Book excerpt: Mason Krane was five years old when he saw his parents brutally murdered and his brother dragged screaming out of their home. Haunted by the horrors of that night, Mason has dedicated his life to finding missing children. Though dedicated to his job, Mason's obsession with finding the truth of that night is always on his mind. He has never found any evidence to grant him closure, until now. Mason is hired to investigate the brutal murder of a babysitter and the missing child she was watching. The facts of the case are eerily similar to Mason's own experience, but this time the babysitter has left a clue to her killer's identity a rough sketch that will drive his investigation into a confrontation with evil. Driven by this recent discovery, Mason's investigation leads him to unlock the ancient past, create new friendships, and give him visibility into a world that exists only in the deepest nightmares. As his desire to find a missing child and the truth of his past push him forward, Mason stumbles onto a plot that could wipe out millions, and only he and God stand between the evil that could ravage the human race.
Book Synopsis Monsieur. Second Sons in the Monarchy of France, 1550–1800 by : Jonathan Spangler
Download or read book Monsieur. Second Sons in the Monarchy of France, 1550–1800 written by Jonathan Spangler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-28 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, this volume brings together the history of the royal spare in the monarchy of early modern France, those younger brothers of kings known simply as ‘Monsieur’. Ranging from the Wars of Religion to the French Revolution, this comparative study examines the frustrations of four royal princes whose proximity to their older brothers gave them vast privileges and great prestige, but also placed severe limitations on their activities and aspirations. Each chapter analyses a different aspect of the lives of François, duke of Alençon, Gaston, duke of Orléans, Philippe, duke of Orléans and Louis-Stanislas, count of Provence, starting with their birth and education, their marriages and political careers, and their search for alternative expressions of power through the patronage of the arts, architecture and learning. By comparing these four lives, a powerful image emerges of a key development in the institution of modern monarchy: the transformation of the rebellious, politically ambitious prince into the loyal defender – even in disagreement – of the Crown and of the older brother who wore it. This volume is the perfect resource for all students and scholars interested in the history of France, monarchy, early modern state building and court studies.

This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback: a #1 New York Times–bestselling author’s gripping chronicle of “two doctors . . . bringing light to those in darkness” (Time) Second Suns is the unforgettable true story of two very different doctors with a common mission: to rid the world of preventable blindness. Dr. Geoffrey Tabin was the high-achieving “bad boy” of his class at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Sanduk Ruit grew up in a remote village in the Himalayas, where cataract blindness—easily curable in modern hospitals—amounts to an epidemic. Together, they pioneered a new surgical method, by which they have restored sight to over 100,000 people—all for about $20 per operation. Master storyteller David Oliver Relin brings the doctors’ work to vivid life through poignant portraits of their patients, from old men who can once again walk treacherous mountain trails, to children who can finally see their mothers’ faces. The Himalayan Cataract Project is changing the world—one pair of eyes at a time.

Only one man has the intelligence and will to break that hold…a man who could be King. Suddenly widowed, Morna Provin, Duchess of Elcast, has lost her only protector. With her son banished for an unspeakable crime, she faces a horrifying fate at the hands of the Lion of Senet as retribution for her relationship with the heretic Johan Thorn.

Book excerpt: This first murder or should I say, “shedding of blood”, set off a series of earthly and spiritual events. Some if not most of these events have been studied, dissected, taught and preached upon for many years. However, many things are still waiting to be discovered in the scriptures. I have found such a thing. An undeniable, scriptural backed fact. This fact relates to the first murder. This fact and the theory I have written about behind it have never been preached, taught, or dissected. Much more came out of the first murder than Cain being punished for the act of shedding his brothers’ blood on the ground. If one is to break down the scriptures as I have done in this book you will learn many things. You will learn how to recognize Bible code. You will learn how to decipher the codes of the Bible. How to use the Prophetic Numbers in the deciphering of the code. An understanding of the stories/teachings Jesus taught the Apostles will have a greater meaning to you. The entire Bible will make more since to the beginning Christian as well as the more learned Christian.

Book Synopsis Scoundrels, Dreamers & Second Sons by : Mark Zuehlke
Download or read book Scoundrels, Dreamers & Second Sons written by Mark Zuehlke and published by Harbour Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-14 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “‘Remittance man’ was meant to be a disparaging term. It reflected the fact that these young men had been sent to the colonies to spare their families continuing embarrassment or shame. At home they had been scoundrels, dreamers, and second sons without future prospects. Perhaps in…the Canadian West they would make something of themselves. If they didn't, at least they would be far enough away that little disgrace would fall upon their families.” —Mark Zuehlke Beginning in 1880, thousands of young, upper-class British men with few prospects were sent to the Canadian West to distance them from British society. Still supported by their families, thus earning them the title “remittance men,” these men set out to continue their lives of leisure in this new land. With education, respectable breeding and the belief “from birth that they were superior beings,” the remittance men descended upon Western Canada with expectations of accomplishing something great and increasing their wealth. In reality, they hunted, played games, courted women, and enjoyed distinguished pursuits that squandered their parents' money and made hard-working Canadians raise their eyebrows. Though their era in Western Canada was short, 1880–1914, “they left an indelible mark perpetuated by the stories and legends that sprung up around them.” In Scoundrels, Dreamers & Second Sons, first published fifteen years ago, Mark Zuehlke traces the path of the remittance men through Western Canada, highlighting their adventures, limited successes and glorious failures.
Book Synopsis The Two Sons Diptych by : Ector Ward
Download or read book The Two Sons Diptych written by Ector Ward and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Must punishment alone be the balance for crime? Or may forgiveness alone justify the balance?The Two Sons Diptych is both a satire and a parable. As a diptych (pronounced dip'tik), it consists of two stories. In one, a medieval kingdom's stability is threatened by bloody, incestuous rape and murder. In the other, a twentieth-century family is destroyed by adultery, bitter anger, and grief. Are they opposites? Maybe. Anyway, The Two Sons Diptych will change forever the way you view forgiveness. Straightforward simplicity drives the satire into deeply contemplative and incompatible contrasts. Rich imagery with dynamic rhythm and intense passions bring the reader to shocking conclusions. What readers are saying: '...Compelling and engaging. Ector Ward manages to capture the readers' emotions and make them want to finish the stories. ...Clever analogy ... Very thought-provoking ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parable of the Two Sons, is about how we have responded to doing the works which Father God requires of each of us. Using my own example, I trace the words and actions of the son who in the parable given by Jesus, said, "I will not work in your vineyard." Then later repented and went to work. It is a good parable to cause self examination, and perhaps motivate people to take action in doing their Fathers' work.
