Book Description
OUT YONDER? OUT %$ING YONDER? WHERE THE HELL IS OUT YONDER AND WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU FROM? Right over there (pointing) that big clearing up there on the side of that hill. Lets send Dickson out there with a white flag and see if we can get him like a tree. Bet I can bust his ass with one shot, if you will order him to stand still. Roscoe, Texas YOURE FROM ROSCOE, TEXAS? Aw, come on Sir, dont tell me you have actually heard of Roscoe, hell, Rand McNally never heard of it. Capt. Robert Willis of Ruidosa, New Mexico was speechless. But just for a moment. Shaking his head, %$ING ROSCOE, TEXAS, I DONT BELIEVE THIS, I USE TO DRIVE THROUGH THAT WIDE SPOT WITH A GRAIN ELEVATOR ON THE WAY TO COLLEGE STATION. At the mention of College Station, a silly grin slowly spread across my face. He saw this and just about exploded. GO AHEAD BRAWLEY, MAKE MY DAY, JUST ONE LITTLE AGGIE JOKE AND BY GOD, I WILL HAVE YOU SHOT. GET OUT OF MY SIGHT BEFORE I DO IT ANYWAY. I almost saluted before going back inside the center but figured that might indeed be the straw to ruin a fairly good camel.

Book Description
"As the case with her fiction, Berlin's pieces here are as faceted as the brightest diamond." --Kristin Iversen, NYLON NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE. Named a Fall Read by Buzzfeed, Vulture, Newsday and HuffPost A compilation of sketches, photographs, and letters, Welcome Home is an essential nonfiction companion to the stories by Lucia Berlin Before Lucia Berlin died, she was working on a book of previously unpublished autobiographical sketches called Welcome Home. The work consisted of more than twenty chapters that started in 1936 in Alaska and ended (prematurely) in 1966 in southern Mexico. In our publication of Welcome Home, her son Jeff Berlin is filling in the gaps with photos and letters from her eventful, romantic, and tragic life. From Alaska to Argentina, Kentucky to Mexico, New York City to Chile, Berlin’s world was wide. And the writing here is, as we’ve come to expect, dazzling. She describes the places she lived and the people she knew with all the style and wit and heart and humor that readers fell in love with in her stories. Combined with letters from and photos of friends and lovers, Welcome Home is an essential nonfiction companion to A Manual for Cleaning Women and Evening in Paradise.

Book Description
Surrendering your life to Jesus Christ and living a biblical Christian life is the most important and fundamental decision one can make in their life. Depending on when, how and through whom it happened, it can also be the most confusing time if one is not discipled. Important questions such as: am I truly forgiven, what does it mean to be a son/daughter of God, what does it mean to be clothed in a robe of righteousness? And most importantly; once saved always saved? May be left unanswered for a long time. Brother Gery Malanda (Apostle and Leader of House Of Prayer For All Nations-Europe and teacher on TBN Voice of Healing UK) takes an extensive look through the scriptures and in his simplistic style, answers the questions we all ask. Through the parable of the prodigal son, Brother Gery exposes the heart of our Father, the role of Jesus and the Holy Spirit in our walk of salvation. Using scripture, Brother Gery expounds on what God expects from us and most importantly, what we can expect from God. New in your relationship with Jesus Christ? Have you been a Christian for a long time? This book will be helpful in understanding what is your responsibility in this challenging yet amazing, fulfilling and awe inspiring walk with God.

Welcome Home Mama and Boris
Author: Carey Neesley
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 162145116X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Growing up in the well-heeled Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Carey Neesley always thought she and her younger brother, Peter, would never be separated. The children of divorced parents and outcasts in their neighborhood, Carey and Peter supported, loved, and encouraged each other when it seemed no one else cared. It was a bond that grew through the years, and one that made Peter’s eventual decision to enlist in the Army all the more difficult for Carey. With Peter having stepped up to help her raise her young son, Carey was closer than ever to her brother, and the thought of him serving far from home was painful. While stationed in Iraq, Peter befriended a stray dog and her four puppies, only to watch three of the young pups die in the warzone. With only two surviving dogs—Mama and Boris—Peter became determined to save the strays. Carey helped her brother with his mission, but everything changed on Christmas Day in 2007 when word arrived at the Neesley household that Peter had been killed. Amidst the grief of coming to terms with her brother’s death and the turmoil of trying to plan his funeral, Carey devoted herself to bringing Peter’s dogs home to the U.S. It was the final honor she could pay to her brother and a way of keeping a piece of him with her. With the help of an unlikely network of heroes, including an animal rescue organization in Utah, a civilian airline, an Iraqi family, and a private security contractor with military connections, Mama and Boris mad the journey form the streets of Baghdad to Carey’s suburban house. Carey’s mission garnered widespread attention and requests from other soldiers for help in bringing home dogs they had become attached to on deployment, and she continues to work with organizations dedicated to bringing home wartime strays.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
This story is written for all those who believe America's best days still lie ahead. Follow the Walbert family as successive generations of Americans navigate through triumphs and challenges—from the Great Depression through the modern-day global war on terror. As members of the World War II generation, John and Margaret Walbert used the advantages of life in a small Montana town to raise their children and prepare them for the future. Despite John's best efforts, the relationship with his son Billy crumbled. To salvage the deteriorating father-son relationship, the family's minster, Father Alex, used Montana's great outdoors as a leverage point to reconnect father and son. Many of the things Billy learned with his dad and Father Alex served him well as he connected with his own son Luke during America's fight against global terror. This is an uplifting story about how one family successfully passed America's torch of freedom from one generation to the next. It illustrates how the American fabric is truly unique in its ability to continually regenerate.
