Download or read book Cornelius Sky written by Timothy Brandoff and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A serious comic novel about human failings and forgiveness. This remarkable study of a doorman will stay with you, and live on.” —Allison Janney, Oscar Award–winning actress Cornelius Sky is a doorman in a posh Fifth Avenue apartment building that houses New York City’s elite, including a former First Lady whose husband was assassinated while in office. It is 1974 and New York City is heading toward a financial crisis. At work, Connie prides himself on his ability to buff a marble floor better than anyone, a talent that so far has kept him from being fired for his drinking. He pushes the boundaries of his duties, partying and playing board games with the former First Lady’s lonely thirteen-year-old son in the service stairwell—the only place where the boy is not spied upon mercilessly by the tabloid press and his Secret Service detail. Connie believes he is the only one who can offer true solace and companionship to this fatherless boy, but his constant neglect of his own sons and their mother reaches a boiling point. His wife changes the locks on his own door, and he finds himself wandering the mean streets of the city in his uniform, where unlikely angels offer him a path toward redemption. Cornelius Sky is an elegant picaresque that beautifully captures an opulent city on the edge of ruin and recovery. “A novel that seems to be everywhere, and is superbly told. The storyteller has the sharp eye and calm voice of an intrigued looker-on.” —Larry Heinemann, National Book Award–winning author of Paco’s Story “A dramatically satisfying and emotional resonant novel.” —Publishers Weekly

Book Synopsis Resurrecting Fledgling by : Jack Weitzel
Download or read book Resurrecting Fledgling written by Jack Weitzel and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of healing set in the context of a wealthy philanthropist who gathers a dedicated group of Christian faithful to resurrect a dying town by creating a high quality medical center. It is more than the challenges, labor and sacrifice required by this ambitious ten year project. We enter the lives of multiple citizens from this poor and medically underserved area. The rich ebb and flow of their hardships, disappointments, and redemptions is the real meat of the story. Humans, of course, are God's creations, so the reader also finds joy, along with the satisfaction of seeing a main character's hatred and quest for revenge quelled by compassion, reconciliation and love. 1 Corinthians 13:13. — Bill E. Barry MD

Book Synopsis Household Devils by : A.C. Hutchinson
Download or read book Household Devils written by A.C. Hutchinson and published by Moonlight Cottage Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-10 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Halloween night, five young people are standing before a strange old building. It’s the epitome of a haunted house. It’s nestled between trees that arch towards it with branches like spindly fingers. It looks uninviting. It looks . . . evil. But that’s just fine. It’s what they wanted. It’s why they answered the advert — the one offering thrill-seekers the chance to spend All Hallows’ Eve in a haunted house. But there’s no reason for them to be scared, right? It’s all pretence, like a cheap fairground ghost train ride. Well, the Devil is in the detail, or so they say. Come inside . . . if you dare. “Aside from this being a solid horror read, fans of Hutchinson’s short stories will find their thirst well and truly quenched as in the frame of this dark tale are woven six shorts in the same vein as the author’s much-read Be Careful What You Wish For. A unique novel, darker than anything Hutchinson has published previously.”

Download or read book Connie's Journey written by Ruth Peasland and published by Ambassador International. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connie, a twelve-year-old living in a comfortable home in Manchester, England, had no real worries. The neighborhood kids were her friends, and her dog, Punch, was her constant companion. The family of three went to church on Sundays where her dad “served God” by doing good deeds. However, suddenly everything changed. World War II began and this led the family to leave the church after disagreements with the sermons on Hitler. After living with an old aunt, and then on a farm, the family then joined a religious German camp called the “Bruderhof.” Connie’s dad, believing this was his place to serve God, sold all their possessions and gave the money to the Bruderhof’s leader. Gone was their pretty house, Dad’s motorbike, the family car, Connie’s piggy bank, and worst of all, Punch! Since England was at war with Germany, German groups were considered enemies of England. This resulted in the Bruderhof community being shipped over the dangerous Atlantic Ocean to the poor country of Paraguay. Many small children died from tropical diseases and lack of clean water. Connie was full of questions: Was God really there? Was this muddy, hot country filled with snakes, flies, and mosquitoes really a better place to find and serve God rather than England? Find the answer to these questions in Connie’s Journey, the true story of Connie Ridley Peasland.
