Book Description
One of the most unanswered questions in the world today is why. Why did God create this universe and everything in it? Why did God create the angels and every soul? Why does God want each soul to join him in heaven? In A Message for the Soul of Man, author John D. Powers answers these and other questions relating to our souls, our creation, and our life's purpose. After receiving a message from God many years ago, Powers researched Bible scripture to validate this important communication. Now, Powers shares the full message he received and the implications it carries for the souls of mankind: God wants a personal relationship with us, and he wants every soul to be saved. Through thought-provoking discussion and testimony, A Message for the Soul of Man refreshes our knowledge about God, ourselves, and the world; it helps assess where we are in relation to the world and its development. Powers describes how we are called to examine ourselves, learn about our soul, and discover our purpose in life. We have the power and the choice to determine what will happen to our immortal soul after death. This title received a Finalist Award in the 2011 International Book Awards.

Book Description
The posthumously published first novel from the acclaimed French author of Life: A User’s Manual offers “glimpses of Perec’s future greatness” (The New Yorker). Puckish and playful, Georges Perec infused avant-garde and experimental fiction with a wit and wonder that belied the serious concerns and concepts that underpinned it. A prominent member of the OuLiPo, and an abiding influence on fiction writers today, Perec used formal constraints to dazzling effect in such works as A Void—a murder mystery that contains nary an “e”—and Life: A User’s Manual, in which an apartment building, systematically canvassed, unfolds secrets and, ultimately offers a reflection on creation, destruction, and the devotion to art. Before embarking on these experiments, however, Perec tried his hand at a relatively straightforward novel, Portrait of a Man. His first book, it was rejected by publishers when he submitted it in 1960, after which he filed it away. Decades after Perec’s death, David Bellos discovered the manuscript, and through his translation we have a chance to enjoy it in English for the first time. What fans will find here is a thriller that combines themes that would remain prominent in Perec’s later work, such as art forgery, authenticity, and murder, as well as craftsman Gaspard Winckler, who whose namesakes play major roles in Life: A User’s Manual and W, or The Memory of Childhood. Engaging and entertaining on its own merits, and gaining additional interest when set in the context of Perec’s career, Portrait of a Man is sure to charm the many fans of this postmodern master. “Fascinating.” —The Guardian

Book Description
Raktaar controls a sludge harvested from the fear of living creatures. He is incredibly strong, invisible to human eyes, and does not die from age. He also has four legs, decaying flesh, and is desperate for power. For centuries, his brother Nehemiah attempts but fails to kill him and end his cruel conquest for control.

Caught between them are brother and sister Boris and Tanya, who Raktaar nearly killed when they were younger. They want Raktaar dead, and Do You See Me Now? is the engaging and illustrative story of Raktaar’s hunger for supremacy fighting Boris, Tanya, and Nehemiah’s drive for peace.
