Book Description
A record of an unbelievable succession of events that occurred (or not occurred as the case may be), and spiralled catastrophically out of control, the grand finale is the injustice to Gio. This book is my reaction to those events and the phrase “All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing”. The blatant injustice and disregard for his human rights/life motivated me to write this book and fight for justice for Gio. Writing down the events has strengthened my emotional resilience, but that is just a bi-product as the sole purpose of writing the book is to clear Gio's name. Gio is an innocent man who doesn’t deserve the treatment he is receiving which threatens his life.

From one of the brightest and most acclaimed new lights in YA fiction, a fantastic new novel about a bi Black boy finding first love . . . and facing the return of the mother who abandoned his preacher family when he was nine. There's always been a hole in Gio's life. Not because he's into both guys and girls. Not because his father has some drinking issues. Not because his friends are always bringing him their drama. No, the hole in Gio's life takes the shape of his birth mom, who left Gio, his brother, and his father when Gio was nine years old. For eight years, he never heard a word from her . . . and now, just as he's started to get his life together, she's back. It's hard for Gio to know what to do. Can he forgive her like she wants to be forgiven? Or should he tell her she lost her chance to be in his life? Complicating things further, Gio's started to hang out with David, a new guy on the basketball team. Are they friends? More than friends? At first, Gio's not sure . . . especially because he's not sure what he wants from anyone right now. There are no easy answers to love -- whether it's family love or friend love or romantic love. In Things We Couldn't Say, Jay Coles, acclaimed author of Tyler Johnson Was Here, shows us a guy trying to navigate love in all its ambiguity -- hoping at the other end he'll be able to figure out who is and who he should be.

Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
A young couple has just moved into a rental property in the Denver suburb of Aurora, Colorado. They are expecting a child, and this house is supposed to be the beginning of something special. Unfortunately, it does not take long to realize that something is not quite right. The first night in this new home introduces them to a terror that shakes them to the core. Young Gio and Bridgette call a priest to come and bless the house only to find the priest cannot help them with this nightmare. Pastor Anthony Corelli is an exorcist who is recovering from a case that almost cost him his life. Still filled with the grief of losing a team member, Pastor Corelli is with family and friends celebrating the adoption of their new daughter. Unexpectedly, the phone rings. It is Bridgette Wilson. The desperation in her voice leaves no doubt that she is struggling with a demonic infestation. Pastor Corelli and his team decide to head out right away. By the time Anthony and his team arrive at the home of Gio and Bridgette, they are greeted by the Aurora Police Department. It turns out that a horrible homicide has been committed, and the suspect just happens to live next door. Soon Anthony and his team find themselves face-to-face with a detective who is not very accepting of an exorcist clouding up his investigation. A demonic entity, a series of homicides, a murderer on the loose, and a plethora of secrets all stand in the way of Anthony’s goal of helping this family. Just when Anthony thinks he has this case figured out, a new twist sets him right back at the beginning. He quickly realizes that this is no ordinary demon. This is an ancient evil that has been tormenting the human race for centuries. His only hope is to rely on God. If you thought The Struggle was full of twists and turns, The Sacrifice will have you on the edge of your seat. The Sacrifice will have you continuously second-guessing your theories. The ending will not only rattle you to your core; it will force you to reconsider your theology on the demonic. When the dust settles, many casualties will have taken their toll. Skeptical detectives will have no other choice but to realize that demons are real, and they are capable of mass destruction. In spite of the many losses, Jesus comes through in a miraculous way, demonstrating his love for his children. Anthony and his team will be humbled but strengthened as they continue to help those living in The Struggle.

The Making of the Modern Corporation
Author: Carlo Taviani
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000590291
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
This book traces the origins of a financial institution, the modern corporation, in Genoa and reconstructs its diffusion in England, the Netherlands, and France. At its inception, the Casa di San Giorgio (1407–1805) was entrusted with managing the public debt in Genoa. Over time, it took on powers we now ascribe to banks and states, accruing financial characteristics and fiscal, political, and territorial powers. As one of the earliest central banks, it ruled territories and local populations for almost a century. It controlled strategic Genoese possessions near and far, including the island of Corsica, the city of Famagusta (in Cyprus), and trading posts in Crimea, the Black Sea, the Lunigiana in northern Tuscany, and various towns in Liguria. In the early sixteenth century, in his Florentine Histories (Book VIII, Chapter 29), Niccolò Machiavelli was the first to analyze the relationship between the Casa di San Giorgio’s financial and territorial powers, declaring its possession of territories as the basis of its ascendancy. Later, the founders of some of the earliest corporations, including the Dutch East India Company (1602), the Bank of England (1694), and John Law’s Mississippi Company (1720) in France, referenced the model of the Casa di San Giorgio.

Pages : 254
Book Description
Grace Santangelo was innocent, reserved, and obedient. At fifteen, she dutifully assisted in the day-to-day operation of her parents' boardinghouse in Illinois. Never in her wildest dreams did Grace imagine meeting and falling in love with boarder number 3, Gio Rivia, a handsome Italian immigrant that was eight years her senior. Marriage quickly followed. The strong, determined, visionary characteristics that Grace admired about Gio when they were courting became challenges in their marriage. Gio's salvation and developing relationship with God united the family for a period of time, but his wife's debilitating illness and an indiscreet sister-in-law took its toll on his new commitment. Alone in her isolated bed, Grace fervently prayed for God's grace to cover her children all the days of their lives. God, in his merciful goodness and grace, did just that in spite of it all.
