Book Description
Some angels wear cowboy hats. Some villains wear poker faces. Home isn’t always where the heart is…and sometimes it isn’t only the good that die young. Luellen was raised by her uncle and aunt, in a God-fearing home, with little sentiment for life and love. So, the young girl grows up feeling like she’s a freak for being emotional at the drop of a hat, and for her pronounced reticence. People stare at her and spread rumors about the orphan girl who doesn’t grow up to be a regular Texan woman. What is wrong with Luellen is something only one person knows, but the why is the part that a dear friend figures out in time. Hawk is a grouchy, overworked, stubborn rancher, who has been left to tend to the ranch with his last two brothers, who, in his opinion, are about as useless as tits on a bull, as Texans put it. This, after his two best ranch hands leave; his older brother to move away and start a new career, and his younger brother to help at a ranch in the same town as the older brother. Hawk is hated by many for his fiery temper and loose cannon attitude, until the day someone leaves a secret treasure in his mailbox…shortly after he nearly attacks that someone. It takes days for Hawk to see what only her best friend has seen for years. But he can’t do anything about it without betraying Luellen’s trust. Chance takes over and the one thing that has haunted Luellen since her parents’ death…disappears. But can she grow up to love and live life the way she deserves? And will a serendipitous gathering save the lives of others? Find out in ‘No More Dice’, a beautiful, heart-wrenching love story that brings together two characters from previous books, and ties in the story arc with two other couples who fell in love earlier in the series. Don’t miss book seven! FYI…it has another painful cliff hanger, so be warned!

God Does Not Play Dice
Author: David A. Shiang
Publisher: eBookIt.com
ISBN: 0980237343
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
In this revolutionary and provocative work, David A. Shiang claims to offer final answers to many of humankind's most enduring mysteries. He argues that Einstein was right in rejecting the randomness of quantum theory, and he shows that Stephen Hawking (A Brief History of Time) and Brian Greene (The Fabric of the Cosmos) are mistaken in saying that evidence shows nature to be probabilistic. He takes on Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion) and Daniel Dennett (Breaking the Spell), contending that Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is neither scientific nor correct. He also maintains that worry and regret can be overcome, following in the footsteps of T.S. Eliot and other pioneers of the mind. Odds are high that the logical and elegant solutions Shiang presents to our deepest riddles will cause you to rethink your most fundamental beliefs. "Very provocative, erudite, and solidly based on intelligent and logical thinking! Congratulations on making an excellent contribution to understanding the role of a higher intelligence in organizing the affairs of the universe!" - Pat McGovern, IDG Founder and Chairman, Co-founder of The McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT "His lucidity and logic are breathtakingly devastating. He is not afraid to defend the mind of God, either.... I cannot overstate the importance of Shiang's work and its deep influence." - Len Klikunas, Cultural Anthropologist

Book Description
The little white lie. The wasted years together. And the mistaken toe tag that ends up saving a life. Carson Thomas joins the military because of Hawk. Not leaving home on good terms puts a sour taste in his mouth and a world of resentment in his girlfriend’s Missy’s heart. But she’s got him by the balls in more ways than one…and she knows it. When he meets Kerry-Ann, the sweet fellow soldier doing half time as a bartender, he starts seeing the world through her eyes. But will he remain faithful despite his misgivings about the girl he left behind? Kerry-Ann shares the same state with Carson, and even though they live in different cities, they find a camaraderie between them amongst the oceans that separate them from home. The girl smells a rat from what Carson tells her about his sweet, innocent hometown girl, but she can’t bear to see the big-hearted guy suffer, especially when the girls he loves is so far away. Years pass while Carson stays away from home, avoiding Hawk and the chill in the air from his family, and effectively avoiding Missy and the ever-present pressure, but it won’t last for long. When the truth finally sets Carson free, he retaliates, sending himself onto the battlefield, where he can forget about the betrayal and heartbreak, but also where he nearly ends his life. In an unexpected twist of fate, a face from Carson’s past shows up in his hospital room, but will Carson make the right move? Is it too late for Carson Thomas to change his path and do the right thing?
