Moore Lucy Bücher
Lucy Moore taucht gerne in dramatische und oft raue Lebensgeschichten aus der Vergangenheit ein. Ihre Arbeit zeichnet sich durch eine scharfsinnige Untersuchung der menschlichen Natur aus, wobei sie sich oft auf Randfiguren der Gesellschaft konzentriert, wo Verbrechen, sozialer Aufstieg und Fall ineinandergreifen. Moore zeichnet meisterhaft lebendige Bilder historischer Epochen und zieht die Leser in eine Welt voller Intrigen und persönlicher Dramen. Ihr Ansatz basiert auf gründlicher historischer Recherche, die sie jedoch mit fesselnder Erzählkunst zum Leben erweckt.






Another messy outing from Lucy Moore, this book follows on from the popular Messy Church, which has sold over 4500 copies since it was first published in 2006. Alongside the usual mix of creativity, fun, Christian hospitality and thanksgiving Messy Church 2 explores the importance of discipleship, faith development and training for leadership. The material includes many ideas for practical ways to promote a sense of fellowship and community. The book contains a further fifteen units of fun, food, crafts and mess, with a year's worth of material that your Messy Church will love. There is also the guidance to enable those taking part to go deeper with God. Topics Key events in Jesus' life; Christian basics; Biblical stories of faith; Baptism and Holy Communion. Messy Church 2 is ideal for clergy, lay ministers and those responsible for all-age worship; it is also ideal for those involved with outreach to the wider community looking to build on the success of the Messy Church initiative. The book is written for an adult readership, but contains material designed to resource people of all ages.

The story of the pioneering anthropologists and their adventures among civilisations that were first thought of as being primitive and savage. What they discovered, however, would change the way we think about ourselves.
"In Maharanis Lucy Moore recreates the lives of four women: two grandmothers, a daughter and a granddaughter, all of them princesses of the royal courts of India." "Full of spirit and courage, each maharani changed the world she lived in, shaping the way modern Indian women define themselves. This is an intimate portrait of a nation during an era of great change - the rise and fall of the Raj and India's long road to Independence and beyond."
<b>An exhilarating portrait of the era of jazz, glamour, and gangsters from a bright young star of mainstream history writing.</b> The glitter of 1920s America was seductive, from jazz, flappers, and wild all- night parties to the birth of Hollywood and a glamorous gangster-led crime scene flourishing under Prohibition. But the period was also punctuated by momentous events-the political show trials of Sacco and Vanzetti, the huge Ku Klux Klan march down Washington DC's Pennsylvania Avenue-and it produced a dizzying array of writers, musicians, and film stars, from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Bessie Smith and Charlie Chaplin. In <i>Anything Goes</i>, Lucy Moore interweaves the stories of the compelling people and events that characterized the decade to produce a gripping portrait of the Jazz Age. She reveals that the Roaring Twenties were more than just "the years between wars." It was an epoch of passion and change-an age, she observes, not unlike our own.
