I’m John Taylor, a PI with a knack for finding things, helping those the Nightside has chewed up and is about to spit out. All things considered, my life lately had been bright, even in this shadowy place. So it was only a matter of time before everything hit the fan.

An important job. His.
Download or read book The Good The Bad And the Godly written by Gregory A. Preseau and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-06 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Good, The Bad and The Godly explores marriages that dealt with love, hate, murder, deceit, adultery, sin and repentance. From Adam to Herod, we see the entire spectrum of The Good, The Bad and The Godly. Each marriage becomes a study in itself and reveals to us the importance of putting God at the front of our marriages. Some of our conclusions may surprise you and even change the way you view some of the Biblical marriages. The Good, The Bad and The Godly presents a study of the more notable marriages recorded in the Bible. Instead of expounding on a topic of the authors' choosing, this book seeks to explore the principles revealed in these marriages. Some marriages face similar issues yet the way they dealt with those issues was very different. These Biblical marriages are real life examples for our own marriages. William A. Hogan is a native of Florida. He received his Doctor of Ministry degree from Luther Rice Seminary. After serving honorably for the United States Marine Corp, he became an intern architect. He has served in several pastoral staff positions. He is a former member of the Florida Association of Christian Counselors and Therapists, and the American Association of Christian Counselors. He has authored two books: Handbook for Volunteer Workers in the Church, Introduction to Basic Principles of Biblical Counseling. His wife of 41 years is Bobbie Jo Welch. They have two children and four grandchildren. Gregory A. Preseau is also a Florida native. He attended Florida State University and graduated in 1991 with a BA degree in Business Management.

Download or read book The Good the Bad and the Just written by Riël Vermunt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on multidisciplinary findings and ideas, this book discusses fair allocation of social resources, such as goods, services and information, in a novel and integrated way. The role of the essential features of allocation behavior: motivation, cognition and emotion, as well as morality and reactions to perceived unfairness are examined in the newly developed Justice Model. The author offers explanations as to why, how and to what extent, people, in an effort to attain justice, allocate social resources between self and others and among others. It is held that the allocation event, featuring actor, recipient and observer, as well as the resources to be allocated by an actor, can function as a guideline for the essentials of fair behavior. The work explores the conditions under which an actor may deviate from a just division of social resources thus instigating a reaction from recipients and observers. The study covers various levels of analysis ranging from the intra-personal to the societal. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of crime, law, justice, public policy and governance.
Download or read book The Good the Bad the Difference written by Randy Cohen and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2003-03-25 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The man behind the New York Times Magazine’s immensely popular column “The Ethicist”–syndicated in newspapers across the United States and Canada as “Everyday Ethics”–casts an eye on today’s manners and mores with a provocative, thematic collection of advice on how to be good in the real world. Every week in his column on ethics, Randy Cohen takes on conundrums presented in letters from perplexed people who want to do the right thing (or hope to get away with doing the wrong thing), and responds with a skillful blend of moral authority and humor. Cohen’s wisdom and witticisms have now been collected in The Good, the Bad & the Difference, a collection of his columns as wise and funny as a combination of “Dear Abby,” Plato, and Mel Brooks. The columns are supplemented with second thoughts on (and sometimes complete reversals of) his original replies, follow-up notes on how his advice affected the actions of various letter writers, reactions from readers both pro and con, and observations from such “guest ethicists” as David Eggers and the author’s mom. Each chapter also features an “Ethics Pop Quiz,” and readers will be invited to post their answers on the book’s Web site. The best of them will appear in a future paperback edition of the book. The Good, the Bad & the Difference is divided into seven sections: •Civic Life (what we do in public) •Family Life (what we do at home) •Social Life (what we do in other people’s homes) •Commercial Life (what we do in situations where money is a factor) •Medical Life (the rights and obligations of patients and caregivers) •Work Life (ethics for the professional sphere) •School Life (moral questions from and about kids) Each section provides a window into how we live today, shedding light on the ways in which a more ethical approach to the decisions we make, and to our daily behavior, can make a big difference in how we feel about ourselves tomorrow.

And that’s not all: someone has stolen her personal diary, which holds secrets that could devastate her family. Daphne has always harbored private feelings for the man her family scorns...though perhaps striking a bargain with the handsome Duke will solve both their problems? Paul, long considered good for nothing, aims to open a hospital to honor his brother and restore his reputation. So when a conflict over the land brings him straight into Daphne’s life, they make a deal: He will help her find her diary if Daphne can change her family’s opinion of him. But before he can win her family’s affection, he has to win hers first. Maybe love was the answer to their family feud all along?

Download or read book The Good the Bad and the Ugly written by Ray Hartley and published by Pan Macmillan South africa. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa is facing an extraordinary ‘polycrisis’. The dimensions of this crisis include an energy collapse; a failing rail network; weak education outcomes; an interrupted water supply; and the effects of decades of endemic corruption that have brought much of government to a halt. But the country also has incredible assets: a wealth of sought-after minerals; an enviable Constitution that protects rights and advocates social inclusion; an advanced financial and services sector; thriving agricultural and auto industries that compete with the best in the world; a prosecution service that is rapidly rebuilding; and, most of all, strong-willed people determined to make life better through hard work, entrepreneurship and hustling. The choice is stark: we either build on the positives and take the country forward or we will be overwhelmed by the negatives and end up as another Zimbabwe or Venezuela. We have the people, the policies and the resources. What is missing is the political will to make the difficult choices that will save South Africa from disaster. This book takes you on a journey that ends with one of three possible future scenarios: the Good, the Bad or the Ugly. Compiled by The Brenthurst Foundation and In Transformation Initiative, and workshopped with high-powered leaders in business and politics, the scenarios have stimulated intense public interest as the country grapples with its mounting problems. The good news is that there is a clear road towards a positive future. It will take courageous leadership and smart thinking to get there, but the ‘Good’ scenario is tantalisingly within grasp.
