On a Dusty Road is Subhas’ second novel. Imagination Drift: A Prince for Three Days, his first novel, was a satire on human perceptions and behaviour. On a Dusty Road is a documentary-novel that constructs the life and death of a promising young man. The fictionalized story is told through the recollections of those who knew Ravi and is revealed through short, impressionistic episodes and his close friendship with Sunny and the Dusty Road Boys. Part I follows the childhood escapades of the two friends. Sunny’s 'joie de vivre' and Ravi’s staid character are drawn into imagination and entrepreneurship when Ravi is given a bicycle. The joy of the pedal-power is short-lived and the boys, mainly through Sunny’s ambitions and Ravi’s desire, engage in raising money to fix the bike. Part II exposes Ravi’s sheltered life on the Dusty Road when he meets Daniel who is killed in an accident and learns of Sunny’s death as a 'murder for science'. In Part III the community coalesces to nurture Ravi's abilities with the expectation that he would bring recognition and change to the people on a Dusty Road, but life has it's own destination.
The desire to succeed and live an impactful life is embedded in every human being. We all yearn to walk the journey of life in a way that has meaning and impact. Within us lies an unquenchable thirst to answer some of life's crucial questions with regards to our reason for existence. Many of us seek, daily, to find the secret to success and satisfaction in this life. As much as we have heard teachings, sermons and even read books that try to tackle this issue, there is still that missing gap in many individuals that calls for a simple and easy to follow process on how one can live a satisfying, purpose-driven, unique and impactful life! The IPEBSAL model expounds on this process using simple principles that bring a new, integrated and practical approach in answering how one can live an extraordinary life of fulfilment with a lasting legacy. These principles are drawn from Dr Douglas Mboweni's life story, and have seen him to where he is today, by the Grace of God. They are also bringing about tremendous improvement and results in the lives of many other individuals in his circle of influence, particularly his family. These principles apply to anyone, regardless of culture, background, gender, age, stature or ethnicity. The IPEBSAL principles are indeed a set of simple keys that work together to open one big door called destiny!
William Ardill is a general surgeon who served as a medical missionary in Liberia from 1986-1990 during the beginning of the Liberian civil war and in Nigeria from 1992-2012. Journey On A Dusty Road is Ardill's memoir of the last 20 years of his medical missionary experiences in Nigeria. He chronicles the joys and hardships his family faced, the unraveling of the political situation largely due to religious and tribal conflict, and punctuates the narrative with interesting vignettes of patients treated at Evangel Hospital. He also shares the circumstances of the birth of the many different ministries they initiated to the street children, women with childbirth related injuries, women in crisis pregnancies, and families suffering with HIV/AIDS. He honestly discloses his personal and family struggles, the amazing deliverance of God in several life-threatening crises, and the worldwide support for their family over their twenty years serving with SIM in Nigeria. Written for those interested in medical missionary work, this very personal account is an exhaustive narrative of the spectrum of situations, good and bad, modern missionaries face. Journey On A Dusty Road is a testimony to God's grace and mercy and the support of hundreds worldwide who sustained them through their prayers, kindness, and gifts

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of The River and The Dog Stars comes another "gorgeously wrought story—equal parts character study and mystery—a young woman asks Celine, a badass Brooklyn private eye, to investigate the death of her father, a nature photographer" (Entertainment Weekly). Celine is not your typical private eye. With prep school pedigree and a pair of opera glasses for stakeouts, her methods are unconventional but extremely successful. Working out of her jewel box of an apartment nestled under the Brooklyn Bridge, Celine has made a career out of tracking down missing persons nobody else can find. But when a young woman named Gabriela employs her expertise, what was meant to be Celine's last case becomes a scavenger hunt through her own memories, the secrets there and the surprising redemptions. Gabriela's father was a National Geographic photographer who went missing in Wyoming twenty years ago and while he was assumed to have been mauled by a grizzly his body was never found. Celine and her partner set out to Yellowstone National Park to follow a trail gone cold but soon realize that somebody desperately wants to keep this case closed. Combining ingenious plotting with crystalline prose and sweeping natural panoramas, Peter Heller gives us his finest work to date. Look for Peter Heller's new novel, The Last Ranger, coming soon!

Dusty Roads is a poetic walk in the journey that is my life. It is taken from various seasons and experiences. I believe it is God’s will that this work be published. At this time and in this season the message of God’s grace should be preached through all genres. It is my belief that my fellows, as well as those who walk outside the safety of salvation, will be bettered by the openness of this work; the testimony and honest revelation will be a witness to the lost and edification to kingdom travelers. It is my belief that this work is one of “few things,” for which Christ will reward as a faithful act, and the knowledge that I may be of service to him in the furtherance of the kingdom compels and, yes, propels me onward down this “dusty road.”
