His secret could destroy them both...Ever since aliens secretly colonized her small hometown of Harbor, Kansas, Olivia Hall knew that her life would be full of adventure. She never dreamed that adventure would include sharing a soulmate bond with a towering, glowering Cygnian warrior. She knows Bron feels their connection, but doesn't understand why he's fighting it. She's determined to break through the walls her huge, blue soulmate has erected around himself.Bron has always held himself apart from other Cygnians. He is the only Cygnian cyborg. Few know his secret, and he is honor-bound to keep it that way, even as his mechanical systems begin to malfunction with no hope for repair. When he meets a human woman whose gentle nature and soft touch brings his biological systems to the forefront, he must decide whether to try to build a life with her or let his own be forfeit.When the pair make their way to the homeworld of the incredibly secretive aliens who saved Bron's life by turning him into a cyborg, they uncover more danger than they imagined. The enemy behind Bron's cybernetic malfunctions isn't done with him yet. Can Bron and Olivia's love see them through the challenges of an icy ocean-planet, or are they destined to sink into darkness?

England, late April, 1926 When Henry Astley, Duke of Sutherland, turns up dead in bed at the end of an afternoon spent calling his family on the carpet, everyone assumes that the excitement finished the old boy off. He was quite old and also quite vociferous in his opinions, so it isn't an unreasonable assumption. It isn't until the next morning, when the duke's valet and confidant is found shot to death in the hedge maze, that the whole thing takes on a more sinister cast. Bright Young Thing Philippa Darling, her best friend Christopher and his brother Francis, as well as their parents, Lord and Lady Herbert, have all been summoned to Sutherland Hall for a dressing down. So has cousin Crispin, the future duke, along with his parents, the Viscount and Viscountess St George. Everyone has a string of small peccadillos they're trying to hide, along with a few guilty secrets they don't want anyone to know about. The only question is, which secret was worth killing for? Pippa isn't worried on her own behalf. She had no reason to want the duke dead. But when it looks like suspicion might fall on Christopher, she has no choice but to step up. She'll sacrifice Francis if she has to, and would throw Crispin to the wolves without a second thought, but Scotland Yard will arrest Christopher over her dead body. And it might just come to that.
England, early May, 1926After the funerals of the late Duke of Sutherland and his daughter-in-law, Charlotte, (and of course Grimsby, the blackmailing valet), the younger members of the family-Philippa Darling, her cousins Christopher and Francis, and Crispin, Viscount St George-are invited to a weekend party at the Dower House in Dorset by Dowager Lady Peckham's children, Constance and Gilbert. Once in Dorset, things go sideways very quickly. Lady Peckham's ward, the lovely Dutch emigree Johanna de Vos, has been making a dead set at Crispin, and has had him all to herself for the past few days. Constance's time has been monopolized by Francis, while Pippa wouldn't throw Crispin a rope if he were going down for the third time. However, the house party also includes the beautiful Lady Laetitia Marsden, a former dalliance of Crispin's, and she doesn't take the competition for his affections-or his title and fortune-lying down. As a result, when the lovely Johanna is found murdered, the suspects are plentiful. Did Lady Laetitia decide to remove her rival? Did Lord Geoffrey, her brother, the handsy one, lose control and strangle the woman he was trying to seduce? Or perhaps Crispin was tired of the relentless pursuit, and took matters into his own hands? When Lady Peckham also dies, miles away in Wiltshire, the case develops yet one more wrinkle. Now Pippa, with some help from Christopher, must figure out who wanted the two women dead, hopefully before the murderer can consign them to the same fate.

He's got custody of his four-year-old nephew, a boy who's never had a real Christmas. Years ago, Marlie was always crushing on this larger-than-life troublemaker, but she never breathed a word because her family would have disapproved. Through all of high school, she kept her head down, folding origami cranes and cutting paper snowflakes.

"The Qur'an addresses most issues that concern human beings with constant references to the ultimate Reality and Truth. Considerable emphasis is given to relative time and human concerns on earth and the connection between the inseparability of the relative and the Absolute. The Qur'an emphasises that anything that exists or happens is due to God and equally emphasises human responsibility to act and live with clear accountability to God. The main difference between other traditions and religions at the time of the Prophet Muhammad is the perplexing notion that, in truth, there is only God, and all else are shadows in this Light. To understand the Qur'an and use it as a template, this brief background is necessary. This booklet presents extracts from talks I have given on the subject, arranged in six themes: Context and Action, the Self, Understanding, Transformation, Awakening and lastly Oneness and Balance." From the introduction by Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri

This book is a gem of a gift to those who desire more intimate fellowship with God... Scripture Comes to Life beckons the reader to pull up a chair and join Jesus and the author in the journey of a lifetime.The Rev. Jan de Chambrier, author, minister, missionaryIs biblical wisdom still relevant to everyday life in our post-modern, relativistic world of the 21st century? Since being introduced to Jesus Christ and the Bible in her twenties, Ruth Stitt has been both a passionate follower of Christ and zealous student of Scripture. Her answer in this book is a resounding yes, with dozens of examples of how Scripture is still alive and speaking to those who will listen.Throughout her life journey, the author has raised a family, performed as a jazz musician, counseled for 30 years as a licensed therapist, was ordained to ministry, served as a professor of psychology and a counselor educator, and led worship at countless services and events. After completing her Master of Divinity in 2017, Ruth's varied life experiences and intensive study converged to inspire a blog called Scripture Comes to Life, which she has published weekly since. This book is a compilation of the richest of her insights from a lifetime of reflection on how Scripture can be applied in every aspect of life, and how every experience in life can point us back to Scripture. We need only to stand at the intersection and look for clues.For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.Hebrews 4:12
