But long before the Granada TV serial came along it was his most enduringly popular novel the current Penguin reprint is the nineteenth in its line. The worst of his, worse even than The Loved One, must be Brideshead Revisited.

Maybe he thought he was holy enough to touch something he shouldn’t. We feel sorry for Uzzah, don’t we? From our perspective, he was simply a man with good intentions. The ark-that precious symbol of God’s holy, holy, holy presence-started tilting over.Īs it did, a man named Uzzah extended his hand to grab the ark and prevent it from touching the ground, and “The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act therefore God struck him down, and he died there beside the ark of God” (2 Sam. Upon reaching the threshing floor, the oxen forgot its legs and started to dip near the ground. But instead of referring to God’s Word for how to handle God’s stuff, the people took their cues from the Philistines. According to the law, the ark was to be carried on the shoulders of the Levites with poles. A deadly mistake that would cost a man his life. When it came time, after retaking the ark of the covenant from the Philistines, to return it to Jerusalem, the Israelites set it on a cart. ![]() ![]() ![]() 8 seed ( Miami Heat) have advanced to the second round in the same season.Įven though the Lakers are fairly significant underdogs to the Warriors, oddsmakers like the chances of the series going seven games.

The Warriors won the 2015, 20 NBA Finals against the Cavaliers while Cleveland beat the Warriors in seven games in 2016. It’s the first time Curry and James have faced off in a playoff series that wasn’t the NBA Finals or when James was on the Cavaliers. Since the series features both Curry and LeBron James it’s an obvious statement that it’s the biggest of the second round for the NBA even though both teams were the lower seed in their first-round matchups. ![]() If you think the Lakers can win the series or in seven games, you can get L.A. ![]() The Warriors are at +135 to win the series by two games or more.

He examines the three elements of true motivation-autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live. In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home-is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.ĭrawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does-and how that affects every aspect of life. ![]() Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others).

Interestingly, the blurb sells the book as “ Titanic meets The Shining”, which is a decent pitch, but I have seen others bill call it “ Ghost Ship meets Event Horizon”, which is also a cool and catchy hook.ĭead Silence is convincingly carried and narrated by central character Claire Kovalik, who is damaged, unpredictable and blessed with a fascinating childhood backstory which gradually unpeels as the plot moves on. ![]() ![]() The sense of isolation on this lost ship is so complete with echoes of its violent past you can almost taste it in the back of the throat. Alternatively, in reading some of these startlingly original and eerie sequences, readers will be relieved they have both feet firmly planted on the ground rather than aimlessly drifting through uncharted space on the ghost ship ‘Aurora’.
