Book excerpt: "Do you play?" he asked. She touched the keys and pressed lightly on them. "A little." Her fingers spread out naturally and she closed her eyes as the instrument echoed softly. Demetrius recognized the composition and brought his arm around her so that his fingers rested above hers, gliding them along as she played. Then she suddenly paused and turned to look at him. How confused and lost she looked, but not anymore than he was. Their attraction grew stronger each time they encountered and no matter the dilemma making them take opposition, the animosity couldn't subdue the burning in their hearts. He leaned forward to kiss her when she turned her head downward. Caressing her chin, he raised it so that their lips lightly touched. Then he slowly brought his mouth to hers, prolonging the intense throb in her heart. The softness of her lips lured him in and he pulled her closer. He kissed her softly at first and when he found her tongue, his kiss intensified. Jen wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back harder. Then they withdrew and looked into each other's eyes without an understanding of where they were leading themselves.

Download or read book The Art of Grafted Song written by Yolanda Plumley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as our society delights in citations, quotations, and allusions in myriad contexts, not least in popular song, late medieval poets and composers knew well that such references could greatly enrich their own works. In The Art of the Grafted Song: Citation and Allusion in the Age of Machaut, author Yolanda Plumley explores the penchant for borrowing in chansons and lyrics from fourteenth-century France, uncovering a practice integral to the experiments in form, genre, and style that ushered in a new school of lyric. Working across disciplinary boundaries, Plumley traces creative appropriations in the burgeoning "fixed forms" of this new tradition to build a more intimate understanding of the shared experience of poetry and music in the generations leading up to, and including, Guillaume de Machaut. Exploring familiar and less studied collections of songs as well as lyrics without music, this book sheds valuable light on the poetic and musical knowledge of authors and their audiences, and on how poets and composers devised their works and engaged their readers or listeners. It presents fresh insights into when and in which milieus the classic Ars nova polyphonic chanson took root and flourished, and into the artistic networks of which Machaut formed a part. As Plumley reveals, old songs lingered alongside the new in the collective imagination well beyond what the written sources imply, reminding us of the continued importance of memory and orality in this age of increasing literacy. The first detailed study of citational practice in the French fourteenth-century song-writing tradition, The Art of Grafted Song will appeal to students and scholars of medieval French music and literature, cultural historians, and others interested in the historical and social context of music and poetry in the late Middle Ages.

Download or read book Women and Deception written by Beverly A. Callender and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written to fulfill a two-fold purpose: First, to expose the spirit of deception and its companions-denial, betrayal and seduction and revealing how they creep into the lives of a large majority of single women, surrounded by secrecy, perversion and greed and cleverly hidden behind lust and seduction. Secondly, to sound the clarion call, especially to those within the faith that there is a demonically inspired and crafty spirit lurking in the shadows waiting and plotting to attack any woman open to its ploys, whose goal is to destroy their God ordained purpose and curtail their destiny. I believe that as you read this book, understanding that deception works using lust to perform what appears to be true love, but beyond the veil of denial, there is a counterfeit monster of deception. My prayers are that as you read and pray you won't fall to its prey.

Download or read book The Immaculate Deception written by Pamela Stewart and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battle for men's souls is intensifying in these last days, and there is a growing urgency that we no longer walk by our feelings, but by faith in the sure testimony of the Word of God. From the Garden of Eden until now, Satan has mingled truth with a lie: "Hath God said?" Knowing that deception is an end time sign, we must seek now, more than ever, to know the truth in order to expose his lies. The Immaculate Deception first challenges readers to lay aside the doctrines and traditions of the Catholic Church and begin to question their salvation by no other source than is revealed in the Word of God. Secondly, the book reveals the truth surrounding Mary, the Blessed Virgin and Mother of Jesus, who is being used by Satan to attack the Catholic Church in these last days. The Author's ministry spans fourteen years of teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in prisons, missions and jails in Arkansas and Tennessee. She graduated Bible College from Forward Ministries - Global Ministries and Relief, Dr. Leon Van Rooyan, and is a member of Church of the Harvest. She has been a guest speaker on Christian radio, and has spoken to women's groups and churches in Tennessee. More importantly, her passion is for winning souls, and this book is an extension of that outreach to win souls in the Catholic Church.

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.
