Book excerpt: Luke and Joshua were growing like weeds as children of the middle 1800s. Both born on Christmas Eve 1841, Luke, the son of a central Texas rancher, and Joshua, the son of the ranch foreman, developed an everlasting kinship that lasted for many years only to be disrupted later by the heartbreak of the Civil War. The boys loved the life on the Running E ranch and when not involved in their ranch responsibilities often entertained themselves by chasing foxes across the pastures, fishing in the river, or disrupting a hornet's nest high up in a tree. The two of them grew into young men as if they were blood brothers, but Luke was white and Joshua was black and the looming war began to cast differences of opinion between them. Undo

Book excerpt: The Bachelor meets The Runaway Bride in this addictive romance novel about a reality TV producer falling for her would-be star: a Montana heartthrob who wants nothing to do with the show. “Quintessential Lauren Layne goodness—a sassy, feel-good and entertaining love story infused with laughter, sizzling chemistry and heartfelt romance.”—USA Today Jordan Carpenter thinks she’s finally found the perfect candidate for Jilted, a new dating show about runaway grooms: firefighter Luke Elliott, a known player who’s left not one but three brides at the altar. The only problem? Luke refuses to answer Jordan’s emails or return her calls. Which is how she ends up on a flight to Montana to recruit him in person. It’s not Manhattan, but at least the locals in Lucky Hollow seem friendly . . . except for Luke, who’s more intense—and way hotter—than the slick womanizer Jordan expected. Eager to put the past behind him, Luke has zero intention of following this gorgeous, fast-talking city girl back to New York. But before he can send her packing, Jordan’s everywhere: at his favorite bar, the county fair, even his exes’ book club. Annoyingly, everyone in Lucky Hollow seems to like her—and deep down, she’s starting to grow on him too. But the more he fights her constant pestering, the more Luke finds himself wishing that Jordan would kick off her high heels and make herself comfortable in his arms.

Book excerpt: "A gloriously good writer...Ranger Games is both surprising and moving...A memorable, novelistic account."—Jennifer Senior, New York Times Intricate, heartrending, and morally urgent, Ranger Games is a crime story like no other Alex Blum was a good kid, a popular high school hockey star from a tight-knit Colorado family. He had one goal in life: endure a brutally difficult selection program, become a U.S. Army Ranger, and fight terrorists for his country. He poured everything into achieving his dream. In the first hours of his final leave before deployment to Iraq, Alex was supposed to fly home to see his family and beloved girlfriend. Instead, he got into his car with two fellow soldiers and two strangers, drove to a local bank in Tacoma, and committed armed robbery... The question that haunted the entire Blum family was: Why? Why would he ruin his life in such a spectacularly foolish way? At first, Alex insisted he thought the robbery was just another exercise in the famously daunting Ranger program. His attorney presented a case based on the theory that the Ranger indoctrination mirrored that of a cult. In the midst of his own personal crisis, and in the hopes of helping both Alex and his splintering family cope, Ben Blum, Alex’s first cousin, delved into these mysteries, growing closer to Alex in the process. As he probed further, Ben began to question not only Alex, but the influence of his superior, Luke Elliot Sommer, the man who planned the robbery. A charismatic combat veteran, Sommer’s manipulative tendencies combined with a magnetic personality pulled Ben into a relationship that put his loyalties to the test.
Download or read book Civil Democracy Protection written by Uwe Backes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil Democracy Protection is an overview of attempts by organisations to oppose groups that are perceived to threaten democracy. The book traces the history of civil democracy protection actors from the establishment of democratic constitutional states up to the present day and develops a set of systematic and comparative approaches. The central question it explores is: What significance do civil actors have for the establishment and consolidation of democratic constitutional states, especially in relation to the protection of democracy by state institutions? The volume includes contributions from historians and social scientists, who combine idiographic approaches that focus on the specifics of individual cases with nomothetic approaches that aim to provide generalisable insights, incorporating historical experiences from various European countries and the USA in the 20th and early 21st century. This book will be of interest to scholars of democracy protection, civil society, consolidation of democracy, and anti- extremism.

Book excerpt: It is the first day of seventh grade for Elliott, a student at a Catholic grade school in a conservative, solidly Republican town in northeast Ohio. His entrepreneur parents, considered leftover hippies by most, have always encouraged Elliott to think outside the box. Jeffery is a fellow seventh grader whose father is an up-and-coming Republican running for Congress. He rarely talks to Jeffery unless he is giving instructions or opinions. His mother has a fondness for vodka tonics and rarely smiles. When Jeffery walks into Elliott’s class on the first day, Elliott immediately notices his piercing eyes. As that moment sets into motion a journey of confusion, Elliott and Jeffery must somehow find a way to balance hate and shame with love, understanding, and acceptance. When a deep family secret is revealed, the boys are transported down separate complex, emotional roads that lead them to balance their lives on a tightrope, terrified of falling. But as the answers come, both finally realize the importance of that first day of school. The First Day of School is the emotional tale of two boys as they journey from friendship into a dark tunnel of shame and hate that leaves them battling to find the light at the end.

Download or read book Echoes of Jesus in the First Epistle of Peter written by Timothy E. Miller and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-03-10 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the words of Jesus influence the writing of 1 Peter? That is the question that is at the heart of this study. Of course, the answer is complicated by the fact that 1 Peter nowhere directly references the words of Jesus. Nevertheless, the impact of his words are evident throughout the letter. The first third of the book lays the foundation for answering the question by giving clear and concise criteria for identifying places where 1 Peter uses the words of Jesus. The rest of the book walks through the text of 1 Peter section by section, submitting each potential echo of Jesus's words to the criteria previously developed. The book concludes by considering how the words of Jesus influenced the themes and content of the letter.
