Book Description
It's Lilah's first job, and she's pretty sure she's going to mess it up. To be fair, her work is pretty complicated. Lilah is employed by a company that alters the memories of the terminally ill, giving them one more chance at life. Diving into a client's memory is like diving into a dream world where time stops, and anything is possible. Lilah enters the memories of Theodore, whose biggest regret is losing the love of his life, Abigail Morley. Lilah's goal is to get Theodore and Abigail back together, but being a matchmaker isn't as easy as it sounds. Constant obstacles stand in her way. One such obstacle is Frank, Theodore's bad boy older brother. Frank is both a hindrance and a help as Lilah struggles to reunite Theodore with his lost love. He teases her, constantly smokes, never brushes his hair, and he refuses to believe she's a matchmaker from the future. Even so, Lilah finds herself falling for him... but is he even real? One part time travel romance and one part Matrix, True Endings is a different kind of science fiction romance.

The Ending of Mark and the Ends of God
Author: Donald Juel
Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press
ISBN: 9780664227395
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Among his many contributions to New Testament studies, Donald Juel was perhaps best known for his treatment of the ending of Mark's Gospel. He saw the open-endedness of Mark as powerfully unsettling for the reader who desires to tame and predict God's actions. In this series of essays, edited by Beverly Roberts Gaventa and Patrick Miller, theologians begin with Juel's own work and reflect on the "unsettling" in the context of their own work.
