Böcker av Robert Simms

Smith v. Jones is a compilation of two dozen stories of everyday people who go to court over civil disputes. Some of the most interesting drama in any town or county are never in the newspaper and never known to most people except those involved. But they are stories that are often riveting, and either evoking pathos or just entertaining. You can't make this stuff up, but it's going on right under your nose.

A verse-by-verse commentary on the Old Testament prophecy of Hosea, designed with both the minister and non-minister in mind. Discover the startlingly relevant message of this prophet of more than 2,700 years ago, as he preached both a stern word of warning and a strong word of entreaty to the northern kingdom of Israel, about to be overrun by the Assyrian empire.

A comprehensive study of Bible passages relating to judges and the concept of justice, with personal illustrations from the judicial career of the author.

A young professional returns to his college campus and sees an old girlfriend. A businessman meets a stranger who makes him an offer he can't refuse. A couch potato discovers a one-of-a-kind electronic gadget that could change his life. A disillusioned husband searches for a way out of his dead-end life. A lawyer makes an appeal for a second chance at love. These and others share a special connection in this book: they experience an unexpected twist in life events that surprises them -- sometimes dramatically. In Seven Short Twists, Robert Simms tells the tales of seven men caught up in the passions of their lives. For some of them, their pasts catch up with them. For others, their regrets haunt them. For most of them, lost loves linger in their dreams. Unexpected encounters lead to unanticipated endings. Robert Simms draws on his imagination, classic themes, and some of his own haunting memories to tell seven tales that will touch some chord in every reader's heart.

The New Testament says the Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Church at Laodicea. Apart from some fakes produced later in history, we have no idea what happened to to this letter. What if it simply never got to the church, because somebody didn't want it to be read? From a messenger leaving Rome, to a devious church leader, to musty libraries in cities from Asia to Europe, to the hands of frightened churchmen in England and the States, follow the passage of the letter from obscurity to publication 2,000 years later. Is it the real deal?
