The Man Who Walked In The Dark

All things found. All things fixed. Jude Demarco will take any job in the station-city of Nicodemia, so long as it doesn't involve art or religion. People care too much about art and religion, and where there's passion, life gets messy. Then Charlotte Beck walks into his life with a lit cigarette and a lousy deal. She needs him to track down a stolen painting--one that's sought after by art collectors, criminal masterminds, and the Catholic Church. To find it, she needs to locate the men who stole it. She won't take no for an answer. In a city where crime lords are saints and good deeds are a commodity, Demarco soon discovers that if he wants the truth about his own dangerous past, then he's going to need to bend some rules. And life is going to get messy.

One day Eva Piper was an elementary school teacher, the mother of three, the beloved wife of a strong, protective husband. The next day she stood at the bedside of a broken man who could do nothing but moan in agony and turn his head away from her. Later she would learn that he had died and actually experienced heaven before being prayed back to life—a true miracle. Don Piper’s testimony, told in the New York Times bestseller 90 Minutes in Heaven, would one day bring hope to thousands. But all that was in the future. Despite family and friends who kept vigil with her, Eva Piper found herself essentially alone. Walking in the dark. And she had always hated the dark. Though it parallels that of her husband, Eva Piper’s account is quite different from his. It takes readers not to heavenly places but through a very earthly maze of hospital corridors, insurance forms, tiring commutes from home to workplace and hospital, and lonely hours of waiting and worrying. This is the story of a woman learning, step by darkened step, to go places she never thought she could go and growing into a person she never thought she could be. Packed with hard-earned wisdom about what it means to be a caregiver, to open yourself to the care of others, and to rest in God’s provision, this bookprovides a dependable source of light to help you walk through the dark.

In this long awaited follow-up to the best-selling An Altar in the World, Barbara Brown Taylor explores ‘the treasures of darkness’ that the Bible speaks about. What can we learn about the ways of God when we cannot see the way ahead, are lost, alone, frightened, not in control or when the world around us seems to have descended into darkness?

Unknown to Trong, scouts had reported increased American activity to the southeast of the camp, which possibly meant the Americans were moving into the area. Every precaution had been taken to ensure that the camp was not taken by surprise. Patrols were sent out daily. Observation posts were placed well forward of the camp, and fighting positions around the camp were manned at all times. Trong checked his equipment one more time as he waited for the Americans. He slid the bolt back on his Soviet-made AK-47, making sure that a round was chambered. Next, he checked the green plastic American-made detonator, which was attached to the Chinese claymore mine located thirty meters from his position. He thought himself ready and tried to fight the panic that assailed his mind. He thought of what his section leader had told him. “Wait until the Americans are close to the mine before detonating it. Then use your rifle to kill any of the Americans that are left alive.” Chester Porter was born and raised in Texas.
