"What are the odds against winning the Lotto, The Weakest Link, or Who Wants to be a Millionaire? The answer lies in the science of probability, yet many of us are unaware of how this science works. Every day, people make judgements on a wide variety of situations where chance plays a role, including buying insurance, betting on horse-racing, following medical advice - even carrying an umbrella. In Taking Chances, John Haigh guides the reader round common pitfalls, demonstrates how to make better-informed decisions, and shows where the odds can be unexpectedly in your favour. This new edition has been fully updated, and includes information on top television shows, plus a new chapter on Probability for Lawyers."--BOOK JACKET.

Eighteen year old Harper has grown up under her career-Marine father’s thumb.

She finds herself being torn in two as she quickly falls in love with Brandon, who becomes her boyfriend—and her roommate’s brother Chase. Covered in tattoos, known for fighting in the Underground and ridiculously muscled...they’re exactly what she was always warned to stay away from, but just what she needs.

Evil had to be defeated and he had a responsibility to help. Now it was too late to do anything but spend the lives of millions of young men to defeat this new Dark Age. The mountains were witness to Sidney's determination to stand tall against the darkness. "Those mountains have always been there. They can be my memorial if I don't come back." This family story spans five generations through the Indian Wars of the Dakotas and Montana, both world wars and Vietnam. It speaks to the heartbreak war often brings when young men roll the dice to answer the call of duty. The story weaves tales of separation, unrequited love, intense romance and devotion to promises and honour. At it's heart, this is an anti war story that illustrates how family can be devastated by conflict while also speaking to the healing of spirit that passes from one generation to the next.

One fact is clear today: we live in a self-centered world. Young Christians often want to live up to God's purpose for them, but the pressure brought on by friends, relationships, the media, and future plans make it hard to always choose the virtuous, peaceful path that will lead them toward God. Thankfully, there is a way to develop a Christ-centered life, and it all starts with focusing on God's Word. In his life-changing book, Rick Flores shares what he has learned in his years as a youth pastor about the hurdles young Christians face, and what they can do to keep their eyes on the life they want. He invites readers to think about some of the most important decisions they will every make: - Who will you serve? - What voice will guide your life? - What will you do when faced with temptation? - How will you prepare for love and marriage? - What kind of legacy will you leave? Young Christians will discover decision points to guide their lives and will learn to consider the long-term when weighing consequences. Perfect for personal growth or group studies and classrooms, young men and women will also realize the wealth of insight and guidance available in God's Word. Turn your focus toward Christ, and change your life today!
