Book Description
Living the American dream, Jason believes he is playing by the rules. Blessed with Callie, a loving wife, and a successful career; life is good. However, an ambitious nature has turned to obsession rarely decorated with other aspects of a fulfilling life. Over the years, a desire has become a behemoth – ethically based and ruthlessly applied. But this week, something is different. Unsettling dreams have morphed into traumatic experiences real and restless enough to feel in the marrow of his bones. Jason’s nights have become a life-threatening thrill-ride that remains an enduring psychological burden by day. What has brought this on? The empath and the expert call the dreams a paranormal phenomenon—internally triggered by tension between mind and spirit – and warn they cannot go on indefinitely. There are only Seven Full Days to find answers and now some of them have passed. As time grows short, Jason must find clues while it’s daytime because when the night comes… Seven Full Days is not directed at assigning blame. The author is careful to portray the El Mina dream experiences as realistically as his imagination, aided by that very strange feeling he encountered while visiting El Mina would allow – and to do so as benignly as possible. This is not ‘who did this’ but rather ‘what happened. A debut novel tells the story of a rising Atlanta businessman visited by disturbing dreams of the slavery era. …Shelton writes in a descriptive prose that captures his characters’ emotional states in vivid detail: the waking Jason…(is) forced to mete out increasingly demeaning admonishments to his black co-workers on behalf of his white managers. At night, however, Jason watches from inside the head of his ancient black host—without the ability to comment or control the man’s actions—as the figure is captured, placed in chains, and marched to a dungeon…While the premise of the book might sound heavy-handed, the author shapes it with a surprising amount of grace and nuance. —Kirkus Review

Seven Days That Divide the World
Author: John C. Lennox
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 031049219X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
What did the writer of Genesis mean by “the first day”? Is it a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, am I denying the authority of Scripture? In response to the continuing controversy over the interpretation of the creation narrative in Genesis, John Lennox proposes a succinct method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture. With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while staying faithful to the biblical narrative. He moves beyond a simple response to the controversy, insisting that Genesis teaches us far more about the God of Jesus Christ and about God’s intention for creation than it does about the age of the earth. With this book, Lennox offers a careful yet accessible introduction to a scientifically-savvy, theologically-astute, and Scripturally faithful interpretation of Genesis.

"I'll shoot one policeman every day, until you arrest the murderer of Hanneke Sloet," says the e-mail to the South African Police Services. And then the sniper turns threat into reality. Bennie Griessel has to reopen the Sloet dossier. The case is 40 days old, the trail has gone cold. No motive, no leads, just a set of nude photographs, a very complicated business transaction, and immense pressure from the brass, the media, and the relentless, unfathomable sniper. And through it all, Griessel has to keep his love interest, the alcoholic, former singing sensation Alexa Barnard, sober for her comeback concert, cope with his daughter's neanderthal boyfriend, his son's shenanigans, and his new partner's idiosyncrasies--and try to tame his own all-consuming lust for the soothing powers of the bottle. Seven days of hell.
