Captive Tome 1

L'histoire d'Asher et Ella par theblurredgirl aux plus de 19 millions de lectures sur Wattpad ! Au sein des réseaux criminels, là où règnent puissance, meurtre et pouvoir, il y avait elles. Les captives. Dangereuses, malignes, et mortelles, elles sont les ombres des plus grands réseaux, les représentantes de leurs chefs, aussi appelés possesseurs. Depuis son adolescence, Ella est une captive contre son gré. John, son possesseur, préfère utiliser son corps plutôt que ses talents, plongeant sa vie dans un cauchemar éveillé. Jusqu’au jour où il lui annonce qu’elle va travailler pour quelqu’un d’autre... Si Ella pensait qu'il ne pouvait y avoir pire que John, elle réalise très vite que son nouveau possesseur joue dans une tout autre catégorie. Ce certain « Ash », leader charismatique du réseau des Scott, refuse la présence d’une captive à ses côtés. Pour une raison obscure, il voue une haine viscérale à ces femmes. Un jeu dangereux s’installe alors entre eux, car Asher entend bien faire payer Ella, mais celle-ci ne compte pas céder... « Ne joue pas avec le diable, mon ange, ne t'aventure pas dans ce que tu regretteras. »

The mid-nineteenth century is a gold mine for contemporary scholars interested in American Protestant ecclesiology. There one will find the extensive writings of John Nevin who came to the notice of the theological world with The Anxious Bench, a critique of the "quackery" of Protestant revivalism. Influenced by a critical appropriation of cutting-edge contemporary German theology, he came to believe that the church was not "invisible," but the visible manifestation of Jesus Christ's incarnate life. Christians were to pursue unity, not in external institutional arrangements, but as unity of spiritual life. This compilation presents his theology of the catholicity of the church prior to his masterwork, The Mystical Presence, and a multifaceted, sophisticated critique of American sectarianism. This edition carefully preserves the original texts while providing extensive introductions, annotations, and bibliography. The Mercersburg Theology Study Series presents for the first time attractive, readable, scholarly modern editions of the key writings of the nineteenth-century movement known as the Mercersburg Theology. An ambitious multi-year project, it aims to make an important contribution to the academic community and to the broader public, who can at last be properly introduced to this unique blend of American and European Reformed and Catholic theology.

John Nevin’s vision of the church as “one, holy, catholic, and apostolic” grew out of his critique of the revivalism and sectarianism that prevailed throughout evangelical Christianity in the nineteenth century. He deepens his perception of catholicity as an expression of Christian wholeness, his response to the parochialism that ruled American religion and life. He grounds congregational life and mission in the Lordship of Jesus Christ, ordered by the whole Christian tradition, which comes into focus in the Apostles’ Creed. This edition carefully preserves the original texts while providing extensive introductions, annotations, and bibliography to both orient the reader and to facilitate further scholarship.

An American reporter's chilling account of being kidnapped and imprisoned by the Taliban, in the no-man's-land between Afghanistan and Pakistan Jere Van Dyk was on the wrong side of the border. He and three Afghan guides had crossed into the tribal areas of Pakistan, where no Westerner had ventured for years, hoping to reach the home of a local chieftain by nightfall. But then a dozen armed men in black turbans appeared over the crest of a hill. Captive is Van Dyk's searing account of his forty-five days in a Taliban prison, and it is gripping and terrifying in the tradition of the best prison literature. The main action takes place in a single room, cut off from the outside world, where Van Dyk feels he can trust nobody—not his jailers, not his guides (who he fears may have betrayed him), and certainly not the charismatic Taliban leader whose fleeting appearances carry the hope of redemption as well as the prospect of immediate, violent death. Van Dyk went to the tribal areas to investigate the challenges facing America there. His story is of a deeper, more personal challenge, an unforgettable tale of human endurance.
