Book Description
The last thing Holly Harris expected was to wind up nineteen, knocked-up, and all alone. When Coop left to pursue his dreams of becoming a rock god, he left a tiny piece of him behind. Holly wishes he hadn't. Jackson wishes he hadn't. Jackson Rowe tried filling the void his family left by drinking, screwing around, and leaving a string of heartbroken women in his wake. Moving back to Sugartown should have been easy, but he hadn't counted on the fact his sometimes attraction to Holly would still be alive and kicking-and he sure as hell hadn't counted on her being pregnant with another man's baby. They drive one another crazy, and yet they can't stay away. When old flames resurface, and even older wounds are torn open, can two people so similar make it work? Or will their stubbornness only drive them further apart? Content Warning. Intended for a mature 18+ audience. Contains angst, a crap-tonne of profanity, short-tempered Australian wildlife, and some very pregnant sex.

Things That Make Us (Sic)
Author: Martha Brockenbrough
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1429985429
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
This book is for people who experience heartbreak over love notes with subject-verb disagreements...for anyone who's ever considered hanging up the phone on people who pepper their speech with such gems as "irregardless," "expresso," or "disorientated"...and for the earnest souls who wonder if it's "Woe is Me," or "Woe is I," or even "Woe am I." Martha Brockenbrough's Things That Make Us (Sic) is a laugh-out-loud guide to grammar and language, a snarkier American answer to Lynn Truss's runaway success, Eats, Shoots & Leaves. Brockenbrough is the founder of National Grammar Day and SPOGG -- the Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar -- and as serious as she is about proper usage, her voice is funny, irreverent, and never condescending. Things That Make Us (Sic) addresses common language stumbling stones such as evil twins, clichés, jargon, and flab, and offers all the spelling tips, hints, and rules that are fit to print. It's also hugely entertaining, with letters to high-profile language abusers, including David Hasselhoff, George W. Bush, and Canada's Maple Leafs [sic], as well as a letter to --and a reply from -- Her Majesty, the Queen of England. Brockenbrough has written a unique compendium combining letters, pop culture references, handy cheat sheets, rants, and historical references that is as helpful as it is hilarious.

Forgiveness

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Author Minister Constance D. Johnson, MBA author of "Persevere Wrench", "Bellicans ~An Inspiring And Quintessential Novel For Today's Time!" writes for your reading pleasure and enjoyment this inspirational and enlightening book "Forgiveness: Is It Too Late To Forgive?" Featuring: "A Kindle Of A Mother's Memoirs Of Love ~ The Cent Of A Rose ~ The Price Jesus Christ Paid!" This is a magnificent and splendid story of forgiveness and acceptance of the Lord. Stories can mimic real life, but the beginning and ending may not. A house, whether it's built in an affluent area or in the slums--worms can be found underneath the paint. A tsunami can hit any house in any neighborhood where it generally occurs. Don't disregard a person because of where he or she lives or who they may appear to be. Just as there are those, though they may be rich and believe they have everything, but if they don't have God, they will soon come to realize that they really have nothing. Hopefully, all will come to know that they have a good and true purpose in life, and wealth can be the catalyst, or it can be shared with others who are in need. The "Holy Bible" speaks to your spirit. It holds all truths and answers, and no doubt or ambiguity can be found in it! Many have received promotions and are prosperous, and are not believers in the Word of God, but are living a facade, because it will fade as their body will return to dust! You can live on earth and in heaven--then your life begins! But while you are here on earth, don't put God on the backburner; put Him first in your life. Be aware; time is fleeting, the day of reckoning and judgement will soon come. Some may say: I need more time! But time is your enemy and not your friend, time will only ask for more time! But the good news is that love, health, protection, promotion, prosperity, and longevity can be yours, if you accept "God" in your 'heart' today; by His 'grace' through your 'faith' in "Jesus Christ" you will be 'saved' and receive 'eternal life in heaven' that your 'soul' will not be lost! Go ahead, live your life to the fullest; have a tinge of 'hope' and a sea of 'faith' to believe in God and in yourself to build your will-house--your oasis, that it will align with God's will for your life; that you can procure a better life, and do for others along the way. No one knows the day or hour they will leave this world and enter the next. Before you enter death's door, before "it's too late", won't you make the right choice while you are alive today? Repent of your sins and ask God for "forgiveness" (and all others) and receive the 'precious gift' of salvation and eternal life in heaven through Jesus Christ! The choice is truly only yours! Miracles are God's way of letting us know that He is here for us. You are a miracle of God! Isn't it extraordinary to know He loves you so! Read on and see! You'll be glad you did! BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, FORGIVE NOW! TODAY!

It Revolution
Author: Michael Higgs
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1728330858
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
Technology is so ubiquitous and such an integral part of our lives and our culture that we take it for granted. Indeed, technological advancement is bringing wonderful enhancements to our lives in the form of productivity, ease, comfort, convenience, and fun. But technology is always changing. So where will we be in ten years? Will technology result in a utopian society, or will the picture be much bleaker and darker? Here is the ugly truth: this rapid, exponential growth of IT will soon bring massive, even cataclysmic, social disruption and upheaval. In many fields of employment, IT is taking humans out of the equation and making us obsolete. Entire job classifications and industries will soon disappear. Will yours be one of them? To make matters worse, many “fall back jobs” that people currently rely on to help them get through the tough times caused by layoffs will soon be gone. Think about this impending future development: What will millions of people do when they cannot find a job of any kind, at any amount of pay? Where will they turn? How will they respond? And what will be the effect on society overall? The vast majority of people are unaware of what will soon happen. According to IT Revolution, we, as a society, are like the passengers on the Titanic, coasting along comfortably and complacently, blissfully ignorant of the disaster that looms before us. We are taking a “head in the sand” approach to the future, believing that disasters will happen to “somebody else” or that “the government will take care of me”. But disaster will soon happen to many of us, maybe even all of us, and the government won’t be able to help us. So we must prepare to be able to respond to the future, and we must start preparing now. This is a book that will trouble you. It will antagonize you. It will scare you. But it will also give you hope. As you read IT Revolution, you will discover • How and why the $15 per-hour minimum wage movement will backfire on those demanding that it be implemented • The serious downside of modern-day white collar life • Why technology is rapidly morphing from our Servant to our Master • That technology is not just affecting the white collar world; many blue collar and service jobs are at risk of disappearing • How “Supervisoritis” is harming quality of life for millions of people in the industrialized world and costing western economies billions of dollars annually • How “higher education” is leaving many graduates woefully unprepared for the “real world” • How a major failure of the education system is leading to the removal of millions of people from the workforce and the rapid takeover of industries by IT • A question company leaders need to answer in order to start moving down the road to progress and financial success • What specific steps you can start taking now to shield yourself and your family form the coming disaster Tough times lie ahead for all of us. But it’s not too late for you to take action. It’s not too late to prepare. But we as individuals, family members, leaders of companies, and society as a whole, must act now. Why not let this riveting, fascinating book serve as a practical roadmap?
