Book Description
A FINALIST for the Booker Prize, the National Book Critics Circle John Leonard Prize, the VCU/Cabell First Novelist Prize, the Lambda Literary Award, the NYPL Young Lions Award, and the Edmund White Debut Fiction Award “A blistering coming of age story” —O: The Oprah Magazine Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, The Washington Post, New York Public Library, Vanity Fair, Elle, NPR, The Guardian, The Paris Review, Harper's Bazaar, Financial Times, Huffington Post, BBC, Shondaland, Barnes & Noble, Vulture, Thrillist, Vice, Self, Electric Literature, and Shelf Awareness A novel of startling intimacy, violence, and mercy among friends in a Midwestern university town, from an electric new voice. Almost everything about Wallace is at odds with the Midwestern university town where he is working uneasily toward a biochem degree. An introverted young man from Alabama, black and queer, he has left behind his family without escaping the long shadows of his childhood. For reasons of self-preservation, Wallace has enforced a wary distance even within his own circle of friends—some dating each other, some dating women, some feigning straightness. But over the course of a late-summer weekend, a series of confrontations with colleagues, and an unexpected encounter with an ostensibly straight, white classmate, conspire to fracture his defenses while exposing long-hidden currents of hostility and desire within their community. Real Life is a novel of profound and lacerating power, a story that asks if it’s ever really possible to overcome our private wounds, and at what cost.

A Real Human Life
Author: Michael J. Wolfe
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 197364469X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
The book God gave Mike to write is so practical. The section on the sin nature is probably the most important section of the book, helping explain the struggle with why we still sin. Mike has put into words what I have never heard articulated. -Linda Sarver Milken National Educator 2003, contributor to teacher’s edition of America, the Last Best Hope by Bill Bennett, and follower of Jesus for 61 years If you are struggling with finding how to live the Christian life and long to discover the secret of the victorious life, this is the book you need to read. -Graham Stamford, Bible Teacher and Evangelist. Field Representative of Torchbearers and founder of SportsReach A Real Human Life reminds readers that the Lord Jesus lived a fully human life the way God intended, and He is the only one who can live His life in us. So each of us can live a real human life, too, if it is Christ living His life in us. Many Christians/churchgoers live in frustration and disappointment not seeing Bible-sized things in their lives, but they know God promises those things. This book, written from a pastor’s perspective, is a “blue collar” offering to help regular people deal with that frustration and disappointment. A Real Human Life relies on the Scripture to lay out a logical and biblical case for the reality of Christ in you, the hope of glory, and the subsequent human life He produces.
