Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Trillium Book Award In Téa Mutonji’s disarming debut story collection, a woman contemplates her Congolese traditions during a family wedding, a teenage girl looks for happiness inside a pack of cigarettes, a mother reconnects with her daughter through their shared interest in fish, and a young woman decides on shaving her head in the waiting room of an abortion clinic. These punchy, sharply observed stories blur the lines between longing and choosing, exploring the narrator’s experience as an involuntary one. Tinged with pathos and humor, they interrogate the moments in which femininity, womanness, and identity are not only questioned but also imposed.

The cops have proof that will send Tomek to prison for life. Meanwhile, prosecuting the case is a Viking goddess of a woman, as smart as she is stunning, who draws everyone's adoration. Next to her, Lennox feels like a garden gnome. It doesn’t help that August Kline, Lennox’s boss and Tomek’s defense attorney, is ready to throw his client under the bus in a plea deal that carries a ten-year sentence just to date the prosecutor. As Lennox untangles all the lies surrounding the case, she sees deeper into Tomek’s humanity and into her own. She realizes that she’s in love with Kline, who’s in lust with the prosecutor. Now, if Lennox hopes to truly save an innocent man, she must wager her job, her love, and her own safety to find the killer… “Readers will look forward to seeing more of the feisty and resourceful Lennox.”—Publishers Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jeremy Gavron's new novel invites you on a remarkable walking tour - a tour during which the ghosts of London's Brick Lane open up their front doors." "Each house has a story to tell. At number 30, in the autumn of 1888, a man is arrested with a packet of entrails in his pocket and Inspector Abberline wonders if he has caught the Whitechapel murderer. Where number 111 now stands a medieval apprentice and a young nun are caught meeting at a spring. At 98, in 1904, the People's Revolution gets underway." "As we journey down the street, these lives begin to echo each other across time. At number 41 a man tries to hide his family in the shadows of a ruined London; 1500 years later, a gangster's sister lives with the consequences of having been found. At 246 a mammoth dies, and long afterwards, a giant's thighbone is discovered. Beneath it all, a young woman trawls through the sewers, finding the things the rest of us have lost or forgotten. From within these individual stories, we hear the echoes of history." "In a blend of fiction, history and archaeology, Jeremy Gavron uncovers the story of one street - the story of Brick Lane, the story of London, and the story of Britain."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book From Creation to the Cross written by Albert H. Baylis and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Christians don't quite know what to do with the first half of the Bible. Some are fascinated by the historical sweep of the Old Testament. Others are blessed by its poetry. Still others focus on its prophecies. But what are the heart and soul of the Old Testament? In From Creation to the Cross, Al Baylis is a guide who shares with us his love for, and profound understanding of, the Old Testament. He walks us through the Old Testament, pointing out along the way perspectives and insights that leave us with a new, personal understanding of these thirty-nine books -- and more importantly, of the God of the Old Testament, who lovingly prepared the way before sending his Son. As Bruce Wilkinson puts it in the Foreword, "I could almost picture (Baylis) as a seasoned rabbi surrounded by a huddle of eager listeners. He doesn't simply teach the Old Testament; it's as if he personally reminisces through it." From Creation to the Cross is one of those rare books that speaks to a wide range of readers, from high school students to homemakers to college professors. This revised and expanded edition of On the Way to Jesus makes this unique and highly readable approach to the first half of the Bible available once again. It is ideally suited for use in Bible study groups.

Download or read book Unfamiliar Fishes written by Sarah Vowell and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-03-22 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Lafayette in the Somewhat United States, an examination of Hawaii, the place where Manifest Destiny got a sunburn. Many think of 1776 as the defining year of American history, when we became a nation devoted to the pursuit of happiness through self- government. In Unfamiliar Fishes, Sarah Vowell argues that 1898 might be a year just as defining, when, in an orgy of imperialism, the United States annexed Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam, and invaded first Cuba, then the Philippines, becoming an international superpower practically overnight. Among the developments in these outposts of 1898, Vowell considers the Americanization of Hawaii the most intriguing. From the arrival of New England missionaries in 1820, their goal to Christianize the local heathen, to the coup d'état of the missionaries' sons in 1893, which overthrew the Hawaiian queen, the events leading up to American annexation feature a cast of beguiling, and often appealing or tragic, characters: whalers who fired cannons at the Bible-thumpers denying them their God-given right to whores, an incestuous princess pulled between her new god and her brother-husband, sugar barons, lepers, con men, Theodore Roosevelt, and the last Hawaiian queen, a songwriter whose sentimental ode "Aloha 'Oe" serenaded the first Hawaiian president of the United States during his 2009 inaugural parade. With her trademark smart-alecky insights and reporting, Vowell lights out to discover the off, emblematic, and exceptional history of the fiftieth state, and in so doing finds America, warts and all.
