Book Description
One mother's son is killed in a tragic accident; another's daughter murders two people in a wild rage. From these bitter facts, Beverly Lowry--the first child's mother and an acclaimed novelist--has fashioned a memoir in which the objectivity of true-crime reportage resonates with acute feeling and even, ultimately, with redemption. In Houston, in the early morning hours of June 13, 1983, twenty-three-year-old Karla Faye Tucker showed up with two friends at the apartment of a man they hated, Jerry Lynn Dean. Fired by a lost weekend of drugs and bravado, during which their grievances against Jerry Lynn became magnified out of all proportion, they had it in mind to steal motorcycle parts. Maybe to scare him a little. But by the time they left, both Dean and his chance, one-night companion had been murdered with such thorough wickedness as to ensure Karla's place among the handful of young white women on Death Row in this country. The next fall, outside of Austin, Beverly Lowry's son Peter, after an increasingly troubled adolescence, was back in high school and back living at home when he was killed--an unsolved hit-and-run. He was eighteen. The despair that descended into Lowry's life seemed without end, but eventually and almost inevitably she became obsessed by the beautiful young killer whose photograph she'd seen in a Houston newspaper. "If Peter hadn't been killed," she writes, "I would not have made that first trip up to see Karla Faye." In Crossed Over, Beverly Lowry reveals how Tucker, a full-time addict and part-time prostitute, had been dealt this fate as a child--only to pursue it relentlessly herself in Houston's violent subculture of bikers and outlaws. Working backward from the murders, Lowry delves into character and motive, looking for reasons that might explain these unthinkable acts. But this is also an account of the unlikely and powerful friendship between a writer--a mother--coming to terms with her loss and a young woman who, even under the sentence of death, begins the life she'd never before had a chance to lead. Crossed Over is a story of crime and punishment, but more importantly it explores the connection between grief and hope, and between different kinds of victims. In the end, what Beverly Lowry uncovers is the unexpected ability of life, however blighted the circumstances, to assert its best, most urgent claim upon us.

Book Description
This book is the story of being married to an unbeliever. It is the story of a wifes forty-year prayer journey, praying for her husbands salvation, her lifelong struggles in the marriage, and remaining faithful in prayer. It is the story of Gods faithfulness to hear and answer prayer in His time. It is the story of a God who loves without measure and walks with us when in the furnace of affliction. It is the story of an ordinary woman with a tenacious determination to not give up on her God-given assignment to pray. It is the story of faith rewarded, missions accomplished, and the power of prayer. It is the story of how God gives joy for our journeys and grace as we wait upon Him. The vision is yet for the appointed time: It hastens towards the goal, and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it. Habakkuk 2:3

Book Description
The first edition of Design and Analysis of Cross-Over Trials quickly became the standard reference on the subject and has remained so for more than 12 years. In that time, however, the use of cross-over trials has grown rapidly, particularly in the pharmaceutical arena, and researchers have made a number of advances in both the theory and methods applicable to these trials. Completely revised and updated, the long-awaited second edition of this classic text retains its predecessor's careful balance of theory and practice while incorporating new approaches, more data sets, and a broader scope. Enhancements in the second edition include: A new chapter on bioequivalence Recently developed methods for analyzing longitudinal continuous and categorical data Real-world examples using the SAS system A comprehensive catalog of designs, datasets, and SAS programs available on a companion Web site at www.crcpress.com The authors' exposition gives a clear, unified account of the design and analysis of cross-over trials from a statistical perspective along with their methodological underpinnings. With SAS programs and a thorough treatment of design issues, Design and Analysis of Cross-Over Trials, Second Edition sets a new standard for texts in this area and undoubtedly will be of direct practical value for years to come.

Book Description
Crossover to the Cross was a labor of love as it represents a great passion of Rev. Dr. Hasbani; reaching the lost. Evangelizing to Shia Muslims in the US and the world was the topic of his Doctorate in Ministry dissertation, which involved countless hours of reading similar books, research, interviews and self-examination. Crossover to the Cross was written to help Christians recognize God’s heart for Muslims and to help overcome the personal, spiritual, political and cultural obstacles that are preventing much of the Western Church from effectively leading Muslims to the cross of Jesus, with a special emphasis on the Shia Muslims who are often feared and misunderstood, and thus, ignored. Crossover to the Cross is comprised of a collection of four smaller books, each covering unique, but related content, which together create a book for Christians to understand the history, culture, background and beliefs of Shia Muslims. Each chapter is followed by a group discussion with questions to provoke thought and action. The content can be easily modified for reaching all Muslims and for general evangelism. Crossover to the Cross is a practical tool that can be used in a small or large group setting to train and mobilize Christians to engage in missions to Muslims. And to do so boldly, in love and without fear, clarifying any misconceptions of the cross of Jesus Christ.

Book Description
If you could see them all, there would be ghosts everywhere you look--in homes, schools, churches, cemeteries, hotels, hospitals, and even city streets. Where there have been living people there is lingering dead as well. Yes, far more cross over to the Other Side after they pass away, but if you think about it, there have been so many people on Earth since modern man emerged, that there are a lot of wandering souls as well. In this book, I want to cover the various ghosts I've felt, seen, interacted with, and helped over the years. We'll also look at the different types of spirits, why they tend to stick around, how they contact us, imaginary friends, haunted people, how to know if you're house is haunted, and more. I'll also show you ways to help these stuck entities go to The Light or make them leave your home.
