Robyn Cross was looking forward to Christmas but not anymore. Not after she found out that her husband cheated on her so she wants to divorce him despite loving the bones of the man, which makes it worse. Only first, they decide that for the sake of everybody they know and love that they will spend one last perfect Christmas together and try to fake it until they make it past not only Christmas but New Year’s too and even beyond their daughter’s birthday. If they can just last that long without giving the game away that is, for this is all for show remember so no forgetting that and falling back into old habits. However, if they do fail then that will surely ruin the festivities altogether for not just them but their family too. Well they are all going on a three-day trip to a Winter Wonderland Hotel Experience, so the atmosphere needs to be warmer than the weather outside since that is cold enough for snow. Will they succeed and make it a memorable Christmas for all the right reasons? Will they mess up despite being on their best behaviour, when the ex turns up to pour fuel on the fire? If you are in need of some funny festive fiction to get you laughing through this special season, then pick up this hilarious British novel which contains quite a few swear words so you have been warned. While you can be glad, you’re not the potty mouthed Robyn Cross for actions do have consequences and they’re not always so easy to make good on. As she finds out, but will you?

From USA Today Bestselling author Jami Davenport comes a new Hockey Romance series featuring adorable animals, yummy hockey players, and relatable heroines. Join the men of the Spokane Lynx as they fall in love and battle for the future of their careers. My past has come back to haunt me. I'm the oldest player and the captain of a minor-league hockey team. My aspirations of playing in the big-time are fading, and I'm facing an uncertain future. My teammates decide to have a little fun at my expense and sign me up for a dating site. My first and last date happens to be with my old nemesis, Emory, who still blames me for ruining her chances as a hockey player. Not a fun time I'd wish on anyone. Imagine my surprise when the team's social media admin retires suddenly for personal issues, and Emory arrives as his replacement. We're butting heads at every turn much to the amusement of my teammates. The night of the Lynx holiday party, we're assigned to the same cabin as a result of an alleged administrative mistake, and there's no other room at the inn. If that isn't bad enough, a blizzard hits, and we're not going anywhere soon. Emory and I might greatly dislike each other, but we're also in denial regarding our mutual attraction. I don't see how this will end well for either of us, but it's Christmas, and perhaps the magic of the season might make the impossible, possible.

The origin and development of divine and resurrection Christologies are among the most important and controversial issues in the study of Christianity. One reason why there is a lack of consensus among scholars—even though they have access to the same historical material—is that different scholars analyze the material differently. Building upon his previous monographs The Origin of Divine Christology (Cambridge University Press, 2017) and Investigating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Routledge, 2020), Andrew Loke demonstrates the fallacies of reasoning in the analyses of the works of numerous scholars such as Bart Ehrman, Paula Fredriksen, David Litwa, Richard Carrier, Raphael Lataster, Daniel Kirk, Matthew Larsen, and Dale Allison. Loke defends his proposal that a sizeable group of earliest Christians perceived that Jesus claimed and showed himself to be truly divine and resurrected, and replies to objections to his previous works. He contributes to the discussion on ancient Jewish monotheism, exalted mediator figures, comparison with Greco-Roman literature, Jesus-mythicism, Markan Christology, the historical reliability of the New Testament, as well as the use of philosophical and theological categories and the use of psychological studies on parallel apparitions, cognitive dissonance, mass hysteria, pareidolia, and memory for the study of early Christology.
