No Place For Darkness

No Place for Darkness was inspired by 1 John 1:5 which states, "God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." Holly Michaels, a divorced mother of two little girls, has fought through many dark times. She recognized God was absent when she allowed herself to enter into its heaviness. Upon asking God into her heart, she received special spiritual gifts that revealed a course her life would take. An opportunity for a move to Montana found Holly asking God to help her walk into his purpose for her life. Holly was referred for a secretarial job by her best friend since childhood. Did God have this in store for her? She asked God for a sign of three things if this was his plan. Holly was determined to follow God, leaving her past behind. He already had Holly writing a column for a Christian magazine. Her column focused on "Can God Be Seen in You?" Holly knew she had to be an example for others to see him in her outward joy and actions. She was teaching her eight- and three-year-old daughters how important this walk with God was. Holly was soon to encounter a future her imagination could never have envisioned.

This book was written to venture beyond interpretations of Cormac McCarthy's characters as simple, antinomian, and non-psychological; and of his landscapes as unrelated to the violent arcs of often orphaned and always emotionally isolated and socially detached characters. As McCarthy usually eschews direct indications of psychology, his landscapes allow us to infer much about their motivations. The relationship of ambivalent nostalgia for domesticity to McCarthy's descriptions of space remains relatively unexamined at book length, and through less theoretical application than close reading. By including McCarthy's latest book, this study offer the only complete study of all nine novels. Within McCarthy studies, this book extends and complicates a growing interest in space and domesticity in his work. The author combines a high regard for McCarthy's stylistic prowess with a provocative reading of how his own psychological habits around gender issues and family relations power books that only appear to be stories of masculine heroics, expressions of misogynistic fear, or antinomian rejections of civilized life.

On the morning of 7 July 2005, Peter Zimonjic, a Canadian journalist living and working in London, was travelling on an eastbound Circle line train heading towards Edgware Road. Coming in the opposite direction was a train carrying Mohammed Sidique Khan with a bag full of explosives. As the trains passed each other in the tunnel, Sidique Khan detonated his bomb. Peter's train came to a standstill and he managed to smash the window in his carriage and crawl into the carnage where he and several others spent the next hour desperately trying to help the injured and dying. Into the Darkness reconstructs the story of the day at all four bomb sites based on intensive interviews with dozens of survivors. In the form of a dramatic narrative this book documents the bravery, the triumphs, the despairs, and the shortfalls that occurred on a day when the innocence of thousands of ordinary commuters was lost forever.

BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Dean Koontz's The City. A man and a woman meet by chance in a bar. Suddenly they are fleeing the long arm of a clandestine and increasingly powerful renegade government agency -- the woman hunted for the information she possesses, the man mistaken as her comrade in a burgeoning resistance movement. The architect of the chase is a man of uncommon madness and cruelty -- ruthless, possibly psychotic, and equipped with a vast technological arsenal. He is the brazen face of an insidiously fascistic future. And he is virtually unstoppable. But he has never before come up against the likes of his current quarry. Both of them are survivors of singularly horrific pasts. Both have long been emboldened by their experiences to fight with reckless courage for their own freedom. Now they are plunged into a struggle for the freedom of their country, and for the sanctity of their own lives. Dark Rivers of the Heart is an electrifying thriller that steers us along the razor edge of a familiar, terrifying reality.

In the darkness, the battle we fight can be very detrimental, very costly. It isn’t how long or how short the battle is, but how well equipped we are for fighting the enemy. “The night is long, the battle sore, No time to stop and tally score. Keep fighting on, don’t give up ground, For soon you’ll wear the victor’s crown.” Our trust must be in God’s ability to see us through the darkest times, not in His desire to let us escape the night. “When I Sit In Darkness” is a beacon that will cast a light into your world, giving you strength for today and hope for tomorrow. From its pages, I trust that you can feel the Spirit of the Lord as the words sink deep into your soul, and bring assurance that you will survive your darkness.

This devotional book is a second book for the author, Lucy Allen. In her first work entitled The Pond, Lucy shows how God can be seen in everything in the natural world. Nature itself is a testimony to our Creator. In her new book, Pearls of Great Price, Lucy's devotional material has expanded beyond the pond, somewhat, but continues to focus on every day things to teach a spiritual lesson. Matthew 13:45-46 says this: "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls. When he found one very precious pearl, he went and sold all that he owned and bought it." Scholars liken this merchant to a Christian and the pearl as the kingdom of Christ. You will find pearls of faith, grace, hope, love, mercy, peace, promises, and salvation within these pages, and it is Lucy's prayer that the lessons contained within this book will point all merchants to the cross of Calvary. The last pearl is that of living the Christian life and knowing the tools that we have in our arsenal to walk the walk as a child of God. Will you sell out to Christ to obtain that pearl of greatest price? *All scripture references are from the King James Version or Common English Bible unless otherwise noted.
