Download or read book Encouragement from the Psalms written by Dr. B and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-06-12 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As James Brandon read and studied the Psalms over the years, he came to realize that the Lord was talking to our souls through these ancient songs. He was also struck by a book written in the 1800s by a man named Hawker, who after reading one of the Psalms would exclaim: “Oh my soul, what is this that thou hast found in the Holy Writ?” He would talk to his soul after reading the text. The author began to read the Psalms and reflect on what each one said to his soul. He has done that for fifty years. In this book, he focuses on the Psalms of Moses, which encompass Psalms 90 to 106. They may have been collected by “the men of Hezekiah” during the reign of King Hezekiah and/or by Ezra following the Babylonian Captivity. It was titled “The Numbers Book”—the Wilderness Sojourn and the Promised Land. (The Pulpit Commentary, Vol. 8, 254; The Companion Bible, “Psalms,” 720). The Psalms are a wonderland of devotion. They have enlightened the author’s mind and encouraged his spirit. They can do the same for you—all while providing principles for living this life as you help others walk with the Lord.

Download or read book One Focus Father Son Holy Spirit Sovereign Savior Lord written by Jeffrey E. Pollock and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-05-21 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Focus Christian Poetry is inspired by the Word of God and shared to glorify God in His Son Jesus. In this sin-sick fallen world the Lord Jesus Christ taught His disciples that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6), the only hope to reach His Father in Heaven. ABOVE ALL a sovereign HOLY GOD oversees and directs; every people group and every nation is under His supreme authority. The prophet Isaiah of Old put it this way: “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways... As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it flourish... so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is My word that goes out from My mouth. It will not return to Me [unfulfilled]." See Isaiah 55:9,10 & 11 When God said, “Let there be light," there was light! See Genesis 1:3 Without the holy light of truth humanity remains in darkness, BUT GOD our Father made it possible in His Son for all His children to see, believe, and be saved. The Word of God is LIGHT! Light reveals what is hidden in darkness and enables right vision, and knowledge of His perfect will. In the New, the Holy Spirit expounds on the Light of Jesus through John the Apostle: “The Word gave life to everything created, and His life brought light to everyone. Light shines in the dark and the darkness cannot stop it.” See John 1:1 thru 5 May these poems encourage you to look to Jesus for eternal truth as you walk in the light as He is in the light. See 1 John 1:7 Hope you will enjoy!!!

Download or read book Tiger Country written by Stephen J Bodio and published by Perkunas Press via PublishDrive. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rancher Juan Aragon has begun to revive the Pleistocene, and everyone must pay the bill. In the high country of southern New Mexico, home of the oldest wilderness and the biggest roadless area in the lower 48, ghosts are stirring, waking shadows of things that haven’t been seen for a hundred years. Reports of iconic beasts and mysterious carcasses filter down from the mountains, while something the newspapers call "The Bosque Bigfoot" is killing cows down by the Rio Grande. Soon the world’s attention will be fastened on the wildlands of New Mexico, as more than the fate of a single native species is at stake. In his first novel, acclaimed natural history and travel writer Stephen J Bodio, whose 1988 memoir Querencia depicted the landscape and ways of southern New Mexico, and gave many readers their first glimpse of this faraway country, imagines the rebirth of big predators like the grizzlies and jaguar, in his own back yard. All too often discussions of "re-wilding" are abstract, with little thought for their unfolding in the real world, as though the country were a park. In Tiger Country, the effects are real. As viewpoints and people collide, the media, ranchers, naturalists, activists, politicians, and ordinary people must take their stands in the real world, not just in theory. Respectful of all the actors, especially the non-human ones, and in debt to none, Bodio shows the heartbreak of unintended consequences. At times suspenseful, lyrical, hair-raising, and even funny it is a worthy fiction debut, and Bodio is uniquely qualified to tell it. Biologist, falconer, dog breeder, literary critic, and hunter, born in Boston but a rural New Mexico resident for almost forty years, he knows the wildlife, people, and cultures of his chosen Querencia. Malcolm Brooks, author of Painted Horses, says: "Steve Bodio brings his legendary Renaissance vision to this startling first novel, a work so mammoth in scope and elegant in execution it makes me wish he’d been writing fiction all along. Recalling the edgy best of Ed Abbey and Jim Harrison, and reminiscent of James Carlos Blake’s contemporary border noir, Tiger Country throws modern heroic renegades into the gravitational pull of the ancient past, to encounter the origins of the human condition."

Download or read book The Dry Heart written by Natalia Ginzburg and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally back in print, a frighteningly lucid feminist horror story about marriage The Dry Heart begins and ends with the matter-of-fact pronouncement: “I shot him between the eyes.” As the tale—a plunge into the chilly waters of loneliness, desperation, and bitterness—proceeds, the narrator's murder of her flighty husband takes on a certain logical inevitability. Stripped of any preciousness or sentimentality, Natalia Ginzburg's writing here is white-hot, tempered by rage. She transforms the unhappy tale of an ordinary dull marriage into a rich psychological thriller that seems to beg the question: why don't more wives kill their husbands?
