To get to Logan, he must brave prairie fires, buffalo stampedes, and Sioux war parties.

He will bring aid to Logan—or die trying.

Download or read book The Leftovers written by Tom Perrotta and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2011-08-30 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With heart, intelligence and a rare ability to illuminate the struggles inherent in ordinary lives, Tom Perrotta's The Leftovers—now adapted into an HBO series—is a startling, thought-provoking novel about love, connection and loss. What if—whoosh, right now, with no explanation—a number of us simply vanished? Would some of us collapse? Would others of us go on, one foot in front of the other, as we did before the world turned upside down? That's what the bewildered citizens of Mapleton, who lost many of their neighbors, friends and lovers in the event known as the Sudden Departure, have to figure out. Because nothing has been the same since it happened—not marriages, not friendships, not even the relationships between parents and children. Kevin Garvey, Mapleton's new mayor, wants to speed up the healing process, to bring a sense of renewed hope and purpose to his traumatized community. Kevin's own family has fallen apart in the wake of the disaster: his wife, Laurie, has left to join the Guilty Remnant, a homegrown cult whose members take a vow of silence; his son, Tom, is gone, too, dropping out of college to follow a sketchy prophet named Holy Wayne. Only Kevin's teenaged daughter, Jill, remains, and she's definitely not the sweet "A" student she used to be. Kevin wants to help her, but he's distracted by his growing relationship with Nora Durst, a woman who lost her entire family on October 14th and is still reeling from the tragedy, even as she struggles to move beyond it and make a new start.

Download or read book God s Leftovers written by Grant Wamack and published by JournalStone. This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young couple, a religious man, a gritty rapper, and a sublime videographer get stranded together in the desert. Little do they know, they’ll cross paths in a bloody fashion with one another as well as a hippie cult that has a fetish for the flesh. Welcome to the Valley of Fire, where sex magic, psychedelics, ancient tongues, and old gods reign supreme. “God’s Leftovers is not for the faint of heart. This brutal, visceral, shocking work of fiction is Ketchum meets Barker with a sprinkling of classic slashers and grindhouse pulp. If you want to be disgusted and unsettled, tapping into the vibe of films like Martyrs, I Spit on Your Grave, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre—this is your jam. I need to take a shower and douse myself in holy water.”—Richard Thomas, author of Spontaneous Human Combustion and Bram Stoker Award® nominee “If you can picture The Hills Have Eyes imbued with Jodorowsky’s psychedelic sensibilities, you might get something close to God’s Leftovers. With it, Grant Wamack makes a spectacular, bloody entrance into the splatterpunk arena. You’ve gotta read this book!” —Lucas Magnum, author of Gods of the Dark Web “Deadly secrets, psychedelic drugs, sex magic... Wamack knows a thing or two about hard times and in this novella, you see life itself staring back at you, brandishing your worst fears, daring you to turn the page. I’ve been following Grant Wamack’s work for a long time and God’s Leftovers is his calling card, proving he’s at the peak of his powers.” —Michael J. Seidlinger, author of Anybody Home?

Download or read book What Can God Do with Leftovers written by Marcus B. Davis and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many things occur in life that maybe found to be unfair. But do we think about how unfair those things in life are to others who many be around us as they are experiencing them? How do we deal with those who may not fit in as a part of our social circle? Do we live in the world of those who are enjoying the "good life" or do we live in a world of everyday chaos and confusion? Perhaps we are one of those who can't seem to keep it together let alone make ends meet. Admitting this would actually mean taking responsibility for our actions and our lives. Could it be that we live in a mundane everyday existence oblivious to the everyday way of life of those who may not be privy to our social circle, club, clicks, or our churches of course being those who may be unlike us? Perhaps, it could be that we have much more in common with those who are not like us than we may think we really do. With so much going on in our world today, it would be really great to have a way to understand real diversity on a much larger visual scope; This book, "What Can GOD Do With Leftovers?" does just that. This book effectively enables the reader with an invaluable assessment of the differences in human beings that may not come from the same background as us. It also informs us of the socioeconomic and environmental challenges that may grip the lives of key individuals that you probably have taken for granted. As the reader studies the contents of the book, they are made aware of some of the most challenging and arduous situations that could be facing many of today's youth, young adults, middle aged individuals and senior citizens living in our world today. Interacting with people and their present situations, especially with the those we are not used to seeing and interacting with on a daily basis is key to developing a socially acceptable posture in this ever-changing world of diversity. In the beginning of the book, the author takes the reader into the world of waste in America, but cleverly shifts gears to convey a message of his plea for compassion to others unlike himself. The reader is then introduced to various social platforms in America, bringing you up close and personal with them, so that nothing about them can be misconstrued with situations otherwise found to be the ordinary. After this, a brief history is provided about many things concerning the less fortunate, and the author intelligently Segway's from this area to set a theological stage of understanding about how and why these things occur, how they keep people trapped, now becoming victims of their dire circumstances, and what it is that can be most effectively done to help them. Some people have never seen the hidden world of the less fortunate, and with acquiring this new understanding, one can ascertain, that a plethora of deadly social weeds may be discovered in the potentially unspoiled garden of brotherly love and understanding. It has been said that giving to others opens a person up to the world of becoming immersed in a unrestricted exhortation of loving kindness that is only superseded by the God himself. But how can this be done? How can it be that with people coming form so many unrelated backgrounds and situations in life that we should naturally be able to "become our brother's keeper"? Is my life and my time more important that the bellhop who opens my door at a luxury hotel, or should I be treated better than the one who collects my residential garbage on Tuesdays in my gated community? As the author sets a place for you at THIS particular table, in a very unique way, you are candidly invited to dine with these people. You shall be introduced to people and situations that you may not get to see on a daily basis and you may actually find yourself learning how to deal with them. And as you exit your comfort zone on this journey to the world of the leftover, you will no doubt learn now to deal with them as they also learn how to deal with you.
