Every normal and average Christian is within grasping reach of victory. The author of this book came to know Jesus at a time when her life was on a downward spiral. God gently taught her how to rise above all that was pulling her life in to darkness.

Poetry from the insane world of bipolar disorder type II.Poetry from the insane world of bipolar disorder type II. Over the 4 decades I have lived with this disorder I have found that sometimes it overflows me and just needs to get out before I lose my mind. The poetry contained herein is the result. This book contains poems written from the depths of bipolar depression and the heights of mania. It is my hope that they may shed some light on what it is like to live with such insanity. It is also my hope that others who suffer with a mental disorder may find some common ground here and that it will help them to realize that they are not alone with it. Humans are by nature social creatures and to be so alone with such a monster is the absolute worst state that a human heart can find itself in. I titles it "Dichotomies" because that is exactly what bipolar disorder is - one huge dichotomy.

Four thrilling books. Read the entire series in one collection! Nocturnal Seventeen-year-old Ava-Claire Sullivan isn't one for doing the expected. Especially when she finds out her mother's cancer is terminal. After a crying session in the local cemetery where she's attacked by one strange guy and saved by another, she doesn't call the cops. Because those guys definitely weren't your average hooligans. And the one who sort-of saved her? Well, he's odd. He doesn't seem to breathe or smile or have anything better to do than wait in the cemetery for Ava to come back. Which she does. Call it morbid curiosity. Even after her warns her that he's dangerous, she can't stop wanting to see him, talk to him, be with him. There's something about Peter that provides a much-needed escape from her mother's diagnosis and her tenuous relationship with her father. Even her best friends Jamie and Texas don't know what it's like to face death. But Peter does. He already has. He also made a promise a long time ago that could destroy both of them. When everything in your life is falling apart, what are you willing to give up to hold onto the one thing that could last forever? Nightmare Ava-Claire Sullivan's first mistake was becoming vampire Peter Mackintire's personal blood bank. Her second mistake was falling in love with him. Now it's Ava's job to make sure he never loves her in return. A pact Peter made nearly a hundred years ago means loving someone will kill him. If she can figure out how to free him from his promise, it might kill her, make her immortal, or lead to the love she wants so badly. But if she doesn't, at best her heart will break...and at worst, Peter will die. Neither For Ava-Claire Sullivan, it's bad enough that loving vampire Peter Mackintire might kill him the rest of the way. His equally immortal mother keeps trying to murder her so Di won't lose another of her precious sons. A promise Peter made nearly a hundred years ago means loving someone will kill him. Ava's done her best to either end her own feelings or stifle his, but she's losing; he's falling harder for her every night. She hasn't found a way to free him of his promise yet, and it's almost too late. But her own terminally ill mother is dying fast, and now Ava-Claire is forced to choose between the last days of her mother's life and freeing Peter as they wait for Di to come up with yet another plan to destroy their love, and Ava's life. Neverend Ava-Claire Sullivan is ready for immortality. Peter Mackintire is ready to give it to her. Texas Hamilton is afraid of losing her best friend. Viktor Belikov is just trying to figure out what he wants.

After being dumped by his longtime girlfriend, twenty-eight-year-old Justin Halpern found himself living at home with his seventy-three-year-old dad. Sam Halpern, who is "like Socrates, but angrier, and with worse hair," has never minced words, and when Justin moved back home, he began to record all the ridiculous things his dad said to him: "That woman was sexy. . . . Out of your league? Son, let women figure out why they won't screw you. Don't do it for them." "Do people your age know how to comb their hair? It looks like two squirrels crawled on their heads and started fucking." "The worst thing you can be is a liar. . . . Okay, fine, yes, the worst thing you can be is a Nazi, but then number two is liar. Nazi one, liar two." More than a million people now follow Mr. Halpern's philosophical musings on Twitter, and in this book, his son weaves a brilliantly funny, touching coming-of-age memoir around the best of his quotes. An all-American story that unfolds on the Little League field, in Denny's, during excruciating family road trips, and, most frequently, in the Halperns' kitchen over bowls of Grape-Nuts, Sht My Dad Says* is a chaotic, hilarious, true portrait of a father-son relationship from a major new comic voice.
