Watching out the window, my heart nearly stopped! The man pulled out a black revolver from his belt, and taking hold of the gate, called Acerquese, senor. (Come closer, Mr.) By then I was running for the front door. I had to go around a corner, and nearly slipped on the tile floor. I opened the door and stepped to the edge of the porch, said in an urgent whisper, Come in quick! He has a gun! Ken whispered back, I know. He had heard the click when the man cocked it. Ken was backing up but still talking to the guy. When he got to the porch, I had the door open and we both dashed in, locking the door behind us. I had seen him grab the gate as if he were climbing over. It was just one of the alarming experiences of their mission life.

Book Description
This story is about a boy named Sumair who lived with his parents in New Delhi. His father was a successful businessman and mother was a successful, well-known social worker. Sumair was a very kind-hearted, simple, emotional and down-to-earth person. He met a boy named Ayaan who also lived in New Delhi with his family; his father was uneducated, rude and selfish kind of a person and mother was also of the same nature. So, he was very unhappy with the family. Sumair and Ayaan met each other and became best friends for life. After a few years they became like brothers from another mother. They were living their brotherhood with full joy and fun. A girl named Suhani entered Ayaan’s life and they fell in love with each other. All three of them were living their lives happily. Ayaan and Suhani got engaged and Sumair was just waiting for his Ms. Right. They all travelled to many countries and enjoyed their bachelorhood together. Life is life - we plan something, and something else happens. Life gives us surprises by doing something which is against our plans. After a few months, one severe tragedy happened with all of them because of which they all had to go through the worst phase of their life. A tragedy changed their lives forever. To face the situation, they had to do something which was not at all planned. Because of their decision, every relation got a new name. A very big truth/reality was hidden from everyone. The climax of the novel is most unexpected, unbelievable as it will reveal the reality because of which someone will break many hearts and win many others. Someone will sacrifice everything, every relation just for the sake of everyone. Sometimes you get happiness because your love is smiling in front of you. Love is all about giving, not receiving.

Mercy for Today
Author: Jonathan Parnell
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 1535959266
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
You cannot make it without God’s mercy. Do we just need God’s grace in dark and shameful moments? Are prayers for mercy only for those times when we really mess up? Jonathan Parnell says we need God’s mercy all the time. In fact, contrary to many church cultures, Parnell shows that asking God for mercy should be as regular as asking God for our daily bread. There’s no doubt that David was in a terrible predicament when he first prayed the words of Psalm 51. It was a dark and shameful moment in the Bible, and one so dark and shameful it seldom feels relevant to us today. But David’s most desperate prayer is really a prayer for all of us—and not just for our worst moments, but for our every moment. In these pages, you'll discover: how to pray a daily, memorable prayer derived from Psalm 51 how to practice daily repentance and soul care how to pursue God and experience his joy in the Christian life This is God’s mercy, and it’s Mercy for Today.

Pages : 60
Book Description
"My mother has been dead for almost seven weeks: I had better go to work before the need to write about her, which I felt so strongly at her funeral, dies away and I fall back into the dull speechlessness with which I reacted to the nerves of her suicide." So begins Peter Handke's extraordinary confrontation with his mother's death. In a painful and courageous attempt to deal with the almost intolerable horror of her suicide, he sets out to piece together the facts of her life, as he perceives them. What emerges is a loving portrait of inconsolable grief, a woman whose lively spirit has been crushed not once but over and over again by the miseries of her place and time. Yet well into middle age, living in the Austrian village of her birth, she still remains haunted by her dreams.
