It’s a lovely, wonderful story.

It's 2006 in Washington State, and the war just took another life. In this new release of WWII home-front historical fiction, a 12-year-old boy named Asher seems to make his dad furious no matter what he does. In hopes of getting his dad back to normal, whatever that is, he looks for a way to fix it all. But he soon finds that he’s bitten off more than he can chew, when he discovers clues suggesting his grandpa’s death may not have been as natural as he was led to believe. The secrets he uncovers might change everything, but what does a nuclear bomb from 60 years ago have to do with his grandpa and does it have something to do with why his dad hates the world? Asher, Mari, and their quirky little sisters team up to solve the mystery before Asher’s dad destroys the family. It doesn’t take long, though, for Asher to realize that trying to save someone else from their own despondency can end up putting your own health at risk. Through the support of Mari and their top secret spy sisters, Asher uncovers enraging revelations about his grandfather's death, but realizes, a little too late, that some mysteries are better left unsolved.

Download or read book God in My Life written by Barbara Speicher and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you explain that which defies logic? Is it a happenstance, a fluke, a coincidence? Or could it be that the space between heaven and earth was made a little less distant? God is personally involved in the lives of the people He so loves, making the seemingly impossible, possible. Since I have witnessed firsthand Gods extraordinary touch in my life, I prefer to call these occasions God-incidents. This book is a collection of my reflections on those times; struggles and joys, along with personal insights from Gods Word, prayer, people, and circumstances. They have been written over a number of years and testify to the reality of God in my life. I never thought Id author a book, but I have decided that maybe God wants these writings to be shared. My sole purpose in this endeavor is to show, through the life of an ordinary person like myself, His amazing love and to encourage others in building up and walking in their faith.
Download or read book My Journey to Heaven written by Marvin J. Besteman and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 28, 2006, as he lay in his hospital bed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, visions of celestial beauty were the last thing on Marv Besteman's mind. He had just had surgery to remove a rare pancreatic tumor. It was after visiting hours and his family had left for the day. Alone and racked with pain, Marv tossed and turned, wanting more than anything else to simply sleep and escape the misery and discomfort for a while. The retired banker, father, and grandfather had no idea he was about to get a short reprieve in the form of an experience he never could have imagined. In My Journey to Heaven, Marv Bestman shares the story of his experience of heaven with astounding detail. Readers will hear of his encounters with angels who accompanied him to the gate, his conversation (argument, really) with St. Peter, and his recognition of friends and family members who touched his life. His story offers peace, comfort, and encouragement to those who have lost loved ones and gives security and solace to those who are grieving, dying, or wonder about the afterlife. Marv believed God sent him back to earth to fulfill this mission of comfort and reminds readers that God has work for each of us to do before he calls us to be with him in heaven. Secure in his belief that his book was the fulfillment of his own mission, Marv returned to heaven in January 2012.
