First time. Second chance. Third Life. My first time was with him--one hot weekend with a handsome stranger. It was supposed to be a one-time thing, but he keeps asking me to meet him all over the world, and I keep saying yes. I don't know anything about him except his first name. That's the way he likes it. He's too old for me, and he's hiding secrets, but I'm not going to be able to keep my heart out of it for long.

From the New York Times–bestselling author of The Color Purple: A “moving, tender” novel of a Deep South tenant farmer’s quest for a new life (Publishers Weekly). Grange Copeland, a deeply conflicted and struggling tenant farmer in the Deep South of the 1930s, leaves his family and everything he’s ever known to find happiness and respect in the cold cities of the North. This misadventure, his “second life,” proves a dismal failure that sends him back where he came from to confront his now-grown-up son’s disastrous relationships with his own family, including Grange’s granddaughter, Ruth Copeland, a child that Grange grows to love. Love becomes the substance of his third and final life. He spends it in devotion to Ruth, teaching and protecting her—though the cost of doing so is almost more than he can bear. From a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner, this is an “honest sensitive tale . . . leavened by those moments of humor and warmth that have enabled men and women to endure so much tragedy” (Chicago Daily News). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alice Walker including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

Meridian draws from Walker’s own experiences working alongside some of the heroes of the civil rights movement, and the novel stands as a shrewd and affecting document of the dissolution of the Jim Crow South. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alice Walker including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.
Twenty-eight years ago, T. L. Newcomer began having thoughts that lingered and dominated his mind; he could think of nothing else until he began to write them down. Now he has collected these messages and is sharing them in this new volume in order to encourage others to use them to allow their minds the freedom to explore their thoughts. This, he hopes, will provide you with the opportunity to grow and expand your mind. Those thoughts may take you, as they have him, to places you have never been before and help you experience new emotions and feelings. Thoughts offers a compendium of short contemplations on themes from everyday life. In it, Newcomer shares his thoughts, musings, and moments of growth and insight from his life, seeking to inspire deeper thought and understanding in others. Christ will not deny you anything you need. You will have all the advantages of the first life along with all the emotions of the second life. You will have the better of two lives. In a life with Christ, there is much joy and happiness, and the sorrows are easier to bear. Without Christ, life will be over in a few years, but with Christ, there is the knowledge that after the second death, the third and best life begins, for each life is lived to prepare for the next life.

At this very crucial juncture of Tibet’s history sharing of experiences of the Tibetan elders is a must for a deeper understanding of our people’s history, and culture by the younger Tibetan generation. As indicated by the very title of the book, Kirti Rinpoche not only has a good understanding of religion, culture and everyday life in Tibet before the invasion of the Chinese Communists, but he also witnessed the Communist invasion, the suppression of the Tibetan people, and the flight into exile. As opposed to what is happening in Tibet itself he has also witnessed the Tibetans in exile preserving their religion and culture in a foreign country, maintaining their national identity, and developing a democratic political system and society. He himself participated in many of these noble deeds envisioned by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and made significant contribution in following His guidance. The very active work of dissemination of Tibetan culture and religion by the Kirti Monastery under his leadership is a living example of his dedication. Ven. Geshe Lhakdor
