Book Description
In Craig Stewart’s, One Thing for Certain, Two Things for Sure he reminds us that there are no mistakes or accidents in life—that everything happens as it should. Through the dissolution of a sordid affair with a married man, friendships, and personal setbacks he teaches us the art of letting go, and adapting to whatever comes our way. Stewart allows us, the reader, an intimate look into his personal life through stories that center on dating, love, fear, fate and destiny. “I hope my story, these words, will help navigate the lives of men and women everywhere.” Craig Stewart’s groundbreaking debut memoir, Words Never Spoken transcended race, gender and sexuality. Dubbed a literary piece of artwork, Words Never Spoken gave voice to men and women who are conflicted sexually, and frustrated by the complexities of being gay, bisexual or trans. Stewart returns with the long awaited sequel, One Thing for Certain, Two Things for Sure, A Memoir continued. “I promised myself years ago that I wouldn’t be the kind of writer, artist, who puts out a project because people want to hear more from me. Rather, I’d be the kind of artist that only puts out a work because I have something to say, and I’ve kept that promise.” www.CraigTheWriterStewart.com

Or does he? As the elevator stops on the sixth floor, on comes Buck. Buck, Will finds out, is who gave Shawn the gun before Will took the gun. Buck tells Will to check that the gun is even loaded. And that’s when Will sees that one bullet is missing. And the only one who could have fired Shawn’s gun was Shawn. Huh. Will didn’t know that Shawn had ever actually USED his gun. Bigger huh. BUCK IS DEAD. But Buck’s in the elevator? Just as Will’s trying to think this through, the door to the next floor opens. A teenage girl gets on, waves away the smoke from Dead Buck’s cigarette.

And stray bullets had cut through the playground, and Will had tried to cover her, but she was hit anyway, and so what she wants to know, on that fifth floor elevator stop, is, what if Will, Will with the gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, MISSES. And so it goes, the whole long way down, as the elevator stops on each floor, and at each stop someone connected to his brother gets on to give Will a piece to a bigger story than the one he thinks he knows. A story that might never know an END…if Will gets off that elevator. Told in short, fierce staccato narrative verse, Long Way Down is a fast and furious, dazzlingly brilliant look at teenage gun violence, as could only be told by Jason Reynolds.

Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story
Author: D. T. Max
Publisher: Penguin

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
The acclaimed New York Times–bestselling biography and “emotionally detailed portrait of the artist as a young man” (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times) In the first biography of the iconic David Foster Wallace, D.T. Max paints the portrait of a man, self-conscious, obsessive and struggling to find meaning. If Wallace was right when he declared he was “frightfully and thoroughly conventional,” it is only because over the course of his short life and stunning career, he wrestled intimately and relentlessly with the fundamental anxiety of being human. In his characteristic lucid and quick-witted style, Max untangles Wallace’s anxious sense of self, his volatile and sometimes abusive connection with women, and above all, his fraught relationship with fiction as he emerges with his masterpiece Infinite Jest. Written with the cooperation of Wallace’s family and friends and with access to hundreds of unpublished letters, manuscripts and journals, this captivating biography unveils the life of the profoundly complicated man who gave voice to what we thought we could not say.

One Taken
Author: Brett Preston
Publisher:

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Are you a Christian? Are you sure? One Taken is the book a Christian in doubt about their faith would receive if they asked a lawyer to turn the relevant verses of the New Testament into an easy-to-follow manual on how to be sure they are a Christian. Why would someone turn to a lawyer with questions about their faith? Lawyers have a valuable set of skills. They typically use those skills to help clients work through complex legal problems, but those skills are readily transferable to working through other kinds of problems as well. One Taken provides uncertain Christians a lawyer's treatment of everything the New Testament says about how to be sure you are a Christian. It collects all of the verses that, taken together, answer that question, and presents them in an organized, highly accessible way with limited commentary. "The Bible tells us that blessed is the man who delights in the Word of the Lord and meditates on it day and night. Brett's thought-provoking book does just that. It takes you on a journey of wrestling with the complexities of the Scripture and discovering who Jesus is.... In the end, we all need Jesus!" -Tom Allen, Head Football Coach, Indiana University, Big Ten and AFCA Coach of the Year "Brilliantly organized and executed, convicting and encouraging, One Taken provides clarity and guidance for those striving to be true disciples of Jesus." -Lance Curry, Appellate Attorney "One Taken allows us to examine our lives and reach our own verdict on our Christianity." -Art Dykstra, Pastor, Feather Sound Church "One Taken is a well-researched and informative roadmap of the answers to questions anyone seeking Christianity must ask themselves." -Steve Farrar, Retired Attorney
