'One of the best books I have ever read about the complexities of poverty . . . one of the most remarkable people you will ever meet' Guardian

 

As the middle of five kids growing up in dire poverty, the odds were low on Katriona O'Sullivan making anything of her life. When she became a mother at 15 and ended up homeless, what followed were five years of barely coping.

 

This is the extraordinary story - moving, funny, brave, and sometimes startling - of how Katriona turned her life around. How the seeds of self-belief planted by teachers in childhood stayed with her. How she found mentors whose encouragement revitalised those seeds in adulthood, leading her to become an award-winning academic whose work challenges barriers to education.

 

Poor is not only Katriona's story, but is also her impassioned argument for the importance of looking out for our kids' futures. Of giving them hope, practical support and meaningful opportunities.

An Great Upgrade from the Previous Edition, but a bit yellow
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
The Zondervan Greek/Hebrew Reader's has been a classic for students of biblical languages, who desire a full biblical text (WLC for OT/Eclectic text (NIV) for NT) with the helps and assist of a Reader's edition. The first edition (black, bonded leather) has been a mainstay for a number of years. This new release (second edition) updates a few things from the previous edition. The second edition comes in a cloth-bound hardcover, which is an upgrade in my opinion from the previous editions bonded leather cover. The cover provides structure to the updated and improved binding. The fonts have been updated across the board, they are bolder and easier to read. This editions brings a lot of great updates and improvements on the first edition. Unfortunately, the glosses provided at the bottom of each page are organized in paragraph form, rather than in columns (UBS5), which makes it a bit difficult to find the footnote number and word you're searching for. Another big change is the paper color. The first edition had a bright white paper, the second edition is a deep creamy yellow paper. While I'm a fan of how readable this edition is (due to font changes), I feel the paper is way too yellow than it should be. (check pics see the difference). All in all, if you can deal with the yellow paper, this is a fantastic edition to have for reading in the biblical languages. **bible graciously provided by Zondervan for an honest review

Very nice
Format: Hardcover
They greatly improved the font (ie. a kappa looks like a kappa) and the yellowish pages are easier on the eyes. I really like it.

Not as good as the first edition overall
Format: Hardcover
The Greek part has used the third edition of the reader's Greek New Testament. But the font is not as dark and readable as the independent reader's Greek New Testament. Also, the words on the opposite page can be easily seen. The Hebrew part is the same as before in terms of content, but the fort is not as dark and readable as the previous editions. Also, the words on the opposite page can be easily seen. The pages are yellow and are not comfortable to read. It is thicker than the first edition, not portable as the first edition. I have been waiting for this new edition for a long time because of the poor font format used in the second edition of the reader's Greek New Testament. After I received it, however, I was very disappointed. You just do not enjoy reading it and using it. It is even not as good as the original edition. It is not worth 60 bucks. I do not suggest you buy it if you want to read it and use it often. If for reference only, 30 bucks may be a fair price.

Christ is the Answer to All Your Eternal Longings! Is His Return Closer than We Imagine?
Format: Hardcover
Dr. David Jeremiah believes that biblical prophecies are being fulfilled in our time and that the return of Christ seems closer than ever! In this book he uses his powers of imagination to show us what the world might experience at the time of the rapture when billions of people will silently and invisibly disappear from the earth. This book is also well researched, biblically based and answers a lot of questions. I had a moment of realization while reading this book. I had never considered why Jesus called himself the "door" but now it makes complete sense. There is also some information on the difference between the Rapture and the Second Coming. To be honest this book contains the most truth I've ever read in one book besides the Bible. I was listening to the Christian radio station in my area and also listening to Mandisa's one CD about coming out of the dark. I have an interesting thing that happens to me. I will hear a word and see that same word at the same time while reading and also listening to lyrics in songs. These make up messages I believe are directly from God. The message while reading this book was: "Know Body Heart Soul Understand Jesus Believe Christ!" God could not have confirmed that this book is the truth any better! As soon as I finished this book, my husband wanted to read it. It is quite captivating and shows that Christ is the answer to all your eternal longings. Is His return closer than we imagine? With what is going on in the world, I believe so! Read this book and renew your hope in Everlasting happiness and joy! I have sent a copy of this book to a friend as well. It is the type of book you want everyone you care about to read!!!! ~The Rebecca Review
