Now a monk, he is forced to return to his dark and absurd childhood home to clear his name. He teams up with Ava Germaine, a renegade ex-model. And together, they investigate the depraved and lawless modeling industry behind Cecil's family fortune.</p><p style="margin:-4px 0px 14px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">They find erotic canes, pet rats living in crystal castles, and dresses made of crushed butterfly wings.

I did not mean to write this book - it just happened. I am about to be a missionary overseas, and I have seen Christians say they are called to the mission field, but I haven't heard of them having been preparing to go. This book was written to address Christians to encourage and motivate them to fulfill God's calling on their life, and if they don't sense a particular calling, to jump on board and help another Christian fulfill his or her calling. If we are the body of Christ, then we should be working as one, to one goal - the salvation of the whole world, so that no one will perish. There are languages that don't even have the Bible translation started in their language. Why not start there? That represents millions who don't even have a chance to hear in their mother tongue yet.

Woods is an uplifting book with a strong Christian message. The book speaks about God's will and tells readers to go for it if there is something that they really want to do.

It depicts everything in a positive way and eliminates negativity. Everything is looked at with a positive eye, which itself makes the book a good read.

That makes it very easy for readers to understand and get the answers to what they are looking for. The book is very spiritual, yet at the same time practical in handling life and its complexities that bother us so often. An uplifting book that can be used a guide in our lives when we are in doubt.</span></p>
