Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
This delightful and enchanting story, told with heart and humor, is about a friendship and a journey that inspires a human to step up and transform his life – and about an angel earning his wings back. While Ben learns and applies the ten simple principles the angel is reviewing, he soon learns to create freedom for himself and others. He rediscovers life’s larger meaning, his true purpose, and the path to real happiness. Ben’s life has become meaningless. His job is at risk, his wife left him and he feels like he has no purpose and nothing to look forward to. He’s just making it through every strenuous day. But then he meets an angel - a fallen angel. The angel lost his wings and now needs to review ten lessons to be invited back into heaven. Ben decides to help his new friend with his tasks. Together they embark on a journey that would change their worlds forever! “Ms Lang provides a how-to guide for Creating Heaven on Earth by incorporating her Ten Principles into an easy-to read novella. Ben’s story portrays our own flaws that cause our suffering and self-defeating behaviors. Ben’s angel, Daniel, provides him (and the reader) effective cognitive and behavioral strategies all with a strong spiritual underpinning. Closer to Heaven is worth years of therapy.” Thomas Flanagan, M.D., board certified Psychiatrist, Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry

No Telephone to Heaven

Pages : 225
Book Description
A brilliant Jamaican-American writer takes on the themes of colonialism, race, myth, and political awakening. Originally published in 1987, this critically acclaimed novel is the continuation of the story that began in Abeng following Clare Savage, a mixed-race woman who returns to her Jamaican homeland after years away. In this deeply poetic novel, Clare must make sense of her middle-class childhood memories in contrast with another side of Jamaica which she is only now beginning to see: one of extreme poverty. And Jamaica—almost a character in the book—comes to life with its extraordinary beauty, coexisting with deep human tragedy. Through the course of the book, Clare sees the violence that rises out of extreme oppression, the split loyalties of a colonized person, and what it means to be neither white nor Black in that environment. The result is a deeply moving, canonical work.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 740
Book Description
Hyperinflation, massive unemployment and chronic fuel shortages, which make black market petrol the most valuable commodity in the land, should be enough to kill Zimbabwes government stone dead. However, its redoubtable president, Robert Mugabe, is not so easily daunted, especially since he has the police, the army, and the fearsome Green Bombers, national service men and women, at his disposal. Ndlovu, a menial worker in a funeral parlour, is an ordinary man with an extraordinary plan who discovers how to make the moribund economy and death work for him. His motley crew of cohorts and hangers-on help him borrow bodies from his work, so they can impersonate bereaved relatives unable to afford the services of undertakers who are transporting their deceased loved ones to remote rural homes. As do-it-yourself undertakers, this entitles them to as much petrol as they need, which they sell on the black market. Ndlovus scheme never runs smoothly, especially since he enlists the support of mad Archie, resident lunatic and notorious dissident. Inevitably, Ndlovu and his gang fall foul of the state security apparatus, and they are victimised by a particularly powerful member of the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) who wants in on their scheme. It is only a matter of time before political turmoil and the absurdity of the everyday life catches up with them.

Languages : en
Pages : 717
Book Description
In a world no longer simple with clear enemies and ready strategies to protect oneself, the aging warriors from the Vietnam era are forced to once again fight for their lives. This time, it's not against a peasant force in the steamy jungles of Vietnam defending their homeland. This time they find themselves under attack in the forests of their own homeland by a fanatical force of Jihadists dedicated to the destruction of America itself. In addition o being vastly outnumbered and aging, the Americans have a unique disadvantage: they are all amputees. The only advantage that the Americans have is now it's their homeland that they are defending. To the end, it's not clear whether or not that and the few friendlies that are able to be recruited to the cause will be enough to prevail over their adversaries. The Vietnam Vets Amputee Group is both inspirational and an ode to those brave soldiers that fought not so long ago. They finally might be accorded the respect that they deserve, perhaps posthumously, from a changed and grateful nation.
