Book excerpt: Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. Enthralled by its windswept beauty, they soon were the proud owners of a near-derelict croft house—a farmer’s stone cottage—on “a small acre” of land. Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse. Call the Nurse is her account of the enchanted years she and her family spent there, coming to know its folk as both patients and friends. In anecdotes that are by turns funny, sad, moving, and tragic, she recalls them all, the crofters and their laird, the boatmen and tradesmen, young lovers and forbidding churchmen. Against the old-fashioned island culture and the grandeur of mountain and sea unfold indelible stories: a young woman carried through snow for airlift to the hospital; a rescue by boat; the marriage of a gentle giant and the island beauty; a ghostly encounter; the shocking discovery of a woman in chains; the flames of a heather fire at night; an unexploded bomb from World War II; and the joyful, tipsy celebration of a ceilidh. Gaelic fortitude meets a nurse’s compassion in these wonderful true stories from rural Scotland.

Book excerpt: Is God interested in your everyday life, trials, sorrows, grief?..... Yes, indeed. How often have we heard people say, “God doesn’t care about our troubles”, and “God helps those who help themselves”. Well, people can live that way for a while, as long as they have the strength-but, the time comes, when strength fails, and many fall into the ditch of life, and never get up. I’ve found, when we fail, when we lose our strength to go on, when we can’t put on a good front for people, and they may walk out the door.....if we will just call his Name, He will come in. Whatever the problem, whatever the trial, whatever the circumstances- He is only a prayer away, a whisper is all it takes, and I’ve learned through a lifetime of depending on Him- He never fails. He hears, and answers prayer. It may not be overnght, and He may test you to see if you’ll stand in faith. But, He’s proven to me beyond any doubt-His ears are open to the cries of His people. In my life’s journey, I’ve accumulated a lifetime of journal accounts of answers to specific prayers-for my own personal needs, and in intercession concerning nations. It’s my hope, and prayer that those who read this story, will see a consistant pattern of standing against the forces of darkness, and gaining ground in prayer, and victory in the storms, and adversities of life. What God has done for me, He will do for anyone, if they’ll just open the door of their heart, and let Him in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Applause Books). In Rest Area , Clay McLeod Chapman offered a view into the lives of Southern Gothic monstrosities. Now, the 40 tales of Nothing Untoward delve into the depraved minds of those madmen and women who drift along the periphery of humankind. Sometimes darkly humorous, sometimes strangely heartbreaking, these stories explore the domestic horrors of the everyday, finding terror within our own households. Haunting and hilarious, these sharply tuned diatribes are more than simple horror stories in the traditional sense. These offbeat psychological portraits are presented from the perspectives of the very monsters themselves. The heroes of these tales are murderers, loners, and drifters. Spanning over 20 years of the rigorous storytelling session "The Pumpkin Pie Show," the tales collected here are to be read out loud or to yourself, if you're brave enough. The oral tradition is alive and well with these stories, captured on the page for you to share around the campfire, or flip through in bed late at night. These are ghost stories for people who don't believe in ghosts, haunted by their own crumbling minds and wounded hearts. A perfect mixture of tongue-and-cheek gallows humor, psychological terror, and character-based storytelling, Nothing Untoward: Stories from "The Pumpkin Pie Show" focuses on the darker side of domesticity and won't let go.

He’s forced to reckon with his politics and his social consciousness when one of the congressman’s past misdeeds lands them both in the center of a national scandal.

The Congressman’s scandal, Damion’s hit men and the woman’s scorn test the brothers’ already strained relationship.
