Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Burden and the BlessingA Novel of Grace, Redemption, and the Long Road Homeby Michael R. ValeMicah Rowen has spent a lifetime trying to outrun his failures. A broken man of faith, an absent father, and a preacher who no longer believes his own sermons, he wakes each day haunted by the ghosts of what he's lost - and the grace he's never quite managed to hold onto.When a chance encounter brings a young drifter named Eli into his life, Micah's world begins to shift. What starts as an act of charity becomes something deeper - a mirror held up to the man he once was, and a reminder of the God he's been avoiding for years. As Micah rebuilds his faith piece by fragile piece, his daughter Kayla struggles to forgive the father who left her waiting on too many porches.Through hardship, relapse, and quiet revelation, their stories weave together into one truth: that mercy is not for the perfect, but for those willing to begin again.Set against the humble beauty of a rural valley and the steady hum of faith rediscovered, The Burden and the Blessing is a deeply human story about loss, love, and the long road home.Fans of Charles Martin, William Kent Krueger, and Nicholas Sparks will find in Michael R. Vale's prose a rare combination of honesty, heart, and hope - a reminder that grace never lets go, even when we do. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Where the Fire SettlesBook One of The Calder Bend Cycleby Michael R. ValeSome fires never die-they just learn how to live quiet beneath the dust.Six years after the blaze that destroyed Calder Bend, Levi Cutter swore he'd never set foot in that town again. But when a letter arrives from Cora Vale-the woman he loved and lost-Levi saddles up and rides back into the place he buried his past.What he finds is more than ruins. The ground hums underfoot, the air tastes of smoke, and the people speak in half-truths. Moss Cutter, the brother Levi left behind, has become a legend whispered around campfires-a man tied to the fire that changed them all. Now the land itself seems to remember what happened, and it's done keeping quiet.As secrets surface and the old ridge begins to breathe again, Levi, Cora, and a boy with eyes too familiar must reckon with the debts left unpaid-because some truths don't stay buried, and the earth keeps its own ledger.A story of love, guilt, and the long memory of the American West, Where the Fire Settles blends the stark beauty of a classic frontier tale with the haunting intimacy of literary fiction.For readers who found poetry in Kent Haruf, mystery in Craig Johnson, and redemption in Cormac McCarthy, this is where the flame still burns.When the fire settles, what's left behind isn't ruin-it's remembrance.

Hardback. Condition: New. A multidisciplinary analysis of how state capture unfolded in South Africa and was contested within both civil society and the state itself. It presents a scholarly and empirical understanding of how things went awry, even with various regulating bodies in place, and how to prevent state capture from happening again in the future. The metaphor of 'state capture' has dominated South Africa's political discourse in the post-Zuma presidency era. What is state capture and how does it manifest? Is it just another example of a newly independent, failed African state? And is it unique to South Africa? The contributors in this collection try to explain the phenomenon from a variety of viewpoints and disciplines. All hold fast to the belief that the democracy that promised the country so much when apartheid ended has been significantly eroded, resulting in most citizens expressing a loss of hope for the future. Read together, the essays cumulatively show not only how state capture was enabled and who benefitted, but also how and by whom it was scrutinised and exposed in order to hold those in power accountable. The book aims to present a scholarly and empirical understanding of how things went awry, even with various regulating bodies in place, and how to prevent state capture from happening again in the future.…
