Lukas Maiden Voyage was written as a fable in which animals speak and act like people. The target audience ranges from nine years old to teenagers, even to moms and dads who may take delight in reading this story to their young children. The story revolves around the Passover celebration and Christs triumphal entry into Jerusalem, as seen through the eyes of the young burro that carried him. Intended for all Christians who grew up hearing about the life of Christs ministry, this story centers around a small, crippled colt that has been bullied his entire life by two Arabian stallions, who find ways to taunt the burro and make his life miserable. The name of the colt is Lukas, and the antagonistic twin brothers are Nimb and Obus. The colts greatest wish is to have someone come to Jethros stables and choose him for a ride. Since the little donkey was born with a weak back and a crippled leg, no one ever has. The young burros life changes dramatically when Lukas unknowingly meets Christ and is chosen by the Messiah to be ridden on the most important journey the world will ever know. Since hes never been ridden, this becomes Lukass maiden voyage.

“Why were you repeating the word small?” I prodded. He hesitated before starting to write. It’s something I tell myself. It helps when people are around. “Helps with what?” If I think small, if I’m small, they aren’t as… He took a few seconds to think about the word he wanted. Intimidated? He underlined the word twice and shrugged one of those massive shoulders. He inhaled deeply and his shoulders slumped. “Lukas.” Those deep brown eyes met mine. I don’t want you to be scared of me. My heart broke for him as I read the note. “I’m not scared of you.” I should have been. After what I’d gone through with Dylan, I knew what uncontrolled anger turned into. I should have been terrified to be in this man’s presence. I was fairly certain that not much would survive if Lukas Banks ever lost control of the fire storm that was burning within him. He watched me, looking for any sign that I might be lying. I moved my hand from his arm and pressed it over his heart. “Lukas, you don’t have to be small for me.” Viv I’ve spent the past five years of my life with one thing on my mind: Franny. My daughter is my heart and soul. I’d never really had any interest in men since leaving her dad, but that changes the instant I see Lukas walk into my grocery store. The small mountain of a man who doesn’t talk has a storm brewing in his eyes, yet I’ve never felt safer than when I’m with him. But someone out there doesn’t want me to be happy and suddenly, my life is in chaos. Lukas My entire life, I’ve been different; I’ve scared people. Ever since I’ve lost my voice, it’s been even worse. When I walk into a grocery store and the gorgeous redhead at the till talks to me like I’m not a freak, I have to admit, I’m blown away. When she shows up with pie to check on me a week later, I have to tell myself not to be an idiot. Nice girls like her don’t fall for monsters like me. Of course, it doesn’t take long to fall for her and her daughter. They’re amazing. When someone starts to threaten them, I make Viv a promise. I’ll keep them safe. Because the waste of skin trying to ruin her life is wrong: those two little redheads aren’t his… they’re mine.

Lukas Moodysson is one of the most accomplished and unconventional filmmakers of his generation in Sweden. Moodysson, now well known for his English-language film Mammoth (2009) as well as his heartbreaking indictment of sex-trafficking in Sweden, Lilya 4-Ever (2002), debuted as a writer and director while still in his twenties with Show Me Love (1998). The film received four Guldbaggar--the Swedish equivalent of the Academy Awards--including best film, best director, best screenplay, and best actresses. A coming-of-age and coming out film about two young women in a stiflingly oppressive small town, Show Me Love is widely considered a youth film classic and was called a "masterpiece" by Ingmar Bergman. This book, which is the first study of Moodysson in any language, includes discussions of the film's genre, aesthetics, and style, and situates the film in both contemporary Swedish cinema and broader Swedish culture. It includes sequence and dialogue analysis and discusses how and why this particular film became so important: its queer significance, its unusually realistic depiction of youth, and its critical reception. Anna Stenport conducted extensive interviews with the cast and crew, including several enlightening discussions with Moodysson himself. Lukas Moodysson's Show Me Love offers an incisive introduction to Moodysson for readers interested in contemporary film, as well as a history and close analysis of changes in the Swedish film industry.

What was it like, in the Greco-Roman world of the late first century, to sit down to write a gospel, specifically, the Gospel According to Luke? Extensive scholarship has recently been focusing on Luke/Acts, the two-volume New Testament writing. This book uses such scholarship, but in an imaginative way. It sets out to follow Lukas, the author, through the whole process of writing his first part, the gospel. We are given, paragraph by paragraph, the complete gospel text in a vigorous translation, but interspersed with Lukas own human contacts and vivid experiences as he composes it.

This is A Biker Secret Baby Romance Lukas has always been the quiet kid in school, but he’s never resented himself for it. Girls were complicated and overwhelming, so he just never dated. Parties took away from other, more useful things he could be doing with his time- like striving to become a lawyer. His parents didn’t understand, and his sister- his only true friend- had passed away to leave behind a niece that Lukas adopted. Working his own law office and juggling a 15-year-old is much harder than anyone could’ve led on. Lukas’ solace in his motorcycle is about to bring him in direct contact with one woman who might compliment him perfectly. Ashley is a woman with scars- physically and mentally. Having finally worked up the courage to get a moped and work her way up to a motorcycle, she finds herself at a shop at the very right moment. Her intense fear of cars and general ‘stay-in-your-lane’ attitude brings out Lukas inner tenderness, and they immediately feel an unfamiliar attraction to each other. A lingering problem threatens Lukas and Ashley’s budding romance, and things outside their happy scene begin to work in motion to tear them apart at the seams. But will it end up bringing these two passive people even closer together? 20,000 words (Standalone) with beautiful HEA (with no cheating) and NO Cliffhangers!
