Book Description
Sabrina Wright reveals some of her experiences and personal challenges of walking in God's shadow. She hopes to show others how they can overcome everyday struggles to find comfort and peace in God Almighty and with those in their lives. Readers will parallel some of their own life struggles with those apparent in this book. Sabrina shares biblical truths that she has learned that will help anyone through a time of struggle. She has learned to praise the Lord through the storms and after the storms as God has delivered her through them. There is an excitement of victory that is apparent in this story of experiencing God and His wonderful will for us. Sabrina talks about how experiences of unfair expectations, un-acceptance and having things out of Godly focus can keep us from staying in the peace and protection of God's shadow. She explains how following God's commandments, reading His word, and being in prayer can help to ease the burden of everyday life situations. Sabrina Wright was raised in a Christian home in Wethersfield, NY. She has a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and opened her own Christian preschool where many children have learned the basic truths of God's love and His many miracles. Sabrina is married to her husband Kevin. They have one child. Psalms 91:1,2 "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'"

Soon the family's world of carefully guarded royal privilege is swept up in the chaos of revolution and forced exodus. Over the next four years, as she endures the deaths of family members, starvation, and brutal forced labour, Raami clings to the only remaining vestige of childhood - the mythical legends and poems told to her by her father.

Pages : 329
Book Description
Detective Peter Decker and his wife, Rina Lazarus, risk life and limb to solve a pair of brutal murders that may be tied to a crime from more than twenty years ago in this intense and addictive mystery from New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman. On a quiet suburban street in upstate Greenbury, New York, the brutally beaten body of a young man is discovered in the woods adjacent to an empty vacation home. Twenty-six-year-old Brady Neil a resident of the neighboring town of Hamilton, had no criminal record, few friends, worked full-time, and attended community college. But as Detective Peter Decker learns, the clean-cut kid is linked to the criminal world. When Brady was a baby, his father, Brandon Gratz, was convicted of robbing and killing the owners of a local jewelry store. While Gratz and his partner, Kyle Masterson, admitted to the robbery, they swore they left the owners, Glen and Lydia Levine, very much alive. The experienced detective knows there’s more to this homicide case than the records show. As he digs into Gratz’s past, Decker begins to suspect that the son’s murder may be connected to the father’s sins. Before he can put together the pieces, Decker finds out that one of Brady Neil’s friends, Joseph Boch—aka Boxer—has gone missing. Heading to Boch’s house with his temporary new partner, Hamilton PD cop Lenora Baccus, they discover a bloodbath. Who would savagely kill two innocent men—and why? Finding the answers will require all of Decker’s skill and knowledge, the help of his fellow Greenbury detectives, Tyler McAdams and Kevin Butterfield, and information gleaned from his wife Rina’s behind the scenes investigation to put all the pieces of this deadly puzzle together . . . and see justice done.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Have you ever had a time when you needed to hear a word of encouragement from a loved one or a friend? Perhaps there have been times when just a few words from someone of trust would give you that extra push you needed to forge ahead in spite of your circumstances. Family and friends may sincerely love us, but there is no love like the love of God. People will not always be available, but the presence of God is never-ending. He will speak to your spirit at the most unexpected times. Many of these messages spoke comfort to my heart more than twenty-five years ago when I was enduring great struggles and trudging through challenging times. There are other messages that gave me divine direction during more current situations. During the seasons when I took on caring for elderly family members, God spoke strength to my weariness. When finances were challenged, God spoke peace to my soul. In times of fear and when doubts plagued my own God-given abilities, God spoke courage to my heart. When I felt lost, confused, disappointed, at an energy deficit, or just desperately needed to smile, God provided the words of assurance and hope that helped me to press onward. The power, grace, and love of God spoken in His words of hope are timeless! I am so grateful for His patience with me because I am finally heeding the call to share these messages with you. It is my prayer that you will also find hope, healing, and great grace in these words from God. Let Him speak to you! Pass a message on to someone longing to be blessed! Allow God to encourage you! Let Him put a smile on your face! Trust Him to guide you! I promise you, He will carry you through every situation! Listen...God has Messages of Hope!

