The outcome is anything but predictable when an exhausted hotel guest sets out in search of sleep in this kid-pleasing romp full of visual humor. Will Mr. Snore ever get some shut-eye at the busy Sharemore Hotel? The room on the first floor is too noisy. The room on the second floor is too crowded. The room on the third floor is too damp. Everywhere Mr. Snore goes, with a dutiful bellhop leading the way, he encounters something that’s bound to keep him awake. Why is it so hard to find some peace and quiet? Perhaps Mr. Snore will have better luck on the thirteenth floor. . . . From author and playwright Wade Bradford and award-winning illustrator Kevin Hawkes comes a laugh-out-loud tale that plays with expectations and revelations — and reveals a surprisingly thought-provoking final twist.

This book combines in one volume the best of Joseph and Anu's works for young adults. In Young and Found, Joseph and Anu share practical and biblical wisdom on the complex everyday challenges that young Christians face. Subjects covered include personal development, hearing God’s voice, sex and sexuality, parent-youth relationships, faith, integrity, fun, marriage, managing weaknesses, prayer, pioneering, time and money management — to mention but a few. In Is This Opportunity From God?, reflecting on scripture and personal experience, Joseph lays out 7 checkpoints to help the reader discern if an opportunity is indeed from God or just another distraction from God's best plan. In Marriage in View, Joseph and Anu, through their love story, draw young people to engage with the tested and timeless countercultural principles upon which the institution of marriage is established. In Waiting Compass, Joseph presents 5 'peaces' of transformational thoughts helping the reader to find God when He seems to delay. And in #Unaddicted, Joseph shares some liberating thoughts on how to overcome sexual addictions, sharing unreservedly from his journey through the same struggles. Each of these books have been a tremendous blessing to thousands of Christian young adults and millennials over the years.

First published in 1988, this book examines the aspects of pragmatic competence involving the class of preposing constructions in English. By limiting the scope of investigation to particular grammatical categories, the author argues previous studies have failed to capture significant pragmatic generalisations. The author asserts what distinguishes one preposing type from another are the semantic and pragmatic properties of the referent of that constituent. After a review of the past literature on preposing, the book goes on to present a pragmatic theory in which two discourse functions of preposing are proposed. It then provides a functional taxonomy of the various preposing types which the theory is designed to account for. One type of preposing, Topicalization, and two of its subtypes, Proposition Affirmation and Ironic Preposing, are discussed in detail in the subsequent chapters before the book concludes with a summary along with directions for future research.
