Book Description
Born in a family in which no one else can read, Saman becomes a fearless writer, who knows that her words have the power to set paper ablaze. She picks up her pen, and writes with all her passion, the story of herself and Aman. Titled The Story of Us, her novel reaches Aman's bedside, when his wife Sasha gives it to him as an anniversary present. Aman is then forced to confront his past, which he has left behind twenty years ago, burying it beneath his intense pursuit of a brilliant neurosurgical career. She spends two decades running after memories of their time together, as he spends the same running away from them. Aman and Saman remain in each other's eyes-he as the sparkle in hers-cherished and welcomed, and she as the sand in his-gritty and blurring. The narrative touches on the spirit of sacrifice, the quest for education amidst poverty, the toil of surgical training in a foreign country, the grief of childlessness, and the power of true love. Torn Pages is a novel about the incomplete chapters of a story, and how they finally come together.

Book Description
Here is a story that has lain dormant for seven hundred years. At first it was suppressed by one of the Plantagenet kings of England. Later it was forgotten. I happened to dig it up by accident. The accident being the relationship of my wife's cousin to a certain Father Superior in a very ancient monastery in Europe. He let me pry about among a quantity of mildewed and musty manuscripts and I came across this. It is very interesting -- partially since it is a bit of hitherto unrecorded history, but principally from the fact that it records the story of a most remarkable revenge and the adventurous life of its innocent victim -- Richard, the lost prince of England. In the retelling of it I have left out most of the history. What interested me was the unique character about whom the tale revolves -- the visored horseman who -- but let us wait until we get to him. It all happened in the thirteenth century, and while it was happening it shook England from north to south and from east to west; and reached across the channel and shook France...

Publisher: Jericho Books
ISBN: 1455514322
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
An evangelical Christian examines the impact of sexuality, the LGBTQ+ movement, and the future of the church in this thoughtful, deeply researched guide to navigating and mending the social and political division in our families and churches. As a teenager and young man, Justin Lee felt deeply torn. Nicknamed "God Boy" by his peers, he knew that he was called to a life in the evangelical Christian ministry. But Lee harbored a secret: He also knew that he was gay. In this groundbreaking book, Lee recalls the events--his coming out to his parents, his experiences with the "ex-gay" movement, and his in-depth study of the Bible--that led him, eventually, to self-acceptance. But more than just a memoir, TORN provides insightful, practical guidance for all committed Christians who wonder how to relate to gay friends or family members--or who struggle with their own sexuality. Convinced that "in a culture that sees gays and Christians as enemies, gay Christians are in a unique position to bring peace," Lee demonstrates that people of faith on both sides of the debate can respect, learn from, and love one another.
