Pachetul conține: The Monster of Moscow: Partea I + The Monster of Moscow: Partea II, ambele cu printed edges, lăcuire selectivă și două semne de carte tematice.
Partea 1:
Adeline Baker nu crede în coincidențe. Mai ales nu în cele care miros a sânge.
Iar noul ei vecin… este exact genul acela de coincidență. Nimic altceva nu ar explica liniștea aceea apăsătoare din apartamentul lui, privirea goală, de parcă viața a trecut prin el sau senzația constantă că ceva nu este… uman.
Problema? Nu îi este frică.
Nici de el. Nici de felul în care o privește uneori, ca și cum ar analiza exact cât de ușor ar putea să o omoare. Din contră, îl urmărește cu o curiozitate periculoasă, fără să știe că s-a apropiat prea mult de un bărbat care trăiește la limita nebuniei.
Kirill Volkov nu este genul de monstru despre care se spun povești. Este genul care le creează. Pakhan al uneia dintre cele mai periculoase organizații mafiote, Kirill nu simte vină. Nu simte teamă. Nu simte nimic. Sau, cel puțin, așa a fost până la ea.
Adeline nu ar trebui să existe în lumea lui. Este o greșeală. O vulnerabilitate. Un risc care trebuie eliminat.
Și totuși…
Între dorința de a o distruge și impulsul inexplicabil de a o ține în viață, ceva începe să se fractureze în interiorul lui. Controlul, singurul lucru care l-a definit vreodată începe să îi alunece printre degete. Iar ceea ce se naște în locul lui nu este salvare. Este ceva mult mai periculos.
Partea 2:
Kirill Volkov nu mai este de mult un om care poate fi salvat. Pakhan ul familiei Volkov. O legendă rostită în șoaptă pe străzile murdare ale Moscovei. Un coșmar îmbrăcat impecabil, cu privire de gheață și mâini care nu tremură niciodată. Este precizie. Este control. Este tăcerea dinaintea unui glonț.
Meseria lui a fost mereu ușoară pentru el din același motiv pentru care numele său este peste tot: este incapabil de emoții. Dar ceva îngrozitor și sinistru începe să i se întâmple făcând ca umbrele trecutului, îngropate cu grijă sub ani de sânge și disciplină să se întoarcă.
Adeline Baker, fata care îl privește ca și cum ar fi încă om. Fata care îi invadează liniștea calculată și îi zdruncină echilibrul. Pentru că ea nu înțelege ce este el cu adevărat. Și mai grav, nu înțelege ce devine în preajma ei.
Fiecare zâmbet al ei e o provocare. Fiecare atingere, o amenințare. Îi invadează spațiul, îi destabilizează lumea și îi trezește ceva ce nu ar trebui să existe.
Obsesie.
Iar când trecutul lui se întoarce, mai brutal, mai înfometat, mai aproape decât a fost vreodată Adeline devine inevitabil parte din joc.
Într-o lume în care loialitatea se cumpără cu sânge, iar trădarea se plătește în suferință, cei doi sunt atrași unul spre celălalt ca două forțe incompatibile. Atracție. Manipulare. Dependență. O spirală care nu promite salvare. Doar distrugere.
Pentru că unele iubiri nu sunt făcute să vindece. Sunt făcute să ardă totul până nu mai rămâne nimic.

Finally, a practical parenting book!
Format: Kindle
Prior to reading this book, I didn’t feel confident in my approach to discipline. I would read parenting advice from different sources and sway back and forth from one extreme to the other—overly strict to too lenient. The approach of grace based disciple is balanced. The author recognizes that children will act like children and we shouldn’t expect them all to act like little robots. However, they still need discipline (not punishment!) for their misbehavior. She gave very practical lists of what consequences work best at each age and for each personality type, and went beyond that to say how to truly address the deeper issues associated with the misbehavior.
If you are wondering about her view on spanking (because most authors take a very strong stance on this) I think this book is very beneficial no matter which camp you are in. In the appendix, the author addresses spanking in a nonjudgmental way. She gives cautions if you decide to use spanking, and gives cautions if you decide not to use it.
My only criticism of this book is that one chapter talks about how we need to recognize the “home country” (personality) of each member of our household and she suggests using an assessment to determine what “country” your child is from. However, you must pay separately for the assessment and it isn’t cheap. This idea of what “country” you and your children are from is referenced again and again in the book so I feel like it should have been included in the appendix. However, this book is still worth it. Don’t let that keep you from buying it.

