Download or read book The Old Man written by Thomas Perry and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now an original series from FX starring Jeff Bridges, John Lithgow, and Amy Brenneman: a retired intelligence officer living off the grid is caught in “[a] harrowing hunt-and-hide adventure” (The New York Times). To all appearances, Dan Chase is a harmless retiree in Vermont with two big mutts and a grown daughter he keeps in touch with by phone. But most sixty-year-old widowers don’t have multiple driver’s licenses, savings stockpiled in banks across the country, or two Beretta Nanos stashed in the spare bedroom closet. Most have not spent decades on the run. Thirty-five years ago, as a young army intelligence hotshot, Chase was sent to Libya to covertly assist a rebel army. When the plan turned sour, Chase acted according to his conscience—and triggered consequences he never could have anticipated. To this day, someone still wants him dead. And just when he thought he was finally safe, Chase is confronted with the history he spent much of his life trying to escape. Edgar Award–winning author Thomas Perry writes thrillers that move “almost faster than a speeding bullet” (Wall Street Journal). The Old Man is his latest whip-smart standalone novel, and has been adapted into a critically acclaimed television series starring Jeff Bridges as retired CIA Agent Dan Chase. “Perry drives deep into Jack Reacher territory in this stand-alone [novel] . . . Swift, unsentimental, and deeply satisfying.” —Kirkus Reviews
Download or read book The Old Guys written by Mike Ryan and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U. S. led coalition won the war in Iraq with few American casualties. But the real war didn't start until after Saddam Hussein's statue fell. Warring factors wreaked havoc, with kidnapped civilians often paying the ultimate price- beheaded rather than released. As the risks are high, convincing Americans to work in Iraq is difficult-but not impossible. An enormous salary provides many takers ... many of them younger in age looking for a fast buck and a lot of excitement. Terminated unexpectedly and desperate, three men and a retired Marine Sergeant well past their prime, old guys who should have been able to enjoy their retirement, take the risk of driving trucks in Iraq alongside men half their age. Unwanted and ridiculed by the more aggressive drivers, their world is a living hell- until it gets even worse. Until they make a decision to take the greatest risk of all: lay down their lives for men who have made their own lives so miserable. This story tells how men from an older generation follow terrorists into Iran to save the lives of the younger men kidnapped in an attack on the trucker camp. To succeed they must withstand unthought-of hardships, face up to their fears, and overcome almost insurmountable obstacles in an attempt to redeem themselves in society and prove their own self worth. This is the story of The Old Guys.

Book Synopsis No Country for Old Men by : Cormac McCarthy
Download or read book No Country for Old Men written by Cormac McCarthy and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-11-29 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of The Passenger and the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel The Road comes a "profoundly disturbing and gorgeously rendered" novel (The Washington Post) that returns to the Texas-Mexico border, setting of the famed Border Trilogy. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones. One day, a good old boy named Llewellyn Moss finds a pickup truck surrounded by a bodyguard of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law—in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell—can contain. As Moss tries to evade his pursuers—in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives—McCarthy simultaneously strips down the American crime novel and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning’s headlines. No Country for Old Men is a triumph. Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.

