When Rufus Henry gets out of work camp for Grand Theft Auto, he has only one place to go? back to Durango Street. Almost right away, he gets on the wrong side of the Gassers, has to join the rival Moors? and starts running for his life. Years ahead of its time, Durango Street, like The Outsiders, shows that gang violence is, sadly, nothing new? and nothing glamorous."A starkly realistic, convincing, well-written teen novel." ?

It was a chilling experience, that first glimpse of New Zealand! Hour after hour the great ship held on her way up the Cook Straits amidst scenery that made me shudder and that scowled me out of countenance. Rugged, massive, inhospitable, and bare, how sternly those wild and mountainous landscapes contrasted with the quiet beauty that I had surveyed from the same decks as the ship had dropped down Channel! I shaded my eyes with my hands and swept the strange horizon at every point, but nowhere could I see a sign of habitation—no man; no beast; no sheltering roof; no winding road; no welcoming column of smoke! And when, in the twilight of that still autumn evening, I at length descended the gangway, and set foot for the first time on the land of my adoption, I found myself—twelve thousand miles from home—in a country in which not a soul knew me, and in which I knew no single soul. It was not an exhilarating sensation.

A collection of essays by F. W. Boreham.Boreham wrote at least 50 full-length books and has been called the greatest essayist in the English language. His work has been hailed in recent days by Billy and Ruth Graham, Ravi Zacharias, and Warren Wiersbe as one of the most under-appreciated authors of the 20th century. While almost all of his works are rare and out of print, some selling for hundreds of dollars, we are working to make more of them available through the Kindle store for modern readers."Of the books that have played the greatest role in molding me, I count many volumes by especially one writer: F. W. Boreham. He authored more than fifty books of essays and pastored congregations in New Zealand, Tasmania, and Australia. He was not the classical preacher, not even a profound, deep preacher, but he was marvelous at seeing beauty in the simple things of life. He heeded John Wesley's charge to young preachers to blend simplicity with sublimity, 'the strongest sense in the plainest language."—Ravi Zacharias

Excerpt from The Other Side of the Hill: And Home AgainFor over twenty years I lived among the mountains. Their rugged summits saluted me every morning. Mountains are usually employed in literature as emblems of immutability. My own experience is quite otherwise. To me they were positively kaleidoscopic. I never saw a mountain look just the same two days running; whilst the fantastic changes that overtook them as I viewed them from different points of the compass were a perennial source of wonder and admiration. It was always worth while seeing the peak from the other side, even if that side were windswept, bleak, and bare. We might prefer the shelter of our own side; but, when we returned, the view of the mountain from the dining-room window was always more satisfying because of our ability to supplement the scene from our newly acquired knowledge of the land beyond the ranges.In this book I have tried to see The Other Side of the Hill - and the other side of other things.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Home of the EchoesRangitua, the tawny young son of Tutanekai the brave, and of Hinemoa the fair - both of them renowned in Maori story-stood on a projecting shelf of rock, overlooking one of those wild and desolate ravines that characterize the romantic ranges of Waikato. Hurrying in front of his father, the supple-sinewed stripling had scrambled to the dizzy eminence that he now so proudly oc cupied, and called back to Tutanekai, who was still engaged on the difficult and painful ascent. To the lad's astonishment, his voice came back to him from a dozen difierent directions. A moment later father and son were perched together on the over hanging rock, surveying the panorama of rugged grandeur spread out before them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Relatively unknown today, Frank W. Boreham (1871-1959) was once “the man whose name is on all our lips, whose books are on our shelves and whose illustrations are in all our sermons.” His works were bestsellers in his own day, and crowds flocked to hear him wherever he preached. Pastor, writer, and husband and father, F. W. Boreham authored numerous works including A Bunch of Everlastings, The Luggage of Life, Mushrooms on the Moor, A Handful of Stars, etc. With the republication of his out-of-print works, a new generation can now enjoy the exquisite beauties and untold wonders of his profound thought, colorful imagination, and his fervent devotion to Jesus Christ, the Lord of all. First published in 1923, Rubble and Roseleaves is a collection of essays which provide an inspiring and thoughtful read for Christians of all ages and walks of life.“F. W. Boreham is my favorite author. . . . I try to read a chapter of Boreham every day.”—Ravi Zacharias“[Boreham] is my favorite author.
