Inti is not the woman she once was, either, changed by the harm she’s witnessed—inflicted by humans on both the wild and each other. Yet as the wolves surprise everyone by thriving, Inti begins to let her guard down, even opening herself up to the possibility of love. But when a farmer is found dead, Inti knows where the town will lay blame. Unable to accept her wolves could be responsible, Inti makes a reckless decision to protect them. But if the wolves didn’t make the kill, then who did? And what will Inti do when the man she is falling for seems to be the prime suspect?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samara Taylor used to believe in miracles. She used to believe in a lot of things. As a pastor's kid, it's hard not to buy in to the idea of the perfect family, a loving God, and amazing grace. But lately, Sam has a lot of reason to doubt. Her mother lands in rehab after a DUI and her father seems more interested in his congregation than his family. When a young girl in her small town is kidnapped, the local tragedy overlaps with Sam's personal one, and the already-worn thread of faith holding her together begins to unravel. In her third novel, acclaimed author Sara Zarr examines the coexistence of affliction and hope, and what happens when everything you thought you believed---about God, about your family, about yourself---is transformed.
Download or read book Once There Were Three written by Mack W. Hampton and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once There Were Three Mack W. Hampton "Lord, how could You have let this happen to me?" Have you ever said that when adversity or tragedy confronted you? The answers are often too few to satisfy most of us. Even Job did not receive the reason for his sorrows. But God does offer hope, a sure foundation for trust when it is based on God's Word. At least that's how Mack Hampton came to terms with the actions of a sovereign God. Once There Were Three is a poignant and honest first-person account of one man's struggle with the anguish of losing a loved one. Author Hampton's true story of his daughter's death and its aftermath is "an attempt to describe such a loss and discuss that which only can fill the void-faith in Almighty God." Hampton shares, through reflections interspersed with poetry and letters, some of his most agonizing thoughts as he struggled to see God's perspective on the events. He gives some relevant suggestions for dealing with the trauma of death. Four things from Matthew 6:33 are especially noteworthy: 1. Return to God's Word. 2. Return to God in prayer. 3. Major on majors. (First things first). 4. Return to God in His ways.
