Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you ready to rock? Lily Crandell has always lived in the shadow of her older sister, Lauren, who has a successful career as a wedding planner and a perfect husband and baby boy. Known within her family for being an aimless, impulsive trouble-magnet, Lily finally decides she may as well live up to her reputation: she elopes with new beau and would-be rock star Ted Dayton. But just as quickly as his band skyrockets, Lily's marriage crashes and burns. When news of her ex's new love with sultry and silicone-enhanced actress Melanie Slate hits the tabloids, she flees the country. Hello, London! Across the pond, Lily shares a flat with an old flame -- a commitment-phobic doctor who convinces her that the best prescription for her broken heart is volunteering at the local hospital. Turns out, he's right, as one of the patients, famed soccer star Sean Gates, takes more than a passing interest in Lily's quirky style. But things get complicated when her ex's band starts flying up the British charts. Ted comes to town, the paparazzi camp on her doorstep, and her new fling and old flame both find rumors that Lily and her ex are planning a little reunion tour rather troublesome. Is there a happily ever after at the end of this rocky road?

Download or read book But Now I See written by John A. Brothers and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-11-25 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: But Now I See is the dramatic story of a Vietnam veteran turned Protestant minister, who wrestles with questions about guilt and about forgiveness, who gets it and who doesn't? Rev. Will McKenzie ministers to a large congregation among the elegant but decadent society of pre-Katrina New Orleans. When a member of his congregation murders her unfaithful husband, Will's wartime flashbacks accelerate, pressing him to face his own inner conflicts and driving him to resolve guilt for what he did during the war and guilt for surviving when others died. As he struggles, Will encounters repeated lures from a seductive church member, the unending demands of his congregation, and his own brush with emotional breakdown. The novel offers spiritual and psychological insights into our human nature and the dynamics of guilt and forgiveness. Written with dry humor amid life's unflinching realism, the narrative lures the reader deeper and deeper into the essence of human existence. Will's inner transformation invites us to evaluate our own views of love and acceptance, in the face of guilt and the need for forgiveness. A rich and profound experience awaits the reader of this exceptional novel.
Download or read book But Now I See written by Steven Holcomb and published by BenBella Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-12-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the top bobsledders in the world and leader of the four-man American team, Steven Holcomb had finished sixth in the 2006 Olympics and medaled in nearly every competition he entered. He was considered a strong gold contender for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games. Talented, aggressive, and fearless, he was at the top of his game. But Steven Holcomb had a dangerous secret. Steven Holcomb was going blind. In the prime of his athletic career, he was diagnosed with keratoconus—a degenerative disease affecting 1 in 1,000 and leaving 1 in 4 totally blind without a cornea transplant. In the world of competitive sports, it was a dream killer. Not a sport for the timid, bobsledding speeds approach 100 miles per hour through a series of hairpin turns. Serious injuries—even deaths—can result. But Holcomb kept his secret from his coach, sled mates, and the public for months and continued to drive the legendary sled The Night Train. When he finally told his coach, Holcomb was led to a revolutionary treatment, later named the Holcomb C3-R. With his sight restored to 20/20, Holcomb became the first American in 50 years to win the International Bobsled and Skeleton Federation World Championship, and the first American bobsledder since 1948 to win the Olympic gold medal. With a foreword by Geoff Bodine, NASCAR champion and founder of the Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project, But Now I See is the intimate portrait of a man's pursuit of a dream, laced with humility and the faith to find a way when all seems hopeless. It's about knowing anything is possible and the gift of a second chance.

