If You Could See...
Author: Constance Cooper
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1636301290
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Serving God and living in His love had been her desire since the day she gave Him her heart. Helping others discover that love had led to a life full of joy and purpose. He had found God’s design by placing himself in harm’s way to ensure that the innocent were safe. His heart was held firmly in the hand of Jesus, who had set the example by giving His life to make innocent the saved. Can people choose to serve God all their lives? Is fulfillment found in God’s purpose for our lives? If we let God transform our perception of the world, will we see it as He does? When we see with God’s eyes, can we avoid conforming to the world and experience the fullness of God? God is a romantic. We need the sun to come up in the morning and go down in the evening, but do we need it to be pink and purple, red and green? Science can explain how but not why. God’s love gives us the why. God wants us all to experience the fullness His love can offer, not just the light and dark but that awesome moment everything seems to stop as we look up and let the “wow” soak into our souls. In If You Could See..., we follow the story of two children of God choosing to see as God does and discovering the beauty of love that He desires for all of us to experience. Get lost in the “wow” and let your heart believe again!

Book Description
Tensions are high and the dangers multiply as New York City bartender and man-about-the-mean-streets Brian McNulty---always a sucker for the plight of the little guy---joins forces with a motley crew of workers from the old Savoy Hotel. McNulty has once more run afoul of the powers that be in the New York City hotel and restaurant industry and finds himself exiled to a down-at-the heels hotel in, for him, the far reaches of civilization---Manhattan, west of Eighth Avenue. Not long into his tenure, a vicious attack on one of his fellow bartenders raises the stakes and puts everyone on edge, and it doesn't take much for the hotel manager to provoke the outraged workers into a strike. Once they hit the bricks, all hell breaks loose, and it isn't long until the bodies start to fall. The cops focus in on two of McNulty's pals, a renegade Irishman and a pretty, young waitress from Brooklyn, both with closets full of secrets and buckets full of problems of their own. McNulty thinks the cops, as usual, are barking up the wrong tree, but that's the least of his problems. The hits in this particular instance have angered the gods of gangsterland, and someone has determined that McNulty is a problem.
