Untouched Innocence
Author: Christine Adrow
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662430914
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
We have heard some ministers say that it is your belief that will send you to hell and not your sins, and this can be misleading. Because some of you might be deceived into thinking that you can keep sinning as long as you believe there is a God. Not only are some of you living your lives to reflect that kind of thinking, you are expressing it from your mouth. If one does not repent and remove from him his sins, he does not profit his soul any good thing. Remember, repenting is part of the process to become sanctified. All sins, big and small, shall be repented of and forgiven. And remember also, have you forgiven so that your sins can be forgiven you also? It all works together for your salvation to be intact. If you die with any of these sins still part of you, which you have not bothered to repent off, my Bible tells me that you cannot enter the kingdom of God. Think about this, if you really believe there is a God, and there is, you are going to come to a point where you are going to not want to sin before Him and get right with Him. You’re going to judge your own self, because your conscience is going to weigh you down. Don’t focus on the sugarcoated babblings of man and his weak human wisdom, but do focus on the precious bloodshed mercy of Jesus. Those sins that yield short-lived pleasure are only temporary and lead directly to the gates of hell, but your salvation leads directly to Jesus through eternity. Be on the safe side; just repent and get right with God. It is the only way! This book was written for personal enrichment and Christian training. It gives the reader clear, easy instructions and Scripture references for the reader to research. This book appeals to young people to make that change in their lives that Jesus is calling for. There is also a worksheet to help the reader interact with the book. If you would like to give me your thoughts about the book and whether it answered any of your concerns, send them at [email protected].

Mariana's Letters
Author: Mariana de Saint Phalle
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 145359275X
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
"Mariana's Letter" is a cookbook written as you would write a note to a friend. This book comes from the many newsletters I wrote over the years. The recipes come from many sources but are mainly French and American. I have tried to stay away from recipes that have too many or hard to find ingredients or require too much to be done at the last minute. Recipes are often accompanied by stories, true or fictional. You do not have to be a cook to enjoy reading this book - only to enjoy the thought of a good meal and listening to a good story.I have always followed the rule that if one can not taste the recipe by reading it, it is better to discard it for one that tastes good in your head. I have spent some time in France as well as Washington, D.C., New York City and the Rangeley Lakes of Northwestern Maine and I come from a family of writers who loved to cook and tell stories

Hearts of Gold
Author: Clive Sinclair
Publisher: Halban
ISBN: 1905559720
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Tales of America, adultery, football, incest, love, paranoia, sadism and Zionism.... Wickedly funny these stories may be, but heartless they are not. Disturbing images abound; like the loving family that feasts upon living butterflies; and other images that connect the themes with places deeper than the mind. The narrators are an extraordinary group: a berserk psychiatrist, a giraffe, a man with an invisible creature on his back, a Jewish private eye, a communist with a bowel fixation, and various other disillusioned souls. None the less, each story is lucid, concisely written and has a strong sense of location. In The Promised Land a diaspora Jew travels to Israel determined to plant his seed, only to find himself excluded from his erotic paradise. In Le Docteur Enchaîné, a London psychiatrist decides that he can only find satisfaction with a dumb woman and takes the remedy into his own hands. In The Luftmensh, Joshua Smolinsky, trailing a missing writer to New Orleans, becomes involved with ghosts from American and Jewish history. In A Moment of Happiness a Czech hypochondriac manipulates two tourists into providing him with 'that single 1/60th of a second when I am not afraid'.... Clive Sinclair has created a wryly alluring world in which the neurotics, the outsiders, become the spokesmen best equipped to deal with the hardness at its core. Like the surprising artichoke in the title piece, his stories have hearts of gold. "I found Hearts of Gold quite wonderful ... And all this despite my immense dislike for football, cunts and national movements of any kind. So it had to be a very good book ... and it was." Sir Angus Wilson "Evil, entertaining little fictions... Clive Sinclair is fluent, inventive, linguistically gifted" Victoria Glendinning, Sunday Times "Extremely sexy, wry, likeable, tortured, these stories crackle with talent" Jacky Gillott, The Times "Fireworks of all kinds explode in Clive Sinclair's first collection of short stories .... Hearts of Gold is remarkable" John Mellors, Listener
