This is just one of the great challenges that Francis Chan gives us, which is why it is so good in helping us grow in our relationship with God. To start with, this put me off slightly, and made me feel uncomfortable, but the chapter turned out to be a challenge for us - how do we pray? Do we pray at God or do we look at Him and all His glory first? It tells us not to rush into praying and instead take a long hard look at God and realise who He is - the creator of all things and King of Kings. The book starts with a rather controversial statement in the title of the first chapter: 'Stop Praying'. It focuses on many points about the nature of God, so is great for people who aren't familiar with the concept of a loving God, but also contains great advice and food for spiritual growth for those who are further ahead in their journey with God, which makes it great for new Christians and those who need refreshing, making it very versatile. It has played a huge part in my spiritual growth and this is why I am choosing to write this review. Crazy Love is a really great and encouraging book by Francis Chan. ![]() ![]() ![]() Anna is alone in the world and desperate for work, so she readily accepts the prized assignment. She is selected to paint a mural that will grace the post office in Edenton, North Carolina. North Carolina, 1940: Anna Dale, an artist from New Jersey, wins a national contest. What she finds under the layers of grime is a painting that tells a story of madness, violence, and a conspiracy of small town secrets. Morgan knows nothing about art restoration, but is desperate to get out of prison, so she accepts. She will be released immediately if she accepts the assignment: restore an old post office mural in a sleepy southern town. ![]() Her dream of a career in art is on hold until two mysterious visitors makes her an offer that is too good to turn down. After taking the fall for a crime she did not commit, she's serving a three-year stint in the North Carolina Women's Correctional Center. North Carolina, 2018: Morgan Christopher's life derailed. ![]() ![]() Echoing what is transpiring now all over the U.S., libraries are being forced to remove books seen as unpatriotic-including the work of Bird’s mother, Margaret, a Chinese American poet who left the family when he was 9. For a decade, their lives have been governed by laws written to preserve “American culture” in the wake of years of economic instability and violence, including permitting authorities to relocate children of dissidents, especially those of Asian origin. Ng’s protagonist has learned not to stand out too much, or stray too far. Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving but broken father, a former linguist who now shelves books in Harvard’s library. Like her previous novel, Our Missing Hearts takes up the cause of the outsider pitted against a system and society in which injustice is the norm, even if unacknowledged. As only she can, Celeste has crafted an unforgettable and shattering commentary on this moment.” ![]() I love that this cover conveys simultaneously both that darkness and a call to move toward the light. ![]() Our Missing Hearts is a timeless depiction of motherhood and of adolescence, but Celeste has set this stunning portrait of a family in the midst of a society that has been consumed by racism, by authoritarianism, and by fear. Smith Younce told us: “It is an honor to be publishing Celeste’s brilliant third novel. ![]() The book-Ng's third-was acquired by Penguin Press executive editor Ginny Smith Younce from agent Julie Barer at The Book Group. ![]() ![]() Sara's about to find out her life was meant for so much more.

But when Zach rode into her small Texas town with his motorcycle club, Sara knew she wanted more. Sara Morrighan knew this was the best she could expect from her life.

I’ve nothing against avant garde prose - viz. The likes of Sheckley and (for the most part) Lafferty make me smile just fine. I want a plot, compelling characters, and for God’s Sake, science in my science fiction. And did I mention the extra verbiage? These magazines pay three cents per word, you know.Īn author will not impress me with her/his command of the typewriter keys beyond the 36 letters and numerals, nor with an arcane talent for stringing comma-connected clauses unbroken across a paragraph. Tediously amusing, dully droll, laden with parenthetical (uselessly so) clauses - and hyphenated articulations, sometimes “quoted” for extra sardonicism. It has become de riguer at my former favorite magazine, that of Fantasy and Science Fiction, to print “funny” literary stories. ![]() Well, more specifically, a plague has invaded Galaxy, as evidenced in the December 1962 issue. ![]() ![]() ![]() But that's precisely why it works so well. After the explosion of Mount Rainier closes the group's avenues of escape and takes out their tech, I'd been reading the book as an environmental disaster/survivalist story. To all intents and purposes, I'd forgotten about them. In fact, it was all so engrossing that when the creatures did finally show up, I was a bit disorientated. The social politics of this escape from humanity style set up are immediately apparent and entirely recognisable, each power play and misstep detailed by Kate with insight and humour. Through her perspective we get to see the place and its people with unflattering clarity. Her and her husband are the last to arrive at their new home in a super high tech version of an off-grid community and it means she's the proverbial outsider. But it takes very little time for her to get you on side. When you first meet Kate Holland she's a neurotic mess and her voice is annoying enough that if I hadn't known people were going to die excitingly awful deaths sometime soon, I might have put the book down. Despite the horror framework, the real strength of this book is not in the monsters, but in the character development. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It also notes his initial reaction upon learning that U2’s Bono and The Edge were attached to write the music.
