The Soul Sucker
Author: Albert Reneer
Publisher: Fulton Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1637107684
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
This book is about a horrific murder. No one deserves to be slaughtered like this victim was, and again, like most evildoings, it was over money. "The love of money is the root of all evil." I never thought this adage to be completely true until this murder case, and my eyes were opened. It is true. The house where this murder occurred is cursed and haunted to this day. For some reason, possibly because of my religious beliefs, I have not had any spiritual problems during and after the serving of four search warrants at this house, but several other officers and crime scene personnel did. I cannot stress the fact enough that this house is evil. I don't know the reason why, but many others have sensed the evil in this property, especially the house, and they refuse to do any more searches with me in this house. And I have decided to never give the location of this house-ever-because I have witnessed what it has done to other people's souls.

The Learner
Author: Thomas Franklin Warren
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532651392
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
The ministry is difficult. So much is asked of you, and expectations are high. It's hard to please everyone, and hurt can fester and grow, especially when matters stay unresolved. In The Learner, young pastor Christopher Ek confronts the challenges of leading his church, while trying to become a better golfer. Golf--when taken seriously--is hard. Some say it's a metaphor for life: just when players think they have discovered its secrets, the game turns on them. Nothing works. But a gorgeous shot on the last hole of a disappointing day will bring them back for more, and suggest that there is hope. And there is, for a while, but the Sisyphean cycle continues, no matter the skill of the player. Like life and church, golf is a game full of hope and frustration. Grappling with these matters, Pastor Ek confronts the forcefulness of the youth of his church, who are learning about homelessness in their midst. Before long, they develop big ideas and seem to be taking over the congregation. Out in the pews members are asking: "What are our children up to? Are we a place of G-o-d or g-o-l-f?" and "who is this foxy new liturgist?"

Pages : 385
Book Description
Acclaim for The Immortal Bobby "Just when you think there is nothing new to be said or written on the subject of Bob Jones, Ron Rapoport comes along and proves that theory completely untrue. The Immortal Bobby is wonderfully reported and superbly written." --John Feinstein, author of A Good Walk Spoiled and Caddy for Life "The story of Bobby Jones's singular life is one of the most fascinating in sports history. Ron Rapoport's thoughtful, graceful style is well suited to telling that story." --Bob Costas, broadcaster, NBC Sports and HBO Sports "Beyond the grainy newsreels and the confetti falling on Broadway and Peachtree Street, there was an essential Bobby Jones, and Ron Rapoport reveals him splendidly in a portrait as graceful as the man. There's more here than Grand Slam 1930--the jangling nerves and self-doubt, the towering modesty in response to fame, the complexity of an Atlanta patrician, a life richly lived." --Gary M. Pomerantz, author of Where Peachtree Meets Sweet Auburn "The skills of writing and reporting that fans of Ron Rapoport, like me, have come to expect from him over the years--candor, thoughtfulness, insight, perspective, humor--are once again demonstrated and illuminated in The Immortal Bobby. It is an important book about an important sports figure that, typically for Rapoport, goes beyond the confines of sports and fits firmly in the context of our culture." --Ira Berkow, sports columnist and author of Red: A Biography of Red Smith "Here is Bobby Jones as you've never seen him, almost fearful in the fires of competition, and Ron Rapoport shows us how that man became a legend." --Dave Kindred, coauthor (with Tom Callahan) of Around the World in 18 Holes
