Jack Doyle is an enigma; an engaging larrikin who lives life on the edge and plays by his own rules. Haunted by grief and guilt; Jack seeks absolution in all the wrong places. An ex digger, he saw action in Afghanistan and came home with the sort of wounds that do not bleed. The army had taught him to kill but he feared that it was the darkness inside him that had made him a killer. The army takes young men and trains them to survive in the hostile environment of a war-zone Here they are asked, in the name of duty, to witness and participate in the unspeakable. But when they come home and struggle to slide back into the niche society has waiting for them; they feel condemned for their inability to conform. Hence they find themselves often confined to the fringes of society, forever outcasts in a land they swore to protect. Rachel Collins is strong, independent and passionate; a healer by nature as well as profession. Moving to the beautiful Tasmanian countryside to fulfill her ambitions as a rural vet, she did not count on having a neighbour like Jack Doyle. The more she learns about him the less she can reconcile his generous spirit with the personal demons that threaten his sanity. . Perhaps it is only her unconditional love that will provide the sanctuary he seeks and save him from his greatest enemy - himself?

The Broken Self: A New Approach to End the Struggle with Low Self-Esteem and Depression and Reclaim Your Life

Self-Help

Brouwer, Ingrid B

Self-Esteem

Cost of Truth

"Donna Gordon grew up devoted to the Catholic faith. In her teen years, with an unwavering love for her religion, Donna entered the Missionary Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception, Kedron, Brisbane, where she trained as a postulant and later as a novice nun. In 1969, after nearly three years, Donna changed her vocation from teaching to nursing, leaving Kedron to study at the Mater Misericordiae Hospital Townsville, with the aim of serving her church as a health professional. In 1971, she met and fell in love with her future husband, Michael, whom she married in April 1973, never again to return to her calling. With a strong religious upbringing and time spent training as a priest in a Brisbane seminary, Michael was also a devout Catholic. After a thirteen-year loving marriage, five beautiful children and relentless soul searching, Donna came to the heart-breaking realisation she was gay. With an unquestionable belief in honesty and truth she opened her heart to those closest to her. This meant she had little choice but to make the painful decision to leave her husband and children to work through what this now meant for her and her family. Slowly, Donna came to terms with her sexuality. But her mother never accepted her new life, her children never again lived with her, many friends judged her harshly, and her marriage was annulled by the Catholic Church. Donna’s journey is one of honesty, disclosure, strength, and the pain and fear she experienced on a daily basis as she fought for truth, acceptance, and her children in a deeply religious environment which supports family love but does not accept homosexuality. In September 2012, Donna Gordon was diagnosed with metastatic bone cancer. She is currently undergoing treatment and remains optimistically positive. As she fights yet another battle, Donna is today a strong, loving, confident woman who has welcomed her sexuality, made peace with her religion, has her children as her best friends, and is able to call the man she married a good friend. Donna and her loving partner Di will be retiring to Brisbane in 2014. This is Donna’s story."

Biographies & Memoirs

Patricia Evans was born in Myrtleford, Victoria, and now lives in Queensland, Australia. During her time in Victoria, she was publicity officer for Red Cross. She wrote numerous articles for the Red Cross magazine and many local newspapers. She also conducted a monthly radio broadcast on the local radio station and arranged many TV interviews for visiting dignitaries on the local TV station. She was presented with the Red Cross Service award for her work and dedication to Red Cross. During a holiday in Darwin Northern Territory, she was overwhelmed at the records of Second World War activity, which occurred there, and the ignorance of most Australians on such an important part of our history. She then spent several years studying the events in Darwin and the Top End of Australia during the bombing by the Japanese and all that followed.

Lehi and Sariah in Arabia: The Old World Setting of the Book of Mormon

History

Aston, Warren P.

Middle East

A 21st Century re-examination of the most-read book to emerge from the Western Hemisphere, the Book of Mormon. As Mormonism grows into a world faith, the veracity of its founding scripture has never been more important. The three decades of Arabian exploration reported in Lehi and Sariah in Arabia identifies specific locations for the 8 year journey described in the text, allowing Nephi's account to emerge with new clarity and enhanced plausibility.

Dying to be Alive

Dying to be Alive is the first hand account of an incredible experience. In 2008 the author suffered a heart attack and found himself in an ambulance, blacking out and in immediate danger of death. He describes the experience of being in the presence of angels, engaged in conversation with Jesus and then being offered the choice to return to life on earth or to continue living in heaven. The story does not stop there. He traces the intervention of God on his life as he recounts the journey through life that saw him threatened by a cult and suffering the death of his brain-injured daughter. This is a story of life and death that extends well beyond our routine earthly existence and offers an intriguing glimpse into the timeless realm of eternity. This book offers more than a story. It opens the way to an encounter with heaven that reaches from beyond this world deep into the heart and soul.
