Book Description
This book is about a man lost in God's love, and the result of it how that love sculpted a rough and tough rock into a beautiful diamond. From the "author's statement" to the last page of this book reveals a vividly a deep relationship between God and this man. It is a testimony of a man who has been in prison for the last twenty-four years, who received a very harsh sentence, who has been separated from his three children, his wife who passed away, and his country. Yet these tragedies seem not to affect him, as they would others facing similar situations. Since that fateful day in the county jail when he heard that tiny little voice whispering in head, "Son you haven't asked me anything yet." This book is living proof of God's redeeming love through a man who surrendered all to His Will. Each page, paragraph and line are full of undeniable truths, evidences of a fulfilled life, a life filled with love, hope, peace and joy God promises. This book is a display of treasures in poetic form that shows what's "to be and not to be" in God. Finally, this book will give you the answer to the most intriguing, puzzling question that has captured the world for over four centuries. In very simplistic language, this reveals the motives of God and finally answers Shakespare's famous question, "to be or not to be".

The Hidden Diamond
Author: Crystal MM Huntley
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665574453
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
Aldous takes pride in his well-formatted ability to remain in control. To achieve such a goal, he securely locks deep within himself all elements from the seven decades of his past that could shake his precisely placed footing. Then a new family moves across the street, and with it, a five-year-old boy named Dakota with an uncanny ability to gnaw under Aldous’s skin. Bit by bit, Aldous’s carefully placed façade peels away, allowing God’s enduring love to push Aldous to face his past and bring him to his knees, asking God’s forgiveness while finding new freedom. To forgive is to give up on the wish for a different past so that we might embrace the present. The Hidden Diamond is a powerful story of forgiveness. As a survivor of many forms of abuse, including molestation, I have made it a lifetime mission to break those chains of abuse so that I would not pass that curse onto my children. The Hidden Diamond developed out of my struggle to heal and find peace. I steadfastly believe God loves us all. God never gives up on anyone, even those whose sins have brought far more harm than good into this world. I formatted Aldous’s character from my effort to forgive and understand what demons had tormented those who had violated my childhood. Writing has become one of my most important healing tools. In my journey toward wholeness, I have learned that forgiveness is a crucial ingredient. We each have wounds that beg to be mended. Only God’s love provides us the strength so that we may forgive and fully heal.

There's more to me than most people see. Twelve-year-old Willow would rather blend in than stick out. But she still wants to be seen for who she is.

Diamond Street
Author: Rachel Lichtenstein
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0241142873
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
Hatton Garden is one of the most secret streets in England, home for two centuries to a deeply private working community of diamond and jewellery dealers. Intimately connected to the area both personally (her family run a jewellery business there) and professionally (as an artist archivist of London's streets), Rachel Lichtenstein is uniquely placed to explore the extraordinary history of this mysterious quarter, with its ancient burial sites, diamond workshops, underground vaults, subterranean rivers, monastic dynasties and forgotten palaces. Moving beyond the street itself into parts of Clerkenwell, Holborn and Farringdon, Rachel follows the ancient perimeter of the original Hatton Garden estate, which once bordered the lost River Fleet. Guided on her walks by archaeologists, sewer flushers, artists, goldsmiths, geologists and visionaries of the city such as Iain Sinclair, she crosses the same territory repeatedly, gathering new layers of the story with each journey. The result is a brilliantly immersive and multi-layered portrait; both a documentary and a secret history of a vanishing world.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
In the middle of New York City lies a neighborhood where all secrets are valuable, all assets are liquid, and all deals are sealed with a blessing rather than a contract. Welcome to the diamond district. Ninety percent of all diamonds that enter America pass through these few blocks, but the inner workings of this mysterious world are known only to the people who inhabit it. In Precious Objects, twenty-six-year-old journalist Alicia Oltuski, the daughter and granddaughter of diamond dealers, seamlessly blends family narrative with literary reportage to reveal the fascinating secrets of the diamond industry and its madcap characters: an Elvis-impersonating dealer, a duo of diamond-detective brothers, and her own eccentric father. With insight and drama, Oltuski limns her family’s diamond-paved move from communist Siberia to a displaced persons camp in post–World War II Germany to New York’s diamond district, exploring the connections among Jews and the industry, the gem and its lore, and the exotic citizens of this secluded world. Entertaining and illuminating, Precious Objects offers an insider’s look at the history, business, and society behind one of the world’s most coveted natural resources, providing an unforgettable backstage pass to an extraordinary and timeless show.
