Beschreibung

«Random Friends» a novel about two dwellers in a big city. Yumi, beautiful young woman architect. Once she met up with an office clerk name Daichi, their friendship revealed a deeper mystery. You'll find answers to unasked questions. Two dreamed of many, but felt lost at thirty. Why they looking for oblivion to numb their yearnings, drowning longing, cynically trampling an own portrait from charming youth? Yumi has led a shadowy life, having been a solo parkour tracer. She had drawn attention by being caught on CCTV and the footage went straight to the Osaka News channel. Her face was hooded, dressed pretty unusual, an oversized jacket, backpack, earphones over the hood, and two pigtails that sometimes slipped out. Her tough, obscure style immediately makes her popular, but she didn't wish so. Yumi has crossed the barrier, where the past has been thrown into the dustbin, but the future is yet to come. Two spare time together, having dinner, drinking a lot, musing on the ideas of Julius Evola. Their tricky humour was off the charts and friendship revealed deep secrets, but could they stay together despite the blows of fate?
Here's to more cheerful moments and bright days! I wonder why you're here, cause it's not like anyone reads my books. You're interested in my literature, aren't you? But my novellas are for the poor. Me too was avoiding the downpour and dozing under the bridge. I've been dispirited and shed tears, but I don't hold anyone accountable, because there is no one, and nothing at all. You wouldn't believe me though. Nevermind, I forgive you and granting access to read my books as complement.

Wild Grace - What Happens When...

Max Lucado

Today’s teens are being shaped by the pressures and disappointments of the world. But Max Lucado encourages them to take a close look at what can shape their hearts and their futures from the inside out—God’s grace. 
As Max explains, "God’s grace has a drenching about it. A wildness about it. A whitewater, riptide, turn-you-upside-downness about it. Grace comes after you." Wild Grace gives teens an understanding of how grace can change their lives in powerful ways, even when those lives are messed up, off track, or in trouble. Each chapter describes another miracle that happens when we allow God’s grace to work on us and through us: 
“Grace is God’s decision to change everything. Good-bye, earthly labels. Stupid. Unpopular. Ugly. Failure. No longer. You aren’t who they say you are. You are who He says you are. Spiritually alive. Connected to God. Amazing.” 
Teens will be convinced that God knew what He was doing when He made them and His grace is always there, ready to work wonders that are bigger than anything this world has to offer. 
Discussion questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
