Book Description
John, an unmotivated seven year old is taken back in time by an adult angel. She tries to teach him the true meaning of life. He returns from his many adventures and tells his family about the angel, but none of them believe him. A child angel wants to be his guardian and comes to visit him. The child angel must get John to tell him about every adventure the adult angel took him through, but John is too lazy to tell him. John puts the job off on his sister and brother, but first he has to convince them there is an angel wanting to hear the stories. John wonders why his family, who professes to believe in angels and goes to church, can't believe that he has seen two angels. The baby angel, Joshua, gives John the gift to communicate with all animals, but his family thinks he is making it up. Meanwhile the family is planning a grand vacation with their father who is in on furlong. The family pets are to go also, that is, if they can get stubborn Rambo, their huge dog, to get his shots for the trip. At the vet, Rambo runs into the woods. Meow, the cat, and Baby, the small dog, along with John follow him. They end up at John's grand-parents' farm where they get into all kinds of humorous mischief. When Joshua shows up again, he promises John if someone will tell him the story, he will take all of the children and animals to another dimension where they will have a spectacular vacation climax.

John becomes an angel of death in Michaelメs army. He wants to do his part in saving the world and his beloved family he left behind from Godメs wrath of Armageddon if the angels fail to make a difference. John goes back to Chicago and fights crime and the injustices of humans and by on other humans. He goes around the city of Chicago killing sinful criminals, sending their souls to hell. The police think there is a vigilante killer lose in the city. He does not discriminate in picking his criminal victims, picking from a range of petty thieves, murders, rapists, mob bosses, politicians and dirty cops. The manhunt is on for a serial killer. Wherever he goes and whoever he kills he leaves his calling card. A death card found on the body only he can leave, sending out the word it was him and only him bringing death to all criminals who cross his path. Detective Sargent Christy Evans who leads her team of homicide detectives are hot on his trail. They continue mopping up the carnage of dead bodies after each of the murders hoping to get one step closer to him and stopping this vigilante killer. After some very intense investigations and a dozen murders later, Detective Evans and some cops think this is a real angel thatメs come to earth and is doing all the killing. No human has the super human strength to do what this angel does in his methods of killing. Detective Evans is willing to follow him into the pits of hell if thatメs what it takes to catch him and ask him why? モWhy now and who is next, is the most important questions Christy is willing to risk her own life to find out the answers. Detective Evans faces opposition and conflict from those who do not believe in angels and demons or heaven and hell. Some people believe in such things and some do not, which causes her great turmoil in her own ranks and with her peers she has to answer to. Some people have to be convinced the hard way by this one sole detective, this is a real angel and heaven does exist as they find out he is here to stay and not to mess with him or else. Others refuse to believe until itメs too late for them to repent and the only option is death. What do you do with a real angel from heaven killing criminals and finding bodyメs by the dozens?

For hundreds of thousands of years this world was Satanメs or Luciferメs playground of pleasure, sin and despair. The war of good and evil is on and heメs not going to give up this planet without a fight. He sends his own angels and demons around the world to fight heavenメs angels for all the souls of humanity. The stakes have never been higher in the history of mankind for the grand prize of human souls and earth. Humans around the world not even aware of this war taking place fall easy prey to the pleasures of Satan. People soon find out around the world as well, angels are very real. With an army of Michaelメs angels around the world, humans see the subtle changes for the good of mankind taking place and realize they are here and humans need to change or die. Happening before their very eyes, they see wars end. Dictators die and people are freed from bondage and slavery to live their new lives and make their own choices in life. The events they see take place make believers out of people all over the world while others reject their message to carry on with their evil ways fighting the changes of humanity. Lucifer sends his angels and demons to Chicago to stop this one lone angel from victory. As John does his duty and the body count starts climbing, humans are forced to face the hard truths about themselves and this one lone vigilante angel loose in the city. They are forced to praise him or hate him. Learn to live with him or face whatメs coming if he fails. Join him or die, your given a choice to repent or burn in the fiery pits of hell condemning your soul forever. Criminals have had a foothold in Chicago since Chicago was born and not willing to give up their city without a fight. They are willing to gamble for the city or die by his hands. Even Chicagoメs finest, the protectors of the people, as in the politicians, state and federal both, with the Chicago police departments are forced to change their way of doing business or face Johnメs wrath. These humans learning what the outcome is and their fate if they donメt change, all will all be judged the same in the end. The choice has finally come for humanity to face. What will it be, change the world as they know it or face the damnation of Armageddon? The choice is yours as I tell Johnメs story about the day an Angel came to Chicago.

The Life Before Her Eyes
Author: Laura Kasischke
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 0547541457
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
A “hauntingly original” psychological thriller about innocence, memory, and the effect of a moment of violence (O: The Oprah Magazine). In the girls’ bathroom, Diana and her best friend, Maureen, are stealing a moment from the routine drudgery of high school when a classmate enters holding a gun. Suddenly, Diana sees her life—past, present, and acutely imagined future—dance before her eyes. Through prose infused with the dramatically feminine sensuality of spring, readers will experience sixteen-year-old Diana’s uncertain steps into womanhood—her awkward, heated forays into sex; her fresh, fragile construction of an identity—and, in exhilarating detail, her life-not-lived as a doting mother and wife of forty. Together with the sights and sounds of renewal are the tasks of Diana’s adulthood: protecting her beloved daughter and holding on to her successful husband. This “poetic” novel encompasses both the truth of a teenager’s world and the transformations of midlife (Vanity Fair). Resonant and deeply stirring, The Life Before Her Eyes finds piercing beauty in the midst of a nightmare that echoes like a dirge beneath each new spring, in a story that “takes on deep matters of life and death; conscience and consciousness; family, love and friendship” (Los Angeles Times). “Evokes terror and redemption, shadows and light. Kasischke treads a delicate line with the precision and confidence of a tightrope walker. She reminds us to look hard at life, to notice its beauty and cruelty, even as it flashes before us and disappears.” —The New York Times “Mesmerizing.” —Chicago Tribune
