O Me of Little Faith: True Confessions of a Spiritual Weakling
by Jason BoyettIn this O Me of Little Faith Ebook, author Jason Boyett brings you a transparent and personal account of his own of struggles with doubts and unbelief in living out his faith. With humor and frankness, Boyett uses personal anecdotes and a fresh look at Scripture to explore the realities of pursuing Christ through a field of doubt.After three decades of knowing God, understanding Christianity, and living a Christian life, Boyett has come to the place where he can voice the tough questions and travel the road of uncertainty with blinders off, candor on. The message along the way is one of encouragement: Relax. Rely on the grace of a merciful God, a kind father who realizes that his finite creatures must have doubts, should have questions, and will have trouble making sense of an infinite Creator. Ultimately, Boyett concludes that doubt and faith are not polar opposites, but actually work together, existing side-by-side. Uplifting, entertaining, hopeful, O Me of Little Faith will strike a chord with you and any Christian who's dealing with the uncertainties of living life in pursuit of a God who occasionally seems to disappear.

by Julie Hodgson Aglaia Ruffino JallesUma divertida fantasia de Natal. Joe é fã número um do Natal. Ele realmente ama essa época e mal pode esperar para passá-la com sua esposa, Beth, fazendo o que eles mais gostam: comendo tortas de frutas secas, bebendo vinho quente, rindo e assistindo A Felicidade Não se Compra na TV, abraçadinhos. Porém, Beth tem uma ideia um pouco diferente esse ano. Ela parece querer viver momentos terríveis, ou por qual outro motivo ela convidaria sua mãe para visitá-los — a sogra demônio dos infernos, que odeia o Natal e tudo que o involve? Na verdade, há apenas uma coisa que ela odeia mais que o Natal... Joe. Felizmente, Joe tem um aliado nessa guerra contra a monstra mastigadora de chicletes de cabelos laranjas: o Papai Noel do shopping center que não é bem o que parece. Esse gigante Noel presenteou Joe com uma caixa mágica prometendo fazer o problema desaparecer, mas seu parceiro aparentemente inocente coloca Joe em uma aventura que ele nunca mais esquecerá. Se ele quiser chegar ao dia do Natal intacto e salvar sua esposa e filho ainda não nascido de uma vida inteira na terra do Natal, ele terá que aprender uma importante lição: a tomar cuidado com o que deseja... porque você pode conseguir.

O Ye Jigs and Julips!
by Virginia Cary HudsonWritten early in the 1900s, this collection of school compositions by an 11-year-old southern girl was discovered by relatives and published in the 1960s. Virginia writes with irreverent humor about life in a small southern town, running in hilarious tangents from her official topic. She offers her unique commentary on such subjects as "Sacraments," "Etiquette in Church," and "Education." Among the characters who parade through these pieces are rich Mrs. Porter, sweet and spicy Mrs. Harris, and the formidable Bishop of the Episcopal church. Virginia is a quick-witted tomboy who closely observes the foibles of the adults around her. She begins the opening piece: "Sacraments are what you do in church. What you do at home is something else."

O'Conors of Castle Conor, County Mayo
by Anthony TrollopeAnthony Trollope (1815-1882) was one of the most successful, prolific and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. He wrote penetrating novels on political, social, and gender issues and conflicts of his day. In 1867 Trollope left his position in the British Post Office to run for Parliament as a Liberal candidate in 1868. After he lost, he concentrated entirely on his literary career. While continuing to produce novels rapidly, he also edited the St Paul's Magazine, which published several of his novels in serial form. His first major success came with The Warden (1855) - the first of six novels set in the fictional county of Barsetshire. The comic masterpiece Barchester Towers (1857) has probably become the best-known of these. Trollope's popularity and critical success diminished in his later years, but he continued to write prolifically, and some of his later novels have acquired a good reputation. In particular, critics generally acknowledge the sweeping satire The Way We Live Now (1875) as his masterpiece. In all, Trollope wrote forty-seven novels, as well as dozens of short stories and a few books on travel.

by A. E. Hotchner"Acclaimed author and feisty nonagenarian Hotchner's witty ruminations about the art of living well into old age...with brio and a touch of his trademark sass, Hotchner writes about rediscovering love after 75, finding joy in a scrappy African gray parrot he named after his longtime friend, Ernest Hemingway, and going on his very first safari at age 88." - Kirkus ReviewsWhen youngsters in their seventies and eighties, nervously lurching toward the horizon of ninety, ask me, "What's the secret?" That's what I tell them: "O.J. in the morning, gin and tonic at night."You don't have to be in your seventies or eighties to enjoy A. E. Hotchner's elixir for aging happily, but after reading this charming collection of essays, you may wish you were.

His musings cover everything from the outlandish commercials that target the older generation (Viagra, Cialis, and Flomax) to suggestions on adapting the tennis game for seniors (he suggests lowering the net by two inches and moving all outer lines two feet inward) to the advantages of having a pet (his pet parrot often tells guests to "kiss my ass").He can equally capture the headier side of aging, which is bittersweetly revealed in his piece about divorce. With his disarming, eloquent voice and dry sense of humor, Hotch illuminates life's wisdoms through his optimistic, witty, and romantic outlook, all the while making you feel, well, not unhappy about growing older.O.J. in the Morning, G&T at Night is a book of courageous advice, humorous wisdom, and, above all, good strategies for how to stay young at heart.
