Who the Hell is Phyllis!
Author: D.M. Sadleir
Publisher: Austin Macauley Publishers
ISBN: 1035832747
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Vivienne’s diary delves deep into the societal intricacies of the early 1900s, where the newly minted Royal Australian Navy drew its cultural moorings from the upper echelons of the Royal Navy. In 1916, a heart-wrenching tragedy shatters the façade when Vivienne, the Headmaster’s elder daughter, is believed to have taken her own life. Left in the wake of this calamity is twelve-year-old Phyllis, who grapples with grief and abandonment. With her parents emotionally absent and physically distant, she finds solace in Tally, cadet-midshipman and Vivienne’s beau. But as war calls him to Scapa Flow in 1917, Phyllis is cast adrift. In her quest for affection, Phyllis stumbles, her heart often leading her astray, until fate causes her to marry Tally, now a Lieutenant. Yet, what promises a safe harbour turns stormy with a loveless union and Tally’s deteriorating health. As Phyllis navigates a life marred by addiction and multiple marriages, her constant remains Ginnie, her ever-faithful Persian cat, who not only provides solace but also offers a unique narrative lens, weaving a tale of love, loss, and resilience.

In the Twinkling of an Eye

ISBN: 1532694091
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
My walk with God has been marked with real life-changing encounters initiated by God. Little by little God transformed my heart, and I was renewed by what I call "inside miracles." In the twinkling of an eye, God worked miracles in my heart that set me free from bondage and sin. These were significant deliverances and turning points in my spiritual growth as God quite simply and profoundly stepped into areas of my life that he needed to deal with. In my ignorance, God met with me and renewed my life. This is the story of an ignorant person who God deemed relevant to touch and set free in specific life areas in his way and in his time, from miraculous salvation experiences to dealing with me step-by-step over an approximate thirty-year period and finally setting me free from the deep dark dog of depression. It is a book to encourage hanging in there with your Christian walk and to highlight that, by the grace of God and in his time, there can be deliverance, freedom, and renewal.
