Book excerpt: Stephen Valentino finds it's hard to go from homelessness to a life with eerily friendly guys who keep saying they want to help him. Staying with new acquaintances Matt Tucker and Tom Van der Haas for the summer, Stephen is in a new world, with a job, friends, and maybe even a girlfriend. But he isn't sure he can keep it, because Stephen has a secret, one that might cause his friends to walk away if he can't hide it, and he's pretty sure he can't hide it forever. Meanwhile, he attracts trouble at work; he can't figure out Amy, who has secrets of her own and won't let him into her life; and his past comes to call. That one hurts most of all, realizing he can't make a clean break from his old life. Instead, to protect everyone he cares about, he might have to leave his new life behind and go it alone. The guys tell him there's a God to help him out, but for now, Stephen feels like he's facing the world alone.

Lately, Esch can't keep down what food she gets; at fifteen, she has just realized that she's pregnant. Her brother Skeetah is sneaking scraps for his prized pit bull's new litter, dying one by one.

Book excerpt: Cherokee Jones isn't a big fan of college student and horseman extraordinaire Matt Tucker, but since they work on the same ranch this summer, he’s stuck with him. But maybe it’s not Matt Kee doesn't like; maybe it’s that Matt reminds him of the reason he’s living in a cabin at the corner of a horse ranch all alone, and he doesn't need any more reminders of his mistakes and secrets. When he’s hurt at work, he finds himself kidnapped into Matt’s life, which is filled with people and chaos and everything Kee is running from. Between Matt’s over-the-top care, Matt’s roommates’ scary insights, and the clueless college girl who keeps showing up at the farm and sharing her secrets, Kee feels trapped. The more he pushes them all away, the more tangled he gets in their lives, and that just leads to humiliation and anger. But it looks like God might want something from Kee, and if God is after him, there’s really no place he can hide.

Download or read book Misflitch written by Jill Penrod and published by Jill Penrod. This book was released on 2014-12-06 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For generations two peoples have fought over the mountains of Thanador. The native Tarra'ans hate the recent arrivals, the Contolte, and eventually that hatred turns to war. Yaotl and Jensen, though, are a Tarra'an and a Contolte who live as brothers. Yearning to stay together, they find no safe place where both can be welcomed. Frorn across the great water, Nadia is a missioner from a clinic who is able to walk outside the battle. When her path crosses that of the two men, one of them is injured, and they decide to escape down the burning, warring mountain together. She leads them to a Tarra'an village that claims to love TrueGod and promises to protect both the men, but some hatred takes time to fade, and before long staying in the village is almost as dangerous to the trio as setting off alone. But they also find allies and friends, even forbidden romance, and when the evil of the war threatens to destroy the whole mountain, love and friendship may be the only things to save any of them, Tarra'an and Contolte alike. Visit a new land in this installment of the Tales of Balia, the Christian historical fantasy/romance series that takes readers across lush landscapes and into rich cultures as the deity TrueGod seeks lost and broken people, healing hearts and lives while he calls them home.

Download or read book Salvaged written by Roy Goble and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful Silicon Valley real estate developer and wealth creator Roy Goble shares the surprising lessons he learned as a boy working in his family junkyard. Skillfully uniting the teachings of Jesus with the sometimes messy realities of leading people and getting things done, Salvaged helps leaders at all levels discover powerful opportunities to follow Jesus in the real world—and in surprisingly simple ways. Working in his dad’s junkyard as a kid, Roy had no idea what his future held: an incredibly successful career in commercial real estate, as well as founding and leading multiple ministries, churches, and nonprofits across the globe. So when Roy talks about what it means to follow Jesus daily as a leader, people pay attention. Entrepreneurs, pastors, and managers who learn to lead from Roy won’t parrot his jargon or practice his “system”—these men and women will simply know how to lead better. After a no-nonsense and compelling introduction, Roy delivers 31 of his most surprising, memorable, and practical leadership lessons, many of which are culled from his junkyard days. Each focuses on a personal “junkyard” story, leadership lesson, and comparable Bible passage perfect for daily study. A growth and action section is included after each chapter that gets to the heart of the lesson through thought-provoking questions with action steps designed to be immediately put into practice.
Download or read book Collecting the Self written by Sing-chen Lydia Chiang and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese strange tale collections contain short stories about ghosts and animal spirits, supra-human heroes and freaks, exotic lands and haunted homes, earthquake and floods, and other perceived “anomalies” to accepted cosmic and social norms. As such, this body of literature is a rich repository of Chinese myths, folklore, and unofficial “histories”. These collections also reflect Chinese attitudes towards normalcy and strangeness, perceptions of civilization and barbarism, and fantasies about self and other. Inspired in part by Freud’s theory of the uncanny, this book explores the emotive subtexts of late imperial strange tale collections to consider what these stories tell us about suppressed cultural anxieties, the construction of gender, and authorial self-identity.

Download or read book Australian Fiction as Archival Salvage written by Frances A. Johnson and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-11-16 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian Fiction as Archival Salvage examines key developments in the field of the Australian postcolonial historical novel from 1989 to the present. In parallel with this analysis, A. Frances Johnson undertakes a unique study of in-kind creativity, reflecting on how her own nascent historical fiction has been critically and imaginatively shaped and inspired by seminal experiments in the genre – by writers as diverse as Kate Grenville, Mudrooroo, Kim Scott, Peter Carey, Richard Flanagan, and Rohan Wilson. Mapping the postcolonial novel against the impact of postcolonial cultural theory and Australian writers’ intermittent embrace of literary postmodernism, this survey is also read against the post-millenial ‘history’ and ‘culture wars’ which saw politicizations of national debates around history and fierce contestation over the ways stories of Australian pasts have been written.

Download or read book Yagara Dictionary and Salvage Grammar written by Karen Sullivan and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most English speakers in Australia know a few words of Yagara, the Pama-Nyungan language traditionally spoken in the area that now includes Brisbane and Ipswich. For example, Australian English yakka ‘work’ comes from the Yagara verb yaga ‘to work’. However, no fluent native speakers of Yagara remain. The current volume compares the written records of Yagara to facilitate revitalisation of the spoken language. Part 1: Grammar introduces the Yagara sources, which are then compared to extract a picture of Yagara’s structure – its sounds, its words, and its grammar. Attention is also given to the system of kinship terms, moieties, and totems. Part 2: Dictionary contains the most complete Yagara-English dictionary to date, with over 2,200 entries, the original source spellings for each word, standardised spellings, and anthropological notes. Entries include traditional place names, fun insults, and everyday expressions such as the greeting wi balga ‘Hey, come’. The dictionary is followed by an English word finder list. Part 3: Texts consist of full versions of all known texts in Yagara, including sentences, songs, and three Bible stories. Standardised versions are accompanied by English translations and the original unedited renditions. Format: Hardback