Mixed feelings
Format: Paperback
I had the opportunity to finish this book in one day of reading, while my 3 kids spent the day with grandparents. It is a very easy read, very accessible. Karis' style is very informal and she employs a lot of humor (and hyperbole), and that may be refreshing for some, though I found it distracting. I hope my criticisms will not be taken too harshly, and am certainly glad that others have found it inspiring or enlightening! We desperately need more grace based parenting in our homes and churches as we strive to undo the influence and damage of the punitive methods that have marred the face of Christian culture for so long! We need more books like this, that can reach every believing parent where they are, and inspire them to parent with the same grace and wisdom our Heavenly Father employs!
All that said, this was my experience reading the book: I felt the numerous anecdotes take up valuable space and time that would be better spent digging into passages of the Word and working through practical application. I was disappointed to not find a whole lot of either. If you are well-read on child development and "alternative" methods of discipline and childrearing (from those considered to be in the "anti-spanking camp"), you will find nothing new here. I didn't care for the rebranding of the classic four temperments and promoting supplemental Family Matters products... You can easily find many free tools and information reguarding personality psychology on the internet, and you will have a much deeper understanding. But personality is a shifty thing in youth anyway, and if you are not inclined to pursue that kind of study, I promise that simply resolving to spend more unstructured time with your children, to slow down and observe them at work or play, to listen with full attention, considering their perspective before answering or judging, you will learn more than what could ever be summerized in a personality type. Pegging a child in any brand of personality typing has it's own drawbacks. It can promote unfair assumptions, lead to misunderstandings, and cause confusion when trying to understand more subtle or complex behaviors and attitudes.
I appreciate her reasoning for not digging into the spanking issue in the main content of the book, setting that aside in the appendix in the back. She does a good job highlighting what gracious spanking looks like if you choose to do so. I am of a similar opinion that it is not a crucial point of doctrine and isn't always an issue of abuse or neglect either. It truly is a parent's prerogative and responisibility to consider the Word and the research and their own consience on the matter. If you do spank, follow her guidelines and you will not go wrong! I did find her characterizations of non-spankers, like myself, a bit condescending ("lazy", "fearful"), but to be fair she is addressing the extreme. If only you knew how much effort and time in research and reflection many of us sacrifice to employ better methods! It is very proactive approach and it is difficult work! I think she could have done a better job to include an objective summery of arguments in both camps for better understanding, but I really appreciate her exhorting those in both camps to avoid contention and judgement. It should never be an issue that causes us to break fellowship with a brother or sister!
There is a good chapter on what she calls the "3 P's", a helpful framework for discerning the whole truth of God's word. But as far as parenting goes, personally, I didn't find anything new or particularly helpful here. I will be gifting this to a good friend/newer mom who will likely get more out of it than I did. Maybe you will too!

Excellent, succinct, intro to Marxism...
Format: Paperback
Richard Wolff’s Understanding Marxism is an excellent and highly accessible populist work that introduces Marx’s critique of the inherent contradictions and inevitable problems that plague – and will continue to plague – capitalism. So, he sets out to show how the contemporary experience and understanding of the relationship between employer-employee emerge from because it is the modern manifestation of the historical distinction, which is hierarchical, oppressive and ultimately “exploitative, between master-slave and Lord-serf - Zizek, in his small text The Relevance of the Communist Manifesto, offers a unique response to this line of critique and reasoning.
Above I mention the accessibility of the writing – in fact, there is a crystalline clarity to it - and if you have watched Wolff’s show or listened to his interviews, it’s as if Wolff is speaking in his usual manner that avoids academic jargon and communicates his ideas directly. This is an extremely helpful and useful guide to understanding Marx, and I am hoping many young intelligent politically-minded university students will read it – e.g., those who might be unfamiliar with Marx - because it offers a sensible corrective to the ill-informed Marxist critics on the so-called “intellectual dark web” (IDW) who repeatedly, without properly understanding Marx, scapegoat him and employ him as a bogeyman to enhance the arousal of fear and alarm with their rhetoric.
Ultimately, and here I agree with Wolff, Marx might be said – bound intimately with Marx’s notion of “species being” (a term Wolff avoids) – to show why “ending exploitation [is] necessary to actualize social commitments to liberty, equality, brotherhood, and democracy” (36-37). So, instead of a utopian (end-of-history) communist or socialist model for society, Wolff, through his reading of Marx, offers what might be termed a philosophical or even commonsensical (and achievable!) model of what a more socially aware and humanly grounded workplace might look like – one that is Marxist in nature and instantiates people coming together in more “democratic, egalitarian ways.” (71).
Wolff also directs readers to primary source material for further study - so, all the quotations included are traced to Marx's original writings, which readers are encouraged to seek out.
To conclude, readers must be aware that this pamphlet – indeed, this is what Wolff calls it – does not attempt to serve as a broad or sprawling introduction to Marx and his writings. Thus, when ordering it, be aware that it is not akin to academic introductions and critiques of Marx such as Peter Singer’s Marx: a Very Short Introduction (OUP) or Allen Wood’s Karl Marx (Routledge).

Excellent Essay
Format: Paperback
Wolff is a one of the best people I know of to deliver a quick handbook to Marx. He delivers a master class on this complicated subject and I have long respected his views on economics and politics.

Awesome Introduction. A quick, easy read.
Format: Paperback
Very good overview and a quick little read! I was able to read this in a day, despite having ADHD. That, in my opinion, is a testament to the engaging, straight-forward writing style. I now feel well-versed enough in thd basics to read more in-depth texts. Highly recommended.
