am auzit clinchetul gheții în pahar și am simțit emoțiile povestitorului nostru, pe care (fie vorba între noi) nu ne putem baza. Vechile secrete de familie ies la iveală, iar altele noi sunt îngropate în acest roman vrăjitor al familiei și tragediei, dragostei și trădării, care vă va zgudui." – Seira Wilson, editor Amazon

Egy szélfútta magánsziget Massachusetts partjaitól nem messze. Egy éhes óceán, melyben titkok és bánatok örvénylenek. Egy megszállott örökösnő. Egy ellenállhatatlan, kiismerhetetlen fiú.

Prima di L’estate dei segreti perduti, prima che tutto andasse storto, prima della vacanza perfetta finita in tragedia... c’erano loro: le ragazze della famiglia Sinclair. Un’ereditiera travolgente, un ragazzo irresistibile. Un’estate di tradimenti imperdonabili e terribili errori. Le sorelle Sinclair contano i giorni che le separano dalle vacanze a Beechwood, l’isola privata su cui trascorrono ogni meravigliosa estate, tra lunghe nuotate nell’oceano e spumeggianti aperitivi a bordo piscina. Ma stavolta le cose saranno diverse. Da quando una tragedia ha spezzato la vita della più giovane erede dei Sinclair, Rosemary, niente sull’isola potrà più essere come prima. O forse sì? La cosa peggiore di perdere una sorella è dimenticarla. E la famiglia Sinclair sembra aver ristabilito una nuova normalità, nell’estate senza Rosemary. Solo per Carry il vuoto lasciato da sua sorella resta incolmabile. Soltanto lei sembra non riuscire a superare il suo ricordo e voltare pagina. L’unico modo che ha per soffocare il dolore è anestetizzarlo con i medicinali... almeno fino a quando sull’isola dei Sinclair non arrivano tre ragazzi: George, Major e, soprattutto, l’affascinante e misterioso Pfeff, che sa cosa significa non sprecare un chiaro di luna. O un solo attimo della vita. Per Carrie e le sue sorelle inizia così un’estate magica, in cui scopriranno la forza del loro legame. Un’estate costellata di passione ma anche di segreti, tradimenti e bugie. Un’estate che le segnerà per sempre. «Bellissimo e devastante. Con la sua prosa unica ed evocativa, E. Lockhart racconta le emozioni di una ragazza spezzata dal lutto e afflitta da un assillante senso di inadeguatezza.» - Kirkus Reviews

We Were Liars ist absolut unvergesslich.« John Green, Autor von »Das Schicksal ist ein mieser Verräter« ***Eine Szene aus "We Were Liars"*** Wir schauten zum Himmel. So viele Sterne. Es sah aus wie ein Fest, eine große geheime Party, die unsere Galaxie feierte, nachdem die Menschen ins Bett gebracht worden waren. Ich war froh, dass Gat nicht über Sternbilder schwafelte oder irgendeinen Blödsinn über Sternschnuppen und die Erfüllung von Wünschen erzählte. Aber ich wusste auch nicht, was ich von seinem Schweigen halten sollte. »Darf ich deine Hand halten?«, fragte er. Ich legte meine Hand in seine. »Das Weltall kommt mir gerade so riesig vor«, sagte er zu mir. »Ich brauche etwas zum Festhalten.«

From New York Times bestselling author E. Lockhart (Genuine Fraud, We Were Liars) and artist Manuel Preitano (The Oracle Code) comes a new Gotham City superhero in this exciting YA graphic novel. Seventeen-year-old Willow Zimmerman has something to say. When she’s not on the streets advocating for her community, she’s volunteering at the local pet shelter. She seeks to help all those in need, even the stray dog she’s named Lebowitz that follows her around. But as much as she does for the world around her, she struggles closer to home-taking care of her mother, recently diagnosed with cancer. In desperation, she reconnects with her estranged “uncle” Edward, and he opens the door to an easier life. Through simple jobs, such as hosting his private poker nights with Gotham City’s elites, she is able to keep her family afloat-and afford critical medical treatments for her mother. Then one night, Willow and Lebowitz collide with the monstrous Killer Croc and get injured, waking up able to understand each other. But when Willow discovers that Edward and his friends are actually some of Gotham’s most corrupt criminals, she must make a choice: remain loyal to the man who kept her family together, or use her new powers to be a voice for her community.

Guided by the book of Acts, McClendon and Lockhart unpack five timeless principles that characterize healthy, effective churches. With emphasis on doctrine, community, prayer, giving, and evangelism, Timeless Church illustrates how the church in Acts still serves as a faithful guide for the churches of today.

