Co., 3, A literary tour de force of a detective's ceaseless hunt for an elusive criminalBy Gaslight is a deeply atmospheric, haunting novel about the unending quest that has shaped a man's life.William Pinkerton is already famous, the son of the most notorious detective of all time, when he descends into the underworld of Victorian London in pursuit of a new lead on the fabled con Edward Shade. William's father died without ever finding Shade, but William is determined to drag the thief out of the shadows.Adam Foole is a gentleman without a past, haunted by a love affair ten years gone. When he receives a letter from his lost beloved, he returns to London to find her. What he learns of her fate, and its connection to the man known as Shade, will force him to confront a grief he thought long-buried.A fog-enshrouded hunt through sewers, opium dens, drawing rooms, and séance halls ensues, creating the most unlikely of bonds: between Pinkerton, the great detective, and Foole, the one man who may hold the key to finding Edward Shade.Steven Price's dazzling, riveting By Gaslight moves from the diamond mines of South Africa to the battlefields of the Civil War, on a journey into a cityscape of grief, trust, and its breaking, where what we share can bind us even against our darker selves., Picador, 2017, 2.5, New York: Emerson Books Inc., 1952.

So what answers does God provide to challenging questions like: Am I really saved? Am I going to heaven? How can I know for sure?Renowned pastor and author John MacArthur believes every Christian should enjoy the reality and security of being saved without a doubt. Drawing from a background rich in Bible study and teaching, John examines key scriptures, tackles tough questions, and sheds light on the true nature of salvation. Throughout, you'll be encouraged to embrace the perfect grace found in Jesus Christ.Saved without a Doubt includes a guide for both personal and group study, which features discovery questions, suggestions for prayer, and activities, all designed to connect life-changing truths with everyday living., David C. Cook, 2011-07, 6, New York Times best-selling author Caroline Myss draws from her years as a medical intuitive to show that healing is not only physical, it is also a mystical phenomenon that transcends reason.Inspired by ordinary people who overcame a wide array of physical and psychological ailments - from rheumatoid arthritis to cancer - Caroline dove into the works of the great mystics to gain a deeper understanding of healing's spiritual underpinnings. Based on these studies, she demonstrates how conventional and holistic medicine often fall short in times of need. Both systems rely upon a logical approach to curing illness when there is nothing reasonable about the emotional, psychological, or spiritual influences behind any ailment.Integral to this mystical healing approach is the engagement of the soul, which we experience through exploring our seven shadow passions, building an empowered inner self around our seven inherent graces, and learning how to work with the mystical laws that govern it.This knowledge holds the key to understanding what it means to defy gravity and break through the boundaries of ordinary thought.You can heal any illness. You can channel grace. And you can learn to live fearlessly., Hay House, 2011-01, 3, Very Good.

The focus is on the explosive debates and the decision-making in the Oval Office, the Situation Room, Air Force One and the White House residence.Woodward draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand sources, meeting notes, personal diaries, files and documents. Often with day-by-day details, dialogue and documentation, Fear tracks key foreign issues from North Korea, Afghanistan, Iran, the Middle East, NATO, China and Russia. It reports in-depth on Trump's key domestic issues particularly trade and tariff disputes, immigration, tax legislation, the Paris Climate Accord and the racial violence in Charlottesville in 2017.Fear presents vivid details of the negotiations between Trump's attorneys and Robert Mueller, the special counsel in the Russia investigation, laying out for the first time the meeting-by-meeting discussions and strategies. It discloses how senior Trump White House officials joined together to steal draft orders from the president's Oval Office desk so he would not issue directives that would jeopardize top secret intelligence operations."It was no less than an administrative coup d'état," Woodward writes, "a nervous breakdown of the executive power of the most powerful country in the world.", Simon & Schuster, 2018, 3, Owings Mills, Maryland: Ottenheimer Publishers, Inc, 1964.

