Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when Gaia—a.k.a. Mother Nature—finally meets Mr. Right...but she absolutely can't tell him who she really is? I have had it with everyone today! This world is full of fools and mortals, and not a single one of them is listening to me! I told every paranormal that never revealing their supernatural powers to humans is paramount—once humans get a whiff of our abilities, it's game over; everyone wants a miracle. Well fine, if they want to keep breaking rules, they can handle the fallout without me. I'm on vacation. I really wanted some time alone, to go to the Puerto Rican rain forest and get back to basics. Commune with nature, consider my next move, give everyone time to miss me and realize that I'm right (as always). I never expected to find a handsome surgeon scouring the jungle for natural remedies. It sounds like he needs my help. Maybe I'll just whip up some miracles for him. He's going to be so pleased! Turns out Dr. Aaron Samuels wasn't so pleased after all. In fact, he was rather furious. But I can still fix this. Doesn't he know who I am?! Oh, wait, of course he doesn't—being mortal complicates everything! But if I'm going to get my guy, maybe it's time to tell him the truth...

Download or read book Hearing the Truth in Cana of Galilee written by Dale Weatherford and published by David Weatherford. This book was released on 2024-03-21 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Hearing the Truth in Cana of Galilee,” the second book of “The New Way Series,” is based on the first century manuscript “Acts of the Apostles” written by Luke. “Looking Through the Eyes of a Child,” the first book of the series, introduced children who have now grown up and become adults in one of the most turbulent times in history. There was an amazing transformation in society immediately after the death and resurrection of Jesus. Jerusalem was shaken to its very roots by the teachings of Jesus. His New Way of living impacted men vs. women, free men vs. slaves, Jew vs. Gentile, and religion vs. the teachings of Jesus. Cana is a small village located about sixty-five miles north of Jerusalem. “Hearing the Truth in Cana of Galilee” explores how the New Way began to move from Jerusalem and into the surrounding areas. It began to impact every aspect of daily life. Imagine how the citizens of Cana might have heard about the New Way. Visualize them learning to follow Jesus' teachings. There was no Bible to follow. Word of mouth was the only way the New Way could spread, yet Jesus had predicted that it would spread like wildfire and cover the entire world. What would it be like to grow up, fall in love, choose your career, and experience life’s journey, impacted by individuals who had actually traveled with Jesus? How would this New Way change their lives and turn their world upside down? “Hearing the Truth in Cana of Galilee” tells the story of many citizens of the tiny village of Cana. Some of these are young adults who were introduced as children in “Looking Through the Eyes of a Child.” As they grow and develop, they discover that following the New Way grows their love in Book 3, “Growing the Love in Cana of Galilee.”

Download or read book What Can I Do When Everything s On Fire A Novel written by António Lobo Antunes and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2008-09-17 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A soaring, symphonic epic by the Portuguese master novelist, considered to be the "heir to Conrad and Faulkner" (George Steiner). The razor-thin line between reality and madness is transgressed in this Faulknerian masterpiece, António Lobo Antunes's first novel to appear in English in five years. What Can I Do When Everything's On Fire?, set in the steamy world of Lisbon's demimonde—a nightclub milieu of scorching intensity and kaleidoscopic beauty, a baleful planet populated by drag queens, clowns, and drug addicts—is narrated by Paolo, the son of Lisbon's most legendary transvestite, who searches for his own identity as he recalls the harrowing death of his father, Carlos; the life of Carlos's lover, Rui, a heroin addict and suicide; as well as the other denizens of this hallucinatory world. Psychologically penetrating, pregnant with literary symbolism, and deeply sympathetic in its depiction of society's dregs, Lobo Antunes's novel ventriloquizes the voices of the damned in a poetic masterwork that recalls Joyce's Ulysses with a dizzying farrago of urban images few readers will forget.

Seth and the others watched the man grab the girl, causing her to cry out in pain. "Remember my warning," they heard him growl as he gripped her arm tightly. "Someone who needs to learn to keep his hands to himself," growled Seth as they approached the car. "Hey!" yelled Seth as they approached the car. "Is something wrong?" Seth led his group of wolves up to the car when he caught the scent of the girl before him. His wolf stirred within, causing his eyes to glow. She was his mate. His excitement immediately disappeared when he saw how tight the man's grip was on his mate's arm. "No, just talking with my niece." The man gripped her harm harder as he twisted, causing him to let out a feral growl as he continued to silently threaten his mate. "Isn't that right, Gabi?" he snickered. Seth watched the man tell her he'd pick her up for school before watching his mate scurry toward the school. Once she was safely within the school, he cleared his throat. "Sir...I'm going to assume your new here...but let me make myself clear, keep your hands to yourself," he growled. "Mind your own business, boy." The man glared at Seth and the others. "And keep away from my niece." "What an ass," Jace said as they watched the car peel out of the parking lot. "That chick is gonna have a bruise from his grip." Seth let out another feral growl at his comment, this one noticeably louder than the last. "Seth, what's your problem? You sound like a territorial chihuahua." "Him!" he growled. "He had his hands on my mate!"
