Books with author Jacobs,

I have written this book with the unique perspective of standing in God's White Light, during an afterlife experience. With an open mind and a glimpse of what lies ahead for us, I now have a non-traditional explanation for parts of the Bible. Verses from the Bible are used as a backdrop to parts of this book. Inside, details are given on why it doesn't matter how you get to God. From my real life experiences, I now understand that Religion isn't about who is wrong and who is right. It is about finding our peace. Throughout the New Testament, Jesus teaches us how to find our peace. This peace is the gateway to God and His Light. This book is also designed to be a handbook or guide. This guide will help people understand why the Church and Religion will still be very important after disclosure of intelligent alien life happens. After a disclosure event of this kind, this book will explain and help people understand that it doesn't matter. The reason being, is that God and Jesus are still both very real.

Many of Jacobs' most popular short stories are included in this wide-ranging collection, including, most notably, the horror tale "The Monkey's Paw." Other stories run the gamut from life on a ship at sea to ghost stories and apparitions. Jacobs was a master of the form, and the stories collected in The Lady of the Barge represent his finest efforts.

This early work by William Wymark Jacobs was originally published in 1911 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Lady of the Barge' is a collection of short stories that contains many of his most popular tales. Jacobs worked as a clerk in the civil service before turning to writing in his late twenties, publishing his first short story in 1895. Most of Jacobs' work appeared before the onset of World War I, and although the majority of his output was humorous in tone, he is best-remembered now for his macabre tales, particularly those contained in his 1902 collection The Lady of the Barge, such as 'The Monkey's Paw' and 'The Toll House'.

Jacobs"The Monkey's Paw" is a supernatural short story by author W. W. In the story, three wishes are granted to the owner of the monkey's hand, but the wishes come with an enormous price for interfering with fate. Plot: The story involves Mr. and Mrs. White and their adult son, Herbert. Sergeant-Major Morris, a friend who served with the British Army in India, introduces them to a mummified monkey's paw. An old fakir placed a spell on the paw, that it would grant three wishes to three separate men. The wishes are granted but always with hellish consequences, as punishment for tampering with fate. Morris tells the Whites of his comrade, who used his third wish to wish for death. Morris, also having had a horrific experience upon using the paw, throws the monkey's paw into the fire but Mr. White retrieves it. Before leaving, Morris warns Mr. White that if he does use the paw, then be it on his own head.At Herbert's suggestion, Mr. White wishes for £200 to be used as the final payment on his house, even though he believes he has everything he wants. The next day his son Herbert leaves for work at a local factory. Later that day, word comes to the White home that Herbert has been killed in a terrible machinery accident. Although the employer denies responsibility for the incident, the firm makes a goodwill payment to family of the deceased. The payment is £200.
