Book Description

***Although this book is part of a series, it CAN be read as a standalone*** Sometimes silence speaks the only truth. Ryder Hawkley swallows his words the way he swallows his guilt. A life-altering tragedy keeps him locked away in a silent prison—a self-imposed punishment for a horrific mistake. His reputation… Freak. Weirdo. Alexis Honeycutt arrives at college craving one thing—independence. Now, away from home and free from her family's overprotection, she attends a party with friends that will ultimately change her life. The moment she spots Ryder Hawkley sitting across the room, Alexis is intrigued. Dangerous. They whisper. The intensity shimmering from Ryder’s haunting eyes beckons her, but Alexis vows to stay away from him. Only, she can’t seem to get Ryder’s unnervingly quiet stare out of her head. Ryder is determined to ignore Alexis’s contagious smile the instant she strolls into the room. Despite his efforts, he is drawn to her and finds himself questioning everything he’d been holding on to for the past two years. ***This book is intended for readers 17+ due to some language and mature themes.

Book Description

The soundscape--a term coined by the author--is our sonic environment, the ever-present array of noises with which we all live. Beginning with the primordial sounds of nature, we have experienced an ever-increasing complexity of our sonic surroundings. As civilization develops, new noises rise up around us: from the creaking wheel, the clang of the blacksmith’s hammer, and the distant chugging of steam trains to the “sound imperialism” of airports, city streets, and factories. The author contends that we now suffer from an overabundance of acoustic information and a proportionate diminishing of our ability to hear the nuances and subtleties of sound. Our task, he maintains, is to listen, analyze, and make distinctions. As a society we have become more aware of the toxic wastes that can enter our bodies through the air we breathe and the water we drink. In fact, the pollution of our sonic environment is no less real. Schafer emphasizes the importance of discerning the sounds that enrich and feed us and using them to create healthier environments. To this end, he explains how to classify sounds, appreciating their beauty or ugliness, and provides exercises and “soundwalks” to help us become more discriminating and sensitive to the sounds around us. This book is a pioneering exploration of our acoustic environment, past and present, and an attempt to imagine what it might become in the future.

Book Description

"This book is a must read for anyone who is, or has faced physical or emotional trails in their life. It will not only encourage you, it will help you find hope." Craig Caster - Founder, Family Discipleship Ministries "Tim's book is a journey of loss that is heartbreaking. But more than that, it's a journey of redemption, hope and salvation. He's honest about what he's gone through and what it takes to live with NF2, his particular condition. But Tim has dug deep into his relationship with God and testifies of the sustaining grace for life and how God's promises keep him positive and focused. I say this not only from reading Tim's book, but from seeing him in the front row at church as I preach, from having coffee at Starbucks and talking church, Bible and mission. Tim's deepest desire is to be used by the God he loves to help people connect with Jesus and develop that kind of faith that he KNOWS FROM FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE will sustain you through all that life may bring. You will enjoy this book. You will be moved by this book. Mostly you will be challenged by this book." Ed Noble - Lead Pastor, Journey Community Church
