Download or read book The Lunch Bucket written by Henry Kurt Keppler and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prophetic call to repentance, The Lunch Bucket is about a deeply troubled and socially alienated family who struggle to make ends meet with little success until a respected member of the community intervenes to offer support. The result of an encounter with malicious intent, the heroine of the story, Rebekah births twin sons. Jacob, who resembles Rebekah’s adored father becomes her golden child, while Esau, the other one, is anything but. In explicit detail, graphically compelling and metaphorically alive, The Lunch Bucket is a disturbing and somber account of how predators exploit the most vulnerable in society without repercussion, and how God takes the most revolting in society under his care. Whether you believe in God, divine destiny and evil in man, demons or the devil, you will be caught up in the spiritual maelstrom in the lives of each of these tortured personalities, and witness a transformation of character through a convoluted path to life, that can only happen through the crucible of God, reforming his children into his will.

Download or read book Paradise Dogs written by Man Martin and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-06-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Newman once had it all. But then he lost it. Now Adam yearns to reunite with his estranged wife, Evelyn, and recapture the Edenic life they once had running Paradise Dogs, the roadside hot-dog restaurant now legendary throughout central Florida. He has a few obstacles along the way. For starters, there's his impending marriage to Lily. There's also the matter of a quarter million dollars' worth of diamonds that he mislaid, along with what appears to be a shadowy conspiracy that is buying up land around the Cross-Florida Canal (and which may or may not be a product of Adam's alcohol-infused imagination). Despite his own troubles---and a brief stay in Chattahoochee---Adam looks to mentor his son, Addison, in the ways of love. Awkward, unsure, and employed as the world's least accurate obituary writer, Addison pines for a beautiful and painfully earnest linguistic student but must compete for her attention with his older and more sophisticated half brother from Evelyn's first marriage. But if anybody can set these worlds in order, it is Adam, who has an uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time and allowing others to believe he's someone he's not. Whether it's delivering a baby, rescuing a marriage, or exposing a Communist conspiracy, our protagonist is up for the job. Paradise Dogs, from Georgia Author of the Year Award winner Man Martin, is a farcical tale of paradise lost, the American Dream, and the true measures of love

Download or read book Lunchbucket Logic written by J. Lunchbucket and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12-10 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not the rhymes of a Rhodes scholar but a lumpen proletariat thats done 30 years hard time in the worlds biggest single logging division. Contract faller death statistics in British Columbia woods exceeded those of US troops in Viet Nam. Few tree fellers survive to retire at 65. Poetry style emulates Robbie Burns & Robert Service & if it knocked Moslems as much as it mocks Christian fundamentalism, a fatwah would be declared against the author. Salman Rushdies book Satanic Verses put a million dollar price on his head but sold a few more books then. Sacred cows are not spared in this book & a few centuries earlier it would have been classed heresy, warranting a stake burning. Writers aim at controversy to sell but since popes no longer wield absolute power, they send authors to Coventry obscurity.
