Summary

Mariah Aubrey lives in seclusion with her secrets. Will an ambitious captain uncover her identity . . . and her hidden past? 
 
Banished from the only home she's ever known, Mariah Aubrey hides herself away in an abandoned gatehouse on a distant relative's estate. There she supports herself and her loyal servant the only way she knows how--by writing novels in secret. 
 
When Captain Matthew Bryant leases the estate, he is intrigued by the beautiful girl in the gatehouse. But there are many things he doesn't know about this beguiling outcast. Will he risk his plans--and his heart--for a woman shadowed by scandal? 
 
Intriguing, mysterious, and romantic, The Girl in the Gatehouse takes readers inside the life of a secret authoress at a time when novel-writing was considered improper for ladies and the smallest hint of impropriety could change a woman's life forever.

    In a world that seems to be spinning out of control with political and social crisis, we need hope now more than ever. What if the life sustaining hope you need is found within the pages of the Bible? Take an in-depth look at Jesus’ Olivet Discourse and what it means to put our faith in Him. 
    Our world is packed with lies and loss of trust. Wars and rumors of war. Devastation and disaster. Pressure and persecution. Lawlessness and lovelessness. Some days it seems like bad news all around. And with bad news comes questions: “Why is this happening? When will it stop? What can we do?” And perhaps the most pressing of all: “Is this the end?” 
    In these hope-filled pages, bestselling author, pastor, and respected Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah focuses our attention not on the problems at hand, but on the hand of God. That’s because Jesus Himself told us what to expect from this season of history when He delivered His Olivet Discourse—a significant sermon that scholars have called “the most important single passage of prophecy in all the Bible.” 
    In The World of the End, learn how:The Bible has already laid the foundation on how we can live victoriously, even in difficult timesJesus not only calls Christians to a higher standard, but equips us with the tools and strength we need to confidently follow him dailyThe gospels contain the comfort you need to trust that God is in control and that his plan is still working to completion 
    With his trademark clarity, Dr. Jeremiah reveals exactly what Jesus promised to us—and what He expects of us—as we approach the World of the End. 
    Accompanying Bible verses and diagrams are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    Buddhist Aids To Daily Conduct

    This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 6 by Edward Greenly, 'Buddhist Aids To Daily Conduct' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. I, narrated by Christa Michel. 
     
    Excerpt: 
    ...The first thing to be observed is that Buddhism does not make what we may perhaps call a “frontal attack” upon evil. There is in it no “commandment,” no “thou shalt” or “thou shalt not,” but merely an “it is good to” or “it is not good to:” and that always for the reason “such and such a thing helps or hinders sorrow’s ceasing.” 
     
    Again, the system being not faith but knowledge, evil is, in its eyes, not “wickedness,” but a “not-understanding,” a mental blindness, a failure to see things as they really are. The remedy, then, evidently, must be “right understanding,” sane and unclouded mental vision, a coming to see things as they really are....

    Fabricating Jesus - How Modern...

    Modern historical study of the Gospels seems to give us a new portrait of Jesus every spring--just in time for Easter. The more unusual the portrait, the more it departs from the traditional view of Jesus, the more attention it gets in the popular media.
    Why are scholars so prone to fabricate a new Jesus? Why is the public so eager to accept such claims without question? What methods and assumptions predispose scholars to distort the record? Is there a more sober approach to finding the real Jesus?
    Commenting on such recent releases as Bart Ehrman's Misquoting Jesus, James Tabor's The Jesus Dynasty, Michael Baigent's The Jesus Papers and the Gospel of Judas, for which he served as an advisory board member to the National Geographic Society, Craig Evans offers a sane approach to examining the sources for understanding the historical Jesus.
