Three Gold Star women, linked forever by unimaginable loss, share their inspiring, unlikely journey that began on the worst day of their lives. What happens when tragedy knocks on your front door? For us, it was a literal knock, with two men standing in crisply pressed uniforms. They had news. News that gutted us to the core -- the death of our loved ones, a brother and two husbands -- in combat zones. The thing about those moments is that it's almost inconceivable that they can happen to you. That is, until they do. This book is for anyone who has ever received a knock at the door. And if you live long enough and have the courage to love others, you will. Maybe it's a cancer diagnosis. Maybe it's the death of your best friend. The betrayal of a spouse. The loss of a child. The implosion of a professional career. Or any tragedy that takes the person we love the most away from us too soon. Life is not without its challenges. The key is how you respond.This is our story. The story of three women, bonded by grief and purpose. Grief because we lost our best friends in war. Purpose because we resolved -- together -- to do something about it. To turn loss into inspiration for others and to channel the love that we had for the men in our lives into love for others through service. It was the only way we could escape the trap of despair and inaction, and we believe it offers a roadmap for anyone else who has ever had to answer a knock at the door.
The stories in this collection occupy a world at once as familiar as a suburban backyard or a southern college's hallowed football field and as strange as a man who buys Savannah, Georgia, and tries to turn it into the perfect Southern city as part of his attempt to win back his estranged wife. The fictional territory of Carrying the Torch , is in short, Brock Clarke's, one in which the surreal and the hilarious share a neighborhood with the painfully real and the sweetly ironic. Here readers will encounter characters dislocated by work and love, by huge losses and life's small dramas, men and women who have migrated South in search of redemption--or at least in the hope of leaving the worst behind.In these tales about what people try to leave and find they can't, about the lies we tell the people we love and the myths we create to make life livable, Marly Swick cites an "exceptional originality" as well as an "amazing emotional resonance, a haunting quality." "Notable for their balance of sentiment and restraint, the music of their language, and the haunting human longing that coexists with the irony and the humor," as Lee Martin remarks, these remarkable stories carry forward a tradition reaching from Flannery O'Connor to John Cheever and Donald Barthelme--and arrive at a brilliance all their own.Brock Clarke is an assistant professor of English at the University of Cincinnati. He is the author of the novel The Ordinary White Boy and of What We Won't Do , a short story collection that won the 2002 Mary McCarthy Prize for Short Fiction.
How are we to understand petitionary prayer? This is a key question for any thoughtful believer who desires to take both the Bible and experience seriously. Some believe God answers any prayer as long as the one praying has enough faith and/or persistence. Others conclude from experience that prayer is really for our benefit and has no impact on God's actions. According to David Crump, both views are extreme and potentially harmful. While books that deal with prayer from a devotional or experiential perspective have their value, Knocking on Heaven's Door takes a different approach. Crump carefully studies every New Testament passage that has to do with petitionary prayer and draws conclusions that are both theological and pastoral to help us understand the great mystery of prayer.
KYLIEHe started our war-I intend to finish it.Buying a house in the suburbs was supposed to be low stress: my own little haven to decorate and landscape exactly how I want.

Was I ready to answer?HAGENI will win no matter what it takes.I moved to this neighborhood for a fresh start.

I didn't mean to start the war, but now she taunts me from across the street. Our harmless pranks have become the highlight of my day. I should stay away-but I can't. I want to spend more time with her. When a stalker begins sending Kylie a series of notes, I'm only too willing to help protect her. Maybe I'm looking for a relationship after all.*Standalone with a HEA.
Bobby and Susan's parents were going out to a fancy restaurant for their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary and probably wouldn't be back until midnight. Just before they left the house they told Bobby and Susan, "Under no circumstances are you to answer the door for anyone. Is that understood?" Bobby replied, "Sure thing Mom." Their parents closed the door and headed to their dinner date. Bobby said to Susan, "Mom sure does worry about our safety a lot, and besides we're not dead yet." "Let’s go watch a movie upstairs in the bonus room. I know the perfect movie to watch it's called I know what you did and I saw who you are," said Susan. Susan and Bobby went upstairs to the bonus room put the movie in the DVD player turned out the lights and sat on the couch together. Then all of a sudden there was a knock on the front door. "Bobby, did you hear that?" "Hear what?" replied Bobby. "I could have sworn I heard a knock at the door," exclaimed Susan. The knocking at the door got louder as loud as thunder. "Go check it out or are you scared," said Bobby laughingly. Susan got up from the couch and went downstairs to see who was at the door. After about ten minutes Bobby decided to call out his sisters’ names. "Susan, hurry up! You're missing the movie!" All Bobby heard was total silence. Bobby was getting a little worried that his sister didn't answer when he called out her name. Bobby slowly walked down the stairs calling out her name. Still getting no response, Bobby went out the back door of the house and ran to his next-door neighbor’s house to see if someone would come help him find his sister. Bobby knocked on the neighbor's front door and the owner answered and said "Bobby what are you doing out this late at night?" "I was wondering if you could come with me and help me find my sister?" asked Bobby nervously. The owner’s wife said to her husband, "Come here, George?" George and Bobby came over to the television set and she said "Isn't that your house Bobby?"
