When a brilliant billionaire is diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer, he realizes that all his considerable wealth cannot prepare him to meet his Maker. But he has an idea that might: he will stage the ultimate reality show. With his true agenda hidden, he auditions followers from all the world’s major religions, inviting them to the trial of their lives on a remote island, where they must defend their beliefs against spiritual challenges. Oliver Finney, a feisty old judge with his own secrets, is chosen to defend Christianity. As the program takes a strange twist, he quickly realizes he is trapped in a game of deadly agendas that may cost him his life. With Internet access monitored, Finney sends coded messages to his law clerk, Nikki Moreno. Aided by a teen crypto-geek, Nikki soon discovers the key to understanding Finney’s clues in an apologetics book Finney wrote and must race against time to decipher the mysteries contained in the ancient words of Christ before her boss dies defending them.
Book Synopsis How the Republicans Stole Christmas by : Bill Press
Download or read book How the Republicans Stole Christmas written by Bill Press and published by Image. This book was released on 2005-10-11 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of an election seen by many as a triumphant victory for “moral values,” political commentator and one-time seminarian Bill Press launches a counteroffensive against the so-called religious right. For decades, Press argues, conservative preachers such as Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and James Dobson—joined by most Catholic bishops—have defined religion so narrowly that Democrats and liberals have been pushed outside the fold. According to their narrow gospel, God put George Bush in the White House to deal with gays, guns, and abortion—and those who don’t agree are on the sure road to hell. Bill Press says it’s time to take religion back: “Who gave this gang the inside track on religion, anyway? The way I read the Gospels, Jesus was as liberal as Paul Wellstone. He sure as hell wouldn’t have been a registered Republican. One other thing’s for sure: if Jesus ever came back to earth, there’s one gang he wouldn’t hang out with; and that’s this phony bunch of pious, puffed-up preachers who wear religion on their sleeves.” How the Republicans Stole Christmas is also Press’s fervent call to Democrats and liberals to reclaim religion and return it to its basic principles of social justice, charity, and tolerance. Press argues that the Right didn’t just steal religion, the Left let them have it, offering no resistance as conservatives dictated what’s right and what’s wrong. But on today’s social issues, according to Press, religious conservatives have gotten it all wrong. They have turned Jesus from a loving Messiah who championed the poor and dispossessed into a cold-blooded advocate for the rich and powerful. Press does not confine his criticisms to so-called Christian leaders; he uncovers the same wrong-headed tendencies in other faiths and among nonbelievers, who even today cling to the Old Testament as an appropriate code of behavior.

She knows because she’s been watching him for months with her drone. She’s never stalked anyone before, but he not only doesn’t seem to mind, he puts on nightly strip shows just for her. When she finally works up the courage to talk to him, she stumbles right into a murder—that he’s committed. But this holiday is one she’ll never forget… According to Theo, the whole murder thing is no big deal—the dead guy needed killing. And while her hot neighbor wants her, protecting her is his main priority. So when she’s targeted, this cinnamon roll hitman kidnaps her for her own good. With a deadly threat hunting them and a hot hitman who keeps handcuffing her to him “for her own protection”, Elliana is starting to reconsider her grinchy stance on the holidays.

Book Synopsis The Christmas Courtroom Trilogy by : Landis Wade
Download or read book The Christmas Courtroom Trilogy written by Landis Wade and published by Landis Wade. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This humorous holiday/mystery trilogy puts belief in Santa Claus on trial in three stand-alone cozies with a lovable cast of characters and a host of non-believer adversaries. The trilogy starts with “The Christmas Heist,” a “script somewhere between the screenplays for My Cousin Vinny and Miracle on 34th Street,” says the former Dean of Wake Forest University School of Law “and that’s a wonderful place to be.” Defendant Henry Edmonds, a homeless man who looks a bit like Santa Claus, is put on trial on Christmas Eve for stealing a flash drive full of secrets, and if he goes to jail, Christmas won’t come. Book two is “The Legally Binding Christmas,” a Christmas mystery with romantic tension, where now widowed lawyer, Thad Raker, goes up against a formidable single female adversary and tries to save Christmas once again. When the local government his adversary represents moves to condemn the dilapidated home of Raker’s eccentric new client, the trial puts Santa’s distribution system at risk and Christmas in peril. The final story, “The Christmas Redemption,” won the 2018 Holiday category of the 12th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards and was Honorable Mention in the 2018 Holiday category in the 10th Annual Readers’ Favorite Awards. Thad Raker is hired to defend the toy company that made the most popular Christmas present in 50 years—the Reindeer Hoverboard—and becomes entangled in the greatest threat to Christmas yet when he learns that the survival of Santa’s North Pole village is at risk. Standing in Raker’s way are a large class of angry plaintiffs, an unbelieving judge, the FBI, several North Pole conspirators and Hank Snow, Raker’s nemesis from his previous Christmas trials. “The Christmas Redemption” is where “John Grisham meets Santa Claus,” says humorist and author Tracy Curtis, “for a hoverboard ride that seamlessly blends courtroom drama, corruption, climate change and Christmas with great humor and with a message about the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of family.”

Authorities suspect someone has a vendetta against McNaughton & Clay, leaving Landon and the remaining partner as the final targets. As Landon struggles to keep the firm together, he can't help but wonder, is the plot related to a shady case from McNaughton & Clay's past, or to the murder trial he's neck-deep in now?
