BLAME IT ON BOB AFTER YEARS OF WAITING FOR MR. RIGHT… Hometown girl Kirby Connaught was saving herself—if not for marriage, then at least for the perfect man. Someone who was husband and father material. Someone who was clearly…not the arrogant and sexy, no-strings-attached playboy at her door. So why was she having such a hard time resisting him? WAS IT OKAY TO SAMPLE A LITTLE OF MR. WRONG? Globe-trotting bachelor James Nash was the "most desirable man in America," yet suddenly a small corner of it was looking mighty appealing to him. He knew that Kirby really wanted happily-ever-after with a local boy—but what was the harm in getting her to expand her territory a little? BLAME IT ON BOB: The comet passes through only once every fifteen years…but it leaves behind a lifetime of love!

When Lourdes Shuler asks him to unite her with her sister Lupe, Alvaro doesn’t think much of it until Lourdes claims Lupe is the campesinos’ Virgin.

He suspects that Lourdes might not have a sister after all. Then, on their way to dinner, Lourdes and Alvaro pick up a tail. Lourdes admits the man could’ve been sent by her brother Andres.

Body-Poetics of the Virgin Mary by Jane Petkovic Pdf
The Judeo-Christian scriptures understand humans as being made in the image of God. What exactly does this mean? Basic agreement is that it means humans can only know and understand themselves in relation to God. If, however, this God is pure uncreated spirit, where does human embodiment fit in? Is it an obstacle to understanding? Or is it in some way instructive? John Paul II comes down decisively in favor of the body's value and importance. In his catechetical series, widely known as the Theology of the Body, John Paul II analyzes what is distinctive about human beings. He undertakes a "reading" of the body. This book reflects on John Paul II's interpretation, extending his findings to the Virgin Mary. Her specifically female, maternal body is seen to offer insights into how the body images God--in how it "speaks." The transformations of the female body parallel the transformations of language in poetry. The reconfigurations and accommodations of the gestational body are, this book suggests, poetic incarnations of God-likeness. Body-Poetics of the Virgin Mary offers a Mariological slant on theological anthropology and a new way to think of how humans poetically image God.

His twisted and troubled mind believes his mission is to kill in order to rid the world of sin. The victims are exotic dancers from the area strip clubs. It is they who sometimes appear in his dreams, and should he become aroused by them, it only proves his mission is valid. Angie Gibbs, the beautiful assistant state's attorney, has outlined the serial killers profile and, with the help of two patrolmen, Boris Greske and Tommy Arthur, set about to catch him and end his reign of terror. The two patrolmen and four other friends make up a group that plays poker every Friday evening.

The Praised and the Virgin by Rusmir Mahmutćehajić Pdf
In The Praised and the Virgin, Rusmir Mahmutćehajić provides an extended theologically and philosophically informed meditation on relations between the Muslim and Christian traditions, through the persons of Muhammad (the Praised) and Mary (the Virgin), as complementary bearers of God’s Word. He traces their presence in the extended encounter of the Abrahamic traditions that is Bosnia’s past and present, demonstrating how these traditions inform each other, while simultaneously preserving their difference and uniqueness. He lays fundamental groundwork for a more authentic dialogue, based on identity and difference in history under God, that is also a critique of inhumane ideologies and a modernity that has forsaken God and Man, again as reflected in the historical experiences of the Bosnian people.
