But as Matt searches for answers about T.J.’s death, he faces a shocking revelation about T.J.’s life that suggests he may not have known T.J. as well as he thought. What he learns challenges him to stand up to his father, honor his brother’s memory, and take charge of his own life. With compassion, humor, and a compelling narrative voice, E. M. Kokie explores grief, social mores, and self-discovery in a provocative first novel.

Book excerpt: This is the real story that inspired the Netflix film, Bank of Dave. Dave Fishwick is a self-made, straight-talking man from Burnley who hates the banks. Fed up with never-ending tales of greed and corruption, he sets out to prove that there is a different way of doing things - by opening his own bank to help inject much-needed life into local businesses. In his bid to set up a simple, no-nonsense bank that actually cares about its customers, Dave plans to use hundreds of thousands of pounds of his own money. His enterprise will offer his customers a far better rate of interest than they get on the high street; he will lend to struggling local businesses that the banks don't want to know about; and he aims to bring the Bank of Dave into profit within 180 days. If he succeeds, he'll give whatever he makes to charity. If he fails, he'll make a terrible loss and ruin his hard-earned reputation as a successful businessman. Can one man really take on the banking giants and make a real difference to local businesses and his community? Dave Fishwick certainly hopes so.

Download or read book God s Master Plan for Humanity written by Alpha and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God's Master Plan for Humanity presents a collection of one woman's thoughts on being a born-again Christian for over forty years. Her life started simply; she was the fifth child of eight children born to country folks. She was raised in the beauty of nature and then married at the age of sixteen. While she admits that neither she nor her husband was prepared for marriage, it was during this time that she was born again and felt called to marriage. When author Alpha was nineteen, she and her sister rescued their brother from a suicide attempt through a miracle that she could only accept as God's divine intervention. With Christ as her personal savior, Alpha experienced the many benefits of knowing what the word of God can do if it is applied to everyday life. She likens the word of God-the Bible-to a recipe, because following His directions will make a person's life just like the "picture on the box." Many people don't take the time to read the Bible, so Alpha has recounted, through the stories included in God's Master Plan for Humanity, the vital lessons of God's love. The most important actions a person can take in life are accepting and understanding God's plan.
