Books with author Robert A Murray

A crazy stalker is turning forty year old Stella's beach vacation in the Hamptons into a nightmare. But a handsome older actor she meets walking her dogs says he can help protect her...This is a slice of life short novel (62 pages) filled with strong emotions, suspense, and romance set in a legendary seaside resort town in Long Island.(Please note: This is not a steamy romance. Much like a PG movie the focus is on emotions & feelings in this story & the romantic scenes although they are sensual only include kissing.)

With drop dead gorgeous Jasmine from Laguna Beach you never know what will happen next and every date is truly an adventure. Colin finds himself madly in love with Jasmine, believes he has met "the one" and experiences agony and ecstasy. An absorbing teen romance that is a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. What readers are saying:"Colin falls for the incredibly beautiful, but flawed Jasmine, and can hardly believe his luck when his feelings are reciprocated. As in life though, things don't necessarily go smoothly, but throughout the tale my attention was held and I was bound in, by the well drawn characters I cared for deeply...I was with Colin every step of his journey, feeling all of the highs and lows with him. It is a story told from the male perspective, but I suspect this romantic drama will appeal to both sexes. College life is described so well, so that the reader gets an authentic feel for student life." "I love the author's natural, conversational writing style. The story is very well written and the pace is excellent, it held my rapt attention right to the very end. I like the way the story made me feel as if I were actually an observer, watching events unfold as they happened, rather than merely reading about them after the fact. The story-line and characters are so utterly realistic and believable that I kept forgetting this book is a work of fiction." "From the first page, I was drawn into Colin Preston's world and completely immersed in it. I needed to know what happened to Colin and his friends. They are real people instead of characters in a book. I have known them. The story takes place in a college setting, but the conflict is ageless. Most of us have been in this situation or a similar one. We are fascinated by love and its power to fill us with ecstasy or to make us miserable. I enjoy movies because I am in the scene, seeing the actors and listening to their words all at once. Somehow, Bert Murray is able to convey the same feeling. With perfect clarity, the best choice of words, and a little pixie dust, he created a world so real to me that I was surprised when I realized I'd just been reading my Kindle in my favorite chair. I highly recommend this book to everyone, especially if you're older and sometimes wish to be young again."

Robert Murray M'Cheyne was a minister of the gospel, a poet, and a man of letters. He was also a man of deep piety devoted to prayer. The life of Robert Murray M’Cheyne was short as was his ministry: six years and four months! He was only 30 when he died. Although his life and work was short, his influence has been long. In 1839, he was selected, along with his friend, Andrew Bonar, to be a member of the committee sent to Palestine by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland to collect information respecting the Jews. These are the letters he wrote during this trip. Even if one is not interested in the spirituality of this great man of God, one will be entertained by these letters, which read like an interesting travel magazine. A brief biography of M'Cheyne is added as an Appendix.
