Book excerpt: What would happen if the United States abolished the death penalty and emptied its Death Rows? If killers were released from prison? What would they do with their second chance to live? Would they kill again? Back From The Dead is the story of 589 former death row inmates who, through a lottery of fate, were given a second chance at life in 1972 when the death penalty was abolished; it returned to the United States four years later. During the years she represented Walter Williams on Texas’ Death Row, Cheever always wondered what would happen if his death sentence was reversed and he was eventually released from prison. Would he have killed again? Two years after Williams’ execution, Cheever was determined to find the answer. Leaving her young family and comfortable life in suburbia, she traveled across the U.S. and into the lives and homes of former Death Row inmates, armed only with a tape recorder, notepad, a cell phone that didn’t always work, and a lot of faith. In Back from the Dead , Cheever describes her own journey and reveals these tales of second chances: of tragedy and failure, racism and injustice, and redemption and rehabilitation.

Book excerpt: An honest, irreverent, laugh-out-loud guide to coping with death and dying from Emmy-nominated writer and New York Times bestselling co-author of Sh*tty Mom Laurie Kilmartin. Death is not for the faint of heart, and sometimes the best way to cope is through humor. No one knows this better than comedian Laurie Kilmartin.

If you are old and about to die, sick and about to die, or with a loved one who is about to pass away or who has passed away, there’s something for you. With chapters like “Are You An Old Man With Daughters? Please Shred Your Porn,” “If Cancer was an STD, It Would Be Cured By Now,” and “Unsubscribing Your Dead Parent from Tea Party Emails,” Laurie Kilmartin guides you through some of life’s most complicated moments with equal parts heart and sarcasm.
Download or read book How to Raise the Dead Back to Life written by Frequency Revelator and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you aspire to be mightily used by God in the demonstration of unusual signs and wonders such as raising the dead? This Holy Ghost-breathed book practically demonstrates how the dead are raised and exhaustively examines the subject of raising the dead in depth. It practically demonstrates step by step how one can raise the dead back to life and also outlines with practical evidence the divine strategies which believers can use to bring the dead back to life. It brims with provocative insights that provide a unique and ground breaking entry into the phenomenon of raising the dead, which for ages have remained an implausible, inexplicable and unfathomable subject. It is jam-packed with divine insights that will take you through a journey out of the convictions of ordinary life of complacency and mediocrity to plunge into the greater depths of the miraculous. The theologically challenging, deeply provoking and incredibly inspiring, hard-to-get revelations encapsulated in this book are set to revolutionise the course of your life for ever. The depth and density of Throne Room revelations it contains requires the reader to make a conscientious effort to digest its morsels, hence it is dangerous to casual Christianity. This is such a provocative kind of book that immediately after you read it, you will feel an irresistibly strong edge to invade death infested territories such as hospitals, mortuaries, psychic prisons, rehabilitation centres and people's homes to raise the dead. It will cause you to explode in the demonstration of signs and wonders that will ruffle the feathers of those comfortable with the status quo and dazzle the minds of those who have pitched their tent in the valley of mediocrity and are sailing their boats through the shallow streams of spiritual understanding. It will launch you into an arena of divine exploits whereby you will raise the dead as if you are waking up people from their slumber.Presiding over a global network of apostolic and prophetic visions, in the capacity of the President of Christ Resurrection Movement (CRM), the Director of Global School of Resurrection (GSR), Senior Pastor of Resurrection Embassy (RE), the founder of Resurrection TV (The Dead-Raising Channel) and the pioneer of the renowned Global School of Signs and Wonders (GSSW), Apostle Frequency Revelator unpacks a plethora of rare but provocative revelations that the dead are raised in this Kairos moment as God is launching men and women into deeper and unexplored territories of the Glory Realm. This book is a wake-up call for radical revivalists and revolutionaries to rise up on this epic transition and take their rightful place on earth by curtailing the mass rampage instigated by the devil through alarming deaths and eradicating the syndrome of death that has gripped the masses for ages. On that note, congratulations for joining the bandwagon of raising the dead and welcome to the world whereby it's naturally supernatural to raise the dead!

In a heartbroken fury, armed with dark incantations and a secret power, Wren decides that what she wants—what she must do—is to bring Danny back. But the Danny who returns is just a shell of the boy Wren fell in love with. His touch is icy; his skin, smooth and stiff as marble; his chest, cruelly silent when Wren rests her head against it. Wren must keep Danny a secret, hiding him away, visiting him at night, while her life slowly unravels around her. Then Gabriel DeMarnes transfers to her school, and Wren realizes that somehow, inexplicably, he can sense the powers that lie within her—and that he knows what she has done. And now Gabriel wants to help make things right. But Wren alone has to undo what she has wrought—even if it means breaking her heart all over again.

Book excerpt: Stephenie Meyer meets John Green in this original supernatural romance! Love knows no boundaries . . . even death. Phoebe Kendall is just your typical goth girl with a crush. He's strong and silent . . . and dead. All over the country, a strange phenomenon is occurring. Some teenagers who die aren't staying dead. But when they come back to life, they are no longer the same. Feared and misunderstood, they are doing their best to blend into a society that doesn’t want them. The administration at Oakvale High attempts to be more welcoming of the 'differently biotic'. But the students don’t want to take classes or eat in the cafeteria next to someone who isn’t breathing. And there are no laws that exist to protect the 'living impaired' from the people who want them to disappear—for good. When Phoebe falls for Tommy Williams, the leader of the dead kids, no one can believe it; not her best friend, Margi, and especially not her neighbor, Adam, the star of the football team. Adam has feelings for Phoebe that run much deeper than just friendship; he would do anything for her. But what if protecting Tommy is the one thing that would make her happy?
