A Second Fall by James Green Price verified 50 minutes ago

As a kid, her story greeted my ears with a renewed flavour each time it came. There were stories that made children tremble with fear especially if told at night, and Mary's was one. But even so, we yearned for more. One cold evening, my aged grandma told me that she actually saw the days when Mary laboured in people's farms. So she was not an imaginary Mary but one that once lived. Knowing this has seen her story drift from a tasteful horror to a condemnable reality. It is a crime too difficult to forgive, at least, within the mind of the listener. Although many years have passed since anybody sat me down to tell about Mary, her story is still so fresh on my mind like the day my grandmother made that shocking revelation and this has maintained a burning urge to take it beyond the village square. A Second Fall tells about an injustice of the old. A lonely widow called Mary lost all to men who owe their tradition. Her blood was the price that restored calmness amidst flared multitude. None cheered her to life; none missed her when she was gone. All that Mary had was a paucity of hope - that those who worship God in spirit and in truth will truly live after they had lived.

The heroes of the Bible have come down to us through the centuries as towering figures immortalized in marble and stained glass. But the actual text of the Bible presents a far more complicated, and more encouraging, picture of these Old and New Testament saints. From Moses to Jonah, from Peter to Paul, they were like us in every way. This book tells the other side of the story you got in Sunday school.

The Adventures of Martha Lou and Me: A Collection of Short Stories by Josephine Krause (10 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

My paternal grandma, from the Deep South, was as backwoods as a body could get. She was so country, that country folk looked like high falutin city folk, compared to her. Grandma had a noteworthy Southern dialect that left me gobsmacked every time she spoke. It was fascinating, captivating, enchanting, and a tad odd. I spent my adolescent years growing up in the North having fun adventures with my sisters, especially Martha Lou, since she was the mistress of mischief. Martha Lou turned ordinary events into exciting experiences. The wheels in her brain never stopped turning. This led to many precarious and humorous exploits. As I grew older and retold the stories of my youth, I would recount them in the distinctive speaking style of my grandma, with her ever entertaining colloquialisms of the South. People found my narratives to be heartwarming, wholesome, endearing, and hilarious. If there is one thing that I aim to do... it's to make you laugh! Enjoy the collection of short, humorous, true-life stories, my friends.
