Book Description
After bouncing around in foster homes for most of her childhood, seventeen-year-old Tessa Jacobs doesn't believe she deserves love-not from her adoptive parents, and certainly not from anyone at school. But everything changes when she has a chance encounter with Skylar, a senior from a neighboring town who's a true romantic. Their budding relationship quickly leads to the kind of passion you only see in the movies. As her heart begins to open, Tessa starts to believe she might be deserving of love after all. When tragedy strikes, Tessa wakes up alone in a hospital room with no memory of how she got there. And then she learns the horrifying news: Skylar is dead. As Tessa searches for answers, Skylar's spirit reaches out to her from the other side. Desperate to see him one last time, Tessa must race against the clock to uncover the shocking truth of their relationship-a truth that might just lead to the afterlife itself. PRAISE FOR THE IN BETWEEN "This story and Marc had such a big impact on me. Somehow my heart breaks and swells all at the same time while reading this. A powerful telling of love and loss." -Joey King, star and producer of The In Between

The In-Between Place
Author: Kat Armstrong

Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
If you’re curious about how Jesus can change your individual story, the story of Jesus and the woman at the well offers insights to make peace with the past, find hope in the present, and step into the future. God wants us to move toward the goodness He has planned for us. But what do we do when challenges stop our forward momentum? On his way from Judea to Galilee, Jesus traveled through Samaria, a broken place everyone knew to avoid. In Samaria he stopped in a place where evil reigned. Yet the place once condemned as somewhere no one wanted to visit—let alone stay in for a while—was the location of one Samaritan woman’s most hope-filled encounter with the Savior. This encouraging book: Offers a fresh perspective on difficult times and challenging life circumstances where we feel stuck Provides practical help to step through hardship and into the redemption God has for us Is based on the story of the woman at the well found in John 4 Is ideal for women’s Bible studies and book clubs The In-Between Place offers deeply important insights to anyone who feels stuck and can’t see a way forward. It’s for the person who feels lost and is not sure she is worth the effort to be found, for the person who feels overlooked and unfulfilled. Because sometimes Jesus saves our greatest spiritual breakthroughs for our in-between places.

The In-Between World of Vikram Lall
Author: M.G. Vassanji
Publisher: Anchor Canada
ISBN: 0307371921
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
Giller Prize-winner M.G. Vassanji’s The In-Between World of Vikram Lall is a haunting novel of corruption and regret that brings to life the complexity and turbulence of Kenyan society in the last five decades. Rich in sensuous detail and historical insight, this is a powerful story of passionate betrayals and political violence, racial tension and the strictures of tradition, told in elegant, assured prose. The novel begins in 1953, with eight-year-old Vikram Lall a witness to the celebrations around the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, just as the Mau Mau guerilla war for independence from Britain begins to gain strength. In a land torn apart by idealism, doubt, political upheaval and terrible acts of violence, Vic and his sister Deepa must find their place among a new generation. Neither colonists nor African, neither white nor black, the Indian brother and sister find themselves somewhere in between in their band of playmates: Bill and Annie, British children, and Njoroge, an African boy. These are the relationships that will shape the rest of their lives. We follow Vikram through the changes in East African society, the immense promise of the fifties and sixties. But when that hope is betrayed by the corruption and violence of the following decades, Vic is drawn into the Kenyatta government’s orbit of graft and power-broking. Njoroge, his childhood friend, can abandon neither the idealism of his youth nor his love for Vic’s sister Deepa. But neither the idealism of the one nor the passive cynicism of the other can avert the tragedies that await them. The In-Between World of Vikram Lall is a profound and careful examination of one man’s search for his place in the world, with themes that have run through Vassanji’s work: the nature of community in a volatile society, the relations between colony and colonizer, and the inescapable presence of the past. It is also, finally, a deeply personal book speaking to the people who are in the in-between.

Overcoming the Inbetween
Author: Tyrone Jordan
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1728306604
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
Tyrone Jordan doesn’t claim to have experienced all that comes with waiting on the Lord during a season of opening and closing doors in an individual’s journey. However, he can relate to what has been shared in this book. The purpose of this book is to prevent people from tapping out in the in-between. It’s in the middle that the journey gets chaotic and pressing, but once a person declares and accepts the call on their life and acknowledges their purpose is far greater than where they are, that’s where their journey begins. The experiences in-between may vary, but the battles that we have to overcome is very much alike for us all. Jordan hopes that the readers will embrace these truths in this book and allow it to comfort the reader in knowing that he or she is not by themselves. We are here in the moment together, and we are going to overcome together. We speak strength and encouragement to the reader and confidence in knowing that this journey was all in God’s plan for your life to prepare you for your mission and the fulfillment thereof. We will get there!

The In-Between
Author: Jeff Goins
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 0802485057
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
We’re an “instant gratification” generation—but most change happens gradually. Many of us spend our lives searching and longing for something more than what is in front of us. Whether it’s traveling abroad or chasing cheap (or expensive) thrills, we’re all looking for the medicine to satisfy our restlessness. And so often we're looking in the wrong place. The In-Between is a call to accept the importance that waiting plays in our lives. Can we embrace the extraordinary nature of the ordinary and enjoy the daily mundane—what lies in between the “major” moments? Learning to live in this tension, to be content in these moments of waiting, may be our greatest struggle—and our greatest opportunity to grow.
