My Romance


Book Description

This is Damiano Bivona’s autobiography. Written originally in Sicilian, and translated by his daughter-in-law, an absolutely extraordinary story ultimately unfolded. What wonders this poor, uneducated immigrant was able to accomplish in his sadly short life (he passed away in an accident when he was only fifty-one years old). The life story that this beloved grandfather lived was truly unique, and profoundly exceptional. A window into history of both Italy and America, in this book lives on the spirit of ambition, hard work and family ties.




My Romance with God


Book Description

Our relationship with God tends to be complicated because He knows us only too well while we are limited in our knowledge and to our ignorance of God. As a result, our bond with Him strains as it weaves in and out of an ambivalent and whimsical love-hate relationship. This book is for Christians who are confused, lost and entangled in this intricate web with God. Having our faith constantly challenged, we find ourselves tired and mired in a relationship that seems to be running out of steam. The daily battles we fight to survive are more than we can handle, let alone having to deal with an unpredictable and unfathomable God. My Romance with God chronicles an episode in my life that reveals a glimpse of God. It captures pieces of an intangible portrait that paints an enigmatic yet vibrant relationship that can prove overwhelming, and yet quenching the thirst and satisfying the hunger of our spirit. Knowing the Word is good. Understanding it is even better. But living it is best, because it is only by living the Word that one can truly believe. I know that God spoke to me through these pages. I know that He will also speak to those who read it. "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like Eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." (Isaiah 40:31)

Love on the Racks


Book Description

For the better part of three decades romance comics were an American institution. Nearly 6000 titles were published between 1947 and 1977, and for a time one in five comics sold in the U.S. was a romance comic. This first full-length study examines the several types of romance comics, their creators and publishing history. The author explores significant periods in the development of the genre, including the origins of Archie Comics and other teen publications, the romance comic "boom and bust" of the 1950s, and their sudden disappearance when fantasy and superhero comics began to dominate in the late 1970s.




Come My Love


Book Description

Come My Love By: Claudette T. Bourque Kathleen’s life seems perfect: She is running a very successful business in Austin, Texas, and her boyfriend is crazy about her. But when Kathleen starts having a recurring nightmare in which she is the dying wife of a mysterious man, she begins to wonder if her life is really all that fulfilling. This dissatisfaction leads Kathleen back to her childhood roots, Elm Bluff, Alabama, where she purchases a stately, and slightly rundown, Victorian mansion built by the handsome Dr. Matthew Stone in 1868—shortly before the death of his wife. One night during a rainstorm, Kathleen is shocked to see Dr. Stone walk into her bedroom. Could it really be him, or is he just a figment of her imagination? Kathleen will soon come to find that her new home is so much more than just a house—it’s a pathway to her future.