In the Shadow of the Sabertooth
Author: Doug Peacock

Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
"Doug Peacock, as ever, walks point for all of us. Not since Bill McKibben’s The End of Nature has a book of such import been presented to readers. Peacock’s intelligence defies measure. His is a beautiful, feral heart, always robust, relentless with its love and desire for the human race to survive, and be sculpted by the coming hard times: to learn a magnificent humility, even so late in the game. Doug Peacock’s mind is a marvel—there could be no more generous act than the writing of this book. It is a crowning achievement in a long career sent in service of beauty and the dignity of life."—Rick Bass, author of Why I Came West and The Lives of Rocks Our climate is changing fast. The future is uncertain, probably fiery, and likely terrifying. Yet shifting weather patterns have threatened humans before, right here in North America, when people first colonized this continent. About 15,000 years ago, the weather began to warm, melting the huge glaciers of the Late Pleistocene. In this brand new landscape, humans managed to adapt to unfamiliar habitats and dangerous creatures in the midst of a wildly fluctuating climate. What was it like to live with huge pack-hunting lions, saber-toothed cats, dire wolves, and gigantic short-faced bears, to hunt now extinct horses, camels, and mammoth? Are there lessons for modern people lingering along this ancient trail? The shifting weather patterns of today—what we call "global warming"—will far exceed anything our ancestors previously faced. Doug Peacock's latest narrative explores the full circle of climate change, from the death of the megafauna to the depletion of the ozone, in a deeply personal story that takes readers from Peacock's participation in an archeological dig for early Clovis remains in Livingston, MT, near his home, to the death of the local whitebark pine trees in the same region, as a result of changes in the migration pattern of pine beetles with the warming seasons. Writer and adventurer Doug Peacock has spent the past fifty years wandering the earth's wildest places, studying grizzly bears and advocating for the preservation of wilderness. He is the author of Grizzly Years; Baja; and Walking It Off and co-author of The Essential Grizzly. Peacock was named a 2007 Guggenheim Fellow, and a 2011 Lannan Fellow.

Pages : 266
Book Description
Shadow people are some of the most mysterious entities in the known universe, and Mike Ricksecker has experienced many, starting with a tall, dark humanoid figure that appeared in his room as a child. While examining who or what these dark beings may actually be and sharing the ominous experiences of several others, Ricksecker recounts his interactions with shadows, which also include a black mass that formed in a bedroom where a girl had seen an entity with red eyes, a crawler that crept its way around an abandoned desecrated church, and many more. A Walk In The Shadows addresses these tantalizing questions: What are the different types of shadow people and their characteristics? What's the relationship between shadow people and sleep paralysis? Are shadow entities interdimensional beings or, perhaps, players in a simulated universe? Are shadow people evil, or have they been miscast as the darkest of the dark in the supernatural realm? Are some shadow people actually extraterrestrials? What does a renowned demonologist with nearly 50 years of experience have to say about shadow entities? A Walk In The Shadows explores the secrets of the dark while unveiling an enigmatic world feared by many and misunderstood by most.

Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
We usually live our lives in vicious cycles. We hardly can get out of them or break loose from their control. Sometimes they are related to some place, time, person, or event. Other times they are related to an idea so deeply planted inside us that we can't come out of its cocoon. Maybe they are related to a connection that we can't be free from its restrictions. Finally, sometimes they are related to ourselves; body and soul. We invent those circles or they are imposed upon us. Then we live within their borders. We rejoice them first, and then we complain. Or, we complain from them first, and then we give up ourselves to them happily. We try to break loose a lot, although the constraint, unconsciously, makes up happy. Or, we often look for a constraint to protect us from what our souls were created and imprinted to love; the freedom. We struggle with ourselves, others, and life; although we mostly don't know what we really want. Moreover, we do not dare to look for what we want. This is why most of us live in ... vicious circles.
