Download or read book Seven Mile Bridge written by Michael M. Biehl and published by Pineapple Press Inc. This book was released on 2009 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Biehl's first two novels, mysteries featuring medical law, were highly critically acclaimed. Now he enters new territory with an intensely introspective mystery, so finely written that Seven Mile Bridge transcends the genre--but still keeps you turning pages to find out who, if anyone, did it. Jonathan Bruckner, a middle-aged Florida Keys diveshop owner with a taste for whiskey and not much else, has returned to his Wisconsin childhood home after his mother's death. He knows he should tidy up, sell the house, and get back to the Keys. But he admits his journey home has deeper objectives. "I didn't travel from Marathon, Florida, to Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and close my dive shop for three weeks because I thought I would find valuables or money in the house on Foxglove Lane. I came because I thought I might find answers." What he finds in sifting through the sad remnants of his once-happy family life spins him back to the quest that obsessed him in his early adult years. When he was seventeen, he found his father dead in the garage. All the grownups said it was suicide, but Jonathan thought he knew better. He risked his life and compromised his future trying to find his father's killer. He has lived his entire adult life under the cloud of his father's death, isolated by suspicion and frustrated by his failure to uncover the truth. He now has one final chance to solve the mystery and track down whoever was responsible. "Now, more than half my adult life is behind me, and where am I? Fearful that the blood of monsters runs in my veins, hoping for vindication, desperate for resolution one way or the other." As he searches for clues to his father's death, Jonathan is stunned by what he discovers about his father's life, and comes to know his parents in a way he never did as a child. He is shocked to find that he may have had a sister he never knew, and rediscovers his relationship with his schizophrenic brother. Mostly, he is surprised by what he learns about himself. Fluidly moving between past and present, between hope and despair, Seven Mile Bridge is a story about one man's obsession with the truth, and how much can depend on finding it.

Book excerpt: In this critically acclaimed Maine classic, first published in 1945, Helen Hamlin writes of her adventures teaching school at a remote Maine lumber camp and then of living deep in the Maine wilderness with her game warden husband. Her experiences are a must-read for anyone who loves the untamed nature and wondrous beauty of Maine's north woods and the unique spirit of those who lived there. In the 1930s, in spite of being warned that remote Churchill Depot was 'no place for a woman', the remarkable Helen Hamlin set off at age twenty to teach school at the isolated lumber camp at the headwaters of the Allagash River. She eventually married a game warden and moved deeper into the wilderness. In her book, Hamlin captures that time in her life, complete with the trappers, foresters, lumbermen, woods folk, wild animals, and natural splendour that she found at Umsaskis Lake and then at Nine Mile Bridge on the St. John River.

Download or read book Last Train to Paradise written by Les Standiford and published by Crown. This book was released on 2003-08-05 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fast-paced and gripping true account of the extraordinary construction and spectacular demise of the Key West Railroad—one of the greatest engineering feats ever undertaken, destroyed in one fell swoop by the strongest storm ever to hit U.S. shores. In 1904, the brilliant and driven entrepreneur Henry Flagler, partner to John D. Rockefeller, dreamed of a railway connecting the island of Key West to the Florida mainland, crossing a staggering 153 miles of open ocean—an engineering challenge beyond even that of the Panama Canal. Many considered the project impossible, but build it they did. The railroad stood as a magnificent achievement for more than twenty-two years, heralded as “the Eighth Wonder of the World,” until its total destruction in 1935's deadly storm of the century. In Last Train to Paradise, Standiford celebrates this crowning achievement of Gilded Age ambition, bringing to life a sweeping tale of the powerful forces of human ingenuity colliding with the even greater forces of nature’s wrath.

Words of forgiveness, salvation, relationship, abandonment, distress, triumph, and reunion. Seven statements that mean everything. In Seven-Mile Miracle, Pastor Steven Furtick shows us how Jesus’s last words offer mile markers for our journey in relationship with God. It’s a lifelong journey and it’s not always easy. But Jesus is both our guide and our destination as we travel. Includes questions for reflection and a forty-day reading guide to Jesus’s death and resurrection. A Proven Path for Spiritual Growth From time to time we all feel stuck in our relationship with God and frustrated by life’s setbacks. Jesus faced what could have been the ultimate defeat on the cross. Yet he emerged triumphant through his relationship with his heavenly Father. And he showed us the way so that we could do the same. In Seven-Mile Miracle, Steven Furtick explores how Jesus’s seven last statements on the cross offer a proven spiritual growth path for us. You will experience the Easter message more personally than ever before as you engage the words of forgiveness, salvation, relationship, abandonment, distress, triumph, reunion. After all, we are not simply believers—people who have put our faith in Jesus. We are not simply disciples—pupils who learn from him. We are called to be followers of Christ.
