Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I’m dying as fast as I can,” Gaby Maoret tells private investigator Nick Polo. “But it’s not fast enough for them.” Them are the two brothers of Gaucho Carmichael, Gaby’s former lover, who disappeared seven years ago, shortly after granting Gaby a lifetime estate contract on a Telegraph Hill mansion in San Francisco, worth millions. Gaby has been living there, rent free, for all those years. She’s a noted artist, 75 years old, cancer ridden, but with a strong lust for life. She claims that the brothers, who will inherit the house when she dies, have been making threats on her life. Polo agrees to help her, and soon finds himself involved in an old murder case, a missing 5-million-dollar painting, an arson investigation and in conflict with a Mexican drug cartel enforcer. In order to help Gaby, Polo needs the assistance of his octogenarian sidekick, Mrs. Damonte, a self-described strega, a witch who can see into the future, and his Uncle Dominick, a bookie with connections to the gambling mobs in Las Vegas. And then he’s faced with the most perplexing problem of his career—does he tell the cops what he knows?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
Download or read book Now The Physics of Time written by Richard A. Muller and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the celebrated author of the best-selling Physics for Future Presidents comes “a provocative, strongly argued book on the fundamental nature of time” (Lee Smolin). You are reading the word "now" right now. But what does that mean? "Now" has bedeviled philosophers, priests, and modern-day physicists from Augustine to Einstein and beyond. In Now, eminent physicist Richard A. Muller takes up the challenge. He begins with remarkably clear explanations of relativity, entropy, entanglement, the Big Bang, and more, setting the stage for his own revolutionary theory of time, one that makes testable predictions. Muller’s monumental work will spark major debate about the most fundamental assumptions of our universe, and may crack one of physics’ longest-standing enigmas.
Download or read book I m Dying to Get to Heaven written by Brian Thomas and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm Dying to Get to Heaven is a short yet powerful book that centers around the conflict of our two natures. We have a worldly or human nature and a spiritual nature, both living within us side by side. The purpose of this book is to help us become more spiritual than we presently are, especially if you are actively seeking to understand how spirituality can help you improve your life. We can be entirely worldly if we let our egotistical needs, wants, and desires, along with a dedicated passion for possessions and pleasures rule us. No one will ever be completely spiritual because our human nature will not allow it. We are flawed and imperfect. The best we can hope for is to learn how to let parts of our egotistical wants die and fade away and then to live peacefully with a balance of the worldly and the spiritual. Within these pages is a helpful aide in such a quest to help all of us become totally aware of our human nature. Awareness of such dualities is the first step in embracing a strong, spiritual life. "Grant that I may die to all things in this world." ""Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

Desperate, she begins impersonating Grace via email. But when the police discover suspicious circumstances surrounding Grace's death, Gilda may have to finally reveal the truth of her mortifying existence."--Amazon.
