Download or read book Aunt Lillian written by Mary E. Snyder and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aunt Lillian is a chilling story of bitterness and unforgiveness. It is a memoir that compels the reader to jump out of the author's life and into his own family. As he or she "river rafts" through many sequences, forgiveness becomes an imposing personal challenge. It is never an easy fix. Sometimes it's a long drawn out process, sometimes an immediate decision, and tragically, sometimes never happening at all. The choice we make to forgive or not to forgive has far-reaching effects. Under The Peach Tree is also a memoir, depicting the life and death of the author's fourteen-year old son. It is meant to be a hope and encouragement to those who have lost children. It is a companion book to Aunt Lillian because of a decision to forgive the "unforgivable." Mary Snyder was an only child who went through life wearing x-ray vision glasses, processing attitudes and relationships as she saw them. From early childhood she developed deep emotional responses to what she saw; feeling the pain and sorrows of those who were offended and of those who offended. She was blessed with two peerless parents, who instilled into her a value system of love, honesty and integrity. Putting order into confusion and making peace became Mary's life-long ambition. Intrigued that she has entered the season where the old seed dies into the ground and the new seed springs forth, she rejoices with three thoughts; when you know who you are, why you're here, and where you are going, you are at peace. Mary Snyder has enjoyed a full, vibrant life and is eager to share some of her life's experiences with the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Richest Family in the World is the fictional tale of the Goodwins, a hard-working, God-fearing family whose deep spirituality serves them well, especially during times of crisis. Like many families around the world, the Goodwins rely on their faith in God to guide them through their many adventures. John and Sarah Goodwin, a farming couple with eight children, have been happily married for forty-two years. All eight children helped work the farm when they were younger; however, much to their father's disappointment, as adults, they have no interest in taking over the family business. As a result, John and Sarah Goodwin must face the biggest heartbreak of their lives-losing the farm. Another tragedy strikes the family when Sarah travels to visit the brother she never knew existed and is critically injured in a plane crash. The richest family in the world is the family that loves, respects, and helps one another, especially through controversy and difficult times. Through the roller coaster adventures of the Goodwins, The Richest Family in the World demonstrates that there are no perfect families-just families who share the faith that, through it all, they will survive and hope and love will prevail.

Download or read book Oh My Giddy Aunt! written by Jay Cassie and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who could drown a goldfish or talk directly to God? Use a jigsaw as a template for china restoration? End up in the village millpond? Who planned for future blindness with military precision and sampled many of the different religions?The answer to all these questions was Giddy Aunt Lillian. She made a bank manager carry her money to a rival bank and then checked on their security. She created a pets’ graveyard in the back garden, from which she wanted to start a new business. Fairies ‘really did exist’ at the bottom of her garden and she was the bane of all the churches in the vicinity. She was every child’s dream relative but every family’s nightmare. Great-aunt Lillian was blissfully unaware of the chaos she left in her wake and was the talk of the village who found her adventures a constant source of gossip.Oh My Giddy Aunt! is set in a gentler time, before the onslaught of health and safety rules and regulations or political correctness. It was a time when eccentricity was celebrated and social services was in its infancy. Today Lillian would be investigated and declared insane – and the family probably would have been advised to put her away. Her niece Jojo was much beleaguered by her unconventional aunt and was often innocently drawn into her schemes, but the magic stayed with Jojo as she went on to write this book – it is narrated from her point of view.The book is a laugh-out-loud read that will appeal to readers over 45 and resonate with anyone who has a quirky relative themselves.

Reviewers have praised the take-charge heroine and the spellbinding romance. Bound together. Worlds apart. Kami Glass is in love with someone she's never met—a boy she's talked to in her head since she was born. This has made her an outsider in the sleepy English town of Sorry-in-the-Vale, but she has learned ways to turn that to her advantage. Her life seems to be in order, until disturbing events begin to occur. There has been screaming in the woods and the manor overlooking the town has lit up for the first time in 10 years. . . . The Lynburn family, who ruled the town a generation ago and who all left without warning, have returned. Now Kami can see that the town she has known and loved all her life is hiding a multitude of secrets—and a murderer. The key to it all just might be the boy in her head. The boy she thought was imaginary is real, and definitely and deliciously dangerous.

Book Synopsis Read Me, Liberals! by : Stacey Smith
Download or read book Read Me, Liberals! written by Stacey Smith and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2023-08-11 with total page 821 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Read Me, Liberals" is an attempt to awaken a certain class of people that are morally at risk. The modern United States political system is dominated by a two-party system, Democrats and Republicans. Either party is perfect nor will the ever be perfect, but the Democratic party has gone so far left it is a threat to the freedom and safety of American citizens. The modern Democratic party and their allies want to dramatically alter the United States to their fascist ideology. They want total control of you and I by any means necessary. They want to control how you think and what you can say. Most importantly they want you to be submissive to a complete totalitarian government control. This book exposes all the hypocrisy, corruption, and moral insanity that comes from the "left". Most importantly it exposes the two-tiered justice system, one for Democrats and one for the rest of us. This book is meant to target liberals, democrats, and independents but will help educate conservatives and Republicans as well. I challenge anyone that loves the United States to read this and help save this country while we still can. Liberals will continue to push their one-world order agenda until they get what they want. The United States is more politically divided than any other time in history and we need to come together somehow.
Book Synopsis Phantom Fathers by : Mary VanderGoot
Download or read book Phantom Fathers written by Mary VanderGoot and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Another story about Maggie Barnes and her family. By digging into online genealogy records and talking with their chatty Aunt Lillian, Maggie's children discover the World War II struggles of their paternal grandparents and their silent father, Ross. It's not a story to make kids proud. They find it easier to be critical of their flawed family and assume the next generation will do better. Like an autopsy, Phantom Fathers exposes the problems of this thinking. Soon enough these critical children will be the parents of their own adult children, and they will have their day in court. As Maggie's children discover the trauma that tore through their father's life and the way their grandparents dealt with it--brutal events during World War II, desperate decisions that fractured the family, and a dishonorable emigration to the United States--they wonder if they could have done better under the circumstances. Ross's silence begins to make sense. Most surprising are events that stir the sympathy of disappointed children and open the way to admitting the truth about imperfect ancestors.

The crimes haunted San Francisco Police Captain Charles Dullea, the last honest cop in one of the most notoriously corrupt departments in the country. But nothing could have prepared Dullea for where the case- and the truth-would take him.
