Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE BAD BOY Before I met Gianna, I’d thought I was living life to the fullest, wild and carefree. Now that I had her in my life I understood what it really meant to feel alive. THE GIRL Until I met Caleb, I wasn’t sure beauty existed on my inside. With him in my life, I not only saw that beauty to my core, but also in my world around me. Gianna has everything going for her, beauty, popularity and the jock boyfriend to match. Too bad it all makes her miserable. Living her life based on other peoples’ expectations isn’t making her happy. She has only one escape and she guards that secret life fiercely. Caleb has everything he wants, the freedom to do as he likes and plenty of opportunities to do it. With a revolving door of girls in and out of his life, he has no interest in getting tied down. Kicked out of another school, his mom sends him to live with his dad. Gianna hates her new stepbrother on sight. Caleb thinks she’s a hollow beauty. Then he finds out her secret and uses it to get to know the real her. Changing who he is forever.

Download or read book Angels We Have Heard Are High written by Charles Schuster and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas is not a mystery. People understand Christmas. Who can deny the beauty, simplicity, and gracefulness of the season of the year in which there are lights on the lawns of houses, gifts given and received, and the story of the birth of the Christ Child remembered with readings and reenactments? Essentially, Christmas is a response to a longing for something holy and sacred. The deeper meaning of Christmas promotes the idea that there is something greater than ourselves stirring in our hearts and minds, and the God-likeness is evident in the most unusual places. This book attempts to identify some of those places where the Holy-Other is Wholly inner. Suggesting that it happened in Bethlehem a long time ago is conveying the idea that if it happened there and then, it can happen here and now. This book offers an invitation to look at the secular world and find the sacred within it. It encourages us to look into the lights of Christmas as they confront the darkness and to find the source of that light beyond and within us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let me tell you an idea that spasmodically surfaced in my brain for years. aEURoeOne day, IaEUR(tm)m going to write a book.aEUR Foolishly, I imagined. It probably would take two or three afternoons. A lot of afternoons and years passed when I didnaEUR(tm)t put a single word on paper for my aEURoemasterpiece.aEUR (Grocery lists donaEUR(tm)t count.) Suddenly, reality hit. Here I am, ninety-three years old, and if I seriously mean to write a book, IaEUR(tm)d better get busy. Time is moving on! What could I write about? Some people say itaEUR(tm)s better to write about something you know. Well, in ninety-three years, one would have lived through a lot of our countryaEUR(tm)s history. That could be a lot of fertile ground for subject matter. How about all the people one would have met and interacted with. There was a hitch though. Dementia was wiping out memories of the past, hard and fast. Words were slipping into oblivion and, all too often, not surfacing later. IaEUR(tm)d better hurry and write fast. In mentioning items to my daughters, they would say, aEURoeMama, I didnaEUR(tm)t know that. Put that in your book.aEUR It would enable them to be better acquainted with people, events, and even their own mother. I worked on and on for many, many afternoons, and months later, the last chapter was finished. Now I hope you enjoy reading it half as much as I enjoyed writing it because writing it enabled me to experience these memories a second time. Truly, IaEUR(tm)m a happy has-been.

But if you get that close to a man with fire in his eyes, you’re gonna get burned, and I was no exception. One taste of Grey Blackwood ruined me for life. The way Grey sees it, I was the one who did the ruining. I humiliated him. Wrecked his life. Destroyed his future. Doesn’t matter that he’s clawed his way back and then some. Doesn’t matter that he’s already top of the Wall Street food chain. The man’s ruthless. Heartless. And he likes his revenge served cold. Now he’s taking down the companies owned by every frat boy who did him wrong. And when he comes for my family’s company, the quiet life I’ve built for myself far away from Manhattan comes crumbling down, too. But when Grey’s standing in our boardroom, threatening a hostile takeover and demanding I negotiate on behalf of my family, I don’t see an enemy. I see the chance I’ve been waiting for. The chance for another night in his arms, and hopefully a whole lot more. Let the negotiations begin.

Book excerpt: The Waggle Dance offers advice and mentorship in a humble and intimate way, using first-person narratives, tender letters to a child, Bible verses, and thought-provoking questions.

In a playful, storytelling style, Courtney cuts through the confusion in life and helps us see clearly the rich rewards our experiences can bring us. Youngs’s stories each contain a hopeful message, which will motivate you to think better, do better, be better. You will learn that When you’re stuck in the past, just keep moving forward. When your path feels long, remember that our paths are seldom straight. Life is for the figuring it out—the loving, the messing up, and the waking up every day grateful that you get the chance to try it all again. Using the theory that hard seasons are our best teachers, Courtney talks about death, divorce, new careers, unlikely relationships, and her journey of becoming a mom. She introduces readers to some of the most influential people in her life and shares her discoveries in faith, friendship, and everything in between. Each chapter ends with motherly advice in the form of a letter written directly to her son, “Little Bee.” Her approach is one of humility, as a learner and not an expert who has it all figured out. The Waggle Dance comes from the perspective of a trusted friend, someone to help you see your way through the hard times in life—with a few laughs thrown in.

I definitely shouldn’t have spent the night passed out in the bed of the bartender’s daughter, Gigi. And the absolute last thing I should have done was let my guard down and start having fun. Now I’m thinking of her all the time… fantasizing about the things I want to do to Gigi. I’m in the middle of the best hockey season of my life. I need my head in the game and my focus on the playoffs – not playing house with the gorgeous bartender who makes me feel more alive than I have in years. Finding someone new so soon after a failed marriage isn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done. But it just might be too late. I’ve been checked hard into the boards, right off my skates, and I’m not only spinning out of control… I might just be falling in love all over again.
