Book Description
The instant New York Times bestseller from Chris Cleave—the unforgettable novel about three lives entangled during World War II, told “with dazzling prose, sharp English wit, and compassion…a powerful portrait of war’s effects on those who fight and those left behind” (People, Book of the Week). London, 1939. The day war is declared, Mary North leaves finishing school unfinished, goes straight to the War Office, and signs up. Tom Shaw decides to ignore the war—until he learns his roommate Alistair Heath has unexpectedly enlisted. Then the conflict can no longer be avoided. Young, bright, and brave, Mary is certain she’d be a marvelous spy. When she is—bewilderingly—made a teacher, she finds herself defying prejudice to protect the children her country would rather forget. Tom, meanwhile, finds that he will do anything for Mary. And when Mary and Alistair meet, it is love, as well as war, that will test them in ways they could not have imagined, entangling three lives in violence and passion, friendship, and deception, inexorably shaping their hopes and dreams. The three are drawn into a tragic love triangle and—as war escalates and bombs begin falling—further into a grim world of survival and desperation. Set in London during the years of 1939–1942, when citizens had slim hope of survival, much less victory; and on the strategic island of Malta, which was daily devastated by the Axis barrage, Everyone Brave is Forgiven features little-known history and a perfect wartime love story inspired by the real-life love letters between Chris Cleave’s grandparents. This dazzling novel dares us to understand that, against the great theater of world events, it is the intimate losses, the small battles, the daily human triumphs that change us most.

Pages : 498
Book Description
Winner of the 2013 Women's Prize for Fiction—A darkly comic novel of twenty-first-century domestic life by a writer who is always “compelling, devastating, and furiously good” (Zadie Smith) Harold Silver has spent a lifetime watching his younger brother, George, a taller, smarter, and more successful high-flying TV executive, acquire a covetable wife, two kids, and a beautiful home in the suburbs of New York City. But Harry, a historian and Nixon scholar, also knows George has a murderous temper, and when George loses control the result is an act of violence so shocking that both brothers are hurled into entirely new lives in which they both must seek absolution. Harry finds himself suddenly playing parent to his brother’s two adolescent children, tumbling down the rabbit hole of Internet sex, dealing with aging parents who move through time like travelers on a fantastic voyage. As Harry builds a twenty-first-century family created by choice rather than biology, we become all the more aware of the ways in which our history, both personal and political, can become our destiny and either compel us to repeat our errors or be the catalyst for change. May We Be Forgiven is an unnerving, funny tale of unexpected intimacies and of how one deeply fractured family might begin to put itself back together.

Book Description
In "All is Forgiven," Jesus himself authors a love letter from Heaven, to you. He reveals the healing truth that you are already innocent, forgiven of everything you might have thought could separate you from God's Unconditional Love, and completely free of the ego. This healing message nourishes, uplifts and enlightens with gentle truth and deep honesty. All of the ways in which you came to believe you were unworthy of God's love will be brought into question, then seen in a forgiving light. Jesus is direct, unconditionally loving, deeply insightful and thoroughly certain of this one simple truth: All is Forgiven. God loves you already and always will. Spanning a period of almost 2 years, All is Forgiven has been channeled by the scribe - Paul West - with every effort taken to ensure the clarity and accuracy of Jesus's intentions. All editing has been performed by and approved by Jesus Himself. All is Forgiven teaches in alignment with the principles of A Course in Miracles, a self-study course in the practical application of forgiveness and mind healing. It encourages you to forge contact and to work with Holy Spirit as you continue to apply loving self-forgiveness. Jesus teaches that you are forgiven, unconditionally and universally. There are no exceptions to this rule - you are immortal spirit, innocent and holy forever in God's eyes and no mistake can change this Eternal Truth. At times radical, at times beautiful, at times deeply profound, and at times intensely honest, Jesus's words heal and nurture while clarifying perception. Read it for yourself. Be willing to consider that you too can claim your absolute identity in Christ, and Jesus is here to hold your hand every step of the way.

Liberating truths combined with practical application will help you discover the unexpected freedom and boundless joy of living forgiven.

Forgiven and Forgiving
Author: L. William Countryman
Publisher: Church Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 0819224936
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
"Only the strong can forgive. God, who is strongest, forgives best," writes Dr. L. William Countryman in this fresh look at forgiveness. Unlike most books on the subject, Forgiven and Forgiving is not about a step-by-step process. Rather, it is about conversion. Once we truly understand the depths of God's love for us and know deep-down that we are forgiven, we begin to see the world anew through God's eyes. Only when we are able to accept God's forgiveness for ourselves can we offer forgiveness to others. Biblically based with sound academic research, yet written in a conversational style, Forgiven and Forgiving offers valuable insights for clergy, laity, and church study groups.
