Download or read book Staggering Through The Darkness written by R. J. Tipton and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a raw and riveting story about spiritual battles, navigating dark valleys, the horrors of addiction, and struggling with the loneliness that only years of shameful secrets can produce while outwardly putting on our best church clothes, pretending that everything is okay, and attempting to serve Jesus with a sanctified smile on our faces, like good Christians are supposed to while staggering through the darkness. It's a story about how ugly and uncomfortable the sanctification process is when two kingdoms collide over and over again. It's a story about the subculture of Christianity in the South, where traditions are equal to doctrine in many instances, and how the negative effects of a real Christ-centered community leave us hanging high and dry, isolated and vulnerable. It's a story that shines an unwanted but painfully necessary light on the dark corners of kingdom living, even for ministry leaders, while powerfully reminding us about redemption, grace, and how the gospel has the power to continue to set us free if we will allow it to.

Download or read book A Summer in the Twenties written by Peter Dickinson and published by Small Beer Press. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A lovely smooth read."—The Washington Post "A witty, affectionately nostalgic masterpiece."—The Columbus Dispatch "As absorbingly readable, as well-written as anything Peter Dickinson has written."—The Times Literary Supplement Praise for Peter Dickinson's mysteries: "The works of British Mystery Writer Peter Dickinson are like caviar—an acquired taste that can easily lead to addiction. Dickinson . . . does not make much of the process of detection, nor does he specialize in suspense. Instead, he neatly packs his books with such old-fashioned virtues as mood, character, and research."—Time "Dickinson (author of engagingly offbeat thrillers and children's books) does splendidly here with atmosphere, with the eccentric supporting characters, with the occasionally bizarre comic touches."—Kirkus Reviews In 1926 the British government was worried about revolution. Two million people are about to go on strike and class warfare is about to erupt. Tom Hankey is caught between his love for Judy, a bright young thing, and Kate, a fireball agitator. Brought home from Oxford by his father, Tom volunteers to drive a train in the General Strike. When the train is ambushed, Tom is thrust into the darkest and most threatening regions of English politics. Gritty yet sparkling and full of unexpected turnarounds, A Summer in the Twenties resonates and captivates. Peter Dickinson has twice received the Crime Writers' Association's Gold Dagger. His novels include Death of a Unicorn, The Poison Oracle, and many more. He lives in England and is married to the novelist Robin McKinley.

Download or read book The Light written by J. Powers and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a cosmos where the physical constants of nature are fine tuned to unimaginable precision to permit the existence of life, the giant US/Chinese radio telescope on the far side of the moon detects no technological civilizations. Why? Fantasies of space travel to the stars and cheap limitless energy have, by the mid-21st century, proven to be just that. Fantasies. Upon this stage appears an American Indian woman in the grip of a delusion that her son is Quetzalcoatl, an ancient Meso-American God whom she has pursued in devotion across the centuries. A teacher at the shabby Apache Indian reservation elementary school recognizes the boy as probably the greatest mathematical genius in human history. A shaman senses in the man the reality of myth and fulfillment of ancient prophecy. None comprehend the staggering dimensions of his true destiny. The Light is a psychedelic adventure of a genius who must choose between surrender to delusion, or freedom from superstition and madness to fall in love and live his own life as the greatest particle physicist of his age. In so doing he unleashes forces that give substance to ancient myths and challenge the limits of human imagination.
