Gayle Connolly's dream life on the West Coast is snatched from her in the blink of an eye, forcing her to face her own worst fear—because she didn't truly appreciate what she had, a senseless tragedy was somehow her fault. Now, she wakes up every single morning in her childhood bedroom in Michigan and wonders how she can even breathe, much less live a life devoid of everyone she loved. Noah Stokes' dream of taking over his family's landscaping business is dashed when the company goes bankrupt, thanks to his father's gambling debts. That hard reality sends him spiraling downward, where he discovers himself making money in ways he's ashamed to admit. When he leaves it all behind and returns home to Michigan, he's determined to regain some semblance of normalcy, not to mention his dignity. For a while, Gayle and Noah's smoking hot connection provides them both with distraction and solace. Until lust turns into something more—something they both resist for as long as they possibly can.

My early involvement into the art and culture groomed me for the involvement in writing this playbook. I have been a singer, actor, musician, songwriter, etc. I am an active senior citizen and the playbook has been my personal project. I wrote this playbook while I was working two jobs6 days and 5 nights weekly. Believe it or not, I wrote this back in 1972 and today it is very much still going on. I knew people involved whether young and old alike. I have seen the good and the bad. What I have written are the things that have gone on and still going on today, even more people involved from top to bottom. Parts of the playbook are realistic today because of others like me who are trying to reach out to save as many of our young people as possible. We are involved in youth programs so we have an edge in talking to them and to keep them aware of all the pitfalls. I hope to produce the play in our community with the youth group and others who may be interested. We want to let them know there is still hope and the younger people will have a big part to play while others like oversee their efforts. It wont be easy but we have to try to Grab Hold of the Wind.

Needing a job, Kyla takes a temporary position as nanny for Professor David Grant's two young boys at Wynnbury House, his mansion on the backwaters of the Mississippi. Before too long, it becomes apparent to her that the secluded mansion is a fertile ground for secrets. As the summer unfolds, Kyla opens up to the kind and sympathetic housekeeper, Susan Gordon, who helps her navigate her troubled feelings regarding her biological father's abandonment and other childhood hurts. A bond also begins to form between Kyla and Dr. Grant, who is adamant about the importance of a father's role in one's life, a lesson he learned the hard way.

However, when an accidental discovery by her two-year-old charge causes her to question who in the household she can trust, Kyla realizes that she must confront the lies that she has believed about God and turn to him for help.
Download or read book Returning to Tillich written by Russell Re Manning and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years after his death in 1965 the essays in this collection return to Paul Tillich to investigate his theology and its legacy, with a focus on contemporary British scholarship. Originating in a conference held in Oxford in 2014, the book contains 16 original contributions from a mixture of junior and more established scholars, most of whom have a connection to Britain. The contributions are diverse, but four themes emerge throughout the volume. Several essays are concerning with a characterisation of Tillich's theology. In dialogue with recent emphases on the radical Tillich, some essays suggest a more conservative estimation of Tillich's theology, rooted in the Idealist and classical Christian platonic traditions, whilst in constant engagement with changing existential situations. Secondly, and perhaps reflecting the context of religious diversity and theories of religious pluralism in Britain, many essays engage Tillich's approach to non-Christian religions. Thirdly, some essays address the importance of existentialist philosophy for Tillich, notably via an engagement with Sartre. Finally, a number of essays take up the diagnostic potential of Tillich's theology as a resource for engaging contemporary challenges.
