Books with author Charles Turner

This work is the first-hand account of the oppression and persecution of the millions subjected to the unprecedented dictatorships of Hitler and Stalin. Ranging from the personal humiliation and political ostracism of his family for being peasant farmers, to the grand scale of dehumanizing institutions and methods of both Communism and Nazism, Charles Turkís My Fatherís Words places human faces on the millions of silent victims of 70 years of totalitarian rule in Eastern Europe. However, this story does not end there. Unable to speak or read English, Turk escaped to Austria in 1956 and immigrated to the U.S. as a refugee from the Hungarian Uprising. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean was the easiest length of his personal journey, bolstered only by his faith in God and the wise words of his strict and humble father.

Inspiration at Riverdale Terrace – Alicia’s life is about to change. Will she be ready to listen, open her heart, and embraced a chance to give her life a meaningful purpose where her talents will shine?Sometimes it’s hard to see where God is at work. For instance, if you were to walk past a rundown apartment complex on a corner in New York City, you might notice the homeless girl shivering on the stoop. You might hear the cries of a baby upstairs or loud music from the second floor. There’s nothing in the cracked windows, dusty bricks, or peeling paint at Riverdale Terrace to show that God is indeed hard at work within these walls. Alicia lost her faith the day her mother died, eight years ago. Now 24, she lives with her twin brother and her drunken father in Riverdale Terrace, where the cockroaches skitter, and you can smell despair in the hallway, like cigarettes and beer. Fending for herself all this time, Alicia thinks she knows all about life. Keep your head down, and get through the day. That’s all there is to it. Josh doesn’t see it that way. He’s fresh out of college, working to help a new minister start a youth outreach program at the neighborhood church. He has optimism, energy, and faith. And when he sees Alicia, he wants to share his message – and his life – with her. With God’s help, can Josh show this tough and introverted girl a better way to live? Can he convince her to use her talent to enrich her own life, and the lives of others?Download FREE with Kindle Unlimited!Read on your favorite devices such as Kindle, IPhone, IPad, Android cellular phone, tablet, laptop, or computer with Amazon's free reading Kindle App.Scroll back up and click the BUY NOW button at the top right side of this page for an immediate download!

However, that never happened.Being the superintendent of a building means a couple of things. First, it means nobody likes you.
