[Order Now!] This 312 page hardbound volume contains the wit and wisdom of over twenty years of experience from Christian Life Ministries and Bill Ewing's influence as a biblical counselor. "It's just unbelievable," said Todd Hillard, one of the book's collaborative writers. "Even after the truck pulled up and we started opening boxes, my heart still didn't believe it was there. We've already processed and mailed out more than 1650 books and I'm still not convinced it's happening." Bill Ewing, the author, is just relieved that the principles contained in the book can now be widely distributed. "We've been counseling tired, discouraged and broken people one-on-one for decades. Now we have a vehicle to reach thousands with this message of hope and healing. Every time we do a conference or speak at a church we are always asked, 'Why don't you have a book?' Now we do. Now the message can spread."

Everything you need to know about creating REST API's to get real work done. No gatekeeping. No jargon. Mercifully short. Is this you? "I can't finish a single REST tutorial without wanting to flip a desk!" You don't need to become the world's leading expert on HTTP, you just need to learn how to make APIs that other developers will understand. But every time you try, the tutorials make you feel like you're not smart enough to work as a developer. They make you feel like a fraud! They might as well be written in a language from half way around the world. And worst of all, some people will put you down and ignore your questions simply for having the nerve to ask them. You are not a fraud, you're just using bad tutorials. First you were scared to learn REST because it seemed like there was SO MUCH to learn. What is an RFC, anyway? Who is Roy Fielding, and why does that matter? What's a mime type? What am I going to have to know before this will make sense? But everyone says REST is simple, so you set your fear aside and face the challenge. You start one tutorial, and another, and another, but the unexplained jargon is enough to drive even Mr. Rogers into a sweater-ripping, trolley-kicking, shoe-throwing rage! They start talking about nouns and verbs and you're left wondering what 3rd grade reading class has to do with making APIs. Either you gave up completely, or you gave up trying to learn the academics and best practices and did the best you could by feeling around in the dark. That experience could be helpful in deciphering one of those tutorials you hated, but do you really want to go back to that dark place? There has to be a better way. And there is. REST Assured skips the academic "you have to learn every detail!" approach and teaches the vocabulary in simple terms. Learn only what you need to know to make functional, secure REST APIs. And best of all, you can learn it all in just a couple of hours. Master the vocabulary with simple explanations. Get to work today: Fundamentals first, clearly, and succinctly. Everything you need to know about securing APIs. Packed with best practices learned from more than a decade of experience. It's mercifully short! Just because it's a book doesn't mean it should take a week to read.

Rest Assured gathers ninety Scripture infused devotionals for women seeking both peace amidst a busy day and greater spiritual guidance for the rest of their lives.

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28 Women are overcommitted, overconnected, overburdened, and overwhelmed.

Most importantly, it will give them the tools needed to break the cycle.

A seemingly idyllic English holiday park turns into the scene of a grisly murder and a perplexing case for Lambert & Hook Twin Lakes is a tranquil place. It is a complex of holiday homes in a particularly beautiful part of England. 'Rest Assured', says the sign at its entrance. And the people fortunate to occupy the luxury homes on the site are indeed able to relax in a beautiful setting. Then a series of mysterious threatening notes are delivered to one of the lakeside homes. DS Bert Hook conducts an informal investigation and the notes cease to appear. All is peaceful once more as spring moves into summer and the site is seen at its best. But suddenly a brutal death shatters the peace of this quiet place. As Lambert and Hook and the murder team investigate the crime, it emerges that the victim was by no means as innocent as most people thought him. And it seems that many of the residents lead far from ordinary lives and have secrets they will do anything to keep concealed . . .
