Download or read book After written by David Wardroppeglerpegler and published by Chipmunkapublishing ltd. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DescriptionAFTER by David Wardop is a story about mental anguish and suicide told in two parts. Keith Campbell is a quiet and shy boy who loves comic books and science fiction until he begins to contemplate suicide. The first part of the story, which is told in reverse order, describes the world of tragedy that is left after Keith dies with his family struggling to understand why he kills himself. The second half of the story, on the other hand, describes the world that Keith lives in because he did not commit suicide. This is a reflective and revealing account of one person's mental struggle with suicide and the effect that it has on his health and those who care about him. What sets this novel apart is the fact that Keith takes his own life right and the novel opens after his death attempting to illustrate Keith's rationale for his suicide. The novel is, at first, depressing, sombre and dark, yet it progressively gets more blithe and hopeful. The novel's conclusion is ironic and thought-provoking, and the reader has to remind himself/herself that although the novel ends on a positive note, because of the manner in which the narrative has been presented, this is not necessarily the case. About the AuthorDavid Keith Wardrop is 23 years old and lives in Bearsden in Glasgow. Currently, David is a full-time gardener at Ruchill Park in Glasgow and has written two other full-length novels entitled ""Sexanto"" and ""The Gardens of Zarma,"" along with various short stories for magazines. His main literary influence is Philip K. Dick and his futuristic stories such as ""Minority Report"" and ""Counter-Clock World."" Other works that have inspired him include Margaret Atwood's ""The Handmaid's Tale"" and Brain K. Vaughn and his comics ""Ex Machina."" David aspires to be a prolific sci-fi writer, and the thought of being published helps him to cope with his depression and envision a brighter future for himself.

Download or read book Recovery Healing and Restoration Through Isaiah 54 written by Edith A. Chillo and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One day, seemingly from out of nowhere, through two dreams and a vision, God moves me to a setting under the Shadow of His Almighty Wings. From this peaceful place, God begins to heal me from pain and wounds I did not know I carried, and which over three decades and across three continents continuously held me in bondage. This past emanated from a breakup with a star soccer player in one of Kenya’s national soccer clubs. He was open to polygamy to be with me. As a Christian, I was not; we broke up. By that time, I had a daughter with him. She grew up knowing only the first name of her biological father and that he abandoned us. Beyond this, I never spoke about him and never thought about him. Unknown to me, I did not heal from the breakup. Three decades later, I received a visitation from God. Through the Holy Spirit talking to me as a person right next to me, Christ recovers this past I long buried, reveals to me how wounds from the breakup, unknown to me, tossed me from one complex relationship to another. Christ heals me from these pains, and then restores me to the knowledge and acceptance of the sufficient grace of God.

There’s only one problem: It’s a dump, just like the rest of the family’s new house. Evvie has hardly moved in when her dad, Nicky, asks her to spend the summer at the seaside with her great-aunt Grace, who’s had a bad fall and needs cheering up—and who is snobbish, ill tempered, and very, very rich. Evvie reluctantly agrees. When she arrives at Eastgate, she finds Aunt Grace just as fierce as she remembered, but she has to admit that the place has some redeeming qualities. Like the handsome and charming Schyler Hughes . . . and Sam Steinmetz, who works in the town bookstore and makes smart jokes about the local culture of conformity. But it’s not all romantic sailing trips and walks on the beach. Evvie soon finds that some people like to tell old stories and share old secrets a little too much—and some of those secrets may hit closer to home than Evvie expected.