This twisty novel from the New York Times bestselling author of We Were Liars and Genuine Fraud asks: What if there were infinite universes and infinite ways to fall in love? If you could live your life again, what would you do differently? After a near-fatal family catastrophe and an unexpected romantic upheaval, Adelaide Buchwald finds herself catapulted into a summer of wild possibility, during which she will fall in and out of love a thousand times--while finally confronting the secrets she keeps, her ideas about love, and the weird grandiosity of the human mind. A raw, funny story that will surprise you over and over, Again Again gives us an indelible heroine grappling with the terrible and wonderful problem of loving other people. "Inventive, philosophical and romantic." --GAYLE FORMAN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay Don''t miss, Family of Liars, the eagerly anticipated prequel to the New York Times Bestselling phenomenon, We Were Liars. Available in May 2022!

That summer she would fall in and out of love more than once, in different ways, in different possible worlds. In every world, she was consumed with the intense contradictions of her heart. Adelaide wanted to be rescued and she wanted independence. She was inclined to laziness, curiosity, and magical thinking. She was all charm and yet deeply miserable. She was a liar and she hated liars. She loved both truly and wrongheadedly.

Thriller i højt tempo. Jule er mange ting. Hemmelig agent, atlet og social kamæleon. Imogen er rigmandsdatter, forældreløs og svindler. Et intenst venskab. Folk, der forsvinder. Et mord eller to. Forhold, der går i vasken. Fake er historien om en pige, der nægter at give folk, hvad de vil have. En pige, der nægter at være den, hun engang var.

Inspired by the outcasts, outlaws, and other outré inhabitants of rock legend Lou Reed’s songbook, Dirty Boulevard traffics in crime fiction that’s sometimes velvety and sometimes vicious, but always, absolutely, rock & roll. Inside, you’ll find stories from the fire escapes to the underground, stories filled with metal machine music, stories for gender-bending, rule-breaking, mind-blasting midnight revelries and drunken, dangerous, dark nights of the heart. Upcoming genre stars like Alison Gaylin team up with crime fiction legends such as Reed Farrel Coleman, along with Cate Holahan, Gabino Iglesias, Tony McMillen, and many of the most exciting new names in crime and horror fiction, who teach us that a perfect day is often anything but, that the power of positive drinking is a destructive force rarely contained, and that knock-down-drag-out drag queens are probably way tougher than you.

El nuevo thriller de la autora best seller por The New York Times Emily Lockhart. Esta es la historia de una chica cuya mente diabólica le ha permitido llegar a lo más alto. Pero, ¿cuántas veces se puede renacer de las cenizas? Imogen es una fugitiva huérfana, heredera de una fortuna, además de una cocinera y una tramposa. Jule es una luchadora, una persona camaleónica y una atleta. Una amistad intensa. Una desaparición. Un asesinato, o quizás dos. Una historia de desamor, o quizás tres. Sangre y chocolate. Superhéroes, espías y villanos. Una chica que se niega a darle a la gente lo que quiere de ella. Una chica que se niega a ser quien fue. Reseña: «Absolutamente inolvidable. E. Lockhart es una de nuestras novelistas más importantes.» John Green

De la autoarea bestsellerului Mincinoșii Imogen este o moştenitoare bogată, orfană, pasionată de gătit şi mai ales infidelă în relaţii. Jule este o luptătoare, un cameleon social şi o sportivă neîntrecută. Imită accente, fură paşapoarte şi mai ales identităţi. O prietenie intensă. O dispariție. O crimă sau poate două. O poveste de iubire care a mers prost, sau poate trei. Obiecte contondente, deghizări, sânge și ciocolată. Visul American, supereroi, spioni și răufăcători. O fată care refuză să ofere lumii ce se așteaptă de la ea. O fată care refuză să fie persoana care era odinioară. Autoarea bestsellerului Mincinoșii revine cu un nou roman psihologic plin de suspans: povestea unei tinere care se folosește de talentele sale diabolice pentru a avea acces la o viață fermecătoare, ca în filmele hollywoodiene. "Lockhart îmbină atmosfera misterioasă și glamour din Mincinoșii cu o poveste complicată despre două adolescente și despre identități false, răsturnând rolurile pe care le au în mod tradițional personajele feminine." - Publishers Weekly "Acest nou thriller psihologic al lui Lockhart înfruntă toate prejudecățile despre identitate." - Kirkus Review "O alegere excelentă pentru adolescenții cărora le plac intrigile misterioase și poveștile despre fete dure." - School Library Journal
