Once Upon a Villa: Adventures on the French Riviera

 

Once Upon a Villa:

Adventures on the French Riviera

In this wise, warm-hearted, witty, and LOL hilariously funny true account, New York Times bestselling author Andrew Kaplan tells what it’s like when he, his wife, and two-year-old son decided to chuck it all and live the fantasy in a villa by the sea in that extraordinary corner of the world – part international café society, part billionaires’ playground, part provincial France – that is the French Riviera. 

Whether it’s matching wits with French bureaucracy, searching for the perfect bouillabaisse, encounters with con men, eccentric ex-pats, and Monaco’s royal family, partying with the international set on Onassis’ yacht, playing chess with a philosophical police chief, or adventures and friendships with the rich and famous and the presumably standoffish French, Once Upon a Villa will transport you to a fascinating and shrewdly-observed world that you will savor like your first-morning bite of pain au chocolate. 

So pour yourself a glass of wine, open the book, and Santé!

The Land of Hearts

Heartwarming Journey to Wholeness and Healing

"The Land of Hearts" by Antwinette Scott, is a true gem.

The story follows a cast of endearing characters, each representing a different aspect of the human experience.

The story centers around Wise-Heart, Sick-Heart, Broken-Heart, and their companions as they embark on a journey to meet the King-of-Hearts in the Great City. The author has ingeniously woven together a tale that feels both whimsical and deeply allegorical. These characters mirror our own experiences and emotions, making their journey all the more relatable.

As they traverse through Heartland, they encounter various hearts, each with their own struggles and desires. Brave-Heart, Faithful-Heart, and their companions show friendship and courage, standing up against the challenges that Naughty-Heart and his crew present. It's this battle of hearts that highlights the contrasting forces of negativity and positivity we often encounter in life.

The author's ability to infuse such profound themes into a heartwarming and accessible narrative is lovely. Not to mention, the artwork on every single page is absolutely gorgeous. The King-of-Hearts interacts with each heart, addressing their specific needs with love and understanding. These moments are a wonderful reminder to kids and adults alike that healing is possible, and that there is hope for transformation, no matter how broken or lost we may feel.

He never seemed to find his place, worrying that a complete change of character was necessary for acceptance. This vicious pattern of thought eventually led him to wander alone down a dark mental path with seemingly no way out.

He eventually switched his approach, from the ceaseless desperation of acceptance to embracing that very feeling of Alienation he has carried all along. It was from this point that he found fulfillment in his life. The only right thing to do was to spread his insights to readers around the world. Readers who may be currently wandering down that same dark path feeling like they have no place to fit in.

 This grumpy billionaire drives me crazy… in and out of the bedroom.

Being his executive assistant is no easy feat.

Max is my brother’s best friend and off-limit boss.

Because of his grumpy attitude, we often bump heads.

Despite him being twice my age,

This stern alpha male knows how to keep my heart racing,

With stolen glances and unspoken words.

The way he talks about his daughter,

Makes me want to know more about the man behind the mask.

So, I offered to be his nanny.

Which gave me the opportunity to be closer to him.

The warmth of his embrace, the intoxicating scent of his cologne,

Brings our bodies perfectly together.

In each kiss and stolen moments,

I find myself falling for him.

What if my feelings go unrequited?

What if it destroys everything we've built?

Society may judge us …

But if my brother finds out… he’ll freak out.

Christianity Easily Explained to Millennials and Gen Z

 

Christianity Easily Explained

to Millennials and Gen Z

There are two problems with Christianity today.

Problem one: Many church goers don't understand the big picture of Christianity. They learn a few individual puzzle pieces here and there, but they don't know what the big put together picture looks like.

Problem two: Most Christian resources were written in the Modernist framework. They do a good job of organizing and explaining the content, but do a poor job connecting what Christianity means to today's Postmodern generation. As a result, today's audience have a hard time connecting the dots on how Christianity provides meaning to their lives. Why am I here on earth? What is the meaning to life? Do I matter? What is the purpose to my life?

By dividing Christianity into five parts - Sabbath, Sin, Justice, Jesus, Ambassadorship - I explain the big picture of Christianity and connect it to the Postmodern value system in an easy to understand way.

"Tell me about the last one."
"The last one, what?"
"The last kill."

The hitman who would never speak finally opens up. Cole wants his version of events to be told to the world before he dies. He's gotten away with unspeakable violence for years, protected and sanctioned by the mafia. As his world crumbles around him he fights back, driven by one desire: vengeance.
