Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Known as The Peanut Butter Brothers for their Wisconsin family business, hardworking Andrew, Abraham, and Austin Petersheim have their plates too full for romance-until their little siblings decide to play matchmaker . . .

But Abraham is so shy, he'll barely speak to girls. Still, they've noticed how he looks at Emma Wengerd at church. Emma is so talkative, Abraham's quiet ways wouldn't matter a bit.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. "An instant classic. . . . A pure joy to read." --Washington Post Book World Both a heart-racing adventure and an uplifting quest, Walking the Bible presents one man's epic journey- by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel- through the greatest stories ever told. From crossing the Red Sea to climbing Mount Sinai to touching the burning bush, Bruce Feiler's inspiring odyssey will forever change your view of history's most legendary events. The stories in the first five books of the Bible, also known as the Torah, come alive as Feiler searches across three continents for the stories and heroes shared by Christians and Jews. You'll visit the slopes of Mount Ararat, where Noah's ark landed, trek to the desert outpost where Abraham first heard the words of God, and scale the summit where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Using the latest archeological research, Feiler explores how physical location affects the larger narrative of the Bible and ultimately realizes how much these places, as well as his experience, have affected his faith. A once-in-a-lifetime journey, Walking the Bible offers new insights into the roots of our common faith and uncovers fresh answers to the most profound questions of the human spirit.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An exploration of the way Adam and Eve introduced the idea of love into the world, and how they continue to shape our deepest feelings about relationships, family, and togetherness. Since antiquity, Adam and Eve have stood at the center of every conversation about men and women. Yet instead of celebrating them, history has blamed them for bringing sin, deceit, and death into the world. In this fresh retelling of their story, Bruce Feiler travels from the Garden of Eden in Iraq to the Sistine Chapel in Rome, discovering how Adam and Eve should be hailed as exemplars of a long-term, healthy, resilient relationship. At a time of discord and fear over the strength of our social fabric, Feiler shows how history's first couple can again be role models for unity, forgiveness, and love.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. When Bruce Feiler completed his last book, which introduced readers to his idea of the 'nonlinear life,' he realized that the greatest source of change in the world is work. Unprecedented numbers of Americans are quitting their jobs, rethinking their routines, breaking away from stifling preconceptions. The most stifling iron cage of all is the premise that each of us must have a 'career.' We must follow a linear path of success, choosing a dream early, locking into a trajectory, always climbing higher, until we reach 'the top.' Few ideas have created more misery, squandered more human potential, or ruined more relationships. Feiler has resolved to help all of us imagine better. The result is another milestone, an urgent cry for each of us to follow our own individual dream of success. The culmination of thousands of hours of interviews with an extraordinarily diverse and inspiring group of Americans, The Search assembles a mosaic of stories truly representative of our time. From this collection, Feiler has distilled a powerful new vision for how to think about work - and how to live accordingly. He shows that our lives are upended by a stream of 'workquakes' on average every two-and-a-half years. Sure, some people set a goal and stick with it, but Feiler produces overwhelming evidence that far more of us revise our passions, change our directions, rethink our priorities. Feeling lost and ashamed, we resent being forced to grab someone else's gold ring. The time has come to melt down those rings, and this book brings the heat. After dismantling 'the three lies about work,' Feiler lays out the one truth: that each of us must write our own story. Using the fundamentals of any good narrative, Feiler introduces the six questions to ask in times of change - Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How - that allow us to perform a meaning audit, tapping into our truest selves and our deepest hopes to create the meaning we crave. Both timely and timeless, this book arrives as the world questions our basic assumptions about work - and shows that the answers involve not following another supposed expert, but giving yourself to yourself, learning to dial into your own inner voice and turning the volume all the way up.…
