Book excerpt: The Novel, A Return to Goshen, recounts events in the life of a Jewish family, the Harts, in Charleston during the Civil War. Miriam, a wealthy Jewess from Philidelphia, marries Jacob, a Jew from Charleston. Upon moving to her husband's home, she is confronted with the "peculiar institution" of slavery. Although she tries to conform to Southern society she cannot shed her instinctive abhorrence of slavery. After Miriam interfers in the beating of a small slave boy, Jacob defends his wife's honor in a duel. He enters the Civil War as a field surgeon and is wounded at Gettysburg and found on the battlefield by his cousin, Daniel, an officer in the Union Army. The story revolves around the historical events in Charleston ; the firing on Fort Sumter in 1861, the deprivation of Charleston's populace during the war, the bombardment of Charleston in 1863, and the evacuation in 1865. Historical figures are woven into the plot, either by anecdotal reference or by appearance. The title refers to the slavery of Jews in Goshen and the irony of Jewish slave-owners celebrating their ancestors release from Egyptian slavery every Passover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few people have come through the last few years unaffected by the divisive social and economic turmoil. Many have experienced the most challenging times of their lives. Problems such as job loss, home foreclosure, divorce, and mounting debt have caused despair and hopelessness to be constant companions. Dwelling in the Land of Goshen offers a remedy for VICTORY during uncertain times. Joseph, son of Jacob (Israel) began life in the best of circumstances only to experience unexpected devastating loss. Joseph’s life quickly spiraled from great blessing to a curse of unimaginable pain, suffering and betrayal. Joseph made the choice to endure and TRUST God. Joseph trusted God even when it seemed hopeless. Dwelling in the Land of Goshen tells of two persons ability to reign triumphant over their challenging circumstances. Instead of succumbing to the uncertainties of life, both overcame and achieved the victory. VICTORY in life requires a few simple ingredients: participation, persistence, determination and courage. The recipe is simple, for best results follow the directions.

Download or read book Goshen Road written by Bonnie Proudfoot and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goshen Road is an elegiac, unvarnished, and empathetic portrait of one working-class family over two decades in rural West Virginia, with sisters Dessie and Billie Price as its urgently beating heart. Bonnie Proudfoot captures them, their husbands, and their children as they balance on the divide between Appalachia old and new, struggling for survival and reconciling themselves with past hurts and future uncertainties as the economy and culture shift around them. The story opens in 1967 with a logging accident and the teenaged Lux Cranfield’s headlong plunge into the courtship of Dessie—a leap he takes not only in the wake of his near-death experience but to exchange his bitter home life for a future with the Prices, a family that appears to have the stability and peace that his own lacks. Within the year Lux and Dessie marry. Meanwhile, Dessie’s rebellious younger sister, Billie, fights her way through adolescence with an eye toward an escape of her own, only to land with Lux’s friend Alan Ray Munn and settle into a life of hardship. Ultimately, the voices and passions of Dessie, Billie, Lux, Alan Ray, and the Cranfield children build on one another to create an unforgettable chorus about the promises and betrayals of love—and what it takes to preserve a family when everything else is uncertain.

Book The Goshen Factor

    Book Details:
  • Author : John Parish
  • Publisher : Thorncrown Publishing
  • Release : 2010-12
  • ISBN : 9780881442069
  • Pages : 120 pages

Download or read book The Goshen Factor written by John Parish and published by Thorncrown Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The headlines are enough to make the heart palpitate with fear: global economic collapse, climate change, skyrocketing unemployment, and worldwide uncertainty. The world faced these calamities once before. It happened in ancient times when Joseph was elevated to the right hand of power. He preserved the covenant people of God by transporting them to a place exempted from the world's deteriorating conditions. That place was called "Goshen." The epic story of divine preservation recorded in Genesis is a picture of the power of the Lord Jesus, our Heavenly Joseph, sustaining and protecting His covenant people in these unparalleled times of global distress. "The Goshen Factor" probes the reality of transforming the believer's surroundings into a dimension of blessing in the midst of a cursed world. Goshen was a famine-free zone for Jacob, a plague-free zone for the Hebrews, and a representation of the "abundant life" where "no plague can come nigh our dwelling."

Book excerpt: This "brilliant" novel, an Elle Magazine Best Book of the Year about "lying and the lure of fame" (Joan Siber, National Book Critics Circle and PEN/Faulkner award-winning author), reveals how one mistake can have a thousand consequences. Nofar is an average teenage girl -- so average, in fact, that she's almost invisible. Serving customers ice cream all summer long, she is desperate for some kind of escape. One afternoon, a terrible lie slips from her tongue. And suddenly everyone wants to talk to her: the press, her schoolmates, and even the boy upstairs. He is the only one who knows the truth, and he is demanding a price for his silence. Then Nofar meets Raymonde, an elderly immigrant whose best friend has just died. Raymonde keeps her friend alive the only way she knows how, by inhabiting her stories. But soon, Raymonde's lies take on a life of their own. Written with propulsive energy, dark humor, and deep insight, The Liar reveals the far-reaching consequences of even our smallest choices, and explores the hidden corners of human nature to reveal the liar, and the truth-teller, in all of us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It slowly began to dawn on me that, like millions of other women all over the world, I had been left forever by my husband." An estimated eighty percent of married women can expect to be widowed in the future. In Surviving Widowhood, a clinical psychologist explores her experience after the death of her husband, describing the profound changes to her understanding of herself, and her adjustment to the new configuration of her life. Addressing such aspects of widowhood as: reactions of family, especially grandchildren; her dreams, and their significance, in the aftermath of her husband's death; the importance of Jewish tradition and ritual; maintaining memories; and reintegrating into life, the result is a moving and uplifting read. Surviving Widowhood is an essential resource for women and their families and friends, as well as therapists, and at the same time is an intensely readable human story.
