The messengers
Nick Bunick was confronted by angels. It will change your life forever… Prominent and successful Portland, Oregon, businessman Nick Bunick never considered himself a particularly religious person. But he knew in his heart that he had experienced something extraordinary in a past life. Anxious to share it, but convinced that his story would seem unbelievable to most people, he kept it to himself. Then, two years ago, angels intervened. Nick came to understand that angels were prevailing upon him to tell his story — a story that began 2,000 years ago when he lived as Paul the Apostle, and walked alongside Jesus. An inspiring chronicle of the angelic visitations that led Nick to finally share his memories, The Messengers also illuminates the events of his life as Paul. Rich with the wisdom and awe borne of Nick’s incredible encounter with Jesus, this magnificent book truly signals a return to the Age of Miracles.
Le tombeau de Saqqarah
Retrouver le ” rouleau de Thot “, un papyrus rédigé de la main même du dieu qui confère le pouvoir sur la mort et la résurrection : tel est le rêve du prince Kâemouaset, fils de Ramsès II, érudit, médecin et magicien. Inlassablement, il fouille la nécropole de Saqqarah, violant les sépultures et troublant le repos des momies. Mais on ne cherche pas impunément à se hisser au rang des dieux, et la vengeance de Thot sera terrible. Fresque historique et conte magique, cette quête démesurée plonge le lecteur dans la mystérieuse et fascinante Egypte des pharaons, où chacun, paysan du Nil, scribe ou roi, vit de plain-pied avec le sacré et le surnaturel.

Angela’s ashes, a memoir of a childhood
En Anglais – “When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I managed to survive at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood.” So begins the Pulitzer Prize winning memoir of Frank McCourt, born in Depression-era Brooklyn to recent Irish immigrants and raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland. Frank’s mother, Angela, has no money to feed the children since Frank’s father, Malachy, rarely works, and when he does he drinks his wages. Yet Malachy– exasperating, irresponsible and beguiling– does nurture in Frank an appetite for the one thing he can provide: a story. Frank lives for his father’s tales of Cuchulain, who saved Ireland, and of the Angel on the Seventh Step, who brings his mother babies ….
