DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the story of Harry Ransom. If you know his name it's most likely as the inventor of the Ransom Process, a stroke of genius that changed the world. Or you may have read about how he lost the battle of Jasper City, or won it, depending on where you stand in matters of politics. Friends called him Hal or Harry, or by one of a half-dozen aliases, of which he had more than any honest man should. He often went by Professor Harry Ransom, and though he never had anything you might call a formal education, he definitely earned it. If you're reading this in the future, Ransom City must be a great and glittering metropolis by now, with a big bronze statue of Harry Ransom in a park somewhere. You might be standing on its sidewalk and not wonder in the least of how it grew to its current glory. Well, here is its story, full of adventure and intrigue. And it all starts with the day that old Harry Ransom crossed paths with Liv Alverhyusen and John Creedmoor, two fugitives running from the Line, amidst a war with no end. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA Father’s rare blood disease cannot be healed by evangelical faith in the early 1980’s. As he leaves for treatment on the AIDS wing of the National Institutes of Health, his young son Finn goes to live in the homes of strangers in the rural South. Carrying his red fireman’s bag as a metaphor for his Father’s disease, Finn listens to his emotions about who is Good and who is Evil—conflicted as to why a loving God will not provide a miracle of healing, or heat, or food, or the love of a Mother. Sent to live with an Elderly couple in their rustic cabin on Panther Mountain, Finn is shown and taught the ways of the Native Cherokee that lived in the meadow. In the lantern glow of deep conversations, he learns that love is a fountain whose only business is to flow. Finn witnessed the handwritten letters of Jon and Elizabeth and their promise to each other to be reincarnated as Doves. Finn returns to the Wheat Hill House in grief. Wishing his Stepmother would be content only to break his bones. He becomes a caretaker for his Father, who is desperate to buy a pardon from God. Finn returns to the mountain when his Father returns to the National Institutes of Health. Introduced to the Beloved Community, he learns how plants heal themselves. The history of the Cherokee, Skyuka, and the Elder Fire becomes real as he uncovers artifacts on the mountain. He realized that the universal language of every heart is truth and that all who love are born of God. Eternal life is not merited but measured in how much love we leave behind. Though, at times, Evil does kill the Chiefs of Peace, time has never stopped seeing them being born.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWe were getting ready to leave – we did not know if we would return. If the seaweed broods over its loosened roots, it can never glide on a current. So begins the bittersweet account of Kolumban, the man of the family, the player of the lute in his community of itinerant bards. The paanar live near forests, but do not know how to hunt. There are fields of millet behind their huts but they are unused to sowing or reaping. Tired of depending on song and dance to make a living, and the attendant poverty, the eldest son, Mayilan, runs away from home. Many years later his family sets out to find him. As they roam the land, they perform in village commons and palaces, to farmers and cowherds, and famous kings and even more famous poets. Set seventeen centuries ago, The Day the Earth Bloomed tells the intertwined stories of Kolumban, his daughter Chithira and son Mayilan, drawing on the celebrated poems of classical Tamil. The result is an electrifying and haunting connection to the past.
