The Spinning Jenny was invented in 1770, and with that, a new era of manufacturing and industry changed lives everywhere within a generation. A world filled with unrest wrestles for control over this new world order: A mother’s husband is killed in a work accident due to negligence; a young woman fights to fund her school for impoverished children; a well-intentioned young man unexpectedly inherits a failing business; one man ruthlessly protects his wealth no matter the cost, all the while war cries are heard from France.

Not the caliber of earlier books

This was my least favorite it was not the caliber of his earlier books. The characters were not as well defined as earlier books. I had NO trouble turning off and going to bed..

I agree with the previous review…kinky sex spoiled it. I know this author has some good story lines then seems to get lost.

Is Atheism Dead? is an entertaining, impressively wide-ranging, and decidedly provocative answer to that famous 1966 Time cover that itself provocatively asked “Is God Dead?” In a voice that is by turns witty, muscular, and poetic, Metaxas intentionally echoes C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton in cheerfully and logically making his astonishing case, along the way presenting breathtaking - and often withering - new evidence and arguments against the idea of a Creatorless universe.

When a woman's body is discovered in a cathedral and hours later a young man is found hanging from a tree outside his home, Detective Lottie Parker is called in to lead the investigation. Both bodies have the same distinctive tattoo clumsily inscribed on their legs. It's clear the pair are connected, but how? The trail leads Lottie to St Angela's, a former children's home, with a dark connection to her own family history. Suddenly the case just got personal.

It’s always the priest, and I’m not Catholic. Some creditable moments but no recommend from me.

Revisado: 04-01-18
I usually have no interest in this type of novel....none! Something in a review caused me to purchase. Maybe the thought I could get my $$ returned encouraged me to purchase. The book is extremely well written and the reader was excellent. If you have no interest in murder mysteries real or imagined this is the book for you. If you like this type of book you will truly enjoy this one.

This book held your interest and is a real ‘page turner’. I listened to it almost straight through. Her characters are lovely flawed likable people. You understand their motivation and reactions and why.

Two days before Christmas 1996, the broken, battered body of Sophie Toscan du Plantier was found outside her vacation home in West Cork, a serene region on Ireland’s idyllic southern coast. Decades later, no one has been charged with the murder, but the aggrieved inhabitants of West Cork are convinced they know who did it - and he still lives among them.

To have found God and still to pursue Him is a paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religious person, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux stated this holy paradox in a musical four-line poem.

Our relationship with God
Revisado: 08-29-17
In America we have a very shallow relationship with the living God, or at least I did. We accept Christ, go to a few Bible Studies, attend church and think we have it nailed. Then you read this and see how much more is available and needs to be pursued.

At just under five feet tall, Virginia Prodan was no match for the towering six-foot-ten-inch, gun-wielding assassin the Romanian government sent to her office to take her life. It was not the first time her life had been threatened - nor would it be the last. As a young attorney under Nicolae Ceausescu's brutal communist regime, Virginia had spent her entire life searching for the truth.
