Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventh Commissario Ricciardi historical mystery is “an intricately layered whodunit set in Fascist Naples . . . A richly textured story” (Kirkus Reviews). In the middle of a summer heat wave, as Naples prepares for one of its most important holy days, a renowned surgeon falls to his death from the window of his office. For Commissario Ricciardi and Brigadier Maione it is the beginning of an investigation that will bring them into contact with the most torrid, conflicting, and enduring of human passions. In the world Ricciardi and Maione are about to enter, infidelity appears inextricable from the most joyful expressions of love, and, this interdependence sows doubt and uncertainty in both men, compromising their own attempts at love. Ricciardi is one of the most intriguing and unique figures to appear in crime fiction in recent years. He possesses the dubious gift of being able to see and hear the last seconds in the lives of those who have suffered a violent death. This ability makes him an unusually effective investigator but plagues him and renders human relationships almost impossible. He is a classic noir hero and the cursed son of a city that, for all its Mediterranean splendor, is a perfect noir city. In this new installment in the Commissario Ricciardi series, Maurizio de Giovanni creates a large cast of unforgettable characters and a compelling, suspenseful plot that demonstrates once more why he is considered one of the best crime writers working today. “Complex, lyrical . . . A searing look at the tortured soul of the lead makes this entry especially memorable.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Book excerpt: This lovely book, "Lily's Wishful Garden," takes readers to a small, picture-perfect town tucked between a sparkling river and rolling hills. Lily, a tiny child, is the main character of the story. She is known for being very kind and very interested in everything. She lives with her parents, Mr., and Mrs. Johnson, in a small house. In their backyard, she finds a magical garden that gives wishes. This garden is one of a kind, with daisies that look like stars and bright, singing flowers that cast soothing light. The coolest thing about it is that it can grant wishes if the people who make them are kind and sincere. When Lily is old enough to understand its power, her parents bring her to this garden and teach her how to ask for the best. Lily makes her first wish with a special seed from the garden. She wants something that will make everyone in the town happy. She takes very good care of the seed and watches it grow into a beautiful plant with green leaves. The seed bears fruit after a few weeks: a bunch of pretty flowers. This meets her goal. Lily's heart is full of love as she gives the flowers to the other people in the town, and they are very thankful. Lily keeps making wishes for others in the garden, and the neighborhood turns into a happy place where everyone can live together in peace and laugh. One day, Lily finds a strange plant in the yard. Its blooms reflect light in a rainbow shape. She knows that now is the right time to give her biggest wish yet—one that will have an impact on the whole world. As Lily begs the garden, a soft breeze blows the seeds of happiness into the air, making Lily's wish reach many hearts. Every season, Lily's wish comes true a little more. People care about the earth, there is a lot of kindness and warmth, and there is so much happiness. The story of Lily's Wishful Garden gives the world its inspiration to change into a place of peace and hope. Reading this book will always be meaningful and inspiring for people of all ages because it shows so well how kindness, love, and selflessness can bring about good things. Following Lily's request and her journey as the caretaker of the magical garden showed the lasting magic in people's hearts and the power of true wishes to change things. This is how the story starts: A long time ago, there was a little girl named Lily who lived in a peaceful town with rolling hills and water that flowed slowly. Lily lived in a lovely town with a thatched roof. It was a safe place to escape the wild things that happen in nature. Being around her was always a joy, and she was very interested in everything around her. But the most attention was paid to the lush area behind the house—a beautiful yard like no other. This garden wasn't like any other; it was a beautiful spot where dreams could come true. The parents of Lily, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, had found the beautiful garden's secret gem many years ago. It had won their hearts, so they chose to tell Lily the closely guarded secret when she was old enough to understand how powerful it could be. The flowers in this beautiful garden were so bright and colorful that they seemed to sparkle with an ethereal brightness as they were lit by the sun. Roses were among these beautiful flowers. Their leaves showed a rainbow of bright colors and made lovely sounds that people found relaxing, like the sound of a faraway symphony. Lilies that were bathed in soft, beautiful light sent a sense of peace to everyone who came across them. The stars, which were spread out across the yard like celestial constellations, made the petals of the daisies shine with the brightness of the stars. Their love for the garden's magic was so strong that they decided to tell Lily its carefully kept secret as soon as she was old enough to understand its overwhelming power. This magical garden was a big canvas full of many bright, colorful flowers that sparkled like ethereal gems in the soft sunlight. There were roses among the magical flowers. The petals were a beautiful patchwork of colors that made you feel good with sounds that sounded like an orchestra playing far away. Everyone who came into contact with lilies felt calm because of the beautiful, peaceful light they gave off. Daisy sparkled with a brightness that made me think