Book Description
Phil Stone's life was evolving rapidly; from his days of teaching school, to his Naval Officer position on a destroyer. When, one day during another attack, the ship was blown out from under him. His life passing in review before him; He discovered two important facts. He never left his post under fire and the sea was unforgiving. He was once again regaining consciousness as he was recovering in the Naval Hospital. His time now was being spent; healing, gaining strength and observing others. Little did he know the importance of this at present; But his life was about to become even more complex in the days to follow, all the way into the unknown. Phil's first assignment after recovery placed him as the new Commander of a Mounted Shore Patrol Station. Where he crossed paths with Debbie Hess: while she was gathering driftwood on the beach. She caught and held his attention by an obsession he could not let go of. Ruth Culp, a business owner in the small nearby town, who fell instantly in love with Phil; admired and tried to comfort him. An untidy looking, meddling Station Doctor Hawkins from town, who prescribed as medicine, for Phil to meet the mysterious loner, Len Hess who was blind. Phil's world was crumbling, who could he tell? Who should he trust? What will happen when the last chips fall?

Pages : 257
Book Description
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.

Cinema, Censorship and Sexuality 1909-1925 (Routledge Revivals)
Author: Annette Kuhn
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317267265
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
First published in 1988. This book shows how censorship as a set of institutions, practices and discourses was involved in the struggle over the nature of cinema in the early twentieth century. It also reveals the part played in this struggle by other institutions, practices and discourses — for example ‘new’ knowledge about sexuality and organisations devoted to the promotion of public morality. Instead of censorship simply being an act of prohibition by a special institution, this work reveals the issues at work were far more complex and contradictory — opening up critical scrutiny and challenging assumptions. This title will be of interest to students of media and film studies.

Dear Thief
Author: Samantha Harvey
Publisher: Atavist Books
ISBN: 1937894452
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
“You were going to work your way into my marriage and you were going to call its new three-way shape holy,” writes the unnamed narrator of Dear Thief. The thief is Nina, or Butterfly, who disappeared eighteen years earlier and who is being summoned by this letter, this bomb, these recollections, revisions, accusations, and confessions. “Sometimes I imagine, out of sheer playfulness, that I am writing this as a kind of defence for having murdered and buried you under the patio.” Dear Thief is a letter to an old friend, a song, a jewel, and a continuously surprising triangular love story. Samantha Harvey writes with a dazzling blend of fury and beauty about the need for human connection and the brutal vulnerability that need exposes. “While I write my spare hand might be doing anything for all you know; it might be driving a pin into your voodoo stomach.” Here is a rare novel that traverses the human heart in original and indelible ways.
