Untouched Innocence


Book Description

We have heard some ministers say that it is your belief that will send you to hell and not your sins, and this can be misleading. Because some of you might be deceived into thinking that you can keep sinning as long as you believe there is a God. Not only are some of you living your lives to reflect that kind of thinking, you are expressing it from your mouth. If one does not repent and remove from him his sins, he does not profit his soul any good thing. Remember, repenting is part of the process to become sanctified. All sins, big and small, shall be repented of and forgiven. And remember also, have you forgiven so that your sins can be forgiven you also? It all works together for your salvation to be intact. If you die with any of these sins still part of you, which you have not bothered to repent off, my Bible tells me that you cannot enter the kingdom of God. Think about this, if you really believe there is a God, and there is, you are going to come to a point where you are going to not want to sin before Him and get right with Him. You’re going to judge your own self, because your conscience is going to weigh you down. Don’t focus on the sugarcoated babblings of man and his weak human wisdom, but do focus on the precious bloodshed mercy of Jesus. Those sins that yield short-lived pleasure are only temporary and lead directly to the gates of hell, but your salvation leads directly to Jesus through eternity. Be on the safe side; just repent and get right with God. It is the only way! This book was written for personal enrichment and Christian training. It gives the reader clear, easy instructions and Scripture references for the reader to research. This book appeals to young people to make that change in their lives that Jesus is calling for. There is also a worksheet to help the reader interact with the book.

Recent History


Book Description

This event casts a long shadow over Luca’s own sexual coming-of-age, calling into dramatic question every relationship he develops—or fails to. Years later, Luca enters his own marriage harboring a sexual secret that, in an earlier era, might have remained a secret, but which now forces him to confront, in the most painful way, the strictly demarcated boundaries of male sexuality.

The Murder Room


Book Description

The Dupayne, a small private museum in London devoted to the interwar years 1919-1939, is in turmoil. As its trustees argue over whether it should be closed, one of them is brutally and mysteriously murdered. Yet even as Commander Dalgliesh and his team proceed with their investigation, a second corpse is discovered. Someone in the Dupayne is prepared to kill and kill again. Still more sinister, the murders appear to echo the notorious crimes of the past featured in one of the museum’s galleries: the Murder Room. The case is fraught with danger and complications from the outset, but for Dalgliesh the complications are unexpectedly profound. His new relationship with Emma Lavenham—introduced in the last Dalgliesh novel, Death in Holy Orders—is at a critical stage. Now, as he moves closer and closer to a solution to the puzzle, he finds himself driven further and further from commitment to the woman he loves.




The Last Hurrah


Book Description

A corrupt mayor runs his final campaign in this “remarkably intelligent, informed, well-conceived, and highly readable” classic novel (Chicago Tribune). “We’re living in a sensitive age, Cuke, and I’m not altogether sure you’re fully attuned to it.” So says Irish-American politician Frank Skeffington—a cynical, corrupt 1950s mayor, and also an old-school gentleman who looks after the constituents of his New England city and enjoys their unwavering loyalty in return. But in our age of dynasties, mercurial social sensitivities, and politicians making love to the camera, Skeffington might as well be talking to us. Not quite a roman á clef of notorious Boston mayor James Michael Curley, The Last Hurrah tells the story of Skeffington’s final campaign as witnessed through the eyes of his nephew, who learns a great deal about politics as he follows his uncle to fundraisers, wakes, and into smoke-filled rooms, ultimately coming—almost against his will—to admire the man. Adapted into a 1958 film starring Spencer Tracy and directed by John Ford (and which Curley tried to keep from being made), Edwin O’Connor’s opus reveals politics as it really is, and big cities as they really were. An expansive, humorous novel offering deep insight into the Irish-American experience and the ever-changing nature of the political machine, The Last Hurrah reveals political truths still true today: what the cameras capture is just the smiling face of the sometimes sordid business of giving the people what they want. Praise for The Last Hurrah “The best novel about American politics and the best novel about Irish-Americans I have ever read.” —New York Times “A splendid inside job on big city politics. It establishes O’Connor as one of our most gifted interpreters of American life.” —Chicago Tribune “In today’s soulless, prefabricated, follow-the-polling-data political environment, The Last Hurrah is a reminder of where we came from and how we got here. . . . O’Connor’s marking of the end of an era is still relevant, prescient in its gloomy foretelling of cultural change. . . . The Last Hurrah is the rich story of personality- and class-driven politics, now footnotes in contemporary culture.” —Boston Globe
