Harv was a crook, because it was in his nature. He was a free and wealthy man because he was a master of blackmail and bribery; because he was ruthless against those who threatened him. Red Kane was a cynical, crusading columnist- who'd been publicly after Gunther for a long time. But he never got quite close enough. And then, out of the blue, Red got the lead he'd needed. A retired madam hiding out in the jungles of Brazil was suddenly demanding justice for a murdered girl, a child prostitute who had died at the hands of Harv Gunther. Overnight, Red Kane was to be transformed from a hard-drinking, disappointed man with enough problems in his life to keep him drinking for the next fifty years, to the hammer of God. But even with God behind him, Red Kane would have to decide whether getting Harv Gunther was worth the life of his own wife. . .See photos for additional content. . .

These characters are rooted in their small-town traditions and beliefs; but his doesn't mean they are inflexible, prejudiced, or single-minded. In fact, these beliefs ground them and enable them to examine their world and its events with a solid foundation of faith mixed with social consciousness.Are the events coincidences Or, does God have a purpose in mind, even in murder Watch for the clues that ultimately lead to real answers.The result is a delightfully lively, clear, clean production filled with a fun group of disparate characters whose choices and decisions affect and reflect a small town's God-fearing approaches to life, justice, and death.All mystery readers will be delighted with its wry observational style and the humor which is embedded into a search for the truth.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Description:Take My Hand is an invitation to experience a year of preaching through the eyes of a first-year pastor. Andrew Taylor-Troutman reflects on his experience of ministry as a dynamic exchange between his theological education and the people in the pews. Each chapter consists of Taylor-Troutman's reflections about a particular aspect of living as a faith community and concludes with a sermon exploring similar themes and ideas. As this book journeys through the Christian liturgical year, Taylor-Troutman considers a wide range of contemporary church issues, including the role of children in worship and the communal practice of Sabbath. He discusses topics as diverse as the Rapture, the death penalty, and church league softball. Along the way, readers will laugh at Sunday morning bloopers, study biblical texts from new perspectives, wrestle with theological questions, and discover parallels between their own experience of faith and the life of this small, rural congregation. More than just a retrospective summary of events, Take My Hand poignantly illustrates how a pastor's work on Sunday morning grows out of his or her engagement with the hopes and fears of daily life, and the inspiring faith of men, women, and children in a church.Endorsements:'A wonderful blending of communal observations and deep spiritual insight.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Written historically authentic, Jenice Graham Benedict's true-life novel, IN THE LAND OF COTTON, tells of her family through seven protagonists. The novel is set in America's mid-nineteenth century, moves forward a hundred years through the Second Industrial Revolution, and ends in the modern twentieth century. Each of the characters typifies a segment of the American dream, living it in his or her own way, along with their sacrifices. Benedict's epic is geared to American history lovers, Civil War buffs, true love romantics, adventurists, genealogists, Christian faith groups, and Southern culture aficionados. The four parts of the book are written in either first person or third person to deliver the unique personality of each character. Beginning with the author's great-great-grandfather, read how dutiful Andrew Hancock wished to exercise the fundamental right of the pursuit of happiness and was willing to fight for Alabama and his family's way of life as a Confederate soldier in the Civil War. Learn how Talitha Polk Hancock struggled to conquer personal tragedy and gender inequalities while her young son, A.J., relentlessly worked as a cotton crop field hand during Reconstruction, to lift them both out of poverty. Understand how Marcus Boone achieved his dream of owning farmland in North Texas while his wife Callie struggled to keep their dugout homestead intact and family fed in ruthless conditions. Appreciate how Methodist circuit rider preacher Reverend M. L. Boone and his wife Ruby wished to serve God by faith and example, and spent their lives helping others in Texas to achieve Christian salvation. The novel's characters constantly struggle to keep their health, stamina, faith, and love intact while adapting to their fates in isolated Southern communities. Many of the protagonists live without electricity or conveniences, and experience volatile social unrest, bankruptcy, epidemics, bigotry, gender disparity, two world wars, and the stifling subjugation of economic depression. In due course, some benefited from the upturn of urbanization, medical advancements, national prosperity, and lastly, the Technological Revolution with its marvel of mass communications, computers, nuclear power, and the Space Age. IN THE LAND OF COTTON is a novel about the enduring essence of family and the incredible resilience of the Southern American spirit. No matter what genre is favored, clearly first-time novelist Jenice Benedict is a new, creative voice in the literary world.
