Fifteen-year-old Walter Stypes did not approve of his parents decision to move to a small town in rural Alabama. Nor did he approve of his father's unjust decision to make Walter dig up an old stump in the backyard of their newly purchased historic home. Admittedly yes, Walter had begged for years to have a private bathroom separate from "the unnecessaries," his three younger siblings, but having to clear a stump to make way for extensive house renovations was taking matters a bit too far.After all, it was Wade, the town bully, who had thrown the first book in the library. Walter had only acted in self-defense. Kenny, the creative and pretty girl who sat in front of Water in English, was his eye witness. But it was Woody, the stuttering oversized man/boy Walter had secretly recruited to be his personal bodyguard, who actually found the secret. The buried secret that would lead the unlikely trio on a quest to dig up the truth about an old town legend regarding a haunted tree in the cemetery.Stumped is a redemptive, yet humorous, coming-of-age story that champions the pursuit of goodness, truth, and beauty. Readers of all ages will treasure this heartwarming story about family, courage, and the meaning of friendship.

"The doctrine of the Atonement is the distinctive doctrine of Christianity. Over the course of many centuries of reflection, highly diverse interpretations of the doctrine have been proposed. In the context of this history of interpretation, Eleonore Stump considers the doctrine afresh with philosophical care. Whatever exactly the Atonement is, it is supposed to include a solution to the problems of the human condition, especially its guilt and shame. Stump canvasses the major interpretations of the doctrine that attempt to explain this solution and argues that all of them have serious shortcomings. In their place, she argues for an interpretation that is both novel and yet traditional and that has significant advantages over other interpretations, including Anselm's well-known account of the doctrine. In the process, she also discusses love, union, guilt, shame, forgiveness, retribution, punishment, shared attention, mind-reading, empathy, and various other issues in moral psychology and ethics."--
Only the most naïve or tendentious among us would deny the extent and intensity of suffering in the world. Can one hold, consistently with the common view of suffering in the world, that there is an omniscient, omnipotent, perfectly good God? This book argues that one can. Wandering in Darkness first presents the moral psychology and value theory within which one typical traditional theodicy, namely, that of Thomas Aquinas, is embedded. It explicates Aquinas's account of the good for human beings, including the nature of love and union among persons. Eleonore Stump also makes use of developments in neurobiology and developmental psychology to illuminate the nature of such union. Stump then turns to an examination of narratives. In a methodological section focused on epistemological issues, the book uses recent research involving autism spectrum disorder to argue that some philosophical problems are best considered in the context of narratives. Using the methodology argued for, the book gives detailed, innovative exegeses of the stories of Job, Samson, Abraham and Isaac, and Mary of Bethany. In the context of these stories and against the backdrop of Aquinas's other views, Stump presents Aquinas's own theodicy, and shows that Aquinas's theodicy gives a powerful explanation for God's allowing suffering. She concludes by arguing that this explanation constitutes a consistent and cogent defense for the problem of suffering.

Cricket radio announcers can have up to eight hours to fill, keeping listeners informed and entertained. It's no wonder, then, that they come out with the occasional howler or downright gaffe. This text is packed with funny cricket quotes for all cricket fans.
A newcomer has arrived in a small Welsh seaside town - a one-armed Liverpudlian. Seeking to rebuild his life, if not his body, he is attempting to lead a life here unlike any he's lived before: a normal one - shopping, gardening, signing on, visiting friends, all the usual diurnal activities. Over a hundred miles to the north, however, two men in shellsuits are leaving Liverpool, heading south in a rickety old car. They have been sent by their gang-boss to wreak terrible, violent revenge, but have only a rough idea of their quarry: a one-armed man, maybe living somewhere in west Wales, in a small town by the sea.
