Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hillcrest Journal is skillfully told . . . very realistic . . . I would recommend it not only to teenage readers but also to parents who may have a slightly hazy recollection of adolescence." West Concord Enterprise Chad Wilson, before his senior year of high school, is forced to move from his family farm to Hillcrest, a small town in Ironwood County, Minnesota. The troubled senior seeks to discover his true values in 1984 America: social, sexual, and moral. He questions everything around him as he is torn between his desires, his fears, and his convictions. His journal entries, awkward at first, become a moving account of the narrator and his search for meaning. His journey leads to bitterness, confusion, temptation, and, ultimately, forgiveness. Throughout his struggle, his one enduring value is his utmost honesty--with himself and with his journal. This is the first novel in the Ironwood County Chronicles, a loosely-linked trilogy focusing on Christians in conflict with the world, with those they love, and with themselves. The second novel, also published by Xlibris, is Passing Through Paradise; the third novel in sequence is Life on the Fly. * * * Excerpts from a sophomore English class, Triton High School, Dodge Center, MN: "Overall, your book was one of the best I have ever read. It deals with normal high school issues in a way that is easy for people of all ages to be interested in." "I wanted to laugh, cry, cringe or even rejoice at different stages in the book. . . . Since I have read this book I have learned many things. I have an even bigger assurance that it is ok to not give into peer pressure." "Reading your novel Hillcrest Journal reminded me of how almost every high school is the same and how every teenager has ups and downs just like everybody else. I think your book really reminds us that we are not the only ones with struggles. Many of the characters in the book reflected many of my own peers. . . . It told of every high and low and explained all the options, opportunities, and tough decisions that we face everyday." "I loved your book. . . . It made me want to start laughing. Chad is so much like me it was scary." "Hillcrest Journal is more than honest about high school life, it is honest in general about what life is. . . " What Ironwood County is saying: "Everyone should read this when they are 15, reread it when they are 20, and reread it again when they are parents." The Paradise Post "This is what Christian fiction should be: insightful and innovative." The Cherry Grove Gazette "Teenagers. Conflicts with parents. Problems dating. These topics are all fine. But add politics, religion, and sex? Not in my library!" Agatha Peabody, Hillcrest High School librarian Intended Audience: Anyone who has ever had conflicts with parents, feared for a younger sibling, dealt with unrequited love, or asked sincere religious questions will be drawn into the novel. As one mother who read this book said, "Every parent who has a son should read this book."

Download or read book Passing Through Paradise written by John Schreiber and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2003-10-07 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Paradise I stumbled onto a dead body, found my new mother, and was almost murdered." In the fall of 1989, young Angela Kiln and her father move to the slowly dying town of Paradise. Once they settle into small town life, Angela and her father, a high school teacher, find that the town isn ́t the only thing dying — so, apparently, are students. As Angela and her father seek the truth behind the deaths, they will also face the truth about their own deepest beliefs. Part suspenseful mystery, part sentimental journey, Passing Through Paradise is an alternately funny, gripping, and frightening account of a young girl, her still-grieving father, and a town that refuses to recognize the future. Filled with an unforgettable cast of characters, Passing Through Paradise dramatically reveals the best and worst of human nature, illuminated against a scathing indictment of an American small town. This new edition of Passing Through Paradise includes a discussion guide for book clubs. Other novels that take place in Schreiber’s Ironwood County include Hillcrest Journal and Life on the Fly.

Back at his new school, Runkus and his boys are determined to do the impossible. However, Hillcrest Lagoon High has no football history, playing facilities, program, or coach. Jade-Ann and her female classmates uncover the boys’ plan, and get involved. Momentum builds with a biennial scrimmage and juggling tournament, as well as their school’s interclass football competition.
