Of the nearly 2,000 saints who died while crossing the plains, we know little about those who left nothing behind—no record of their death, no personal journals, no memories of their lives. This is particularly true for children who died on the trek, but it is also true for the parents who died alongside them. Author of Filled with His Love, Russell T. Osguthorpe, former Sunday School general president, recounts how two pioneer families in New York became one blended family, how they helped build the Nauvoo temple, struggled to leave that city beautiful, suffered while crossing the plains, and how they build a new life in Zion. Forgotten Saints is a story about the importance of relationships—the eternal attachments we form with God and with those we love. Although the historical events in the story are accurate, the details of the lives of each character are fictional. As you make the journey with this pioneer family, you will gain a deeper witness of how important attachment relationships are—both human and divine. You will draw closer to your ancestors, to your family and friends, and to God. You will acquire a deeper desire to do everything possible to ensure that no one on either side of the veil is ever forgotten.Mostra libro
Martian Homecoming by Frank Belknap Long is the story of Jim Malden, a former prizefighter trying to start over on the desolate sands of Mars. He misses the bright lights of Earth, the roar of the crowds, and the life he once had. The lonely colony is harsh, the land is empty, and the dreams of the past refuse to fade. When a terrifying Martian life-form appears, it attacks through the human mind, offering illusions so real they can destroy anyone who gives in. Jim must fight a different kind of opponent — not flesh and blood, but memory, guilt, temptation, and fear. When the deadly creature strikes, the settlers learn that courage is not only about guns and strength. It is about choosing reality over fantasy, and finding meaning in the place you stand, not the place you left. Frank Belknap Long was one of the most imaginative voices of early American science fiction and weird tales. A friend and colleague of writers like H. P. Lovecraft, he wrote across genres — horror, fantasy, science fiction, and more. His stories explored unknown worlds, strange creatures, and the human heart under pressure. Martian Homecoming shows how strongly he understood loneliness, longing, and the price of escape.Mostra libro

Europe is a dictatorship and the Asian superblock are dominated by a China that is aggressively expansionist, and an uneasy state of peace exists. Three exceptionally gifted young children flee the secret services of China and travel from Kyoto, Japan to the home of their biological father, Dr Jim Stewart, who is an international security expert living in Avon, England. Who could have thought that the dramatic chase across the continents would result in the overthrow of the dictators and the beginning of a new age of peace and progress for humankind?Mostra libro
A young man's close-knit family is nearly destitute when his uncle founds a successful spice company, changing their fortunes overnight. As they move from a cramped, ant-infested shack to a larger house on the other side of Bangalore, and try to adjust to a new way of life, the family dynamic begins to shift. Allegiances realign; marriages are arranged and begin to falter; and conflict brews ominously in the background. Things become "ghachar ghochar"—a nonsense phrase uttered by one meaning something tangled beyond repair, a knot that can't be untied. Elegantly written and punctuated by moments of unexpected warmth and humor, Ghachar Ghochar is a quietly enthralling, deeply unsettling novel about the shifting meanings—and consequences—of financial gain in contemporary India. Ghachar Ghochar was included by The New York Times in their listing of the best books of 2017 and it was nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the International Dublin Literary Award.Mostra libro
