Book Description
WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE© IN LITERATURE 2013 A New York Times Notable Book A Washington Post Notable Work of Fiction A Best Book of the Year: The Atlantic, NPR, San Francisco Chronicle, Vogue, AV Club In story after story in this brilliant new collection, Alice Munro pinpoints the moment a person is forever altered by a chance encounter, an action not taken, or a simple twist of fate. Her characters are flawed and fully human: a soldier returning from war and avoiding his fiancée, a wealthy woman deciding whether to confront a blackmailer, an adulterous mother and her neglected children, a guilt-ridden father, a young teacher jilted by her employer. Illumined by Munro’s unflinching insight, these lives draw us in with their quiet depth and surprise us with unexpected turns. And while most are set in her signature territory around Lake Huron, some strike even closer to home: an astonishing suite of four autobiographical tales offers an unprecedented glimpse into Munro’s own childhood. Exalted by her clarity of vision and her unparalleled gift for storytelling, Dear Life shows how strange, perilous, and extraordinary ordinary life can be.

Book Description
Powerful YA novel by an award-winning writer about a teenager coming to terms with the suicide of her sister. 17 year old Tara McClusky’s life is hard. She shares the care of her paralysed father with her domineering, difficult mother, forced to cut down on her hours at school to help support the family with a part-time rest home job. She’s very much alone, still grieving the loss of her older sister Van, who died five years before. Her only source of consolation is her obsession with art — and painting in particular. Most especially she is enamoured with Vincent Van Gogh: she has read all his letters and finds many parallels between the tragic story of his life and her own. Luckily she meets the intelligent, kindly Professor Max Stockhamer (a Jewish refugee and philosopher) and his grandson Johannes, and their support is crucial to her ability to survive this turbulent time. NZ Post Award-wining author Mandy Hager tackles the difficult topic of suicide fearlessly, with a novel that's not afraid to go to the dark places but which resolves its story beautifully. It's uplifting and positive. Dear Vincent is also a novel about the power of love, and how the acquisition of inner peace requires forgiveness of ourselves and others.

Book Description
This book that you’re holding in your hands will do what it was said about the two olive trees in Revelation and believe it, what is written in it will torment the inhabitants of the earth, just like it is described in the book of Revelation. I am not a theologian, but in this book you will find all the evidences, all the necessary proofs, which expose the true face of the antichrist, the true face of the devil, the one Jesus talked about in Matthew 13, 39. “And the enemy who sows them is the devil.” In this book you will also find the name of the beast, finally. Name that millions have tried in vain to identify. The devil sowed the lies, but we have believed in them despite all of Jesus and his disciples’ warnings and this causes our lost. Only the key of the kingdom of heaven that Jesus gave to Peter, the truth, the word of God can save us. Read very carefully 2 Thessalonians 2, 10. “They perish because they refused to love the truth and to be saved.” If you really have love for the truth, you will read; The True Face of The Antichrist to the end, even though it is very shocking and troubling as you have never been, but remember one thing, it is for your own salvation. I already have my salvation, because I saw and I believed the truth and I have accepted it. So, I wish you the same joy, the same happiness. The truth that is in this book is a knife straight to the heart of the beast. The more it will be sold and the more the truth will be known and accepted, the more the beast will be destroyed. What gives the power to the beast are the ignorance and the hypocricy of its members. The beast has its foundation on lies and this is why it will be destroyed by the truth, by the word of God, just like the prophecy says. See 2 Thessalonians 2, 8. “And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth (the word of God) and destroy by the splendor of his coming.” James Prince