of the stars that were spread out across the yard like constellations in the night sky. The most amazing thing about the garden, though, was that it could grant wishes. People used to say that if a certain seed was planted in rich soil and cared for with love and attention to detail, the garden would make the things that people wanted come true. That being said, there was a big disclaimer in this beautiful fabric of wishes. The wish had to come from a pure heart that didn't care about itself, without the evil shadow of greed. But the garden was the most beautiful because it had the power to make dreams and make them come true. According to a story, if a certain seed is placed and loved forever, the garden will work its magic to make one's wildest dreams come true. In the middle of this magical web of wants, though, one important factor jumped out. Many people thought that the wish had to come from a heart that was completely unselfish and free of any selfishness. Even with all of its beauty, the most amazing thing about the garden was that it could grant dreams. A common belief was that if a certain seed was planted and cared for with the greatest love and care, the garden would have to make plans for the person to achieve their deepest desires. That being said, there was a situation that made making wishes better, like a symphony with a small but powerful change. The desire had to come from a place where there was no selfishness or bad motives. Still, there was one thing about the garden that stood out: it had the power to make dreams come true. A lot of people thought that if they put a special seed and loved and cared for it, the garden would do its magic and make all their dreams come true. It was possible to make wishes come true, but there was a big catch that would test your goals. People were sure that the wish had to come from a heart that was free of the darkness of greed and full of the light of selflessness. While the garden, on the other hand, has a special quality that no other place has, it can fulfill wishes. Many people thought that if a certain, valuable seed was placed and lovingly cared for, the garden would work its magic and turn the threads of desire into real things. But somewhere in this country, wishes were needed in a very important way that made wishes themselves very important. It was made clear that the wish had to come from a heart that wasn't selfish, that it had to come from a heart that was pure and full of selfless purpose. One bright morning, Lily's mother carefully walked up to her daughter as the sun's golden rays danced through the big oak tree's lush leaves, casting beautiful shadows on their house. She held a tiny gem in the palm of her hand. It was a seed that looked like it was full of stardust. It was the seed from the magical garden from the story.
Download or read book The Complete Works of C H Spurgeon Volume 51 written by Spurgeon, Charles H. and published by Delmarva Publications, Inc.. This book was released on with total page 913 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 51 Sermons 2916-2967 Charles Spurgeon (19 June 1834 – 31 January 1892) is one of the church’s most famous preachers and Christianity’s foremost prolific writers. Called the “Prince of Preachers,” he was one of England's most notable ministers for most of the second half of the nineteenth century, and he still remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations today. His sermons have spread all over the world, and his many printed works have been cherished classics for decades. In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to more than 10 million people, often up to ten times each week. He was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years. He was an inexhaustible author of various kinds of works including sermons, commentaries, an autobiography, as well as books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns and more. Spurgeon was known to produce powerful sermons of penetrating thought and divine inspiration, and his oratory and writing skills held his audiences spellbound. Many Christians have discovered Spurgeon's messages to be among the best in Christian literature. Edward Walford wrote in Old and New London: Volume 6 (1878) quoting an article from the Times regarding one of Spurgeon’s meetings at Surrey: “Fancy a congregation consisting of 10,000 souls, streaming into the hall, mounting the galleries, humming, buzzing, and swarming—a mighty hive of bees—eager to secure at first the best places, and, at last, any place at all. After waiting more than half an hour—for if you wish to have a seat you must be there at least that space of time in advance—Mr. Spurgeon ascended his tribune. To the hum, and rush, and trampling of men, succeeded a low, concentrated thrill and murmur of devotion, which seemed to run at once, like an electric current, through the breast of every one present, and by this magnetic chain the preacher held us fast bound for about two hours. It is not my purpose to give a summary of his discourse. It is enough to say of his voice, that its power and volume are sufficient to reach every one in that vast assembly; of his language, that it is neither high-flown nor homely; of his style, that it is at times familiar, at times declamatory, but always happy, and often eloquent; of his doctrine, that neither the 'Calvinist' nor the 'Baptist' appears in the forefront of the battle which is waged by Mr. Spurgeon with relentless animosity, and with Gospel weapons, against irreligion, cant, hypocrisy, pride, and those secret bosom-sins which so easily beset a man in daily life; and to sum up all in a word, it is enough to say of the man himself, that he impresses you with a perfect conviction of his sincerity.” More than a hundred years after his death, Charles Spurgeon’s legacy continues to effectively inspire the church around the world. For this reason, Delmarva Publications has chosen to publish the complete works of Charles Spurgeon.
