Download or read book Breakaway Amish written by Johnny Mast and published by MennoMedia, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I am the grandson of Bishop Sam Mullet, who was arrested for the Amish beard-cutting attacks. This is my story.” Beard-cutting attacks on Amish people in the middle of the night. Five incidents. Nine victims. How could members of a Christian tradition known for peace and forgiveness enact such violence? What could make members of one Amish group turn against other Amish? In Breakaway Amish, Johnny Mast tells in riveting detail how his Amish community became increasingly isolated from other Amish people, and how the wishes and edicts of his grandfather, Bishop Sam Mullet, overtook daily life in the group. Over time, members became convinced that cutting their own hair was a sign of repentance and remorse. When that conviction led them to cut off the beards of those outside their community, however, it was more than a strange religious ritual. It was a crime. Here is an eyewitness account of the disturbing events at Bergholz, an Amish community gone awry. Yet redemption dwells even here, in the bravery and conviction of one who chose to break free.

Download or read book Johnny Begoode written by John Long and published by Virtualbookworm Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johnny Begoode has an idyllic life as an expatriate English teacher in the South of France: a country home, a loving wife and children, financial security. But then news of the death of his mother coincides with the arrival in class of a new student-the beautiful, mysterious and seductive Angelique. These two events constitute a potent emotional cocktail that provokes a mid-life crisis which threatens Johnny's sanity and even his very existence. While Johnny's relationship with the girl is developing and turning sexual, through a series of flashbacks he relives some of the seminal events of his life: early separation axiety, an erotic infatuation with a nun, sexual abuse by a nun and a priest, a turbulant adolescence fueled by alcohol, and an incarceration. His later success in life and his spiritual search now clouded by the threat of a mental breakdown, the novel culminates in a grisly massacre. Or does it? It's up to the reader to decide.

Download or read book Seekers written by Richard Paul Donahue and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johnny Flannigan developed a sixth sense about trouble at an early age: it always happens when you're not dressed. Johnny grew up in a ragtag family full of what other folk called "characters." His dad and mother, who lived on small change and laughs, had Johnny late in life. But when Johnny was seventeen, things began to look up. He and his new friend, Jesse Davidson, teamed up with Eddie Freeman, a fast-talking kid who would later became manager for the singing duo, Jesse and Johnny. Together, the three boys began to make a little money, learning the entertainment business by trial and error. Eddie will do whatever it takes to make his friends (and clients) into superstars. Johnny loses his heart to a faithful hometown girl named Joyce, and all is bliss-that is, until Ruby Van-Heusen, an older woman with more than enough money (but not enough scruples), steps in with her own agenda. When Levi, Johnny's unpredictable older brother, follows him to Hollywood with big dreams of his own, Johnny's world spins out of control even more. In an effort to regain a bit of balance, Johnny and his partners form a record company which in turn brings on some unwelcome surprises, including the Mob. From Indiana to New York and then Hollywood, Johnny's life is never short on adventure, laughs, heartbreak-or the struggle it takes to never give up. Richard Donahue has spent his adult life in the music industry. As a teenager he ventured off to New York and signed a recording contract with RCA Records. Later he joined forces with Hollywood Sound Studios in Los Angeles., working in songwriting, publishing and production. He co-wrote "It's the lover not the love" for pop star Tiffany. He currently lives in Nashville Tennessee.
Download or read book Johnny the Eternal written by A. Rodriguez and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johnny is an impetuous young man who has died and been recruited by a Heavenly Order as an Earth Angel on the upcoming apocalypse. When he suffers an ostensibly fatal accident, causing him amnesia, he will have to find out who he really is again, and with the help of a beautiful chosen one he will do so; at the same time, he will find out his real purpose in life. He will have to battle unknown forces and rescue New York from its impending doom. Thus, accompanied by his growing Celestial powers and the help of the FBI, Johnny discovers a world outside his own (outside his lonely life) and a higher calling; indeed, a higher calling he's been trying to deny for years, such runs deep in his blood. It's a world that forces all his relationships to shatter. Johnny can't trust anyone with his secret, and for so long he felt burdened by it, until someone comes along and teaches him love and trust and to accept himself. He's forced to figure out how to reclaim his place instead of just taking up space.
