  SO WHAT DID YOU EXPECT? 
  Sometimes life isn't fair, but we expect it to be. Why else would we be so angry and hurt when it isn't? 
  Written by Joel Freeman and read by Herman Veal, in a listener-friendly and thought-provoking style, Joel Freeman encourages readers to seek a greater understanding of their feelings of loss and grief through personal reflection. He also prompts discussion about their expectations of themselves, God and others. 
  This book is not filled with glib answers, which serve to drive honest strugglers into deeper disillusionment. Drawing on his years of experience in counseling people through their grief and suffering, Dr. Freeman provides a framework upon which can be found true, lasting peace and security. 
  Endorsed by Joni Eareckson Tada, Billy Graham, Paul Meier and others, "God Is Not Fair" presents helpful insights, poignant stories and touches of humor in revealing a biblical perspective on these questions. You are about to embark upon a remarkable journey. 
  ENDORSEMENTS: 
  When I became paralyzed in a diving accident, I felt that God owed me explanations. My questions were not unlike those of most people who suffer. With wit and disarming style, Joel Freeman helps us find at least some of those answers. 
      -- Joni Eareckson Tada, Author and Speaker 
  I was going through treatment for cancer and if one more person gave me some syrupy sweet, overly illustrated, "overly Job," candy coated, "shut-up-and-put-up-God-can-do-what-He-wants-so-you-have-no-right-to-feel-anger-or-grief-or-confusion" books I was going to go insane. Then I stumbled upon this book and it blew me away. It packs a powerful message that helps answer questions, but also helps you learn to deal with life’s problems.

  🐱 Whiskers is no ordinary cat. With a knack for being in the right place at the right time and an uncanny ability to read human behavior, this clever feline has a secret life as a crime-solver. When his owner, bookstore owner Lily Perkins, becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a notorious literary critic, Whiskers takes matters into his own paws. The police see an open-and-shut case, but Whiskers knows Lily would never commit murder—her throwing arm isn't that good, for one thing. Using his feline talents for stealth, observation, and knocking things off shelves at crucial moments, Whiskers follows a trail of clues that only a cat could notice. From a suspiciously placed catnip toy to the way certain visitors scratch behind his ears (the murderer, he deduces, does it all wrong), every detail matters. But when the real killer realizes Whiskers is onto them, this feline sleuth will need all nine lives to solve the case and save his human.

  Spinning Karma - A Buddhist Comedy

  Can a New Age guru save his cult without losing his soul? 
  Spinning Karma is the story of Rinpoche Edward Schwartz, reluctant figurehead of Mind of Pure Enlightenment (MOPE), a once-popular New Age group whose current membership has sunk to an all-time low. In an ill-conceived effort to bring the group and its teachings back into the limelight, Schwartz heads to Taiwan to film a fake “religious oppression” video - starring a group of clueless language students who believe that they're taking part in an English conversation class.    
  The video goes viral and the scheme succeeds beyond Schwartz's wildest expectations, triggering a media-driven propaganda war between the United States and China that spins out of control. Before long, everybody from spiritual seekers in China and America, to an ambitious presidential contender, to the Chinese government itself wants a piece of MOPE…and of Schwartz. 
  Set in an exotic, untapped location, this erudite, offbeat, East-meets-West farce features characters and situations ripped straight from the headlines, gently mocking religious intolerance, the social media-driven news cycle, and the often confusing “Frenemies with benefits” relationship between America and China.

  HARRY: Me, I'm just a simple guy living the simple life in Mulligan's Mill. I run the hardware store. No one here suspects I'm gay—least of all that I've been quietly in love with Dean Reeves for years. He's my best friend's son. I watched him grow up gentle and gifted, always strumming something on his guitar, lost in his music. But when he turned eighteen—when he stepped out of his backyard music studio, taller, broader, with something magnetic about him— I haven't been able to unsee it since. Now he's a real-life rock star, and he's coming back to town for a break. Just for a while, he says. 
   
   
   
  DEAN: I tell everyone I just need a break from LA—the noise, the pressure, the weird messages from that stalker. But the real reason I'm going back? Harry Dalton . . . my dad's best friend. He was always there when I was growing up, but after I turned eighteen, something shifted. I started noticing the way his forearms flexed when he lifted lumber, the way his laugh rumbled low in his chest. I've been trying to convince myself it's just a crush. That he'd never look twice at a kid like me, especially now that fame and fortune have left their dirty marks on me. But I still can't stop thinking about him. Coming home is supposed to be temporary. But if Harry looks at me like I'm not just some kid with a guitar . . . I don't think I'll ever want to leave again.