Everybody's Normal Till You Get to Know Them (Hardcover IN DUST JACKET CONDITION FAIR BOOK HAS HIGHLIGHTING IN UNDERLINING SIGNED BY PREVIOUS OWNER-PUBLISHED BY ZONDERVAN-2003 COPYRIGHT) by John Ortberg Normal? Who s Normal? Not you, that s for sure! No one you ve ever met, either. None of us are normal according to God s definition, and the closer we get to each other, the plainer that becomes. Yet for all our quirks, sins, and jagged edges, we need each other. Community is more than just a word&#8213; it is one of our most fundamental requirements. So how do flawed, abnormal people such as ourselves master the forces that can drive us apart and come together in the life-changing relationships God designed us for? In Everybody s Normal Till You Get to Know Them, teacher and best-selling author John Ortberg zooms in on the things that make community tick. You ll get a thought-provoking look at God s heart, at others, and at yourself. Even better, you ll gain wisdom and tools for drawing closer to others in powerful, impactful ways. With humor, insight, and a gift for storytelling, Ortberg shows how community pays tremendous dividends in happiness, health, support, and growth. It s where all of us weird, unwieldy people encounter God s love in tangible ways and discover the transforming power of being loved, accepted, and valued just the way we are. The need for community is woven into the very fabric of our being. Nothing else can substitute for the life-giving benefits of connecting with others&#8213; not even God. He won t preempt the way he himself has designed us to reflect his own intensely relational nature. But there s a hitch in our experience of community, says John Ortberg: We re all weird. Folks around us may seem normal enough, but just wait till we get to know them&#8213; and they get to know us. The unhealthy, sinful ways we respond to life in a fallen world are hardly God s idea of normal, and they can make us as unhuggable as porcupines. We face the porcupine dilemma, says Ortberg: We need each other, but how do we get close without getting hurt? How do we get past all those quills and grow together in Christ? In Everybody s Normal Till You Get to Know Them, Ortberg once again reveals his gift for sharing profound insights using a lighten-up approach. With winsome humor and a fondness for well-spun stories, he pops the myth of normalcy and hands us the keys to creating and sustaining relationships. God s dream for community encompasses the redemption of all spheres of life, he says. Who doesn t want like to be liked, to be wanted, to have solid, satisfying friendships! Ortberg shows what such relationships are made of. He reveals the benefits of authenticity&#8213; what it means to live with an unveiled face, as the Bible puts it. He encourages us to trade the stones it s so easy to cast at others for acceptance. He opens our eyes and heart to empathy, the art of reading people. And he takes us through the ins and outs of conflict, forgiveness, confrontation, inclusion, and gratitude. The principles and discussion questions in this book are down-to-earth. They re for real people living in a real world, and are intended to help us count the practical cost of relationship and then pay it&#8213; because in all the rewards and struggles of community, we re investing in something beyond our comprehension. You could call it heaven. You could call it home. It s the place where all of us are headed, all of us belong, and all of us will be normal at last., Zondervan, 2003, 2.25<

A master storyteller. --Elmer Kelton About t he Author MATT BRAUN is a fourth generation Westerner, steeped in the tradition and lore of the frontier era. His books reflect a heritage rich with the truths of that bygone time.

