Una storia della serie SopravvissutiNon riesco a descrivere com'è voler gridare ogni minuto di ogni giorno. Una terribile notte di dolore ha distrutto la sua normale esistenza di adolescente e, due anni dopo, Aaron Downing si appiglia ancora alla speranza che, un giorno, tornerà a sentirsi un essere umano completo e funzionante. La sua vita, però, resta una serie costante di incubi, flashback e paura. Quando, nel primo semestre del college, gli viene assegnato Spencer Thomas come partner per un progetto di programmazione, Aaron decide che forse la ‘normalità'è sopravvalutata. Anche solo imparare a controllare la paura gli basterebbe per trovare di nuovo la stabilità. Dopo aver sentito una conversazione dei genitori intenzionati a rinchiuderlo in un istituto –sacrificandolo per il benessere dei suoi fratelli – Aaron cerca disperatamente di trovare un modo di gestire il suo danno psicologico o anche di fingere la normalità. Il suo nuovo psicologo riuscirà a controllare i propri demoni abbastanza a lungo da curare Aaron oppure aggraverà solo la situazione? Cercando disperatamente di comprendere la sua attrazione per Spencer, Aaron si appiglia alla sua sanità mentale con entrambe le mani quando questa minaccia di sfuggire al suo controllo.

'Absolution As Aaron'explores the significant role of cleansing rituals and atonement in the Old Testament, using Aaron, the first High Priest, as a focal point. This book aims to deepen the understanding of purity, sin, and forgiveness within a biblical context, emphasizing how these practices are essential for interpreting the New Testament's concept of salvation. Did you know that the Old Testament contains detailed instructions for purification from various forms of impurity, like skin diseases or contact with death? Understanding these cleansing rituals, especially those performed by Aaron, provides insights into God's holiness and humanity's need for atonement. The book uniquely focuses on Aaron's duties to reveal fundamental truths about the covenant relationship between God and humanity. By examining specific laws concerning purification and sacrifices, including the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), the book progresses from introducing ritual purity to exploring the implications for understanding sin and forgiveness. It draws on historical, archaeological, and theological scholarship, connecting Old Testament practices to the New Testament teachings of Jesus Christ. This approach provides a tangible framework for exploring complex theological concepts related to Biblical Studies and Biblical Reference.

A Survivor StoryI can't describe what it's like to want to scream every minute of every day. Two years after a terrifying night of pain destroyed his normal teenage existence, Aaron Downing still clings to the hope that one day, he will be a fully functional human being. But his life remains a constant string of nightmares, flashbacks, and fear. When, in his very first semester of college, he's assigned Spencer Thomas as a partner for his programming project, Aaron decides that maybe “normal” is overrated. If he could just learn to control his fear, that could be enough for him to find his footing again. With his parents'talk of institutionalizing him—of sacrificing him for the sake of his brothers'stability—Aaron becomes desperate to find a way to cope with his psychological damage or even fake normalcy. Can his new shrink control his own demons long enough to treat Aaron, or will he only deepen the damage? Desperate to understand his attraction for Spencer, Aaron holds on to his sanity with both hands as it threatens to spin out of control.

At 6-foot-7 and 285 pounds, Aaron Judge emerged as the biggest story in baseball in 2017 with his monstrous home runs and record-breaking ability. A three-sport athlete in high school and a Division I ballplayer at Fresno State, the Californian was drafted by the New York Yankees in the first round in 2013 and made it to the majors by August 2016. Homering in his first major league at-bat and starting in right field straight out of spring training in 2017, he gave Yankees fans hope for the future, along with'Baby Bombers'teammates such as Gary Sanchez.After a rough start in which he batted below.200 and struck out in over 40 percent of his plate appearances after joining the Yankees, Judge turned things around and helped get his team off to a fast start in 2017 with 10 homers in April alone, tying the rookie record for the month. He then broke the legendary Joe DiMaggio's team record for most round trippers by the All-Star break with 30, including one that measured at 495 feet. His mounting popularity enabled him to receive more All-Star votes than any American League player and to the creation of the'Judge's Chambers'section located in the right-field stands of Yankee Stadium. Judge's momentum next led to him winning the 2017 Home Run Derby where he smashed a total of 47, four of which traveled more than 500 feet. It's no wonder that baseball commissioner Rob Manfred has said that Judge is a player'who can become the face of the game.'In Aaron Judge: The Incredible Story of the New York Yankees'Home Run-Hitting Phenom, David Fischer brings the exciting story of the Yankees'newest superstar to life.

That many have no better acquaintance with Christ and his Apostles, is, because they are such strangers with Moses and Aaron: Were Customes antiquated thorowly known, many difficulties in Scripture would appear Elegancies; and the places which now (through obscurity) dishearten the Reader, would then become sweet invitements to an unwearied assiduity in perusing those sacred Oracles. If my present labour shall give such light to some obscure passages, that thereby Gods people shall be drawn on with the greater delight, to the exercising themselves in reading of Holy Writ, it shall not repent me of my tedious travels in these Rites and Customes, of Generations long since past; which whosoever undertaketh, shall find the way long and thorny, the path over-grown and hardly disernable; the Guides few to direct, and those speaking in strange Languages; and many apt to discourage him, because themselves are either lazy, and will not, or lame and cannot walk the same way. But now (through Gods assistance) being come to the end of my Journey, the discoveries made on the way, such as they are (and such some are, as not observed before) humbly crave your Lordship's protection. From Kensington, Feb. 21. 1624. Your Honour's in all duty, and service devoted, Tho. Godwyn.
