As he reached his late 30's he was stunned by the realization that his life felt incredibly empty and seemingly without purpose. While experimenting with a self-designed combination of meditation techniques that he used to escape the stresses of corporate life, he stumbled upon a perceptional gateway of sorts in 1993. Through this gateway Graybar learns that communication with three advanced souls is possible. Beyond the Broken Gate is a chronicle of Graybar's search to find meaning in his discovery and the very purpose of life.

Book Description
Everybody loves Katie; with her bubbly personality, her beauty, her never-ending supply of care and support for her patients and friends, and her huge sense of fun, there's very little to dislike. Yes, she's a bit scatty, she tends not to sweat the small stuff (like an engine light on her dashboard - that is until her Mini won't actually start any more), and she can talk the hind legs off a donkey, but none of that stops most people from thinking she's pretty damn adorable. Well, most people, other than Sam, that is. Sam is anything but bubbly. His surly demeanour is the complete opposite of Katie's, and over the six years that she's known him one thing has become very clear: Sam cannot stand her. The fact that he makes her nervous doesn't help the situation. Around Sam her verbal diarrhoea seems ten times worse, the snort that she tries to hold in when she laughs refuses to be suppressed, and her clumsiness assumes clown-like proportions. If only he weren't quite so intimidating, she might be able to act like a normal human being, but his sheer masculine beauty is enough to throw her off before she's even spoken to him. Then there's the fact that he looks at her like she's something he's scraped off his shoe. The combination is enough to short-circuit her brain. Katie may be bubbly and bright but unfortunately her past is not, and it's started leaking into her present. She hides her fear from her friends as they have problems of their own, but when Sam finds out the potential danger she's in, for some reason he is furious. Then again, there's a reason Sam is the way he is. He has his own demons to contend with. Shutting himself off and burying his pain has been working well for him over the last six years since leaving the Special Forces, so the last thing he wants is to spend any time with the one woman that cuts through the numbness he surrounds himself with and actually makes him feel again. But he simply can't stand by if Katie is in danger; he can't allow her to be hurt. Unfortunately there are other ways to be hurt, and by getting closer to Katie, Sam may inflict more damage than her past ever could. Because Sam is damaged, and some things are beyond repair. This is a full-length contemporary romance / romantic comedy with its own HEA and no cliffhanger.Praise for Beyond Repair "Fast paced and the author did a great job with the characters. Recommend to everyone who loves a romance between a tortured soul and bubbly, rainbow living angel." Star Angel's Reviews "I really enjoyed this read and cannot wait for the next book Susie Tate comes out with. This is a great series to read if you like the medical background of a show like Grey's Anatomy with the light humor of your favorite romantic comedy." Wicked Little Pixie Reviews "A must read series that begs to be on everyone's e-readers and shelves. Love, understanding, patience and passion - Perfection." The Book Fairy Reviews"This series has suspense, great banter, friendship, love and drama: what more could a reader want?" Scandalous Book Blog "I really enjoyed the book and am looking forward to Goody's story next. Once I started this one I couldn't put it down. Would recommend." Words Turn Me On Book Blog "This story had me hooked from the beginning to the end and I've only just managed to put it down." "Really enjoyed the ending especially the epilogue." Mizz Clare Book Blog. Warning - This story contains some swearing and violence. Author Background Susie Tate is a general practitioner now, but she has also spent years working in hospital medicine. This the first of her books to be set in general practice and she hopes that it will give readers a feel for what it's like behind the scenes, as well as being a funny, at times heartbreaking story.

Book Description
Everyone gets broken at some point. But how do we find power in that pain? Brokenness is a reality that every follower of Jesus experiences at some point on their journey, and it is in those moments of trial, pain, fear or failure that we look to the Lord for rescue and deliverance. We're grateful for the times He saves us from the valley, but what of the moments when we experience His salvation by walking with Him through the valley? This book doesn't ignore the reality of brokenness. Rather, it embraces it, while making a journey of faith to help us find power in the pain. So often we cry out to God to "deliver us from evil" because our natural human instinct longs to find the exit. But as numerous heroes of the faith will testify, walking through the valley is sometimes the only way out of it. Helen Roberts, Author of Be Victorious and Be Fruitful, from the foreword: "Like an uninvited houseguest, or even worse a midnight burglar, brokenness can bash its way into our lives. Unannounced. Unwelcome. Unexpected. In Beyond Broken, John Andrews takes us on a profound journey where we can discover a new wholeness from our brokenness and find power, even in the pain of our lives." About the author: Dr John Andrews is an author, speaker and teacher with a passion to equip and inspire leaders, as well as empowering followers of Jesus into effective lifestyle and service.

Book Description
The primary aim of this anthology is to present in English translation and chronologically arranged representative authors who illustrate the development of this genre in Greece from the beginning of the mid-1800s to 1950. Since literature is also the product of an individual country with its own political and cultural history, it is only natural that the short story in Greece possessed its own distinct characteristics. The stories chosen for this volume, therefore, bring to the reader a greater understanding both of the Greek temperament and of its special contribution to consciousness and literature.
