This is a wise and excellent devotional for anyone involved in the land of sickness, be it as the afflicted or as the caregiver. - Publishers Weekly Richard L. Morgan's From Grim to Green Pastures writes of reflections that came to him during his time of illness. This book offers 81 two-page meditations properly sized for those who are being cared for, or those who busily care for them. His excerpts about a spirituality of illness, serve us well. - Martin E. Marty, The Christian Century For the day when I am ill again I keep a mental list of books I would take to the hospital. From Grim to Greener Pastures joins that list.

Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
"Drumbeats in the empty forest. No drummer: just drums. Night falls, and the drums beat, and a shadow comes creeping out of the woods... That's how the killing starts." Linnet shrugs off the lurid stories about Lynx Leap. But she's a guest in the huge, decaying house in the north woods, and it's hard not to get spooked. Especially at night, when she hears drumbeats, and voices crying. And when something stalks her in the stairwell and in the attic, with its menagerie of stuffed dead animals. Her friend Mark is chasing other shadows. He believes his beloved Great-Uncle Lot, the last owner of Lynx Leap, was murdered. Before he died, Lot tagged Mark to find the truth behind the horror stories. Horrors that really happened, scattered across time, but with oddly similar details. Digging deep, the two teens unearth an ancient crime that still has to be paid for. Lot's murder was the shock that woke the sleeping hunter. Unless they can end the cycle of death and vengeance, it's all about to happen again.

Leap Year
Author: Etienne van Heerden
Publisher: Penguin Random House South Africa
ISBN: 0143528521
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
God would never have designed such a species.' So says Seamus Butler of his famous fall-goats, the genetic strain his father inadvertently bred on this Settler family's farm. They have an inborn fault: when startled, they keel over instantly in a dead faint. But it is precisely this which makes them worth their weight in gold, as a single fall-goat placed in a flock of sheep becomes the only prey when an enemy strikes, leaving the flock unharmed. These pathetic goats, with their mocking yellow eyes, have given the Butlers wealth and influence in the Eastern Cape - important factors in a time of political upheaval - but even they are unprepared for the moment when oil is discovered right in the middle of Port Cecil, the local harbour town. The implications of this discovery bring the local black civic organisation's demand for a unified city council sharply into focus. At the forefront of these aspirations is MaNdlovu Thandani, larger than life and seemingly indestructible. In opposition: Seamus Butler himself - a man whose dark moods and recurring depressions surge relentlessly through him. And, while history dictates that these two separate worlds will inevitably converge, the families on both sides cannot remain unaffected, threatening to fall apart beneath the weight of their place in history. This is the backdrop to the story of the stud master of the farm known as Fata Morgana. It is a story which carves a path through the lives of the people of this Eastern Cape district, all of them inextricably involved, inescapably trapped in their heritage during a time when beauty and cruelty, violence and hope all become entangled.
