Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the preacher rode into the gold camp he knew his work was cut out for him. It was a world filled with wickedness and greed and He knew he would not be able to build a church here without God's help. To Frenchy, he was a man unlike any she had ever known. To give all that he had and ask for nothing in return made no sense and she was determined to find out what made this man tick. To Nick, he was a problem that had to be eliminated before he ruined the world he had created. The story of these conflicting lives was played out beneath the majestic peaks of the Rocky Mountains and only God himself could know the dramatic events that would resolve the conflicts of lives on a collision course. For nearly 40 years I have been fascinated by the mining history of my state. I have visited many of the old mining camps and sought out the history of the colorful people that lived in those places. In so doing I discovered a world of high adventure and larger than life characters that once lived in those remote mountain locations. To gain a more intimate knowledge of that world I worked in the mining industry. One summer several of the miners agreed in pray that even tough and independent men like the ones that worked in our mines could be saved. God answered our prayers and over the summer many gave their lives to Christ. It made me wonder what it would have been like if a man of God had determined to bring revival to one of those notorious gold camps. This story is the result of that idea.

Semi-Finalist in the 2020 Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (SPFBO6) ‘The premise of a sentient city pinching parts of other dimensions to glue into itself had me feeling fantasy with a splash of Doctor Who and a sprinkle of Carnival Row... The dialogue is snappy and entertaining too, flowing with a natural rhythm that was a joy to read.’ - Alicia Wanstall-Burke, author of The Coraidic Saga ‘This is one of most imaginative books I have read in a long time... The characters are as colorful as the concepts themselves and each one remains in the reader’s memories even after putting down the book. I never felt bored during the book—I was invested throughout.’ - Kartik Narayanan, SPFBO judge ‘I loved how the author set it up like a detective show, wherein each chapter is a self-contained mystery but which contributes to the overarching plot, complete with guest stars and returning characters and little bits of knowledge that are each a piece of the larger puzzle. Yet beneath the Sam Spade-style patter (“Not so fast, sister”) and the individual mysteries is a meditation on the nature of knowledge, believe, and memory, both real and artificial, and how all these things together make us—as individuals and as society—who we are.’ - A.M. Justice, author of The Woern Saga ‘After 40 years reading fantasy, it’s exciting to find something different.’ - Kerry Smith, SPFBO judge ‘A highly imagined story, this is a well done portal fantasy. I felt the characters were well rounded and each developed in a gradual way, as is the world in which they live.’ - Lynn Kempner, Grimmedian

Young boys are being abducted, abused, and murdered on her patch, and she feels intense personal and professional pressure to catch those responsible. Kate must navigate the unfamiliar channels of power in male-dominated Birmingham; are her colleagues being deliberately obstructive or simply dragging their feet? Soon she is forced to make an important decision: Should she follow the conventional line of enquiry, toe the company line, and work as part of the team, or should she strike out on her own, reputation be damned? Kate's got her work cut out for her, but she's a tough young cop who's seen a lot in her brief career and no one, not a heavy-handed supervisor or a vicious killer, is going to stop her from surviving, and thriving, in Birmingham.

Download or read book Secular Soulmates written by Hanif Mike Karim and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-07-10 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India, Pakistan and Bangladesh constituted one country until they got their independence from Britain in 1947. Towards the end of their struggle they demanded that once they achieve their independence they want to be separated based on their faiths. The leaders couldn’t agree that could live peacefully once they controlled their own destiny. The British eventually negotiated a deal where Hindu majority will live in India and Muslim majority will live in East and West Pakistan. East Pakistan will later separate from Pakistan to become Bangladesh. Before this partition between India and Pakistan there were boundless stories about how Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and other various religious factions lived harmoniously for centuries. When the independence was achieved somehow this harmony evaporated, and a minority of extremists on all sides were successful in inflaming the hatred towards each other. Millions of people were killed, displaced and lives destroyed at the time of the partition. The impact of this destruction never completely dissipated and some sectors on both sides still would not leave it alone. This book tries to capture the harmonious era in which the Hindus and Muslims lived side by side like good neighbors, shared their meals, participated in the ups and downs of their lives and even religious activities. They didn’t feel the need of proving to each other whose religion was superior. Anul Shetty and Salim Sultan were friends from that era. They went to the same elementary school together when they were children. They separated in their adolescence like most children do. But when they accidentally met again after nearly half a century they became inseparable. Their bond became stronger after each day. That bond did not disappear after Anul Shetty died. His soul was always present in the hearts of his beloved daughter Manesh and his friend Salim Sultan. Both of them will let not the other forget the presence of Anul’s soul. When Manesh and Salim’s long lost son Ashok eventually get together and fall in love, that’s when the circle is complete. That is when Anul’s soul could Rest In Peace.

Download or read book Love Perversion or Just Nature written by James Prince and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-07 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not always easy to know who is telling the truth, you would tell me. I can tell you that almost everything that is said or written can be verified. One thing is sure and this is that everything I wrote about the word of God, everything I wrote about what is from the Bible can be verified. So I beg everyone and anyone to get back to me if I said and wrote anything that is not conformed to the scriptures. I know perfectly that mistaking is human, but I also know that the lie is diabolic and John, Jesus' brother said no lie comes from the truth. See 1 John 2, 21. 'I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.' If you are happy for discovering the truth because of what you read in this book; then tell everyone you can and if it is possible do it without risking your life, because I wish you can do it for a long time. This book contains enough information about the truth, the word of God for anyone who wants to be a Jesus' disciple to begin his or her mission. Don't you ever forget the many Jesus' warnings and mine though, and remember that you will be flogged in the churches and this most likely unnecessarily. May God bless you! James Prince with the Jesus' discipline. A Jesus' disciple has only one religion and this is the one he got from Jesus. This means to go directly to God and the Father in heaven will receive you. See Matthew 6, 18. James Prince
