The Wages of Sin


Book Description

Sarah Gilchrist has fled London and a troubled past to join the University of Edinburgh's medical school in 1882, the first year it admits women. Determined to become a doctor despite the misgivings of her family and society, Sarah quickly finds plenty of barriers at school itself: professors who refuse to teach their new pupils, male students determined to force out their female counterparts, and female peers who will do anything to avoid being associated with a fallen woman.Desperate for a proper education, Sarah turns to one of the city’s ramshackle charitable hospitals for additional training. The St Giles’ Infirmary for Women ministers to the downtrodden and drunk, the thieves and whores with nowhere else to go. She learns a great deal there, but when one of Sarah’s patients turns up in the university dissecting room as a battered corpse, Sarah finds herself drawn into a murky underworld of bribery, brothels, and body snatchers.Sarah is determined to find out what happened to Lucy and bring those responsible for her death to justice. But as she searches for answers in Edinburgh’s dank alleyways, bawdy houses and fight clubs, Sarah comes closer and closer to uncovering one of Edinburgh’s most lucrative trades, and, in doing so, puts her own life at risk…




Sinners and Saints


Book Description

Working for Lucifer is the best job in the universe, until the day it's not. Then you're on your own, with Hell at your heels. Ava, Sin of Greed, has had a rough week. The angel she planned to make a life with left her with nothing but a Dear Jane letter. Even worse, Lucifer believes she spilled Hell's secrets to her ex, and her boss's temper is notoriously apocalyptic. For centuries, Dante has kept his feelings for Ava under lock-and-key. The one time he pursued something more, he nearly lost her for good. Lesson learned. However, when he hears of her planned elopement, all bets are off. Not having Ava was a reality he could have accepted. Losing her to an angel is something else entirely. Now, Ava, once Hell's golden child, is fleeing for her life. When her old friend Dante shows up, her first instinct is to send him packing. But Dante is more than a friend-he's the only other man who tempted her, and his fierce loyalty challenges everything she thought she knew about him. As Ava prepares to battle the devil himself, she can't keep from getting closer to Dante...though given what happened the last time, she doubts her heart can survive another break.







The Sin of Wages


Book Description

Informative & thought-provoking examination of today's conventional pay system & the problems it creates within organizations. Discusses in detail the seven Sins of Wages: Fixed-expense pay, paying for time, corporate socialism, performance-based promotions, management by exception, management by perception, & entitlement thinking. Provides alternatives to these problems that will allow an organization to reward high contribution employees for their performance, link organizational objectives to specific job positions & use these measures as a management tool for feedback, develop an alternative to the annual (an usually subjective) review process, & convert part of our compensation from a fixed to a profit-indexed expense that would have a direct relationship with the way the business cycle goes. Written by William Abernathy, Ph.D., a leading authority on performance management & incentive pay systems.

The Slavery of Death


Book Description

According to Hebrews, the Son of God appeared to "break the power of him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil--and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death." What does it mean to be enslaved, all our lives, to the fear of death? And why is this fear described as "the power of the devil"? And most importantly, how are we--as individuals and as faith communities--to be set free from this slavery to death?In another creative interdisciplinary fusion, Richard Beck blends Eastern Orthodox perspectives, biblical text, existential psychology, and contemporary theology to describe our slavery to the fear of death, a slavery rooted in the basic anxieties of self-preservation and the neurotic anxieties at the root of our self-esteem. Driven by anxiety--enslaved to the fear of death--we are revealed to be morally and spiritually vulnerable as "the sting of death is sin." Beck argues that in the face of this predicament, resurrection is experienced as liberation from the slavery of death in the martyrological, eccentric, cruciform, and communal capacity to overcome fear in living fully and sacrificially for others.

Granted, Ava doesn't know Dante has been in love with her for centuries, and doesn't understand why he won't leave her alone no matter what comes after her.With Hell on her trail, Ava's running short on friends. Meanwhile, she can't ignore the suggestive looks Dante keeps sending her way. Something tells her it doesn't take Hell to get things hot...
