A Killer's Grace by Ronald Chapman Pdf

For Kevin Pitcairn, the letter from a serial killer awaiting execution comes with implications he can’t ignore. The writer’s guilt is clear—at least in a legal sense. But the questions he raises draw Pitcairn into a compelling journey of investigation whose profound psychological and spiritual implications hurl his live into upheaval. As he tries to determine and tell the killer’s true story, Pitcairn plunges deeper into the pit his own demons have created and trapped him in. His journalist’s curiosity becomes a compulsion as events bind him tighter and tighter, propelling him from New Mexico’s stark high desert into an increasingly hostile wider world. Murder, mystery, and redemption shape Pitcairn’s struggle to answer the moral questions left festering by the killer’s horrible crimes: What is the nature of evil? What choices do any of us truly have? How can we reconcile with our most painful wounds and the people who have inflicted them?

The Dark Side of Grace by Ronald Chapman Pdf

A devastating terrorist bomb blast at a spiritual retreat outside Santa Fe, New Mexico, sends journalist Kevin Pitcairn and his beloved Emmy on a quixotic quest to understand the roots of violence. Traveling across the country deep into the bowels of Southern Appalachia, their search takes them through a long-standing rift in the American consciousness to confrontations with remarkable and anomalous characters, some of them deeply spiritual, others well-grounded in research and psychology. In this sequel to the much-acclaimed A Killer's Grace, Pitcairn and Emmy return to the exploration of innocence while adding to it a deepening understanding of injury and ordeal--and its amazing corollary of Post-Traumatic Growth. As the quest and its dangers rip their lives apart, doors open that lure them back and forth across the country in search of tendrils tying together the events and anguish, as well as bringing the protagonists more deeply together.

Days of Grace by Catherine Hall Pdf

At the beginning of World War II, twelve-year-old Nora Lynch is one of thousands of London children sent away to the safety of the English countryside. Her surrogate family, Reverend and Mrs. Rivers and their daughter Grace, are like no-one she has ever met, offering shelter, affection, and the sister she never had. But Nora is too young and too naïve to understand the cracks beneath the surface of her idyllic new life at the rectory, or the disappointments of the Riverses' marriage. And as her friendship with Grace grows more intense, she aches to become even closer. What happens next is a secret that she keeps for more than fifty years, a secret that she can begin to reveal only when, elderly and alone, Nora knows that she is close to the end. A beautiful meditation on love, friendship, and family, Days of Grace is a stunning debut that brings a tumultuous era to life. Nora tells her story in alternating chapters from the past and present, projecting her childhood nostalgia with a cinematic glow.

Give Me Grace by Bethany A. Perry Pdf

It’s been six weeks since Halloween. Six weeks since Grace stumbled into the ER, almost dead and begging for help. Six weeks since she lost every single memory, including her own name. Taken in by the mysterious Sisters of the Order of Saint Raphael the Healer, Grace’s wounds are dressed and she is assured her memories will return—in time. But does Grace want her memories back? Maybe she’s chosen to forget them, maybe there’s a reason. The sisters hide things from her. They whisper things about her. When a demon forces its way into the convent, it declares that Grace is a demon too. Grace demands answers. Answers that may reveal not only who she is, but that the sisters might not be who they say they are, either.

Driven by Pain, Changed by Grace by Peter Lyndon-James,Tbd Pdf

Following on from Tough Love, Peter Lyndon-James offers a darker, grittier and more detailed insight into his past in his second book, Driven by Pain, Changed by Grace.With the same disarming, plain-spoken honesty, Peter leaves no stone unturned in relating his experiences with drugs, crime, violence, suicide and sexual abuse in a dark narrative that is painful to read, yet impossible to put down.From his early childhood Peter recounts a heart-breaking tale of abandonment, neglect and abuse, dove-tailing into an adolescence dominated by juvenile and criminal institutions that were to forge the broken sense of self that would drive his drug addiction and criminal lifestyle.Using the skills he learned from the juvenile detention and prison system, complemented with the unforgiving lessons of the street, Peter entered adulthood as a volatile, violent man intent on a destructive path that would lead him and his wife Amanda on a nomadic journey across Australia. Barely a step ahead of the law, steeped in dysfunction, Peter's downward spiral seemed unstoppable, even the birth of his children scarcely slowing his appetite for drugs and crime. Despite the dark world Peter inhabited, a seed of hope had been planted in him by Broken Chain Ministry as a young teenager. With occasional glimpses of the divine, it was this seed that would grow, against all odds, into a yearning for something more powerful than the carnage that ruled his life up to that point.A series of inexplicable incidents opened Peter's heart to something that would eventually lead him to become one of Australia's most effective healers of men and families that are broken by life-controlling addiction. As founder and CEO of Australia's largest and strictest rehab, Peter's life has transformed beyond belief, casting him as an unlikely saviour of desperate, damaged people that have been annihilated by drugs and substances.From the darkness comes a dawn. Just as grace has made whole a broken life, Peter's second book reveals the true power of real transformation from the very deepest level and the impact it has on friends, family and strangers alike.
