Now an original series on Hulu! YOU NEVER FORGET YOUR WORST. “A twisted modern love story” (Parade), Tell Me Lies is a sexy, thrilling novel about that one person who still haunts you—the other one. The wrong one. The one you couldn’t let go of. The one you’ll never forget. Lucy Albright is far from her Long Island upbringing when she arrives on the campus of her small California college and happy to be hundreds of miles from her mother—whom she’s never forgiven for an act of betrayal in her early teen years. Quickly grasping at her fresh start, Lucy embraces college life and all it has to offer. And then she meets Stephen DeMarco. Charming. Attractive. Complicated. Devastating. Confident and cocksure, Stephen sees something in Lucy that no one else has, and she’s quickly seduced by this vision of herself, and the sense of possibility that his attention brings her. Meanwhile, Stephen is determined to forget an incident buried in his past that, if exposed, could ruin him, and his single-minded drive for success extends to winning, and keeping, Lucy’s heart. Lucy knows there’s something about Stephen that isn’t to be trusted. Stephen knows Lucy can’t tear herself away. And their addicting entanglement will have consequences they never could have imagined. Alternating between Lucy’s and Stephen’s voices, Tell Me Lies follows their connection through college and post-college life in New York City. “Readers will be enraptured” (Booklist) by the “unforgettable beauties in this very sexy story” (Kirkus Review). With the psychological insight and biting wit of Luckiest Girl Alive, and the yearning ambitions and desires of Sweetbitter, this keenly intelligent and supremely resonant novel chronicles the exhilaration and dilemmas of young adulthood and the difficulty of letting go—even when you know you should.
Lies We Believe About God
Author: Wm. Paul YoungPublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501101412
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
From the author of the bestselling novel The Shack and the New York Times bestsellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of twenty-eight assumptions about God—assumptions that just might be keeping us from experiencing His unconditional, all-encompassing love. In his wildly popular novels, Wm. Paul Young portrayed the Triune God in ways that challenged our thinking—sometimes upending long-held beliefs, but always centered in the eternal, all-encompassing nature of God’s love. Now, in Wm. Paul Young’s first nonfiction book, he invites us to revisit our assumptions about God—this time using the Bible, theological discussion, and personal anecdotes. Paul encourages us to think through beliefs we’ve presumed to be true and consider whether some might actually be false. Expounding on the compassion fans felt from the “Papa” portrayed in The Shack—now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer—Paul encourages you to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God’s deep and abiding love.

Who is God and why did they lie us

Book Description
The world is changing. The world we live in has always changed. Changes can be dynamic or smooth. Immersed in our daily lives, we rarely think about the reasons why the world is changing. If we still have time to think, it will not be difficult to realize that we are these reasons. If we are able to realize this, we are not far from the logic that we can control change. Not individually, but as a conscious society. The changes we have registered so far are summarized as the history of mankind. […] Everyone wants a better life. This is only possible if we make the world we live in better. And we are constantly trying to do just that. […] Although provided in different ways according to the respective society and the respective epoch, the teaching has always been the same in its essence. This teaching is so universal that it cannot be changed. Change can only exist in the way we realize it. In order to be properly aware, we only need to update the way we pass on the teachings to the generations to come. Mankind today, as a whole, has realized that unification is needed to continue our proper development. At the same time, there is a division by different criteria and to different degrees. One of these divisions is faith in God. Most of those who deny it believe that we were created by chance by nature. This is also an interesting version, but it does not help much for proper upbringing. Very often people interpret this option as follows. Man is the greatest creation of nature. So great that it is greater than its creator. And little by little, without realizing it, people begin to boast. Once we succumb to selfishness, the worst of all human vices, we take the wrong path that can inevitably lead all of humanity to self-destruction. The second group in this division are people who believe in God. If the faith of those who claim to have it is true, they follow the teachings on which the claim of God, creator of the world and men, is based. If these teachings are the same, it would lead to the unification of humanity. If the result is the opposite, then we have not fulfilled the basic testament of the doctrine. This means that we have changed it and passed it on in the wrong way to the next generations. There is a third group in the same division. These are the people who realize that God and nature is one and the same thing. These people are trying to modernize the teaching and make it understandable to everyone. This would help people realize the need for unification as a prerequisite for achieving change in the world for the better. In personal aspect, if everyone tries to become a better person then the world will simply become better. If one believes the world can be better, there is no difference from believe in God. It’s just a different manifest of faith. Without faith, we can easily ‘sell our souls’. The book “Who is God and why did they lie us” is an attempt to explain this in a simple way. Asparuh Chorbadzhiev was born on August, 25th 1970 in Varna, Bulgaria. In 1988 he graduated at the Maritime College in Varna. At those years, a seaman profession was one of the possibilities to allow him travel around the world. To continue this career, later he went to the Naval Academy. For the past 30 years he sailed on most type of ships, meeting people from all over the world. As he would put it, reading books is another way to travel, in time and space. His interest in reading led him to the books with alternative knowledge and also to the great spiritual teachers. This helped him reach answers to eternal questions. What has been achieved is best to be shared. And that is exactly what is done in this book.
