They told him he was born sick.... "Luka wonders if Harlan will taste as sinful as he looks. It suddenly dawns on him that Harlan is his forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. He understands Eve's perspective now because if that apple looked as good as Harlan, then it's no wonder she took a bite." Luka Thomas is a God-fearing Christian. When his family moves to the Bible Belt right before his senior year of high school, he knows he'll blend right in. Sort of. Being gay is a sin, so he's not gay. He's just...experimenting. Then he meets Harlan Sharp and begins to question everything he knew to be true. Harlan stopped believing in fairytales when the darkest days of his past left him scarred, angry, and questioning God's motives. He doesn't trust anyone, let alone Luka, who reminds Harlan of the very same person who hurt him. When blatantly ignoring all of Luka's attempts at conversation doesn't deter him, Harlan begins criticizing the one thing that Luka seems to believe wholeheartedly: his faith in God. With Luka's incredibly strict step-father pressuring him to date a girl, he desperately makes a deal, but at what cost to his budding relationship with Harlan? The Take me to Church Series is a dark, slow-burn, contemporary romance and may be disturbing to some readers so discretion is advised. For a more comprehensive list of trauma reminders present in the series, please see the inside of the book on the page labeled *content warning*. It is available in the pre-view. Spoilers may be present.

When two soon-to-be doctors find themselves as roommates in medical school, they have no idea how much they have in common. As light begins to lift the shadows of the past, thoughts for the future begin to take shape. Being a doctor has been a dream for both men, but both have also struggled with their own personal nightmares. Years of counselling and searching for some kind of trauma to explain their individual desires has left them with no conclusions except for the obvious. They weren't made into monsters by society. They weren't tortured adolescents who were pushed into darkness. They were just born that way. They were born sick. Follow two timelines on a twisted road trip of experiments, kidnapping, and much more. No need to worry, these men are professionals.

Reese’s Book Club x Hello Sunshine’s April 2018 book pick A shirt-grabbing, page-turning love story that follows a one-of-a-kind family through twists of fate that require nearly unimaginable choices. Happiness begins with a charming courtship between hopelessly attracted opposites: Heather, a world-roaming California girl, and Brian, an intellectual, homebody writer, kind and slyly funny, but loath to leave his Upper West Side studio. Their magical interlude ends, full stop, when Heather becomes pregnant—Brian is sure he loves her, only he doesn't want kids. Heather returns to California to deliver their daughter alone, buoyed by family and friends. Mere hours after Gracie's arrival, Heather's bliss is interrupted when a nurse wakes her, "Get dressed, your baby is in trouble." This is not how Heather had imagined new motherhood – alone, heartsick, an unexpectedly solo caretaker of a baby who smelled "like sliced apples and salted pretzels" but might be perilously ill. Brian reappears as Gracie's condition grows dire; together Heather and Brian have to decide what they are willing to risk to ensure their girl sees adulthood. The grace and humor that ripple through Harpham's writing transform the dross of heartbreak and parental fears into a clear-eyed, warm-hearted view of the world. Profoundly moving and subtly written, Happiness radiates in many directions--new, romantic love; gratitude for a beautiful, inscrutable world; deep, abiding friendship; the passion a parent has for a child; and the many unlikely ways to build a family. Ultimately it's a story about love and happiness, in their many crooked configurations.

