DOWNLOAD EBOOKFiction. "If you take a real crime, the Jennifer Moore murder, add the imagination, insight and humanity of Stephanie Dickinson, you have LOVE HIGHWAY. It's as if Stephanie not only has access to diaries of real characters, but to their actual thought processes. Despite knowing the outcome, it's suspenseful and reads as if it's happening in real time. Halfway through I had to put the book down for a while it felt too real, too harrowing, although not at all gory. And after putting it down it still stuck to me. Her fictionalization, based on the actual, realizes its emotional truth. Be forewarned, you can't swallow this book, it's too powerful. Like all truly great art, you've got to let it swallow you." Ted Jonathan "In order to know love, we must know its absence. This duality sets the stage of Stephanie Dickinson's potent new novel, LOVE HIGHWAY. Nylah is smart but naive, capable but insecure. She is drunk. She is being followed. Trinity is downtrodden but hopeful, distracted but street-smart. She is trapped. She is caught in the middle. These two women, love-injured and longing, are fading into the same gritty gray scenery. Their cravings are drawn with precise, cutting lines that pierce the vibrancy of love itself bold, scenic and memorable. LOVE HIGHWAY is about those who feed on others' hunger and the value of looking within, no matter how painful." Jen Knox "LOVE HIGHWAY by Stephanie Dickinson is a sensual and treacherous novel about desire and memory. Set in New York City and its outskirts, she gives us the shiny girls who will risk everything to be part of what they've been brainwashed into believing is bright and essential. Dickinson has a dense, lyrical prose style that infiltrates the senses like a walk through a hot-house full of lilies. In turns both exciting and shattering, this story unfolds silken with the worms still working the cloth." Susan Tepper"

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMany sincere, Bible-believing Christians are Calvinists only by default. Thinking that the only choice is between Calvinism (with its presumed doctrine of eternal security) and Arminianism (with its teaching that salvation can be lost), and confident of Christ's promise to keep eternally those who believe in Him, they therefore consider themselves to be Calvinists. It takes only a few simple questions to discover that most Christians are largely unaware of what John Calvin and his early followers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries actually believed and practiced. Nor do they fully understand what most of today's leading Calvinists believe. Although there are disputed variations of the Calvinist doctrine, among its chief proponents (whom we quote extensively in context) there is general agreement on certain core beliefs. Many evangelicals who think they are Calvinists will be surprised to learn of Calvin's belief in salvation through infant baptism and of his grossly un-Christian behavior, at times, as the "Protestant Pope" of Geneva, Switzerland. Most shocking of all, however, is Calvinism's misrepresentation of God, who "is love." It is our prayer that this volume will enable readers to examine more carefully the vital issues involved and to follow God's holy Word--not man's teachings. "The first edition of this book was greeted by fervent opposition and criticism from Calvinists. In this enlarged and revised edition I have endeavored to respond to the critics." --Dave Hunt
