The Man Who Cared Too Much by Darryl Kennedy Pdf

“He’s so funny, Ma. Uncle’s a bit like the Devil, isn’t he – if he knew the truth he’d only lie about it.” “Devil or not, you won’t pull the wool over his eyes. He’s always ten steps ahead. He’s like that electric hare at the greyhound races – you’re never going to catch him, no matter how hard you try.” Not a black hearted liar, more Prince of Fibs, Teresa’s uncle keeps everyone on their toes. Rich, a scholar, and ex-national boxing champion – some say a Communist crackpot – Fergus O’Flynn, with devilish cunning, teaches his pretty teenage niece higher things of life, even citing scripture, and how to fight dirty, take care of herself on Hope Street where she’s considered easy bait walking home from school. Neglect had once been his demon, allowing his own sister to die. He was never to let that happen again. Teresa prefers to watch the world from her giant fig tree. One day she is stirred into action, saving a street girl savagely beaten. She takes revenge; a plot unexpectedly hatched by her uncle. Set in Australia’s Tropics, more about school assignments than school proms; of an uncle who brings richness to Teresa’s life in guiding her to self acceptance while continually working behind the scenes. But Fergus is like those painted Russian dolls – out they come, small, large, larger again, all empty as before. Or is he? His fourth novel, Darryl Kennedy is a retired English teacher now writing fulltime in Australia.

Where We Converge by A.E. Bross Pdf

Darius Adair just wants to live in peace. He wakes up, goes to work, does his job, and comes home to a quiet studio apartment in Chicago. As a mage working to protect the magical and the mundane alike, it's as normal a life as he can have. After everything he’s been through, he deserves that much. A call in the dead of night shatters that illusion. Morgan Slavin can’t recall much. His memories are fractured, and his body feels like a thousand bits of broken glass. He only knows one thing: Time travel sucks. After completing a ritual that forced him through the timeline, his mind, body, and magic are twisted and broken. Beyond the pain and mental anguish, there's little he can reach for. He is desperate to find an anchor in this storm. After all, he came back in time to stop...what? Why had he returned? Sent by a late-night call to find the broken Morgan, Darius now must help him find out what he's come back to stop, and soon. If that wasn’t challenging enough, the longer they’re together, the more Darius feels himself drawn to Morgan, and the more willing he is to open old wounds that nearly destroyed him in the past.

#Chill by Bryan E. Robinson Pdf

Stop stressing and learn to chill with this mindfulness and meditation guidebook that can help workaholics and others let go of anxiety and achieve and maintain the healthy work/life balance they need. We all know good health and happiness depends on having proper balance between our professional and private lives. But in today’s hectic work environment, in which we must do more in less time with fewer resources, that goal can feel impossible to attain. We stay late at the office rather than being home with our families. We work into the night and on weekends to perfect that presentation or just catch up, rather than relaxing with a hobby or spending time with our friends. Under constant pressure to over-perform, work easily becomes the dominant force in our lives. Licensed psychotherapist and professor Bryan Robinson understands the demands we face. He also knows that it’s difficult to stop the cycle of over-work. But there is a solution. In #Chill, Robinson explains how ending the cycle of work addiction can be achieved by reframing priorities and cultivating mindfulness in our daily lives. He provides a month-by-month guide with meditations that help center and soothe us, allowing us to step back, close our eyes, take a long breath, and focus on the moment. Filled with wise advice, inspiring quotes, and gentle guidance, #Chill gives us the tools we need to quiet our anxiety, break our addiction to work, and bring compassion, calm, confidence, and creativity into our daily existence—and at last, have the peaceful, balanced life we all deserve.

As the Mist Scatters by Jill Penrod Pdf

After suffering an injury that will lay him up for nearly a year, St. Ninian’s Sanctuary’s maintenance man Huck Deveraux is angry. For years working at the spiritual island retreat center has been his sole identity, and it keeps demons from his past at bay. Now he’s alone and unsure who he really is. Pearl O’Day is the new head of the hospitality department at the retreat center, and she’s also the only single mother on the island. She’s not sure she belongs here, and that feeling gets worse when a few of the staff members agree that she might not shine the best light on the center. Stuck here at the bottom of the world, she wonders what will happen if she has to leave, since she has no life or family left anywhere else. But the trust that runs the sanctuary is certain she and Huck are both here for a reason, and it may have nothing to do with maintenance and laundry. Maybe God is ready for Huck to face his pain and identity, and maybe it’s time for Pearl to accept forgiveness for mistakes in her past. Toss in a little island danger and some meddling staffers, and Huck and Pearl can’t help but learn more about themselves, each other, and the mysterious island on which they live, including solving a part of the mystery surrounding the identity of the trust that runs the retreat center. As the Mist Scatters is book two of the St. Ninian’s Sanctuary series, small-town Christian contemporary romance with an island twist.
