Tim Adams est depuis longtemps fasciné par les genres de la science-fiction et du fantastique dès son enfance. Son œuvre se penche sur ces genres, explorant leurs thèmes et leurs possibilités. Le style d'écriture d'Adams est captivant, avec des récits conçus pour captiver les lecteurs et susciter la réflexion.
The greatest sports stars characterise their times. Tim Adams sets out to explore what it might have meant to be John McEnroe during those times, and in his subsequent lives, and to define exactly what it is we want from our sporting heroes: how we require them to play out our own dramas;
The common misperception about Bible doctrine is that such teaching is boring. Dr. Adams brings to life and interest ten major Bible Doctrines from God's Word. You will not be bored with this compelling book. The first chapter discusses why the question, "Where did God come from," does not fit reality any more than "What does the color blue smell like?" How about the question in Chapter Two which asks, "If Jesus Christ had died on the cross but was never raised from the dead, could we be saved?" Thorough answers are given to provocative questions about God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, Satan, Man, Salvation, the Church, the Bible, and Prophecy. The inclusion of the chapter on Prayer, suggesting that prayer is the Christian's greatest expression of dependency on God, is priceless. It exceeds most doctrinal studies that rarely touch the subject. This book would be incredibly useful to teach in small group Bible studies or in a whole congregational setting. Help your life to be "grounded and settled" in the truth so that you would not be "so soon moved" to another gospel (Colossians 1:23 and Galatians 1:6).
Originating from a captivating photo shared on social media, the book explores the intersection of humor and horror through a collection of strange and bizarre tales. The lighthearted banter around the image inspires a deeper dive into eerie narratives, blending the ordinary with the uncanny. Each story invites readers to embrace the unexpected and confront the unusual in a playful yet chilling manner.
John McEnroe war in den Achtzigern die Nummer 1 im Tennis, und er war mehr: Legendär sind seine Duelle mit Björn Borg und sein exzentrisches Auftreten auf dem Platz. Being John McEnroe ist das beeindruckende Porträt dieses großen Tennisspielers, seiner Triumphe, Ängste und Ausbrüche - und zugleich ein scharfsinniger literarischer Essay, der vom Wandel des Tennis seit den achtziger Jahren und dem Beginn des Starkults im Sport erzählt.