Download or read book I Was Blind Dating But Now I See written by Stephanie Rische and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight setups. Eight awkward dates. Eight things God tried to teach her along the way. (Some of which she’s still trying to figure out.) Stephanie Rische was starting to feel invisible. All around her, her friends were getting married, and she found herself decidedly alone. Stephanie couldn’t help but wonder if there was something broken in her—was she not pretty enough? Not fun enough? Not dateable enough (whatever that meant)? So she started praying in earnest for God to bring the right man into her life. And instead, He brought her matchmakers. Eight of them, to be precise. Beloved blogger Stephanie Rische debuts with this charming, vulnerable, and (who are we kidding?) often mortifying true story of a girl who tried really hard to find someone to fall in love with—even when she mostly just ended up falling flat on her face. But amid the most cringeworthy setups and awkward encounters, Stephanie found God’s grace and love meeting her there in ways she never could have imagined—once she opened her eyes to see.
Download or read book Was Blind But Now I See written by Barbara J. Flagg and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law professor Flagg contends that most white people associate race with skin pigment: the less someone has of the latter, the less they have of the former. Thinking they have no race therefore, they proclaim their decisions to be race-neutral when they actually reflect white race-specific norms that are invisible to them. She shows how the blindness translates into institutional racism in laws, and suggests some reforms. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Download or read book But Now I See written by Fred Hobson and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1999-04-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term “conversion narrative” usually refers to a particular form of expression that arose in Puritan New England in the seventeenth century. In that sense—the purely religious—the conversion narrative belongs to a rather remote history. But in this lucid, pathbreaking work, Fred Hobson uses the expression in another sense—in the realm of the secular—to describe a much more recent phenomenon, one originating in the American South and marking a new mode of southern self-expression not seen until the 1940s. Hobson applies the term “racial conversion narrative” to several autobiographies or works of highly personal social commentary by Lillian Smith, James McBride Dabbs, Katharine Du Pre Lumpkin, Sarah Patton Boyle, Will Campbell, Larry L. King, Willie Morris, Pat Watters, and other southerners, books written between the mid-1940s and the late 1970s in which the authors—all products of and willing participants in a harsh, segregated society—confess racial wrongdoings and are “converted,” in varying degrees, from racism to something approaching racial enlightenment. Indeed, the language of many of these works is, Hobson points out, the language of religious conversion—“sin,” “guilt,” “blindness,” “seeing the light,” “repentance,” “redemption,” and so forth. Hobson also looks at recent autobiographical volumes by Ellen Douglas, Elizabeth Spencer, and Rick Bragg to show how the medium persists, if in a somewhat different form, even at the very end of the twentieth century. But Now I See is a study both of this particular variety of the southern impulse to self-examination and of those who seem to have retained the habit of seeking redemption, even if of a secular variety. Departing from the old vertical southern religion—salvation-centered with heaven as its goal—these racial converts embrace a horizontal religion which holds that getting right with man is at least as important as getting right with God. A refreshingly original treatment of racial change in the South, Hobson’s provocative work introduces a new subgenre in the field of southern literature. Anyone interested in the history and literature of the American South will be fascinated by this searching volume.
Download or read book All Is Beauty Now written by Sarah Faber and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set against the seductive world of 1960s Rio de Janeiro, an exquisite debut novel about family secrets, divided loyalties, and what we're willing to do to save ourselves. This mesmerizing first novel follows a glamorous family as they prepare to leave the seeming paradise of Brazil for Canada in the wake to the mysterious disappearance -- and presumed drowning -- of their eldest daughter a year earlier. As the novel moves back and forth between the members of the Maurer family, we are taken into the heart of a family whose beauty and charm belie a more troubling reality. We meet the family's brilliant and charismatic father, whose bipolar extremes are becoming increasingly disturbing; his long-suffering wife, who once had a brief affair that proves to have shattering consequences for the family she swore to protect; their two remaining daughters, both on the brink of understanding the darker currents that run in their once-proud family; and the lost daughter herself, a beautiful young woman undone by her own grand delusions. Taking readers from the golden beaches of Rio to the poverty of its fishing villages, from the glamour of the legendary Copacabana Club to the austerity of a remote convent, this revelatory novel takes us into the soul of a family already living in the shadow of loss and now poised to leave behind everything they've ever known, if only they could make peace with the past.
Download or read book Not Now but Now written by M. F. K. Fisher and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those who court danger are often the most circumspect. In this stylish novel, M. F. K. Fisher traces the course of Jennie, a willful wandering woman, a lovely enchantress calculating the havoc caused by her life of danger and license. Jennie's path is devastating to those around her, a sinister invasion. But Jennie, more Lilith than Eve, survives unscathed. First published in 1947, Not Now But Now traces the subtleties and nuances of a woman's mind. Jennie is not controlled by others, nor by time, and we follow her through separate eras and beautifully drawn settings. Whether in San Francisco, Chicago, Lausanne, or Paris, Jennie is surrounded by sensuality, fine food and furniture, and beautiful clothes. Those not yet familiar with Fisher's style will delight in her careful, exact prose. She is the author of several books, including How to Cook a Wolf, A Considerable Town, The Cooking of Provincial France, and As They Were.

Download or read book I Was Blind But Now I See written by Ahmed Abaza and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE MILKWEED PROPHESY;EPITAPH OF THE APOCALYPSE, is an incredible and in-depth explanation of not only the Apocalypse, but told from an an actual "involvement" where the author herself ensplenders her own emotional framework in a manner of religious literature that has never been captured before. All of these events were based solely upon the Professor's lifetime of visions and actual "visitations' and apparitions and actual visitations of Mary, the Mother of God, and actual accounted events that have been witnessed by credible people. This book of uncommon insights will starled the mind, and very heart of the reader, as he is taken on horseback into the actual Apocalypse, and stares face to face with the Devil himself-LUCIFER! The near possesion this young author claims boldly, as this was also documented and witnessed, but the literal "protection" from God saved Milkweed after her only suicide attempt. This book powerfully illustrates what it is truely like to be a believer, but one who is chosen long ago to understand and to teach, and even now fooling her medical doctors and living well beyond her expected time alotted to her, but still extremely deteriorated from this catastrophic termainl illness that plagues her mysterious life. This work, "divinely" inspired, is highly reccommended for anyone who truely wants and needs to know about the Book of God's Revelations, as well as about himself. This same remarkible book of stunning words translate themselves likend to the Bible, as the author clearly defines herself, but without ever in abruption of the eternal glory of God. Her impressive artwork, as well as photography, is also here to enlighten and illuminate the mind, and to hopefully make all understand the truth of God's Kingdom, and the ultimate sacrifice; the cricifixion and dereliction of our God-Jesus the Christ!
