Alan Querry, a successful property developer from the north of England, has two daughters: Vanessa, a philosopher who lives and teaches in Saratoga Springs, NY, and Helen, a record company executive based in London.

Upstate er en vidunderlig og rørende familieroman skrevet af The New Yorkers feterede anmelder James Wood. Fortællingen kredser om de komplicerede familierelationer, som kan opstå ved død og skilsmisse, om psykisk sygdom og om hvorfor nogen mennesker kæmper med livet, mens andre kun oplever lys og fremgang. Alan Querry, en succesfuld entreprenør fra Nordengland, har et kompliceret forhold til sine to voksne døtre, der udspringer af en bitter skilsmisse fra pigernes mor og af morens død et par år derefter. Vanessa er lektor i filosofi ved et universitet i upstate New York, og har kæmpet med psykiske problemer hele sit liv – Helen er chef hos Sony og bor i London med sin mand og to børn og har aldrig oplevet andet end fremgang i livet. En dag ringer Vanessas kæreste og beder Alan og Helen komme til USA for at besøge Vanessa, som er faldet ned af trappen og har brækket armen; men faldt hun ved et uheld … eller kastede hun sig ned af den? Alans døtre har haft det samme udgangspunkt i livet, men alligevel oplever de verden helt forskelligt. Helens liv drejer sig om musik, passion, kærlighed og oplevelser, mens Vanessa er i en konstant kamp med mørket, som forsøger at oversvømme hendes sind. Hvorfor er det sådan? Er det at være lykkelig noget, man kan lære, eller er det tilfældigt tildelt ved fødslen? Er tanker om livets indsigter nødvendige for glæden – eller er de netop en hindring for den? Hvorfor har nogen mennesker nemt ved livet, mens det for andre er en lang kamp mod det indsnævrende mørke?

THis is the second book in the series. A translation of the Book of Galatians. It is unlike any translation you have read before. It is 30 years of searching deep for meanings of words to begin to understand what Paul was saying. Using New Testament quotes of the Old Testament so search what the Greek words meaning by those using them. Plus, linguistic studies on the words themselves to find hidden meanings lost for millenniums. And then to bring them into simple wordings. Deep insights into the Spirits of God is found throughout the pages. Yet, many questions it opens up. This is not a direct translation of Galatians. But adds meaning to what the people of that age knew already when a word was said. Ever wonder why the great theme of 'Justice' is so prevalent in the Old Testament, but not a word of it in the New Testament?

The author of this book has found a link in ancient Ugaritic cuneiform tablets with a time that happened after the Great Flood mentioned in Epic of Gilgamesh and by so many other cultures. This link has a profound affect on how History could be perceived and it answers some long thought about mysteries of the past. This book also reveals the history of the ancient gods of Ugarit and that they were not gods (per se) but humans like you and me. This book also reveals the distribution of the nations after the Flood and some amazing aspects of that culture, even names of towns, names of people, how they interacted, how they thought. This book reveals great craftsmen, amazing location of events and places, cultural aspects of that time, rulers gaining kingdoms, rulers losing those kingdoms, wars, death, incest, paid assassins, and so forth. And it has this whole time been in plain sight, and so this book reveals the keys to understanding the ancient myths, the Ugaritic texts, the myths of the gods, and so forth. Which will lead armchair scholars, archaeologist, and scholars of ancient texts into fundamentally changing how they perceive these events, and more than that, to glean from so many other texts information to the events that happened after what the Ancients called the Great Flood. This may sound like spectacular claims. And yes, they are. This is EPIC. So get the book to find out for yourself

The Law of Moses is good and holy, yet mankind is not. We know that there has been a change, because the Gospel declares there has been a change, but what are the ramifications of that change? The Great Court Room of Heaven gives insights into what happened when the legalities of the Law were fulfilled by Jesus the Christ and how this changed the Old Covenant into the New Covenant. The New Covenant is very important to understand for this is how God and man now interact.Though this may sound complicated, the legal terminologies have be translated into simple common language for easy understanding. The Great Court Room of Heaven is not a translation, though a lot of translating has gone into this. Since Jesus Christ has fulfilled the Law of Moses, there has been a change in the way God desires to interact with humans and how humans are able to interact with God, and that change is called The Good News.

A translation of Romans. It is one of a series of translations of the books of the Bible. It attempts to answer questions like, why does the principle of justice, mentioned so many times in the Old Testament suddenly disappear in the new Testament? And another question, if Abraham, Moses and you are called Elohiym, who are the Elohiym?This translation also has a focus on the Seven Spirits of God. And so inserts the 'spirit of' to terms like peace and so forth to identify them and their function. So it is not always a direct translation. But, was that what the Apostle Paul and others were talking about? It also talks words like 'accredited' and looks back at that Hebrew word and translates it to 'infusion.' For, the Hebrew word has the meaning of 'interpenetrated with.' The word infused is a more common language word than 'accredited' which doesn't convey the original meaning. This translation uses a linguistic style of translating, i.e. what is the one common word that best fits for the overall usage according to all the passages it is found in. So, this translation tends to use a consistent translation of major words to continue to get the same sense from the Old Testament to the New, to maybe understand what Jesus and the Apostles were talking about. This translation is not for the faint of heart or the deeply religious, for it opens more questions than answers.
