Book Description
First in the mystery series from the New York Times-bestselling author: “Anyone who loves novels that revolve around books will savor this tasty treat.”—Library Journal (starred review) A quirky club in small-town North Carolina holds the keys to health, happiness, friendship—and even solving a murder—all to be found within the pages of the right book… Strangers flock to Miracle Springs hoping the natural hot springs, five-star cuisine, and renowned spa can cure their ills. If none of that works, they often find their way to Miracle Books, where, over a fresh-baked “comfort” scone, they exchange their stories with owner Nora Pennington in return for a carefully chosen book.

Now, determined to uncover the truth behind the businessman’s demise, the women meet in Nora’s cozy bookstore.

Pages : 144
Book Description
This is a book of poetry based on true feelings and emotions that you may experience during your life. You will find that each one has its own distinct message (or meaning) as perceived by its reader. As you read, open your heart and use your imaginative mind. Let the words lead you to places that you have never been before or with experiences that you have never had. As you read each word, visualize what you are seeing (reading) so you may comprehend the full meaning of each--the real struggles and challenges of life. Sit and reminisce as you are reading, and it will feel as if the words are speaking out to you. Most of them come from within the heart. Words have meaning and can show you everyday life experiences--a broken heart, love, sadness, hurt, God, happiness, a sense of peace and stillness, etc. Whatever your experience may be, listen to them and hear what they have to say to you. Kick off your shoes, sit back, and relax while you listen to the words and let them take you down some strolling alley of adventure of peace and contentment. May you feel God's love as they leave your heart filled with joy, love, and peace. Let each word be food for your soul so it may nourish your hungry body and quench the thirst of your dry mind. As each word whispers to you, may they be a reminder of life itself and let them fulfill your heart and instill it with meaning and purpose and give you a reason as to why God has put you here on this earth so you can enjoy its beauty and know that you are not alone. Read and enjoy each and every word and let them give you a better understanding of life. Come along as you travel and let these words tour your heart and speak those whispering words to you. May you soar higher than an eagle and find that silver lining that awaits you. God bless.

Whispering the Word
Author: Jacqueline E. Lapsley
Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press
ISBN: 1611644437
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Many Christian feminists wonder if they can simultaneously maintain their commitment to principles of gender equality and their faith in the Scriptures, particularly the Old Testament. Writing in response to feminist biblical scholars who approach the Old Testament with a hermeneutic of suspicion, Jacqueline Lapsley offers Christian feminists strategies to hear the subtle ideas and voices of the less powerful within the Old Testament texts. Reading and interpreting a number of Old Testament narratives in which women are prominent, Lapsley considers how these stories may reflect God's word for us. In doing so, she demonstrates how the narrative often attempts to shape the moral response of the reader by revealing the intricacy and complexity of the moral world evoked. In this gentle shaping of the reader's ethical sensibilities, she argues, is where God may be whispering a word for us.

Words Whispered in Water

Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
“Anyone who is interested in Hurricane Katrina, and in America’s failing infrastructure, will want to read this book . . . a fast-paced narrative.” —Scott G. Knowles, Drexel University 2020 Nautilus Silver Winner In the aftermath of one of the worst disasters in US history, Words Whispered in Water tells the story of one woman’s fight, against all odds, to expose a mammoth federal agency—and win. In 2005, the entire world watched as a major US city was nearly wiped off the map. The levees ruptured and New Orleans drowned. But while newscasters attributed the New Orleans flood to “natural catastrophes” and other types of disasters, citizen investigator Sandy Rosenthal set out to expose the true culprit and compel the media and government to tell the truth. This is her story. When the protective steel flood-walls broke, the Army Corps of Engineers—with cooperation from big media—turned the blame elsewhere. In the chaotic aftermath, Rosenthal heroically exposes the federal agency’s egregious design errors and changes the narrative surrounding the New Orleans flood. This engaging and revealing tale of man versus nature and man versus man is a horror story, a mystery, and David and Goliath story all in one. “Reveals what it takes to hold the powerful to account.” —Publishers Weekly “There are only a few civilians that fight like real warriors. Sandy Rosenthal is one of them.” —Russel L. Honoré, Lieutenant General, United States Army (Ret.)