With his stunning debut novel, She's Come Undone, Wally Lamb won the adulation of critics and readers with his mesmerizing tale of one woman's painful yet triumphant journey of self-discovery. Now, this brilliantly talented writer returns with I Know This Much Is True, a heartbreaking and poignant multigenerational saga of the reproductive bonds of destruction and the powerful force of forgiveness. A masterpiece that breathtakingly tells a story of alienation and connection, power and abuse, devastation and renewal--this novel is a contemporary retelling of an ancient Hindu myth. A proud king must confront his demons to achieve salvation. Change yourself, the myth instructs, and you will inhabit a renovated world. When you're the same brother of a schizophrenic identical twin, the tricky thing about saving yourself is the blood it leaves on your bands--the little inconvenience of the look-alike corpse at your feet. And if you're into both survival of the fittest and being your brother's keeper--if you've promised your dying mother--then say so long to sleep and hello to the middle of the night. Grab a book or a beer. Get used to Letterman's gap-toothed smile of the absurd, or the view of the bedroom ceiling, or the influence of random selection. Take it from a godless insomniac. Take it from the uncrazy twin--the guy who beat the biochemical rap. Dominick Birdsey's entire life has been compromised and constricted by anger and fear, by the paranoid schizophrenic twin brother he both deeply loves and resents, and by the past they shared with their adoptive father, Ray, a spit-and-polish ex-Navy man (the five-foot-six-inch sleeping giant who snoozed upstairs weekdays in the spare room and built submarines at night), and their long-suffering mother, Concettina, a timid woman with a harelip that made her shy and self-conscious: She holds a loose fist to her face to cover her defective mouth--her perpetual apology to the world for a birth defect over which she'd had no control. Born in the waning moments of 1949 and the opening minutes of 1950, the twins are physical mirror images who grow into separate yet connected entities: the seemingly strong and protective yet fearful Dominick, his mother's watchful "monkey"; and the seemingly weak and sweet yet noble Thomas, his mother's gentle "bunny." From childhood, Dominick fights for both separation and wholeness--and ultimately self-protection--in a house of fear dominated by Ray, a bully who abuses his power over these stepsons whose biological father is a mystery. I was still afraid of his anger but saw how he punished weakness--pounced on it. Out of self-preservation I hid my fear, Dominick confesses. As for Thomas, he just never knew how to play defense. He just didn't get it. But Dominick's talent for survival comes at an enormous cost, including the breakup of his marriage to the warm, beautiful Dessa, whom he still loves. And it will be put to the ultimate test when Thomas, a Bible-spouting zealot, commits an unthinkable act that threatens the tenuous balance of both his and Dominick's lives. To save himself, Dominick must confront not only the pain of his past but the dark secrets he has locked deep within himself, and the sins of his ancestors--a quest that will lead him beyond the confines of his blue-collar New England town to the volcanic foothills of Sicily 's Mount Etna, where his ambitious and vengefully proud grandfather and a namesake Domenico Tempesta, the sostegno del famiglia, was born. Each of the stories Ma told us about Papa reinforced the message that he was the boss, that he ruled the roost, that what he said went. Searching for answers, Dominick turns to the whispers of the dead, to the pages of his grandfather's handwritten memoir, The History of Domenico Onofrio Tempesta, a Great Man from Humble Beginnings. Rendered with touches of magic realism, Domenico's fablelike tale--in which monkeys enchant and religious statues weep--becomes the old man's confession--an unwitting legacy of contrition that reveals the truth's of Domenico's life, Dominick learns that power, wrongly used, defeats the oppressor as well as the oppressed, and now, picking through the humble shards of his deconstructed life, he will search for the courage and love to forgive, to expiate his and his ancestors' transgressions, and finally to rebuild himself beyond the haunted shadow of his twin. Set against the vivid panoply of twentieth-century America and filled with richly drawn, memorable characters, this deeply moving and thoroughly satisfying novel brings to light humanity's deepest needs and fears, our aloneness, our desire for love and acceptance, our struggle to survive at all costs. Joyous, mystical, and exquisitely written, I Know This Much Is True is an extraordinary reading experience that will leave no reader untouched.

