If you think Christian books are boring, my darling, think again. In a turn of events and encounter Marcus must learn hard lessons of forgiveness, patience, control, and trusting God’s timing because nothing’s lost when God is involved. ![]() Seeing how God takes this ugly chapter of Marcus’s life and turns it into a beautiful story is just so characteristic of Him. To feel closer to her, he sets out to see her Homeland and understand the very thing she was willing to die for. We watch Marcus realize that he is just a man, and that is a hard pill to swallow for this man whose seemingly larger than life. The helplessness of that moment is something no one should feel. Marcus reminds me so much of King Solomon, with all the money, wisdom, and lavishness of the Roman empire at his beck and still had something missing.Īn Echo in the Darkness chronicles the story of a man who watches the love of his life die and is unable to do anything to stop it. ![]()

With this remarkable third collection, Smith establishes herself among the best poets of her generation. These poems reveal the realities of life lived here, on the ground, where a daughter is imprisoned in the basement by her own father, where celebrities and pop stars walk among us, and where the poet herself loses her father, one of the engineers who worked on the Hubble Space Telescope. Smith envisions a sci-fi future sucked clean of any real dangers, contemplates the dark matter that keeps people both close and distant, and revisits the kitschy concepts like "love" and "illness" now relegated to the Museum of Obsolescence. With allusions to David Bowie and interplanetary travel, Life on Mars imagines a soundtrack for the universe to accompany the discoveries, failures, and oddities of human existence. ![]() ![]() You lie there kicking like a baby, waiting for God himself Smith, whose "lyric brilliance and political impulses never falter" ( Publishers Weekly, starred review) New poetry by the award-winning poet Tracy K. * A New Yorker, Library Journal and Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year * * A New York Times Notable Book of 2011 and New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice * ![]() ![]() ![]() Philosophically there was nothing extraordinary in Christian principles. I had seen in other lives just the same reformation that I had heard of among Christians. The pious lives of Christians did not give me anything that the lives of men of other faiths had failed to give. His death on the Cross was a great example to the world, but that there was anything like a mysterious or miraculous virtue in it my heart could not accept. I could accept Jesus as a martyr, an embodiment of sacrifice, and a divine teacher, but not as the most perfect man ever born. Again, according to Christianity only human beings had souls, and not other living beings, for whom death meant complete extinction while I held a contrary belief. Metaphorically there might be some truth in it. My reason was not ready to believe literally that Jesus by his death and by his blood redeemed the sins of the world. If Jesus was like God, or God Himself, then all men were like God and could be God Himself. If God could have sons, all of us were His sons. It was more than I could believe that Jesus was the only incarnate son of God, and that only he who believed in him would have everlasting life. ![]() ![]() ![]() Oh my gosh, there are stories upon stories upon stories that you hear … no apology.

What made me sad though, was coming home and reading the negative reviews. Heh, whatever! I finished the whole thing AND kept my heart rate in the 130s the whole time. I actually rode one of the bikes and was sitting in the front row where people walk past and I probably couldn't have chosen a more children's-looking book. So I thought I'd bring something easy that didn't require a lot of concentration since they play music in the gym and I normally can't read if I hear music with words, but there was just enough ambient noise for me to block it out. I took this with me to the gym today, I've been going to the gym regularly for the first time in my life to try to correct some injuries instead of succumbing to surgery and I wanted to try to read while exercising. It might be difficult to tell from the page count, but this is actually a graphic novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() “A romance that is food for the soul and a love story that is simply unforgettable.” - Angie's Dreamy Reads ![]() This Review was Posted at Angie's Dreamy Reads!
