Book Description
From an author hailed for her “great characters”—a brave young woman finds love and adventure in the harsh frontier of nineteenth century Australia (Jo Lambert). After a scandal drove them from their native England, the Noble family have traveled to the other side of the world to start a new life in the Australian colonies. And young Pippa Noble is determined to reclaim their honor by turning her father’s hopes for an outback farm into a reality. But her ambition is frowned upon by a society that believes a woman should know her place. Pippa learns some hard lessons about the unforgiving bush country, sometimes with devastating consequences. When an unfortunate circumstance leaves her tending the farm alone, she is pleasantly surprised to find a helping hand—and a caring heart—in Gil Ashford, the ruggedly handsome owner of the neighboring estate. But her family’s past comes to haunt her in the form of an unexpected visitor from England, putting everything Pippa has worked for in jeopardy. And she must decide what is worth fighting for—the land she loves, or the man she loves more . . .

Along the way, Dr. Beck faces his own inner demons with help from his traveling companions and the three grow even closer.

Pages : 324
Book Description
In Boomerang, a novel told in vignettes both real and fictive, a father attempting to cope with the tragic murder of his son learns that actions return to haunt or reward. He becomes the embodiment of Hannah's ideal of forbearance, dignity, and decency in the face of incomprehensible death. In Never Die Hannah mingles hilarity and horror as the frontier West is killed off by the onset of automobiles, biplanes, and nitroglycerine bombs. A gallery of grotesque characters - a judges' evil dwarf henchman, a nymphomaniacal schoolteacher, and a homosexual doctor named Fingo - populate this rollicking postmodern novel in which Old West myths collide with the anarchy of the twentieth century.

The Gravity of Joy
Author: Angela Williams Gorrell
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467461369
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
“My vocation was supposed to be joy, and I was speaking at funerals.” Shortly after being hired by Yale University to study joy, Angela Gorrell got word that a close family member had died by suicide. Less than a month later, she lost her father to a fatal opioid addiction and her nephew, only twenty-two years old, to sudden cardiac arrest. The theoretical joy she was researching at Yale suddenly felt shallow and distant—completely unattainable in the fog of grief she now found herself in. But joy was closer at hand than it seemed. As she began volunteering at a women’s maximum-security prison, she met people who suffered extensively yet still showed a tremendous capacity for joy. Talking with these women, many of whom had struggled with addiction and suicidal thoughts themselves, she realized: “Joy doesn’t obliterate grief. . . . Instead, joy has a mysterious capacity to be felt alongside sorrow and even—sometimes most especially—in the midst of suffering.” This is the story of Angela’s discovery of an authentic, grounded Christian joy. But even more, it is an invitation for others to seize upon this more resilient joy as a counteragent to the twenty-first-century epidemics of despair, addiction, and suicide—a call to action for communities that yearn to find joy and are willing to “walk together through the shadows” to find it.

Heaven
Author: W. Heslop
Publisher: Solid Christian Books
ISBN: 1533388490
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
All Christians are interested in heaven the future abode of God’s children. In fact people who may not enjoy a vital Christian life through a definite relationship with Christ manifest an unusual in-terest in this subject. The most popular gospel songs are those which tell of Jesus and heaven. Close to the favorite, “The Old Rugged Cross,’’ are such songs as “No Disappointment in Heaven,” “The Sweet Bye and Bye,” “When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder” and those of a similar nature. The questions most frequently asked in a public question box are those about the future life. “Where are the dead?” “Are they in a conscious state of existence?” “After death will we know them?” “Will we be able to converse with them?” “What change will the resurrection make in the present state of the dead?” All of these indicate that people are unusually interested in the future life. This book has been written to give light on the subject of heaven and to answer many of these questions concerning the future life. Doctor Heslop, the author, has for years been an ardent Bible student. He has had a long experience as a Bible teacher, all of which has given him a wide grasp of the scriptural teaching on this subject. He brings an array of scriptural statements to substantiate his teachings. The reading of this book will bring comfort to those whose loved ones have departed to be with the Lord; it will inspire those who may be disheartened to continue the good fight of faith; it will encourage those who may have a tendency to discouragement because of the conditions existing in this present wicked world; it will brighten the hope of all who are followers of Christ and who are walking toward that city of gold; it will help us to be patient while we pass our pilgrimage here looking “for that city which hath foundations whose builder and maker is God.” D.
