Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keith Harris has to play straight fake boyfriend for the holidays. That would be easier if he weren't so broke and didn't owe money to his kickboxing trainer, who may or may not be a sociopath. Keith's best buddy Ryan is in financial straits too. Ryan needs cash for his divorce and wants to buy Christmas presents for his cute little nieces and nephews. But Keith's got a plan. A plan that has nothing to do with falling in love with your straight best friend, because that would be stupid, right? Hopefully, his brilliant plan won't bomb like all his other brilliant plans. Usually, Ryan goes along with Keith's crazy schemes, like selling sequin leggings for cats and dogs or promoting potato chip flavored toothpaste. But can Keith get Ryan to take off his clothes for the camera while hungry guys watch? Probably not. Having sex with another guy on live stream might be too gay even for a liberal like Ryan. Or is it? Author's note: Expect some naughty language, plenty of laughs, a little sex between friends, and a merry-ever-after.

When she returns to her small coastal hometown before Christmas to attend her sister’s wedding, she decides to settle there. Discovering a charming but run-down and spooky historic house, she decides to open a bookstore and sets about clearing it out when an earthquake occurs, knocking down part of the wall and revealing a burial crypt. Intrigued but cautious, she turns to the handsome carpenter she hired to help renovate the house. But Kate begins to sense that neither the carpenter nor the law nor any otherworldly power can help her reign in the evil that was released from the crypt. She will have to summon all of her supernatural power—and that of her six sisters—to destroy the sinister force that is casting a dark shadow over her hometown.

Download or read book O Come Emmanuel written by Alex Thompson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amidst the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, Advent is often treated as little more than an extended celebration of Christmas. In this short study, Alex Thompson examines the season of Advent as a distinct and important part of the Christian story as it looks forward both to Christ’s arrival and his return in glory. Using the rich imagery of the classic Advent hymn “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” he explores the way the New Testament draws on the Old Testament to express the longing for God’s deliverance in Jesus. Individual readers and small groups alike are invited to reclaim Advent as a Christian season that captures the longing of the church and invites them into deeper commitment to Jesus as Emmanuel, God with us.

When he finally scores a break, his faith that everything happens for a reason is restored. But the celebration doesn't last long. He wakes up in the park, bruised, battered, and minus one Hawkmobile. Enter 17-year-old Monica Dawsey, who soon begins monopolizing his time, much to the chagrin of his mother--not to mention hers. The hard-drinking Sam and his teenage girlfriend have a settling influence on each other, and they'll need it when life hands them a disappointment so bitter that even Sam can't reconcile it with his vision of fate.
