Book Description
It had been six months since their beautiful Christmas in California, and Thelma Wehunt was expecting another wonderful time shortly. Her daughters and grandchildren were on their way to visit her in Oklahoma. Wanting everything to be perfect upon their arrival, Thelma called again to check on their progress and make sure there were no final arrangements that needed to be made to welcome them home. The voice on the other side of the line, however, was not one that she recognized. At that point, her life was thrown into a chaotic turmoil that could only be calmed by time, support, and the deep, soothing conviction of her unwavering faith in her loving God. Tragedy visits us all, but there may be nothing more deeply tragic than a mother outliving her children. In her memoir, Wehunt shares the touching testimony of her journey through the long, dark tunnel of despair to emotional recovery after losing both children and grandchildren to a terrible and unforeseeable accident.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
Philip Coogan tells his remarkable life story with moving honesty, describing his triumph over tragedy. Born with Northern Ireland connections in Manchester, England, his grandfather fell victim to anti-British Army feeling in the South after 1916. Philip lived in Ardboe, Northern Ireland, during World War II. There he suffered from tuberculosis and had a near-death experience. He paints a pleasant picture of growing up in a rural community, which makes what happens next even more disturbing. Moving to County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland in the late 1940s, he joined his father's garage business at an early age. They had subsequent run-ins with the RUC, the Royal Ulster Constabulary, but he went on to become a successful businessman. After marrying, Philip moved to Donaghadee, where he made a name for himself in the motor trade. As Northern Ireland's troubles intensified, repeated attempts were made on his family's lives and he was told he would be run out of town. On December 7, 1971, a loyalist bomb destroyed his business. "Our lives had changed overnight, but I was determined to rebuild my demolished garage. I was frustrated at every turn by the cold shoulders of the planning authorities, and those who vowed to see me 'run out of Donaghadee.' " Help came in the form of the Reverend Ian Paisley. "While reliving the horror of past events, and after several assassins' attempts, my health began to suffer. I began an endless one-man campaign to secure compensation for my personal injuries and business site from the Northern Ireland government." Philip Coogan moved to Southern Ireland in 1973. "I wrote my story of the injustice we had suffered over the last forty-two years."

The Way
Author: Carey Groner
Publisher: Spiegel & Grau LLC
ISBN: 1954118430
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
A postapocalyptic road trip and a quest for redemption. It’s 2048, and the world has been ravaged by a lethal virus. With few exceptions, only the young have survived. Cities and infrastructures have been destroyed, and the natural world has reclaimed the landscape in surprising ways, with herds of wild camels roaming the American West and crocodiles that glow neon green lurking in the rivers. Will Collins, the last surviving resident of a Buddhist retreat center in Colorado, receives an urgent and mysterious request: to deliver a potential cure to a scientist on the West Coast. So Will sets out into an unknown and perilous world, haunted by dreams of the woman he once loved, in a rusted-out pickup pulled by two mules. He doesn’t have much time—temperatures are rising to lethal heights, a hit man is on his tail, and armed militias patrol the roads. The only way he’ll make it is with the help of a clever raven, an opinionated cat, and a tough teenage girl who has learned to survive on her own. A highly original contribution to the canon of dystopian literature, The Way is a thrilling and imaginative novel, full of warmth, wisdom, and surprises. It raises age-old questions about life, death, and how to live, while reflecting our own world in unsettling, uncanny, and even hopeful ways.

Book Description
An Interview with the Angel Gabriel is an entertaining story about a young journalist, Robert Parker, transported to heaven by Angel Uriel. While there, Parker enjoys a tour of heaven lead by Angel Anafiel. After his tour, Angel Anafiel takes Robert to the Throne Room of Grace where they witness the Celebration of Praise before the Almighty God. When the celebration is complete, Robert sits down with the Great Messenger Angel Gabriel and conducts an interview. Using the story line above as a method of teaching, Rev. Jack Lister takes the reader through the Bible teaching the great biblical subjects of angels, heaven, life after death, the day of resurrection, and many more.

In the story, the angel Uriel tells Robert, "You will see things and experience things that will be strange to you. Many of your preconceived ideas of heaven and angels will be shattered. Some things you will find difficult to describe in human terms. Some things will delight you, some things will inspire you, and some things will overwhelm you. I promise you, however, when this trip is over, you will not be the same person that you are right now. You will see life in a completely different way. For you, Robert Parker, when this trip is complete, old things will pass away, and everything will become new." That is our hope as you read this wonderful story and learn directly from God's Word.
