Wrath and Penance |
|
A Modern Day Story of Job |
| By:
Randy Davis
|
| Orphaned at a young age, Sam Nelson had strived his whole life to attain that which he wanted most; a family. And now husband to a loving wife and father to four young children, Sam was happy and content. It was the perfect life of a good man. Then one night Sam had a dream that exposed him to some of the great mysteries of heaven and though he couldn’t remember the dream after waking the next day, his rich full life would soon be over.
While on vacation with his family in San Antonio a few weeks later, the city is attacked by middle-eastern terrorists during the height of the annual week-long fiesta celebration. The terrorists explode four powerful bombs that kill tens of thousands attending the parades. As a result of the attack, Sam’s family is killed; he himself is gravely injured after selflessly trying to fight four heavily-armed men. Succumbing to his wounds, Sam lay in a coma for three long years. Upon awakening, the harsh reality of his loss pushes him to the brink of insanity and suicide. With the help of a kindly old man, Sam begins to heal only to find himself a pawn to the forces of good and evil. Learning that one of his children may have survived the attack, Sam with his new friend Ben, begin a search that reveals the wrathful nature of mankind as well as the humble penance that can also be ours. In an epic struggle between heaven and hell, the Creator calls upon Sam to fulfill a destiny he could never have imagined while Lucifer sees Sam as a tool that can finally provide him with the single victory over Heavenly Father he has always sought, and in the end, Sam may have no choice but to give Lucifer his prize.

| Sword of Fyre is the story of Gabryela, a girl who, when abandoned by her father, must uncover the truth of his disappearance and face down the fire within her. Gabryela is the daughter of the local blacksmith in the small town of Paelin. One night, her father leaves with the promise to return, but no sooner has he left before Gabby's house burns down and she finds herself hunted.

Armed only with her father's final gift to her, a sword he crafted that has strange power all on it's own, Gabby discovers a world of Ancient, immortal beings alongside the human world, a war that will define the fate of both worlds, and two kings that could hold her life in the balance. She learns her father wasn't the man she thought he was and with that knowledge comes massive burdens for her shoulders.

A Fright A Day |
| By:
Judith Thomson
|
| Sailing around some of the most isolated and treacherous coasts in the world is challenging enough for experienced mariners. When we set out from Sydney Harbour to sail 6,500 nautical miles around the north of Australia and down the wild west coast to Fremantle to make the most of our retirement, we were told we were marvellously brave or absolutely mad . . . we had no ocean sailing experience, we had not sailed through squalls, overnight or alone into unfamiliar anchorages.
By extreme good luck, we chose Aurora III, a small proven yacht that had circumnavigated the world. And with a brief study of coastal navigation and meteorology and advice soaked up from trusted sailors, we prepared our little ship and set out. One piece of advice became our mantra: “If the weather’s not right, don’t go.”
This is the story of our two-year voyage: the exhilaration, the frights, the friends we made along the way, our struggle to complete the undertaking, and the enormous sense of achievement. It is a story of a journey in our relationship, a move away from our habitual behaviour and the shift in our perspective of the world, the sea and wild places.
The book includes a list of favourite books for your onboard library and a check-list for choosing your ideal cruising yacht. Click here to see more from the author and listen to her speak about her voyage http://bookhabit.com/newsdetail.php?nid=31 Read more |

This House Divided |
|
A novel based on a true story of multiple personality disorder |
| By:
Sukie Lang & David Haggith
|
| In 1979 Sukie and Chris Lang adopted a baby girl in Seoul, Korea, not knowing she was probably one or two years older than her birth certificate stated. From the moment the couple first held the child, she was lethargic and weak, and showed signs of an eating disorder. As the years progressed, her behavior became more erratic and difficult to understand with wild stories of abuse that didn’t seem possible. Thinking their daughter was possessed, the Langs turned toward their church for help. After several failed exorcisms and suicide attempts, they took the child to a psychologist who diagnosed her as having Multiple Personality Disorder.
This House Divided is the narrative account of the Lang’s true experience. Unable to find a psychologist who could take her child on as a long-term client, Sukie became concerned that Karmie’s bewildering disorder would become even more complicated as she continued to develop new personalities. So, Sukie dropped her career in the financial world and pursued a Master of Arts in Counseling in order to become her own daughter’s counselor.
This House Divided is an intensely emotional mother-daughter drama about a family that cracks under stress, then pulls together under a new and unusual definition of family. It is a story of religious faith maturing from reliance on pat answers into a deep and healing strength. And, in the end, it is a story about healing from MPD. Read more |
