Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Craig Thomas Harrison, I am living proof there is a God. I have received not one, but several miracles from heaven. I first thought it was all through luck and coincidence. That was until Jesus Christ manifested His glorious supernatural force about a week after the 27th of February 2011, when I had my last alcoholic drink. The day He stepped into my life, I crashed to my knees in awe of his magnificent presence and entity... I confessed my love to the Lord of all lords, a love that is stronger than that I give to my parents and asked Him to forgive me of my sins. He has blessed me with the mind and spirit of Christ. He has healed me of alcoholism, the occasional hard drug use, smoking, manic depression and obsessive compulsive disorder, lust and fear other than for Him. He has given me my life back abundantly. I now live a holier lifestyle and do my best to follow the commandments given by Jesus and put God first, then my family, next my friends and then myself. I do not serve money as my master anymore but our heavenly Father instead. I put my trust in the Lord with all my heart nowadays, one thing I do know; He has always put his trust in me... Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Prayer: Jesus, I want to make a brand new start with You. Thank You that You made this possible when You died on the cross for me. I turn to You now. I confess that You, Jesus, are Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. Thank You that I am now saved. Please live within my heart and transform me by your power. Thank You Jesus. Amen. Life on Earth is short compared to eternity in heaven. I believe if more people lived their lives in accordance with the gospel; the world would become a more beautiful place. Jesus is ready and willing to gracefully bless anyone with the mind of Christ, the heart of a lion, humility and the spirit of God. This book is inspired by and written by a divine spirit that magnificently dwells inside of me, it is called the Holy Ghost. I feel Christs hand on my brain whenever I write now, so I just let the Lord do his thing. This is my truthful, honest, sincere and miraculous testimony to Jesus our Lord and God.

Download or read book Anything Is Good written by Fred Waitzkin and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2024-06-25 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two Bronx boys take radically different paths in this novel about the limits of genius and the loss of home, by a “terrifically gifted” author (Anita Shreve, New York Times–bestselling author). Ralph Silverman was a foreign film buff, a victim of bullies, and a boy genius. He held long conversations with his pet parakeet and spent countless hours on a computer, creating mesmerizing music and solving problems in philosophy. He was a friend of great scholars and the son of a wealthy outer-borough businessman with shady associates and a secret second family. And, as he begins to take over the story from the narrator, Ralph finds himself in South Florida, physically abused and expelled into a frightening world of the unhoused—with a broken pair of glasses, no money, and no shoes. From the celebrated author of Searching for Bobby Fischer, Anything Is Good is a hypnotically compelling tale of a man haunted by the fate of his childhood buddy, and of that friend’s pleasures and misfortunes as he navigates an unhoused life—a life more complex and dramatic than a bypasser might ever imagine. “Anything Is Good . . . offers a deeply affecting dive into the lives of the unhoused. Its shifting perspective and changing narrative voice builds to a clarion call for greater empathy and understanding.” —Geraldine Brooks, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of March “Anything Is Good is the best portrait of homelessness I’ve read since George Orwell’s Down and Out in London and Paris. . . . Superbly written.” —Gabriel Byrne Praise for Fred Waitzkin’s previous books “Very few writers can deliver a story with this much heart . . . A great novel.” —Sebastian Junger “I’ve seldom been so captivated by a book.” —Tom Stoppard “A gem of a book.” —The New York Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even after sixty-four years of marriage my friends tell me I am brave to write my wife’s biography. However I have always worked on the principle that “fortune favours the brave” but anyway, what can go wrong? I mean, I don’t forget the date of her birthday and where she was born! Well, I can recite the story of how she expertly handled the mundane, the challenging ups and downs, the unexpected, and inexplicable vagaries of life while balancing her roles as a wife, mother of three, grandmother of six, teacher, co-director of a chemical company, elder of her church, philanthropist and avid tennis player. Nevertheless we shall not forget Shakespeare’s well-remembered prayer put on the lips of Hamlet’s guards: “Angels and ministers of grace, defend us ...” But yes, I will be brave, as Judy told me to be!