Those in Zion shall never say '' I am sick.'' Isaiah 33:24 It is God's will that you live a life free from sickness. God wants you well. He desires that you live free from any infirmity or devil of darkness. Your success is dependent upon living a life free from sickness. If you have money and do not have a life free from sickness, then your life is a total failure because at anytime you may go to the journey of no return. What separates Christianity from religion is that we Christians do not get sick, eventhough many do get sick out of ignorance. Religious people do get sick, but Christians do not get sick. When you got born again you became an heir. In that inheritance is Divine Health and Prosperity. It is up to every Christian to appropriate this inheritance. In Eph 1:11 the great Apostle Paul says, we have obtained an inheritance. Christ Jesus did not die intestate, but he left a will in His estate. Faith is an appropriation of that estate. Most of the time, you find yourself trying to get enough faith trying to get God to do something for you, why? Because you do not know that all things you are asking God for, He has already given them to you. You are acting like a disinherited child who has been left out of a father's will. You look around and see you are sick, you look around and see you are broke, everyone around you gets sick because there is an outbreak, you are in a hospital bed lying down there hopeless! What is wrong? Can't God see that you are sick? Why can't God just heal you? You have prayed, you have cried, you have begged, you do not know what to do anymore! Hear this, the most dangerous thing about God is that, if you do not have knowledge about something that concerns any area of your life, God will not condescend to your level and think and operate at your level! He will not think like you! If you are a constantly sick person God will not descend to your level of thinking and think like you and think of healing you in your sickness, no! He will not do that. If you choose to be a disinherited child He will not act like a disinherited parent to you. He is Himself waiting for you to appropriate that which He has done in Jesus Christ which is eternal life. Eternal life has no sickness in it. Its a buffet, you choose whether you want to be sick or not. The very first thing you ought to do is to renew your mind, be cultured in the word Rom12:2 And be not confirmed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God. Renew your mind by culturing yourself in the Word. The word of God is a mirror in your life. When the word says i am free from sickness, i look at it and know i am free from sickness and disease. The Prophet Isaiah when he searched and saw it in the Spirit he saw us in his time, he saw us in Zion, and said, those in Zion shall never say ' I am sick!' Isaiah33:24. How can this great prophet of God who saw the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ many years before He was born, have the audacity to tell us that we shall never say we are sick! Its either he is lying to us or that he is telling us the real truth. When you got born again, you were born into the City of God, Zion. In this City called Zion, sickness has no place in it, unless out of your ignorance you allow it to invade your territory. Like St John wrote to you in his Epistles saying, little children I write this things unto you THAT YOU MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, MEANING TO BE AWARE THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, so write I to you these things, that you may know that you have eternal life free from sickness and disease and know how to defeat sickness when it attacks you

If you are tired and exhausted of being sick, this book is for you. I was born sick. I never thought I would enjoy a period of feeling great or being free from sickness. I was sick a long time. The good news is it doesn't matter what ails you or the name of the disease, God has not changed His mind about you walking in divine health. If God didn't want you healed, then He would not have sent His Son to die on the cross for your sins, sicknesses, and diseases. There are healing miracles with your name on it. Your sickness or disease hasn't taken God by surprise. You can be healed. It doesn't matter what the disease or sickness is, whether it has a name or not, healing is yours. It's time to be healed and start walking in divine health.

Marli F. Wiener skillfully integrates the history of medicine with social and intellectual history in this study of how race and sex complicated medical treatment in the antebellum South. Sex, Sickness, and Slavery argues that Southern physicians' scientific training and practice uniquely entitled them to formulate medical justification for the imbalanced racial hierarchies of the period. Challenged with both helping to preserve the slave system (by acknowledging and preserving clear distinctions of race and sex) and enhancing their own authority (with correct medical diagnoses and effective treatment), doctors sought to understand bodies that did not necessarily fit into neat dichotomies or agree with suggested treatments. Focusing on Southern states from Virginia to Alabama, Weiner examines medical and lay perspectives on the body through a range of sources, including medical journals, notes, diaries, daybooks, and letters. These personal and revealing sources show how physicians, medical students, and patients--both free whites and slaves--felt about vulnerability to disease and mental illnesses, how bodily differences between races and sexes were explained, and how emotions, common sense, working conditions, and climate were understood to have an effect on the body. Physicians' authority did not go uncontested, however. Weiner also describes the ways in which laypeople, both black and white, resisted medical authority, clearly refusing to cede explanatory power to doctors without measuring medical views against their own bodily experiences or personal beliefs. Expertly drawing the dynamic tensions during this period in which Southern culture and the demands of slavery often trumped science, Weiner explores how doctors struggled with contradictions as medicine became a key arena for debate over the meanings of male and female, sick and well, black and white, North and South.
