Book Description
Welcome to the world of Gary Yordon—former politician, part-time television host, and accidental newspaper columnist. When Yordon's world began giving him stories too good not to immortalize, he sent one to a friend at a newspaper. Two years and seventy-five columns later, he had a rabidly loyal readership. Their persistent requests led to this collection. There is nothing above Yordon's satire, including his lack of home repair skills, addiction to Steven Seagal movies, and kidney stone intolerance. (Okay, maybe Yordon is normal in that regard.) He admits to actively resisting the temptation to write excessively about his mother, who is "a living, breathing, Neil Simon play." "My ninety-year-old mother is a fierce shopper. Put a parachute on sale and Mom's all over it because it's not about need, it's about price. She'd buy a show pony to get a free harness. She passed the shopping gene to me. If I hear the phrase 'as seen on TV,' I know I'm in trouble. At 3 a.m., the Leopard Print Cat Tunnel for $19.95 is too good to pass up. Now all I need is a cat." Tender moments are tucked away in this book too, especially those related to Yordon's relationship with his profoundly challenged son, Zachary. Learn more about Gary Yordon at ZPRgroup.com.

God's Outrageous Claims
Author: Lee Strobel
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310297168
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
God's astounding claims about himself and his work on our behalf are embedded throughout the pages of Scripture. He sees potential in us that we don't see in our wildest dreams. He sees qualities that we don't think we can ever achieve. He has faith in us that we lack in ourselves. But when we know and fully understand what He has promised, we are liberated to grow in virtue, live out our faith as an adventure, relate to others with authenticity, earn a living with integrity, and make a difference in our culture--all through his power. Lee Strobel's insights into the benefits of living as a fully devoted follower of Christ are refreshing and powerfully relevant. Using true stories, including his own, he shows that Christianity really works, that we really can live transformed, authentic, and effective lives--and that God's promises and power are very real and very true.

What If—An Anthology of 13 Short Stories
Author: Kerry ONeal
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1984521411
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 648
Book Description
This book asks the simple question of what if. The answer is expressed in thirteen short stories where ONeal pushes the limits of imaginationfrom a man who wakes up knowing the future date of his death, to a little girls love for her cat that uses each of its nine lives in order to protect her from danger, to an evil ghost of a six-year-old girl trying to return to life by stealing the soul and the body of another six-year-old girl. With the combination of fantasy, the paranormal, ghosts, sci-fi horror, and the unexplained, ONeals characteristic dark humor and savory taste for the macabre and the unknown extends the bounds of the predictable and brings the reader to the brink of sanity and insanity, loneliness and friendship, and into the horrors of human and inhuman existence. Fans of Dean Koonce, Stephen King, Amazing Tales, and The Twilight Zone will thoroughly enjoy this anthology of unique stories that will be sure to leave you breathless. What If commemorates the mysteries of the world and the unexplained that encompasses each of us and articulates how fast time flies. Never forget that time is the most valuable thing we can spend, ONeal says, so spend it wisely and dont throw it away.

Goddesses for Every Day

Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1577319508
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
Throughout time, people have turned to goddesses as symbols of what they seek -- from abundance to healing, from protection to passion. Building on the resurgence of interest in the Divine Feminine, Julie Loar presents the qualities and origins of an international array of these deities, along with powerful suggestions for putting their attributes to practical use. In a daily-reflection format, she gracefully aligns the goddesses with the cycles of nature and the signs of the zodiac. If you are struggling to attain a goal, call on the Nepalese goddess Chomolungma, as the sherpas climbing Mount Everest have done for generations. Or, for good luck, invoke the Roman goddess Fortuna, the inspiration behind gambling's wheel of fortune. With 366 goddesses to choose from, you will find a deity to call upon for every aspiration and need.
