Christ Jesus used the illustration of a good gardener pruning plants so they produce good fruit. This phrase occurs during Jesus’ sermon about the Vine and the Branches. What Is the 'No Greater Love Is This' Spoken of in John 15? Through Jesus, we embrace this greater love and allow it to flow through our lives, by His power. Jesus came to earth, love incarnate, on a mission to define love, walk out love, and die out of love. Imperfect people befriending imperfect people is complicated and hard, but Jesus assures us it’s possible to love each other as He loved us. ![]() “ Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nonetheless, he was a central figure in many of his wife's hits, including "Fist City", "The Pill", "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)", and "You Ain't Woman Enough (To Take My Man)".

What would that mean for him and Ian? Miro’s stuck between two bad choices, and sometimes the only way to get out of the knot is to hold tight to your lifeline and pull.

Why did his death so devastate Achilles? Deprived of Achilles’s godlike skill in combat, tens of thousands of Greeks die as the price of his honor, but it is the death of his friend Patroclus that truly arouses Achilles’s rage. During the siege of Troy, Agamemnon takes the captive girl Briseis from him, and Achilles sulks in his tent rather than fight for the king who humiliated him and stole his new toy. In “The Iliad,” Homer roots Achilles’s wrath in sullenness and injured pride. Read these two books together is my advice. After bogging down in several of those, I had just finished Stephen Mitchell’s propulsive, muscular rendering of “The Iliad” (Free Press, 2011) when Miller’s “ The Song of Achilles” arrived. That pejorative is more aptly applied to florid, opaque translations of Homer. The term “homeric” can be code for overripe prose, sweeping epic plots and a mob of indistinguishable heroic characters. ![]() ![]() Until I was 60 and writing about Doc Holliday (who read the classics in their original languages), the closest I came to “ The Iliad” was watching Brad Pitt in “ Troy.” Unlike the lucky students of classicist Madeline Miller, I was never exposed to Homer in my youth. ![]() ![]() With time running out, Atlee and her assistant Carol Blum race to Vincenzo's last known location in Trenton, New Jersey-and unknowingly stumble straight into John Puller's case, blowing his arrest during a drug ring investigation involving a military installation. Now, just as Atlee is pressured to end her investigation into Mercy's disappearance, she finally gets her most promising breakthrough yet: the identity of her sister's kidnapper, Ito Vincenzo. For many long years, Atlee Pine was tormented by uncertainty after her twin sister, Mercy, was abducted at the age of six and never seen again. In this gripping mystery, an FBI Agent’s search for her sister clashes with a military investigator's high-stakes case, leading them both deep into a global conspiracy-from which neither of them will escape unscathed. ![]() ![]() ![]() By combining archaeological and historical evidence from a wide range of sources, Joyce Tyldesley's groundbreaking biography provides the reader with an intriguing insight into life within the Theban royal family of early 18th Dynasty Egypt. The political climate leading to Hatchepsut's unprecedented assumption of power and the principal achievements of her reign are considered here in detail, and the vicious attacks on Hatchepsut's name and image are explored in full. Her monuments were either destroyed or usurped, her portraits were vandalized, and, for more than two thousand years, her name was forgotten. ![]() After her death, however, a serious attempt was made to obliterate Hatchepsut's memory from the history of Egypt. Her reign was a carefully balanced period of internal peace, foreign exploration, and monumental building, and Egypt prospered under her rule. Born the eldest daughter of King Tuthmosis I, married to her half-brother Tuthmosis II, and guardian of her young stepson-nephew Tuthmosis III, Hatchepsut the Female Pharaoh, brilliantly defied tradition and established herself on the divine throne of the pharaohs to become the female embodiment of a man, dressing in male clothing and even sporting the pharaoh's traditional false beard.
