The Lover You Have Been Missing

The Lover you have been missing is one of its kind, a book that talks of the essence of Love. Till now we have found love to be referred in personal aspects or rather, as an image or person. The author has vividly talked of the Love that is universal, beyond persons and images. The Love that is your true nature. The Love that once tasted, becomes one with you. He retorts on how love has been brought down to a 'rotten' definition by us. He talks on an immersion in love that brings courage and completeness with it. He shatters all the misconceptions and conceptions around Love, beautifully elucidating how men and women stand at two ends of duality. Author, sensationally, breaks all 'images' associated with love and brings you to Love in its truest form.




A Sudden Glory


Book Description

Do you long for something more in your relationship with God? The good news is that “something more” does not mean “doing more.” God is not waiting for you to get your spiritual life “right.” He wants to be with you right where you are. The real question is not “What does God want from you?” but “What does God want for you?” Sharon Jaynes understands what it’s like to have a “glory ache”—a longing to experience God’s presence on a daily basis. She also knows how easily working for God can get in the way of intimacy with God. And she’s discovered that we tend to make our faith journey much too hard. In A Sudden Glory, Sharon uses Scripture and story to help you erase the line between your “spiritual life” and your “daily life” as you enter the sanctuary of God’s presence even in the middle of your busy, messy day. Here you will find your eyes opened to moments of sudden glory in which the Creator assures you of His love as you live and move and have your being in Him. Here you will discover true freedom—the freedom of experiencing God in a deeper and more intimate way than ever before. Includes Bible study and discussion guide.

Chapter Two is Missing


Book Description

"Very few books are this entertaining to read. Even fewer are literally an active crime scene. Please help find Chapter 2. Without it, this book is nothing." -John Oliver, host of HBO's Last Week Tonight Chapter Two is Missing is a hilarious picture book mystery starring a hopelessly lost narrator, an unqualified detective, and a very sneaky janitor, who are all surprised to discover that second chapter of the very book of which they are a part is--gasp--missing! Do not be alarmed, but the second chapter of this book appears to be missing! It was here a minute ago, but now it seems to have simply walked off. Not only that, but some of the punctuation has gone topsy-turvy, a bunch of letter Ms are hiding in Chapter 5, and Chapter 45 appears to be from another book entirely! The narrator is going to need some assistance getting things in order, especially with the unhelpful detective who keeps butting in and that shifty janitor lurking about. Luckily he has you--the reader--to help! From Emmy winning comedy writer and producer Josh Lieb, Chapter Two is Missing is a hilarious whodunit, an irreverent look at storytelling, and perfect for fans of Snappsy the Alligator (Did Not Ask to Be in This Book) and The Book With No Pictures.

Nobody Is Ever Missing


Book Description

In the spirit of Haruki Murakami and Amelia Gray, Catherine Lacey's Nobody Is Ever Missing is full of mordant humor and uncanny insights, as Elyria waffles between obsession and numbness in the face of love, loss, danger, and self-knowledge. Without telling her family, Elyria takes a one-way flight to New Zealand, abruptly leaving her stable but unfulfilling life in Manhattan. As her husband scrambles to figure out what happened to her, Elyria hurtles into the unknown, testing fate by hitchhiking, tacitly being swept into the lives of strangers, and sleeping in fields, forests, and public parks. Her risky and often surreal encounters with the people and wildlife of New Zealand propel Elyria deeper into her deteriorating mind. Haunted by her sister's death and consumed by an inner violence, her growing rage remains so expertly concealed that those who meet her sense nothing unwell. This discord between her inner and outer reality leads her to another obsession: If her truest self is invisible and unknowable to others, is she even alive? The risks Elyria takes on her journey are paralleled by the risks Catherine Lacey takes on the page. In urgent, spiraling prose she whittles away at the rage within Elyria and exposes the very real, very knowable anxiety of the human condition. And yet somehow Lacey manages to poke fun at her unrelenting self-consciousness, her high-stakes search for the dark heart of the self.




Are We Missing Something Here


Book Description

"Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me declares the LORD." (Jeremiah 9:23,24). A great deal of interest has been aroused in recent years concerning the Holy Spirit, His identity and His work. This is no mere coincidence. Never has there been a time when the Church has needed the Holy Spirit more and yet been so bankrupt of its "Power" than today. Could it be that we have misunderstood something crucial about the Holy Spirit? Bruce Bivens has devoted the major portion of the last three years to the intense study of the person of the Holy Spirit. He has been pleasantly surprised by the depth, beauty and simplicity of what the Lord has to say concerning the mysteries of the Godhead and the person of the Holy Spirit. And so will you. "Are We Missing Something Here?" is the product of his study and is refreshingly straightforward, logical, challenging, Bible-based and empowering. If your tired of all the propaganda floating around the Church concerning the Trinity and the Holy Spirit If your tired of belonging to a "Powerless" Church If your tired of the absence of "Victory" in your own life If you would like to know for sure just what the truth is concerning the Godhead and the Holy Spirit Then this book is for you! God would like nothing more than to pour out the Holy Spirit upon us and to give us POWER but the Holy Spirit cannot be given in its full "Power" until we have a much truer understanding and appreciation of "Who" He is, "How" He has come to be offered to us and "Why". The answers to these questions will not only astound you, they will also empower you (and your church) as never before. This book will give you those answers in a straightforward, understandable and powerful way. "Are We Missing Something Here" is written primarily for Seventh-day Adventists but is worthy of the study of Christians from ALL denominations. If your ready for "meat" instead of "milk", substance instead of ideas, the Word of God instead of human understanding if you would dare to know the Truth -- then this book is what you have been looking for. I make almost NOTHING off of this book -- that is Not my intent. I am only interested in getting this message out there and every effort has been made to do so at an affordable cost! However, I am confident that you will find this one of the BEST INVESTMENTS you have ever made (in that it provides the most BIBLICAL and SOP information you will find on the subject) -- so I strongly encourage you to invest in this book!

When she doesn’t show for the second day, or second week, Claudia knows that something is wrong. Monday wouldn’t just leave her to endure tests and bullies alone. Not after last year’s rumors and not with her grades on the line. Now Claudia needs her best—and only—friend more than ever. But Monday’s mother refuses to give Claudia a straight answer, and Monday’s sister April is even less help. As Claudia digs deeper into her friend’s disappearance, she discovers that no one seems to remember the last time they saw Monday.
