'Agnès Humbert bears devastating witness to her time ... An insider's account of the germination of the French Resistance' William Boyd 'Sober and testifying, sardonic and humorous ... A beautiful and powerful work of literature' The Times In the summer of 1940, as the German Occupation tightened its grip on Paris, Agnès Humbert helped to establish one of the first resistance cells. She had no experience in warfare: she was an art historian, as were most of her early comrades, colleagues from the Musée de l'Homme in Paris. All they had was an unquenchable desire to free their country from the horrors of Nazi occupation. Within a year the group was publishing a news bulletin, helping allied airmen escape and passing military information back to London. Then came the catastrophe of betrayal, followed by arrest and interrogation, imprisonment and trial and, for Agnès, deportation to slave labour camp in Germany. Résistance is the secret journal of a woman who never gave up hope, even in the face of impossible odds.

When you make the decision to lose weight, it can often be a struggle. As Christian women, we know that the word of God is our very present help in time of need. Patricia Thomas' husband brought her a journal as she began her weight loss journey, and she leaned on the word of God to help her successfully lose weight. A Christian Woman's Journal to Weight Loss: A Guide to Losing Weight with the Word can help you, too. In a week-by-week format, this book includes the 52 scriptures that Patricia relied on and her reflections on how those scriptures helped her face her weight loss challenges. The book follows each scripture with a journaling prompt that the reader can use to help her focus that scripture on her weight loss challenges and record her own reflections. God has a plan for our lives, and as women we have to remember that it is not to give of ourselves until we have just given out. We must make time to take care of the temple that we have been given, so that we can live and live abundantly.
