Download or read book Heavenly Hoboes written by Bob BREWER and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When God decides it's time to present His creation with another miracle, Host, the superintendant of all things heavenly, puts in his request to handle the operation on a personal level. God approves but Gabriel isn't too sure about it. Host hasn't worked in the field in a very long time, and given that God has selected two hard drinking hoboes to provide the earthly assistance in the matter, Gabriel thinks it might be a bit much for his supervisor to control. Of course, Gabriel can't overrule God's decision but that doesn't stop him from butting in every once in a while. Between Gabriel's heckling and Abe and Shorty's imbibing, Host has his hands full as he goes about getting everything set up for the big event, but he's loving it. If everything goes according to Host's plans and Gabriel lets him get on with it, the miracle will turn the lives of the hoboes upside down and touch the world in ways you would never expect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My first book was, The Life and times of the Rich Hobo. This book: Living the Dream, is an extension of the last book. I picked the name Living the Dream. In all of my books, I say that all the time. Some days, I feel like I am living the dream. I wrote the book because I had so many stories to tell everyone, so many things I have done, places I have seen, and people I have met over the years. I am hoping and praying that my book will help people get closer to God. I get to share my experiences, strengths, and hope with my readers. I get to write about my Christian walk with God. One day at a time, how I have been in recovery for thirty-two years.There are some crazy stories. I want to tell people about God, and how He has changed my life. How God takes care of me so much. I get to write about His love and grace in my life. A lot of stories of the wacky things I have done. The miracles I have seen on the streets. Also the miracles I have seen in Church. My traveling stories, freight train hoping, street living, I want to let people know the stories of street living. Living with so much pain, off and on the streets. My mental and physical problems, I deal with daily. The things that haunt me.In my book, I want to let people know about my business and my daily struggles. How I get treated selling my wares. I also write about how many nice people have blessed me, writing about me, being a hobo at heart. I put a God story in each chapter, or I write it at the end of the chapter. I really enjoy telling and writing stories. That is what, living the dream all about. Loving what I do for a living. Getting to do what I want when I want to. Life is a vacation. I get to tell stories of the angels that are watching over me. How a man can live off of God's blessing, and his wits. Telling stories of how much I love trains, even when I lived on the streets. I told people I was living the dream. God bless you. Enjoy. See you down the road.

Years later, she finds herself in an academic position in a white-collar world “where the clothes are clean but the politics are dirty.” She questions her own stereotypes about her neighbors and gradually begins to question her life path.

Download or read book The Polls of Heaven written by C. Paul Owens and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Polls of Heaven By: C. Paul Owens After Clint Greene sold his weekly newspaper in Ohio following the death of his wife, he returned to his family home in the Cumberland Mountains of Kentucky overlooking an unnamed town (for obvious reasons), the setting for a large part of our story. Soon after his return, Clint went down the hill to the business person’s morning coffee hour in the back of the town’s only drug store. Clint was looking for old friends who might still be alive, finding a few, very few. The coffee “club” was now a debate hour for these intellectuals who felt their purpose was to solve the world’s problems. Today it was climate change, possibly meaning the end of it all. There was also a belief that TV and a cynicism of the age had brought about a dramatic loosening of morals, especially among the young. The coffee clubbers had declared they no longer had a leader to guide them out of their troubles and threats of world’s end. Clint with two others who were new to him, with all the playfulness the situation called for, began a guessing game of who might be reincarnated to lead us out of our problems. This resulted in jokes of who among them was ready to go to Heaven and recruit this leader. The three coffee club instigators decided to form OMEN, Old Men to save Earth’s Neighborhoods. The three were veterans of three wars. The local editor and his woman were in the Battle of Chicago, rebels of the post-war rebellion against their society. Clint himself was a Marine in the Southwest Pacific jungles and the third began his war against his native Russia. He went over to the Allies as a fighter against the communists who had taken over his Mother Russia and his people. As a Cossack, the Russian’s tribe had supported the Tsars for four hundred years. After the war he’d found a girl in Britain, only learning later that she had borne him a son. He had been forced to leave to pursue and kill a fellow Cossack. The man had betrayed his people to Stalin, his identification of those fellow soldiers resulting in their deaths. The pursuit had led him to find a home in the Kentucky hills. After an accident and monthlong coma, Clint had found himself in Heaven as chairman of a committee to present the proposal before the Heaven Senate. His “return” had prompted him to visit an old Cherokee friend in search of his soul. Three men and their women, two weddings, a father’s search for his son and a question over the fate of OMEN’s future all figure in the story.

Book excerpt: Those who tried never returned, and those who didn't, always wondered what they were missing by not attempting the perilous journey to 'Heaven'. The official designation of the giant anti-gravity floating disc was 'International Land Extension U.S.23'. But to the people living like sardines in the fam-apts and dormitories on the ground below, it was known as 'Heaven'. Government regulations meant that it was almost impossible for a human being to get to 'Heaven' - almost, but no quite, as Vic Sterling found out when he began to hunt for his missing half-brother Johnny Considine. For Johnny, along with over a hundred other rebels, had decided they could no longer stand the living conditions on Earth and had hitched a ride to 'Heaven', a 'Heaven' full of unexpected dangers for Vic when he decided to follow.
