Download or read book The Powder Monkey written by George J. Galloway and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2001-01-10 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suicide has become almost an epidemic in the United States, with an average of 523 adults and teens committing suicide every week. Yet the issue of suicide is something that many Americans have not felt capable of handling. Still, the questions arise: What are the spiritual implications of suicide? Is suicide the unpardonable sin? What does God say on this subject? The answers to these questions and a host of related ones are found in this book. The purpose of this book is to share God's truth about suicide and to comfort the hearts of those who mourn. My prayer is that everyone who reads this book will do so with an open heart, and with the mindset to discover the truth. Additionally, my prayer is that people will find peace through the liberation of the Word and will help others who are weary and heavy laden to find it also. front cover design by a'lexa's designs

Download or read book Powder Burn written by Daniel Glick and published by Public Affairs. This book was released on 2009-02-23 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October, 1998 an arson caused $12 million in damage at Vail, the country's largest ski area. A shadowy radical environmental group called the Earth Liberation Front claimed credit for what the FBI called the costliest act of ecoterrorism in U.S. history. But as it turns out, credible suspects were everywhere, since Vail was owned by a New York investment firm that had alienated a wide swath of Colorado's high country residents."Who couldn't have done this?" wondered a local sheriff's investigator. More than a clever whodunit, Powder Burn scrapes away the glitz of America's premier ski destination to reveal a cautionary tale about runaway opulance and rapid change in the New West. As the Denver Post put it, "Vail is a microcosm of the disputes over growth raging across the Rockies, and Glick's take on the fire helps to fan the flames." Packed with odd characters and paranoia, with beautiful mountains and despicable actions, Powder Burn is about corporate greed, the environment, a small town and a mysterious unsolved crime. As Vail celebrates its fortieth anniversary with a full season of hoopla and self-promotion, this book makes compelling reading for skiers, true crime enthusiasts, or anyone interested in the environmental, social, and political issues raised by the evolution of the new West.
