Book Description
In 1964, Connie and Julio Harriman's parents were brutally murdered, and the only suspect the police ever had was Connie's popular boyfriend at the time, Andrew Leader, who left town after the incident. Tilden Park, a conservative suburb of Cincinnati, was full of bigotry, so it seemed that her black boyfriend was the obvious suspect. But the Harriman's murder was never solved. Twenty-two years later, Connie is back in Tilden Park with her brother. Under the guise of returning for her high school reunion, her real mission is to face her past, with a renewed determination to discover answers to the questions that still grip her life and won't let go...who killed her parents? The case is cold, but mysterious things start happening around Connie and Julio, when they begin to piece together the puzzle surrounding the murder. To make things even more complicated, Andrew shows up for the reunion, and old feelings that Connie thought were long gone bubble to the surface. Can things get any worse?

Book Description
At her first Passover Seder with John's Jewish family in 1976, Christie had a divine encounter that took her completely by surprise. She found Jesus hidden in an ancient ceremony within the Passover called "Yahatz", or "breaking" a matzo cracker called, the "afikoman". She asked Him, "What are You doing in this Jewish thing?" He answered, "All the feasts are about Me. Christianity is Jewish." After that night, with an insatiable hunger to know Jesus, she began her long journey of looking for the revelation of Jesus and God's heart in all the Biblical feasts. While her first book, Finding the Afikoman: encountering Jesus in the spring feasts, focused on the first coming of Jesus; this second book will take you on a journey with Christie through the fall feasts and Jesus' return to the earth. As in her first book, Christie will continue to share personal stories and encounters, mostly from her journals that span over four decades. Her discoveries will broaden your understanding of scripture from their Jewish perspective, and reveal to you the family and culture that Romans 11 says that you have been grafted into. What is Christie's conclusion about the feasts? "They are all about a wedding." The spring feasts begin with the courtship between Jesus and His Bride and end with a betrothal. The fall feasts begin with the consummation of His wedding and end in a glorious wedding feast! Christie's prayer is that, in reading this book, you will realize that you are part of the greatest love story ever told!

Book Description
When John and Christie were married in 1974, the fact that Christie was a Gentile and John was Jewish was not an issue to them. It was, however, an issue to John's parents who were holocaust survivors and had lost all their family in Nazi Germany. They did not want their son marrying a Gentile girl that would lead him away from his Jewish faith. While I assured them that I had no religious affiliation that would persuade him contrary to their beliefs, God had other plans. One year later John and Christie became Christians. Now that her mother-in-law's worse fear had come true, Christie decided to try to soften the blow of their conversion by acting interested in what they believed. At her first Passover celebration with John's family in 1976, Christie had a divine encounter that took her completely by surprise. She found Jesus hidden in an ancient ceremony within the Passover called "Yahatz", or "breaking" the afikoman. After that night, with an insatiable hunger to know Jesus, she began her long journey of looking for the revelation of Jesus and God's heart in all the Biblical feasts. In this book Christie shares personal stories and encounters, mostly from her journals that span over three decades. Her discoveries will broaden your understanding of scripture from their Jewish perspective, and reveal to you the family and culture that Romans 11 says that you have been grafted into. Most importantly, we pray your heart will be strengthened in the love story that is woven throughout all of the Biblical feasts. We are living in that time when God is releasing Bridal love to the Body of Christ and the purpose of this book is to leave you love-sick to know Him more and to have intimacy restored before His return

The Art of Waiting
Author: Belle Boggs
Publisher: Graywolf Press
ISBN: 1555979459
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
A brilliant exploration of the natural, medical, psychological, and political facets of fertility When Belle Boggs's "The Art of Waiting" was published in Orion in 2012, it went viral, leading to republication in Harper's Magazine, an interview on NPR's The Diane Rehm Show, and a spot at the intersection of "highbrow" and "brilliant" in New York magazine's "Approval Matrix." In that heartbreaking essay, Boggs eloquently recounts her realization that she might never be able to conceive. She searches the apparently fertile world around her--the emergence of thirteen-year cicadas, the birth of eaglets near her rural home, and an unusual gorilla pregnancy at a local zoo--for signs that she is not alone. Boggs also explores other aspects of fertility and infertility: the way longing for a child plays out in the classic Coen brothers film Raising Arizona; the depiction of childlessness in literature, from Macbeth to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?; the financial and legal complications that accompany alternative means of family making; the private and public expressions of iconic writers grappling with motherhood and fertility. She reports, with great empathy, complex stories of couples who adopted domestically and from overseas, LGBT couples considering assisted reproduction and surrogacy, and women and men reflecting on childless or child-free lives. In The Art of Waiting, Boggs deftly distills her time of waiting into an expansive contemplation of fertility, choice, and the many possible roads to making a life and making a family.

Book Description
MIDNIGHT IN SAVANNAH… It's a city of beauty, history…hauntings. And one of the most haunted places in Savannah is a tavern called The Dragonslayer, built in the 1750s. The current owner, Gus Anderson, is a descendant of the original innkeeper and his pirate brother, Blue. Gus summons his granddaughter, Abigail, home from Virginia, where she's studying at the FBI Academy. When she arrives, she's devastated to find him dead. Murdered. But Abby soon learns that Gus isn't the only one to meet a brutal and untimely end; there've been at least two other victims. Then Captain Blue Anderson starts making ghostly appearances, and the FBI's paranormal investigation unit, the Krewe of Hunters, sends in Agent Malachi Gordon. Abby and Malachi have a similar ability to connect with the dead…and a similar stubbornness. Sparks immediately begin to fly—sparks of attraction and discord. But as the death toll rises, they have to trust each other or they, too, might find themselves among the dead haunting old Savannah!