Like his ancestors, he has spent most of his life wanderin g the mountains and plains of the West. His heritage and his cont ribution to Western literature resulted in his appointment by the Governor of Oklahoma as a Territorial Marshal. Braun is the aut hor of forty-seven novels and four nonfiction works, including Bl ack Fox, which was made into a CBS miniseries. Western Writers of America awarded Braun the prestigious Spur Award for his novel T he Kincaids and the 2004 Wister Award for Lifetime Achievement in Western Literature. Excerpt. ® Reprinted by permission. All rig hts reserved. Tombstone and The Spoilers THE SPOILERSAuthor's Not eThe Spoilers is for the most part a true story. In 1882, San Fra ncisco was the wildest, the wickedest, and certainly the most dan gerous city in the West. The cowtowns and mining camps, by compar ison, were tame stufff. Host to the Barbary Coast and Chinatown, not to mention a waterfront steeped in infamy, the city by the ba y was a cosmopolitan hellhole. In that day and time, it was consi dered the roughest, and by far the most depraved, metropolis on t he North American Continent.Yet, during this same era, San Franci sco was the premier city of the Old West. A financial center, a p lace of sophistication and culture, it was already a mythical won der famed for its natural beauty and idyllic setting. Beneath the surface, however, there was an unholy marriage between underworl d vice lords and corrupt politicians. Their alliance, bolstered b y savage methods and a callous disregard for human life, was to r ule San Francisco for nearly aquarter-century. Their downfall, wh en it came, happened very much as described in the story that fol lows.The characters who people The Spoilers are real. Their names are unchanged, and the diabolic manner in which they pillaged Sa n Francisco required no invention. Some license has been taken wi th events and dates, but the spoilers themselves are, if anything , less formidable than they were in real life. Luke Starbuck repr esents a breed apart. A detective and manhunter, he relied on wit s and guts, and when necessary, a fast gun. His assignment in The Spoilers borders more on fact than fiction.Tombstone copyright © 1981 by Matthew Braun.

Everybody's Normal Till You Get to Know Them (Hardcover IN DUST JACKET CONDITION FAIR BOOK HAS HIGHLIGHTING IN UNDERLINING SIGNED BY PREVIOUS OWNER-PUBLISHED BY ZONDERVAN-2003 COPYRIGHT) by John Ortberg Normal? Who s Normal? Not you, that s for sure! No one you ve ever met, either. None of us are normal according to God s definition, and the closer we get to each other, the plainer that becomes. Yet for all our quirks, sins, and jagged edges, we need each other. Community is more than just a word&#8213; it is one of our most fundamental requirements. So how do flawed, abnormal people such as ourselves master the forces that can drive us apart and come together in the life-changing relationships God designed us for? In Everybody s Normal Till You Get to Know Them, teacher and best-selling author John Ortberg zooms in on the things that make community tick. You ll get a thought-provoking look at God s heart, at others, and at yourself. Even better, you ll gain wisdom and tools for drawing closer to others in powerful, impactful ways. With humor, insight, and a gift for storytelling, Ortberg shows how community pays tremendous dividends in happiness, health, support, and growth. It s where all of us weird, unwieldy people encounter God s love in tangible ways and discover the transforming power of being loved, accepted, and valued just the way we are. The need for community is woven into the very fabric of our being. Nothing else can substitute for the life-giving benefits of connecting with others&#8213; not even God. He won t preempt the way he himself has designed us to reflect his own intensely relational nature. But there s a hitch in our experience of community, says John Ortberg: We re all weird. Folks around us may seem normal enough, but just wait till we get to know them&#8213; and they get to know us. The unhealthy, sinful ways we respond to life in a fallen world are hardly God s idea of normal, and they can make us as unhuggable as porcupines. We face the porcupine dilemma, says Ortberg: We need each other, but how do we get close without getting hurt? How do we get past all those quills and grow together in Christ? In Everybody s Normal Till You Get to Know Them, Ortberg once again reveals his gift for sharing profound insights using a lighten-up approach. With winsome humor and a fondness for well-spun stories, he pops the myth of normalcy and hands us the keys to creating and sustaining relationships. God s dream for community encompasses the redemption of all spheres of life, he says. Who doesn t want like to be liked, to be wanted, to have solid, satisfying friendships! Ortberg shows what such relationships are made of. He reveals the benefits of authenticity&#8213; what it means to live with an unveiled face, as the Bible puts it. He encourages us to trade the stones it s so easy to cast at others for acceptance. He opens our eyes and heart to empathy, the art of reading people. And he takes us through the ins and outs of conflict, forgiveness, confrontation, inclusion, and gratitude. The principles and discussion questions in this book are down-to-earth. They re for real people living in a real world, and are intended to help us count the practical cost of relationship and then pay it&#8213; because in all the rewards and struggles of community, we re investing in something beyond our comprehension. You could call it heaven. You could call it home. It s the place where all of us are headed, all of us belong, and all of us will be normal at last., Zondervan, 2003, 2.25<
