Download or read book Ruins written by Patricia Gangi and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHE HATES GOD BUT MUST FORGIVE HIM IF SHE'S TO LOVE AGAIN. Recently widowed biblical scholar Cass Stevens has come to the Holy Land to complete her manuscript about the Apostle James, brother of Jesus. She also hopes to shed the hypocrisy she's been living with since the deaths of her husband and infant daughter. What's not on her agenda is falling in love again. While on an archaeological dig in Pella, Jordan, however, she falls in love with the brilliant director of the dig, Jed McIntyre. But her passion for Jed threatens the "safe" life she's built for herself, and to love Jed fully, she must forgive God for the tragedy that took her loved ones from her, something Cass is not willing to do. Convinced that a nearby ancient monastery holds long-lost letters written by a scribe who traveled with the Apostle James, Cass closets herself in their dusty archives-away from Jed and the demands of his love, until she realizes she needs his help to translate something she's stumbled upon-a letter more stunning and potentially disruptive to Holy Mother Church than the letters she has been searching for. But there are two people close to Cass who are determined that her discovery never sees the light of day and who will go to any lengths to prevent her from making it public. RUINS is a story of love and loss, intrigue and redemption.
Download or read book A Carnival of Snackery written by David Sedaris and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice There’s no right way to keep a diary, but if there’s an entertaining way, David Sedaris seems to have mastered it. If it’s navel-gazing you’re after, you’ve come to the wrong place; ditto treacly self-examination. Rather, his observations turn outward: a fight between two men on a bus, a fight between two men on the street, pedestrians being whacked over the head or gathering to watch as a man considers leaping to his death. There’s a dirty joke shared at a book signing, then a dirtier one told at a dinner party—lots of jokes here. Plenty of laughs. These diaries remind you that you once really hated George W. Bush, and that not too long ago, Donald Trump was just a harmless laughingstock, at least on French TV. Time marches on, and Sedaris, at his desk or on planes, in hotel dining rooms and odd Japanese inns, records it. The entries here reflect an ever-changing background—new administrations, new restrictions on speech and conduct. What you can say at the start of the book, you can’t by the end. At its best, A Carnival of Snackery is a sort of sampler: the bitter and the sweet. Some entries are just what you wanted. Others you might want to spit discreetly into a napkin.

Loaded with practical advice and step-by-step guidance, Organic Gardening for Everyone takes a very personal and friendly approach to a subject that can be intimidating. It is a first-class primer on organic vegetable gardening, and an inspirational story about how anyone can balance the rigors of gardening with the demands of a modern, family-oriented lifestyle. In 2012, a California mom decided to start an organic vegetable garden. But she went about it in an unusual way: she crowdsourced it by launching a YouTube channel under the name "CaliKim" and asking for help. And then she started planting. As questions came up, she turned to her viewers and subscribers and they replied with answers and advice. As she learned, her garden grew successfully—even in the hot, harsh California climate. Her expertise also grew, and now she answers many more questions than she asks and has become a very accomplished home gardener. And CaliKim has a great story to tell: growing healthy organic vegetables for your family is not difficult, even for today’s time-challenged lifestyles. She provides complete step-by-step information on growing the most popular edibles organically, and also gives sound advice on how to take on the challenges of balancing a hectic lifestyle with successful growing—and how to involve the whole family in the process. You'll be rewarded for your effort every time you place a plate of natural, organic vegetables on the family dinner table knowing exactly what they are, what is in them, and where they came from.
Download or read book Crime Detector written by Robert F. Lovelace and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It appears to me that crime, like time, is continual. The reason I say this is that God has made my brain is such a way that when a crime is committed within the grasp of myself I suffer an enormous head pain until it is completed or stopped. I seemed to have pain so much here lately is why I feel that crime is on the upturn. This has been going all my life with my brain acting like this. There has been times when I suffered pain and it turned out to be crimes where people were killed but there was not enough evidence available in my vision to identify the perpetrators. This information came from the sheriff later and I presumed it was true. DNA and other methods he said were used to come up with the one who committed the crime. Many have not been apprehended so I had it in my mind that I would try to use that mystic part of my brain to capture them or at least locate them.
Download or read book Pearline s Pretty Good Year written by Travis Gibson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-03-15 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pearline LaWanda Nicolls (Mrs. Oscar Wayne Nicolls) will tell you that she is not the town busy-body. As she tells the girls at the Curly Q, with everything she has to do she certainly has no time for idleness or gossiping. She works part time at the Stop N Buy and helps her friend, Carmella, clean houses. The rest of her time is spent trying to take care of her own house and family and helping her husband – a proud twenty year employee at the city sanitation plant - try to make ends meet and keep the wolves from the door. Of course, she also must contend with an on-going rivalry with an uppity sister, a son who is in danger of becoming religious and thirteen large dogs, and the rigors of being a volunteer in an election campaign. Then there is the fact that her mamma suddenly goes missing and then reappears with information that Pearline could well do without. Add this to the fact that Pearline finds herself deeply involved in the events surrounding the murder of a popular high school coach and the subsequent trial of the accused killer, and an ordinary year for Pearline becomes quite unforgettable.
Download or read book When I Look Up written by Ron Gallo and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Christian books have a problem. For they speak from an “adult perspective”, and not a child’s. They leave out, the most important aspect of the foundation when walking with God, and that is the child. They say. do ABCDE, to get a better walk with God. That’s fine, but we forget about the growth of the child and there characteristics, is the Christian life template for an adult to look at and learn from. This is the reason why children come before adults; it’s so we can see who God sees. God doesn’t see us as we see each other as adults, in arrogance. God doesn’t care about your social status, or you can have more degrees than a thermometer, you are his child. God sees adults as tall children. So now let’s look deeper into a child’s life, and how it relates to Gods foundation... the family. Understanding the child, then you will understand yourself, and what God wants from us as adults. Looking at the genesis of a child we can see many attributes and characteristics of a child that God wants to see in us. We can shadow, and be a reflection of “childlike”, not childish as Jesus said in the book of Mathew. Jesus clearly states ‘unless you’re like a child, you shall not enter....’ Right off the bat, Jesus is drawing the line in the sand. Children have many characteristics that we miss as adults, and forget that we went through these same characteristics ourselves. From looking up, having child like faith, being able to be led, humility, believability, no pride or self righteousness etc. This fascinating book being different, will enhance any reader/parent to take a stronger look at their own Christian life, and check off the boxes to see if there in alignment with Gods standards. There a chapter on being blind when your awake, yet we trust him in sleep, and other great gems of wisdom.
