These are some of the tools which Emily used to reach her greatest success in becoming the chief quality technical consultant of the Finance Circuit Optimum Company. Luke, a very handsome and intelligent young man, was a general manager of the firm to which Emily reported for duty. His success in running his department is due to his never daunting leadership. He is greatly admired and respected by the people under his management. Because of his good judgment and influence, he eventually got promoted to executive vice president of the company. There was an instant connection between him and Emily ever since they met. Over the years of working together, they found strength in one another including lifting each other's spirit when things became grim at work. As time went on, their friendship developed into a romantic relationship. As their love for each other grew deeper, they relied more and more on the Lord's guidance.

Most of all, Emily's world may be as far away from Luke's world, but the world they live in is totally in God's hands. Although there is a disparity between Luke's and Emily's world, it really didn't matter to them for their deep love for each other will ultimately prevail because love knows no bounds.

Ebony Nights, Book 1 When Aisha Anderson hires a professional escort for her company’s gala, it’s not because she can’t get a date. Her fast-track career at Hansen Advertising doesn’t give her the time—and it’s the only way to avoid dancing with her creepy, inappropriate co-worker. To her delight, Greg Williams plays the role of charming, attentive gentleman so well, she could almost believe the sparks between them are real. When he takes her home and demonstrates—with considerable culinary and sexual skill—that the heat is not her imagination, she can’t say no to his request for her number in lieu of payment. Their hot night continues into a warm breakfast at Greg’s favorite back-street diner, where Aisha feels something she hasn’t felt for a long time. Like a couple. Later, though, when she runs into a former client of his who seems eager to compare notes on his erotic bag of tricks, the sizzle begins to cool in shadows of doubt.

Kevin and Mary Jo had a happy and healthy marriage and two children, Michael and Rita. Sadly, though, the children never get to know their mother. Mary Jo dies of cancer quite early in the childrens’ lives. They grow up quickly to help their grieving dad. Fears of further loss infect the family when Michael is sent off to war, but the Wilson clan continues to avoid discussion of emotional issues even in the midst of turmoil. With her brother gone, Rita takes over all household duties and eventually gets the chance to attend college, but there she faces a horrible trauma of her own. Kevin still mourns the loss of his wife, even as he finds new love, but seeking happiness only leads to the revelation of his insecurities and twisted judgment. Despite all their losses, the Wilsons also experience healing, marriage, and the birthing of a new generation. To fully heal, though, they all must exercise their personal demons and seek communication and unconditional love. It is possible to break a generational curse, but it will take honesty and courage to glue together the broken pieces of this family.

Download or read book Always a Bridesmaid for Hire written by Jen Glantz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of Sloane Crosley, Mindy Kaling, and Katie Heaney, a hilarious and insightful memoir about one New York City Millennial’s journey to find herself, her dream career, and true love, all while juggling a truly unique job as the world's only professional bridesmaid. After moving to New York City in her mid-twenties to pursue her dream of writing—and not living on the “Upper East Side” of her parents’ house anymore—Jen Glantz looked forward to a future of happy hours and Sunday brunches with her besties. What she got instead were a string of phone calls that began with, "Jen, I have something exciting to tell you!" and ended with, "I'd be honored if you would be my bridesmaid." At first she was delighted, but it wasn’t long before she realized two things: all of her assets were tied up in bridesmaid dresses, and she herself was no closer to finding The One. She couldn't do much about the second thing (though her mother would beg to differ), but she could about the first. One (slightly tipsy) night, Jen posted an ad on Craigslist advertising her services as a professional bridesmaid. When she woke up the next morning, it had gone viral. What began as a half-joke suddenly turned into a lifetime of adventure for Jen–and more insight into the meaning of love than she was getting from OKCupid—as she walked down the aisle at stranger after stranger's wedding. Fresh, funny, and surprisingly sweet, Always a Bridesmaid (For Hire) is an entertaining reminder that even if you don't have everything together, you can still be a total boss—or, at the very least, a BFF to another girl in need.
Download or read book The Freedom of Will written by Ken Clatterbaugh and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2016-06-24 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming of age can be an adventure. No one knows this better than William James Tillit, an abandoned child from east Texas raised by his loving aunt and uncle, devout evangelical siblings who are determined to do their best by their young nephew. Will has his own conversations with God, but his god sounds nothing like that of his guardians. Will's deity is insightful, but he's also sarcastic, and down right grouchy. Needless to say, Will keeps these conversations to himself. The day arrives for Will to leave home and make his own way in the world. His ticket out? A job at the Bible-inspired Galilee Theme Park in west Texas, run by none other than Reverend Shister. But Will's passage to Galilee is far from a simple A to Z trip. Sidelined by a tornado, a beautiful young woman, and a group of religious doomsday preppers bent on surviving-or ushering in-Armageddon, Will comes to realize that perhaps faith-like life-is not about the destination; it's about the journey. The Freedom of Will is an absurdly comic coming of age tale about falling in and out of faith and how we come to be who we are through the influence of those around us. Whether kindly aunts and uncles, a possibly atheistic hamster, lesbian nuns committed to social justice, likeable convicted felons, or a gourmet chef who claims to get his recipes from outer space, there's something to learn from everyone, if only we have the grace to accept the people life throws our way, and the will to listen.

Filled with unforgettable characters and unbridled charm, Home Front Girls is a timeless celebration of the strength and solidarity of women.

Download or read book The Patmos Paradigm written by James Hendershot and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred billion years in the future, another empire discovers the Patmos, which is the complete history of humanity, good and bad. Upon the private viewing, the resident gods declare it too dangerous. The Patmos has within it material that, when viewed, could release the Knowledge of Evil, a concept that could, like a virus, destroy their universe. Likewise, this small Patmos ball is composed of complete atoms, as they could destroy millions of stars. Their governing council sends the Patmos through a series of wormholes to other dimensions. They also call back all their giant space worlds, as ships are a far-distant memory, if another Patmos was somehow dispatched. Life in the Patmos witnessed the chosen earthlings and viewed the earth as it passed through the Great Tribulation, where humanity is rendered extinct. They survived World War III in which the Eagle, Dragon, and Bear die, allowing a silent monster to recreate an old empire and rule the world. He begins his genocide, sparing Israel, which he gives a nice new temple, only to betray them. His empire suffers through twenty-one judgments, which leaves those with his mark doomed as he loses both the physical and spiritual last war and gets a kick from the archangel Michael for the bottomless pit, as the journey for the victors is only beginning.
Download or read book The Trauma Heart written by Judy Crane and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of people addicted to substances or process addictions such as relationship disorders, eating disorders, self-harming behaviors, gambling or pornography are trauma survivors. Many people caught in the web of addiction don't identify as trauma survivors until their personal, familial, intergenerational, and in-uterine history is exposed. Unfortunately, relapse is inevitable without trauma resolution that can only take place once their history is exposed. It is only when that happens that the behavior disorders will finally make sense. For almost 30 years Judy Crane has worked with clients and families who are in great pain due to destructive and dangerous behaviors. Families often believe that their loved one must be bad or defective, and the one struggling with the addiction not only believes it, too, but feels it to their core. The truth is, the whole family is embroiled in their own individual survival coping mechanisms—the addicted member is often the red flag indicating that the whole family needs healing. In The Trauma Heart, Crane explores the many ways that life's events impact each member of the family. She reveals the essence of trauma and addictions treatment through the stories, art, and assignments of former clients and the staff who worked with them, offering a snapshot of their pain and healing.
