Simon wakes, choking on water, drowning in the darkness of his night, struggling to understand what madness he is connecting to now. As usual, he has few answers, and the ones he does find make no sense.

Book excerpt: Detective Kate Morgan isn’t impressed with her latest case. A terrorized woman walks into the police station, with a message for Kate. Actually a message that drags Simon into the middle of it—no, make that front and center. A challenge has been issued, one that Kate is determined to solve, hopefully keeping Simon on the sidelines. Blindsided, Simon doesn’t understand the message or the hate being directed his way. And the last thing he wants to do is revisit his past. Yet being in the middle of one of Kate’s cases doesn’t give him an option. If he can’t get to the bottom of this, his life will be, once again, torn apart—all to appease a madman’s new game. But the answer, … when it comes, is closer to home than anyone realizes.

Download or read book You Should Pity Us Instead written by Amy Gustine and published by Sarabande Books. This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “From the absurdly comic to the acutely moving”—eleven fearless stories of love, friendship, faith and family under siege (The New York Times Book Review). Stretching from 19th century Ellis Island to 21st century Gaza and suburban Ohio, “these 11 stories, each ambitious in scope, drop us into one nerve-racking situation after another . . . inhabiting a wide range of voices” (The San Francisco Chronicle). In “Coyote” a mother’s need to protect her toddler spirals into a dangerous obsession. “Prisoners Do” follows two married doctors who find temporary escape in a discomforting affair. An Israeli woman risks more than she imagines when she attempts to reclaim her captive child from militants in “All the Sons of Cain.” “Half-Life” uncovers the devastating secret behind a nanny’s chosen profession; in “An Uncontaminated Soul” a haunted and lonely cat lady’s impulsive rescue of two more kittens proves to be a heartbreaking turning point; and in the title story, an atheist family from Berkley relocates to the conservative Midwest to confront the consequences and limits of their beliefs. “Brave, essential, thrilling, each story in You Should Pity UsInstead takes us to those places we’ve never dared visit before” (Ben Stroud). “They detonate on target, literary grenades of resounding impact . . . bursting with startling insights, stabbing dialogue, ambushing metaphor, and stunning moments of dissonance” (Booklist).

Download or read book The Sunflower written by Simon Wiesenthal and published by Schocken. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Holocaust survivor's surprising and thought-provoking study of forgiveness, justice, compassion, and human responsibility, featuring contributions from the Dalai Lama, Harry Wu, Cynthia Ozick, Primo Levi, and more. You are a prisoner in a concentration camp. A dying Nazi soldier asks for your forgiveness. What would you do? While imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp, Simon Wiesenthal was taken one day from his work detail to the bedside of a dying member of the SS. Haunted by the crimes in which he had participated, the soldier wanted to confess to--and obtain absolution from--a Jew. Faced with the choice between compassion and justice, silence and truth, Wiesenthal said nothing. But even years after the way had ended, he wondered: Had he done the right thing? What would you have done in his place? In this important book, fifty-three distinguished men and women respond to Wiesenthal's questions. They are theologians, political leaders, writers, jurists, psychiatrists, human rights activists, Holocaust survivors, and victims of attempted genocides in Bosnia, Cambodia, China and Tibet. Their responses, as varied as their experiences of the world, remind us that Wiesenthal's questions are not limited to events of the past.

Book excerpt: As this sequel to the author's SPIDER SONG opens, Joanna Bryce and Dina Miller are struggling to create a harmonious life together. And then the process becomes further complicated by murder-Sweet Birch Lodge seems the perfect place to wait out the Spring Blizzard of 98: old; rustic; creepy creaky; home to a bloody ghost or two, no doubt. Or so the weekend guests at the Ashton Arboretum believe, as they prepare for a night of stormy mayhem. In the morning, when the sleep-deprived visitors assemble in the dining room, it gradually becomes apparent that an unfortunate one of their number is absent. Permanently so. Joanna, naturalist at the arboretum, once again finds herself drawn into the world of murder. Although at first not much involved, additional crimes alter that situation drastically. In the end, she and Dina must combat an unknown killer in a desperate effort to rescue someone they love. Exhausted, with nerves stretched thin and anger at the firing point, they also must rescue their failing relationship. Or let it go. Before the story ends, more than one will have sung the Sad Woman Blues.

Download or read book Simon Says written by Donald Drake and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2007-04 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The game of SIMON SAYS illustrates the contrast between the clear teachings of the Word of God and the empty philosophy of this world: "The Christian Life is a lot like that game of 'Simon Says.' Each believer will always be challenged by two commands. One command comes from the world and the other command comes from God. The believer must discern which is which and should always decide to obey the command from God." Although SIMON SAYS is not a biography of Simon Peter, it reflects the significant difference between the empty purposes of Simon and the dedicated perspective of the man who became Peter-the rock. Although SIMON SAYS is not a commentary on I and II Peter, it endeavors to show that Peter learned his lessons so well that he presents over 100 commands in his two short epistles. Dr. Drake has chosen 14 of those commands to present principles that Peter gives to God's legal aliens of every age. Born in Teaneck, NJ, Donald Drake graduated from the King's College with a BA in English Literature and from Wheaton with an MA in Biblical Literature (NT). Ministries have included: Assistant Pastor at First Baptist Church of Hackensack, NJ. Assistant Treasurer, Advisory Board member of ABWE. President of Piedmont Baptist College for eighteen years. Accreditation Commission of the Association for Biblical Higher Education Board member and President of ABHE. English Bible Teacher for Bible Basics International. Short term missionary service in the Philippines and South Africa. He married Catherine Demarest in 1952 and they have four children, all active in Christian ministry. Mrs. Drake is the author of MAKE IT LIVE, a practical guide for teaching the Bible to children.
