Serving in the Rain by Ed Brennan Pdf

This book is a story about a man named Eric. Eric was born and raised on the south side of Little Rock, Arkansas, to an Irish father and an Irish English mother. The story follows Eric on his journey through his chaotic upbringing, his downward spiral into the local drug scene, and his struggles with poverty. He thinks he finds his great solace in the arms of his first love, Erica, only to discover that neither one of them are ready for the never-ending relationship that Eric is seeking. His only hope to escape the drug life and stagnate poverty of 1970s Little Rock is to join the US Air Force. While the military does help him find opportunity and stability, it cannot help him escape his demons from the past. There is hope. He does find a way through the love of a woman who helps him find God, adventure, and service to the one true King.

Nicole Michelin avoids airplanes, motorcycles, and most of all, Japan, where her parents once were missionaries. Something happened in Japan...something that sent Nicole and her father back to America alone...something of which Nicole knows only bits and pieces.

Then Harrison reveals that he knew her as a child in Japan. In fact, he knows more about her childhood than she does...

Neither Snow Nor Rain by Devin Leonard Pdf

“[The] book makes you care what happens to its main protagonist, the U.S. Postal Service itself. And, as such, it leaves you at the end in suspense.” —USA Today Founded by Benjamin Franklin, the United States Postal Service was the information network that bound far-flung Americans together, and yet, it is slowly vanishing. Critics say it is slow and archaic. Mail volume is down. The workforce is shrinking. Post offices are closing. In Neither Snow Nor Rain, journalist Devin Leonard tackles the fascinating, centuries-long history of the USPS, from the first letter carriers through Franklin’s days, when postmasters worked out of their homes and post roads cut new paths through the wilderness. Under Andrew Jackson, the post office was molded into a vast patronage machine, and by the 1870s, over seventy percent of federal employees were postal workers. As the country boomed, USPS aggressively developed new technology, from mobile post offices on railroads and airmail service to mechanical sorting machines and optical character readers. Neither Snow Nor Rain is a rich, multifaceted history, full of remarkable characters, from the stamp-collecting FDR, to the revolutionaries who challenged USPS’s monopoly on mail, to the renegade union members who brought the system—and the country—to a halt in the 1970s. “Delectably readable . . . Leonard’s account offers surprises on almost every other page . . . [and] delivers both the triumphs and travails with clarity, wit and heart.” —Chicago Tribune

Rural by Design by Randall Arendt Pdf

For America’s rural and suburban areas, new challenges demand new solutions. Author Randall Arendt meets them in an entirely new edition of Rural by Design. When this planning classic first appeared 20 years ago, it showed how creative, practical land-use planning can preserve open space and keep community character intact. The second edition shifts the focus toward infilling neighborhoods, strengthening town centers, and moving development closer to schools, shops, and jobs. New chapters cover form-based codes, visioning, sustainability, low-impact development, green infrastructure, and more, while 70 case studies show how these ideas play out in the real world. Readers —rural or not—will find practical advice about planning for the way we live now.

That is because if he comes for you, you will beg him to kill you. Lucifer is his master. Deceit is his power. Eternal life is his goal, and your youth is what he is after. Retired Special Forces expert Stormy Rain Clouds, known as Rain, has no way of knowing if he is in a dream or in the real world. Will Rain be the first to figure out how to defeat the servant of hell, or will his youth nourish the eternal life of the most evil being walking the earth?

Rain of the Ghosts is the first in Greg Weisman's series about an adventurous young girl, Rain Cacique, who discovers she has a mystery to solve, a mission to complete and, oh, yes, the ability to see ghosts. Welcome to the Prospero Keys (or as the locals call them: the Ghost Keys), a beautiful chain of tropical islands on the edge of the Bermuda Triangle. Rain Cacique is water-skiing with her two best friends Charlie and Miranda when Rain sees her father waiting for her at the dock. Sebastian Bohique, her maternal grandfather, has passed away. He was the only person who ever made Rain feel special. The only one who believed she could do something important with her life. The only thing she has left to remember him by is the armband he used to wear: two gold snakes intertwined, clasping each other's tails in their mouths. Only the armband . . . and the gift it brings: Rain can see dead people. Starting with the Dark Man: a ghost determined to reveal the Ghost Keys' hidden world of mystery and mysticism, intrigue and adventure.