Childless, he and his wife Marie visit the orphanage he and his now-estranged sister Anne lived in as small children and, as Marie has long wanted to do, end up adopting six-year-old Hope. Hope is sexually assaulted at age 16. Herself molested by one of their mother’s male friends as a child, Anne comes for a visit to help. After Hope is on her own, Marie is killed in a car accident. Slowly at first, Duke starts losing his grip on reality. He seeks revenge on the man whose vehicle killed Marie, looks for relief of his pain by taking a yoga class, falls in love with the instructor Rachel, marries her, sees his daughter Hope married to Dirk and helps Rachel bury her mother. During these years, Duke’s judgment deteriorates. He causes a car accident that kills Rachel, starts drinking regularly and tracks down the man who killed Marie to forgive him and thus himself. Hope and Anne eventually realize that he is no longer capable of taking care of himself and place him a Continuing Care Retirement Community. There, when ER tests given after he breaks a leg reveal that he has a fast-acting fatal disease, they move him back to his old home. Having separated from Dirk, Hope moves in to take care of him and arranges for hospice care. Along with her now-adult children, she and Anne attend his death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was a kid in the late 1950s, while I was a student at Paoli Elementary School, I read the famous children's book that talks about the Kid from Leftfield. Also around that time, I always said to myself, "What is it going to be like in the year 2000? I'll be fifty years old!" I couldn't comprehend being that old; the thought of it scared me, and I'd probably be in a wheelchair or something worse. I bet a lot of people my age thought the same thing. This is the story of what that kid did when he reached the age of fifty.
Download or read book ADOPTION written by Charles Spurgeon and published by Felipe chavarro. This book was released on with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this issue of the Free Grace Broadcaster on adoption, Robert Alexander Webb introduces us to the importance of this vital doctrine, giving us three reasons why it is so important. Charles Spurgeon declares that God’s act of predestinating sinners to the adoption of children is an act of pure grace. What are the causes of adoption? John Gill answers by demonstrating the gracious work of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost as the cause of that miracle of grace. John Murray describes the Fatherhood of God biblically, distinguishing it from the false notion that all people are the children of God. He also explains that adoption is neither justification nor regeneration, while being intimately connected to both. Abraham Booth tells us that God’s grace reigns in adoption and offers clear biblical ways that believers are united to God and made part of His heavenly family. What is the nature of adoption? And what are its benefits? Do you know? David Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains both with biblical clarity and the force of truth. Scottish theologian and minister John Dick sharply contrasts the satanic family of which believers were once a part with the glory and splendor of being in God’s righteous family. How does one know if he or she is indeed a child of God? Octavius Winslow beautifully explains the witness of God’s Spirit in our souls that we know that we are the children of God. Then, with clarity and moving imagery, John Eadie makes a valiant attempt to tell us what it means when the apostle John says, “We shall be like him”—like Christ Jesus! And finally, Thomas Reade helps us to consider the sacred evidence of sonship. He, like Winslow, wants to help us answer the question, “Am I a child of God?” No regenerate soul can read these thoughts without being moved and without desiring to finish his course to the glory of Christ Who saved us. Articles: The Importance of Adoption - Robert Alexander Webb (1856-1919) - God’s adoption of sinners as His children is a glorious and beautiful biblical truth; but God’s people have not always recognized its importance, nor have they considered it as deeply and thoroughly as justification and regeneration. An Act of Pure Grace - Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) - an overview of adoption that begins in God’s eternal purpose before the creation of the world and appears in history through God’s mighty work in sinners’ hearts. The Causes of Adoption - John Gill (1697-1771) - The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all vitally involved in the amazing grace of transforming sinners into sons and daughters of the Triune God. The Fatherhood of God - John Murray (1898-1975) - God’s gracious acts of justification and regeneration are distinct from but connected to the grace of God in adopting sinners into His family. Grace Reigns in Adoption - Abraham Booth (1734-1806) - a survey of the sovereign grace of Almighty God as He gloriously transforms slaves of sin into His free children with all the privileges and graces of His divine family. Nate and Benefits of Adoption - David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) - How is the word adoption used in Scripture? And what benefits and assurances does a converted sinner enjoy as a child of the God? Read prayerfully. From Satan's Family to God's - John Dick (1764-1833) - To appreciate the astonishing love of God in adopting sinners into His family, we must understand something about the sinful, satanic family from which He saves us. The Witness of the Spirit - Octavius Winslow (1808-1878) - The Holy Spirit of God bears witnesses in the hearts of believers that they are indeed God’s eternally loved, blood-bought children. Do you have this witness? We Shall Be Like Him - John Eadie (1810-1876) - What does it mean that believers will be like Christ? Here are precious thoughts on which to meditate deeply. Sacred Evidence of Sonship - Thomas Shaw B. Reade (1776-1841) - a precious collection of profound thoughts on discerning whether we are truly the children of God.

And so begins his picaresque and unlikely journey involving criminals, several murders, a suitcase full of cash, and incompetent police. As his escapades unfold, Allan's earlier life is revealed.

Book excerpt: It is a country called Jingyang Country. There is a mountain range called Ziyang Mountain in the north of Jingyang Country. There are hundreds of trees and animals in Ziyang Mountain, and the size of Ziyang Mountain is even bigger than that of Jingyang Country, because this mortal country in the world generally covers a small area, and most areas are wild, with monsters running rampant and dangerous terrain, which is not suitable for all human beings to live and live. Qingshan village is an ordinary small mountain village on the northern border of Jingyang country. Because Ziyang Mountain is in the north, it is quite peaceful. Because all the people in the village live by hunting and gathering wild fruits, the life of the people in the village is still very leisurely and comfortable.
