What would you do if Life gave you a second chance with your one
true love? Ethan Parker found his true love at a young age, and
having made it through both high school and college together, he
was sure their love was indestructible. Ethan was ready to spend
the rest of his life with Leah Ashton, the only woman he would ever
love, until she confessed to being unfaithful and left him for her
Spring Fling, Charles. Shattered and broken, Ethan never fully
recovered. Drifting through the last ten years, a mere shadow of
his former self, he eventually returned home to Florida to be
closer to his sister, Elizabeth. Hoping to find a shred of
happiness, Ethan struggles to let go of his one regret-not fighting
for true love. Leah's life with Charles never made it to happily
ever after, and instead became her worst nightmare. After enduring
a decade of physical and emotional abuse, Leah had lost hope of
ever finding happiness. Thanks to her stubborn brother, Luke, a
visit home at Thanksgiving forced Leah to share her secret with her
family, finally ending the years of shame. Finally free to make her
own decisions, Leah is determined to be happy, even if she is
alone. A chance encounter at a car dealership reunites Leah with
Ethan, and suddenly life has hope again. Life has given Ethan and
Leah a Second Chance, but will they be brave enough to take the
chance? Can their love overcome the years of hurt to finally give
them their Happily Ever After?
Reuchlin’s keen interest in Jewish mysticism resulted in the
original publication of this work in 1517. The first part of this
dialogue reflects on messianism, the second part on the relation of
the Pythagorean system to the Kabbalah, and the third on the
"practical Kabbalah."Â The German humanist Johann Reuchlin
(1455-1522) defended the value of Jewish scholarship and literature
when it was unwise and unpopular to do so. As G. Lloyd Jones points
out, "A marked mistrust of the Jews had developed among Christian
scholars during the later Middle Ages. It was claimed that the
rabbis had purposely falsified the text of the Old Testament and
given erroneous explanations of passages which were capable of a
christological interpretation." Christian scholars most certainly
did not advocate learning the Hebrew language. Reuchlin was
exceptional in pursuing and promoting Hebrew studies, believing
that a working knowledge of that language was essential for a true
appreciation of the Bible and rabbinic literature. Refusing to join
Christian contemporaries who wished to destroy the Kabbalah and the
Talmud, he spoke out against ignorance. Christians could have a
useful dialogue with Jews if they gained a thorough knowledge of
the writings of Jewish exegetes and philosophers. Toward that end
he proposed university endowments that aroused the fury of
opponents and led to the famous "battle of the
books."Â Reuchlin's keen interest in Jewish mysticism resulted
in the publication of De arte cabalistica in 1517. The first part
of this dialogue reflects on messianism, the second part on the
relation of the Pythagorean system to the Kabbalah, and tdhe third
on the "practical Kabbalah." According to Jones, "Reuchlin
demonstrates how Christians can make profitable use of Jewish
mystical writings, and therefore shares with the reader his
understanding of the art of the Kabbalah." That art will reach more
readers in this modern English-language translation by Martin and
Sarah Goodman. It reinforces the historical importance of the man
who prevented the destruction of Jewish books and anticipated the
more liberal climate of the Reformation.
Dr. Kate Caldwell strives to be the best in everything she does.
Except her best wasn't good enough for her ex-husband, Keith. Keith
crashed her dream of a fairy tale life when she caught him cheating
on her. She is determined to focus on her new project and to giving
her twin daughters a normal, happy childhood. Kate has plans to
remodel the veterinary clinic her Granddaddy passed down to her. To
fulfill one of her dreams she hires an architect and design firm to
remodel the out dated practice and horse boarding stable. What Kate
doesn't realize is her Life's Next Chapter will be mere yards away,
remodeling her clinic. Luke Ashton is the general contractor for
his cousin's company, Ashton Architecture and Design . Luke has
been assigned to remodel Dr. Caldwell's clinic, and he doesn't
expect his latest project to include the woman who could knock his
world off it's axis and set it right again. He finds himself
working longer hours around her property, spending time to get to
know Kate better. Luke is handsome, with his striking green eyes,
rugged physique, and a body that would make any woman weak in the
knees. He certainly turns Kate's head. Kate and Luke feel the
chemistry and tension between them, but both are skeptical about
moving forward. Kate is terrified to let anyone into her life, let
alone her heart. Luke has a past that easily scares women away.
He's struggled since he was eighteen, when unexpected circumstances
turned him into a man. Luke is also a veteran with nightmares that
follow him all day-every day. Do Kate and Luke give into one
another's baggage and avoid each other, like their heads tell them,
or do they fight for the happily ever after they both want? When
'life' gives them more battles to fight, will they be strong enough
to fight for each other? "Luke, my life story is crazy and
complicated, why would you want to attempt this?" - Kate "Sunshine,
we can't erase our past, but we sure as hell can turn the page in
your story and create our own crazy happy life together." - Luke
Does Life's Next Chapter give Kate her fairy tale ever after, or
will it be the chapter she quickly skips through?
