Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty-eight-year-old Marcia Evans has spent her adult life as a struggling actress, unable to penetrate that barrier which prevents her from having the "big break" all aspiring actors and actresses hope to achieve which will move her career to the next level. She works part-time at a day job and does small acting gigs on the side. She is tired of her lifestyle and of life in the big city. Marcia eventually discovers a charming house set in the woods while traveling to an acting job at a theater outside of the city. She learns that the original owners, who were killed in a car accident twenty years after the house was built, were retirees who enjoyed aiding transients and runaways. The house passed on to the niece of the wife, who died only five years after moving into the house at a very young age. Using part of her grandmother's inheritance, Marcia purchases the house from the son of the deceased owner for a suspiciously low price. She moves into the house and rents a room out to Stephen Gomaz, a co-worker at her job and with whom she falls in love. But chronic illness, terrifying nightmares, and strange paranormal activity cause Marcia to question the true character of the original owners and the events that may have happened in the house. With the aid of a deputy sheriff and a psychic, the horrifying truth of the house is revealed.

Download or read book Mean and Lowly Things written by Kate Jackson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2005 Kate Jackson ventured into the remote swamp forests of the northern Congo to collect reptiles and amphibians. Her camping equipment was rudimentary, her knowledge of Congolese customs even more so. She knew how to string a net and set a pitfall trap, but she never imagined the physical and cultural difficulties that awaited her. Culled from the mud-spattered pages of her journals, Mean and Lowly Things reads like a fast-paced adventure story. It is Jackson’s unvarnished account of her research on the front lines of the global biodiversity crisis—coping with interminable delays in obtaining permits, learning to outrun advancing army ants, subsisting on a diet of Spam and manioc, and ultimately falling in love with the strangely beautiful flooded forest. The reptile fauna of the Republic of Congo was all but undescribed, and Jackson’s mission was to carry out the most basic study of the amphibians and reptiles of the swamp forest: to create a simple list of the species that exist there—a crucial first step toward efforts to protect them. When the snakes evaded her carefully set traps, Jackson enlisted people from the villages to bring her specimens. She trained her guide to tag frogs and skinks and to fix them in formalin. As her expensive camera rusted and her Western soap melted, Jackson learned what it took to swim with the snakes—and that there’s a right way and a wrong way to get a baby cobra out of a bottle.

Download or read book The Debris of Drugs and Alcohol Finding Peace in the Midst of the Broken Pieces written by Mimi Kashira Haws and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-10-04 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As people, we all struggle with stress, moments of panic, times of confusion, and other times that we feel overwhelmed and we can't sleep. And if it was up to the devil, he would be more than happy to medicate all of us with his fake remedies of alcohol and drugs. He is an opportunist, experienced in using our problems, our vulnerability, our wounding, our pain, our traumatic past experiences to get us where he wants. He is good at offering temporary relief for deeper crises of the soul. This is my true story of God stepping into my messy, shattered, and broken family life and rescuing me. You see, freedom, according to Satan, is being away from God. I don't think my son had any idea of who the devil was or how cunning he could be. He befriends to destroy, he gives to take away. As a mother of an adult struggling with addiction, my life was paralyzed. Every breath increased my pain of hopelessness and despair. I felt afraid, alone, and abandoned by God. God seemed distant, absent, silent, and unconcerned. I felt like running, but there was no place to hide. Was God punishing me? Where and how did I go wrong? Sharing my painful journey was not an easy step. I tried at all costs to hide this painful part of my life. It took years in my classroom of pain for my mind to be unshackled by the Teacher, the Holy Spirit. I no longer need to hide nor be ashamed of my challenges with my prodigal son. Nevertheless, breaking free from shame, stigma, and judgment is a process that took years. When we only let others see the beautiful parts of our stories, avoiding our broken painful chapters, we mislead people, and perhaps they envy us for what they falsely think are perfect lives. Worse, we misrepresent the power of the good news that reaches down into our broken souls, hearts, and lives to provide peace from our broken pieces. Dear waiting, praying, and expecting parents of struggling children, I believe God wants to usher you to your own breakthrough, healing, and freedom. You can learn to relinquish your child(ren) to God. Do not lose hope. Have faith. In his time, he will make all things beautiful for us! God wastes nothing, even our pain.

Download or read book A New Life written by Oluwafemi Senu and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ahead of Peter, miles away from home in a foreign land, lay his toughest challenge yet. In the pursuit of his dreams, he would be driven to the limits of desperation, hunger and endurance. In his eyes, life could not be lived; it had to be survived. Although the generational adage of 'suffering and smiling' prescribed to Nigerians perhaps would represent most of Peter's life, with sheer restless determination, he would wrestle his future into his hands. In his long-awaited sequel to The Unexpected Truth, Oluwafemi Senu, weaves a story where the reader feels his emotional journey from the beginning to end. Written as a testament to less privileged children, his triumphant autobiography underpins the principal ethos that has guided his life: a dream is never achieved by the man who stands still, but the one who tries is at least a step closer.

Download or read book Rumba on the River written by Gary Stewart and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There had always been music along the banks of the Congo River-lutes and drums, the myriad instruments handed down from ancestors. But when Joseph Kabasele and his African Jazz went chop for chop with O.K. Jazz and Bantous de la Capitale, music in Africa would never be the same. A sultry rumba washed in relentless waves across new nations springing up below the Sahara. The Western press would dub the sound soukous or rumba rock; most of Africa called in Congo music. Born in Kinshasa and Brazzaville at the end of World War II, Congon music matured as Africans fought to consolidate their hard-won independence. In addition to great musicians-Franco, Essous, Abeti, Tabu Ley, and youth bands like Zaiko Langa Langa-the cast of characters includes the conniving King Leopold II, the martyred Patrice Lumumba, corrupt dictator Mobutu Sese Seko, military strongman Denis Sassou Nguesso, heavyweight boxing champs George Foreman and Muhammad Ali, along with a Belgian baron and a clutch of enterprising Greek expatriates who pioneered the Congolese recording industry. Rumba on the River presents a snapshot of an era when the currents of tradition and modernization collided along the banks of the Congo. It is the story of twin capitals engulfed in political struggle and the vibrant new music that flowered amidst the ferment.
