It's All in the Blood: The Cleansing, Overcoming, Life-Giving Blood of Jesus
Pastor Leonard Gardner

BookSurge Publishing, 2008

Blood. What comes to mind when you hear that word? Pain, injury, or even death? The Bible?s perspective on blood is quite the opposite. Leviticus 17:11 declares that ?the life is in the blood.? Scripture equates blood with life! The topic of blood, and specifically the blood of Jesus Christ, isn?t frequently addressed nor well understood. There is forgiveness, redemption, peace, cleansing, overcoming power, and so much more, in the blood ...

The Tea Ceremony: The Uncollected Writings of Gina Berriault

1 review
Gina Berriault

Shoemaker & Hoard, 2003

Last collection of a truly great writer
Not the place to start if your new to Berriault (if you're new, try "Women In Their Beds" or "Afterwards"). Berriault is one of the finest American writers of the last 50 years, despite the fact that her work is not well known. Perhaps no one writes better about the inner lives of women. And her sentences are always superb--lyrically honed, filled with insight. This collection is what you get ...

Leonard Gardner

University of California Press, 1996

A minor masterpiece
Short novel, published in 1969, about two boxers, Billy Tully, who is 29 and down and out, and Ernie Mugger, who is 18 and up and coming, two versions of the same man, in some respects. Terrific skilled prose, short chapters, switching points of view between these two main characters and an assortment of other minor characters. The author takes you inside the characters' deepest despair or ...

Like the Eagle
Pastor Leonard Gardner

BookSurge Publishing, 2008

The eagle is among the most noble, majestic, fierce, and amazing creatures on earth. It can fly at dizzying altitudes, dive at breathtaking speeds, stare directly into the sun, spot prey from two miles away, and soar on hurricane force winds. Its mastery of the wind, beauty in flight, and strength in battle all leave us speechless. We admire the eagle, but did you know that God wants us to be like the eagle? In this book, based on a series ...
