Historia
The day Adam Dunne's girlfriend, Sarah, fails to return from a Barcelona business trip, his perfect life begins to fall apart. Days later, the arrival of her passport and a note that reads "I'm sorry - S" sets off real alarm bells. He vows to do whatever it takes to find her. Adam is puzzled when he connects Sarah to a cruise ship called the Celebrate - and to a woman, Estelle, who disappeared from the same ship in eerily similar circumstances almost exactly a year before. To get answers, Adam must confront some difficult truths.

Right up to the ending it was a suprise
Revisado: 05-30-22
very well thought out mystery written to keep you guessing. the reading was done in a n Irish accent adding to it's sense of being a true story and not a work of fiction.

Historia
In March 2019, the Viking Sky cruise ship was struck by a bomb cyclone in the North Atlantic. Rocked by 50-foot swells and 40-knot gales, the ship lost power and began to drift straight toward the notoriously dangerous Hustadvika coast in Norway. This is the suspenseful, harrowing, funny, touching story by one passenger who contemplated death aboard that ship.

I really wanted to like it
Revisado: 02-03-22
My expectations and Hiding in the Light were not on the same page. The reality fell short as a memoir and telling me much at all about the Muslim family. I'm not sure what I expect, it is a Christian witness but it's more a critique of the American Justice System. It might have been better read by someone else, I'm sorry but your voice comes across whiny which detracted from the seriousness, for me. I do wish you the best in your life and pray that God will use you to help bring other young Muslim women to Jesus.

Historia
Paul was reading a newspaper. Catherine was reading a novel. So begins Room on the Sea, André Aciman's scorching and elegiac love-story about a middle-aged man and woman who meet in the bullpen of jury selection and spend a sultry summer’s week trespassing ever further into each other's hearts. What begins as a flirtation quickly evolves into something deeper, something Paul and Catherine must carry on in secret - and with the understanding that anything more than a casual crush is out of the question.

Historia
William burst into the house. "I have found my destiny!" he shouted. "I have found a place where there is so much human misery in such a small space that there is a lifetime's worth of work there for me!" Horrified by the poverty and suffering most people took for granted in industrial England, William Booth dedicated his life to bringing the Gospel to the outcasts of society who would never enter a church and weren't welcome there.

The story of amazing compassion
Revisado: 12-22-21
Since learning about the Salvation Army in my Sociology course I have often wondered it's founders, their motivation and about the Salvation Army's success that continues to amaze. This comprehensive story tells of commitment to God and compassion for others. Beautifully written and read.

Historia
In the Nevada desert, an experiment has gone horribly wrong. A cloud of nanoparticles (micro-robots) has escaped from the laboratory. This cloud is self-sustaining and self-reproducing. It is intelligent and learns from experience. For all practical purposes, it is alive. It has been programmed as a predator. It is evolving swiftly, becoming more deadly with each passing hour. Every attempt to destroy it has failed. And we are the prey.

Very intreguing
Revisado: 02-05-19
I like to listen to my audio books at bedtime. This is not one of those books... unless you want to be awake until 4:30 in the morning. A good deal of technical information makes it incredibly plausible, it's very well written and although I have been excited by the medical advances made due to nano technology, I'm questioning again... just because we can doesn't mean we should!

Historia
In Our Endangered Values, Carter offers a personal consideration of "moral values" as they relate to the important issues of the day. He puts forward a passionate defense of separation of church and state, and a strong warning of where the country is heading as the lines between politics and rigid religious fundamentalism are blurred.

Timeless Wisdom
Revisado: 01-30-19
President Carter offers a thought provoking look at American society and how it has been shaped by government policies. By presenting accounts of his personal life and the choices he made along the way it gives the reader a greater understanding of how having a moral compass is able to guide us to have compassion and respect for others and ourselves. At a time in history when it seems like we have lost our way and personal attacks on an individual's character have become the norms it's a breathe of fresh air to take a step back and say we can be our better angels. President Carter encourages us in this book to do just that.

more of an introduction to a book than a book
Revisado: 01-30-19
Author does a good job at explaining what visualization is but no further. There are no guided meditations, no methods to use, only an introduction to the principles practice to the laws of attraction, or another positive thinking book. If you are good at meditation already it might be beneficial.
