Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sojourner's Tale is book two of the Ice Age Sagas Trilogy. A sojourn is a rite of passage for boys when they reach a certain age. They are sent away to experience the world, learn new skills, and develop an appreciation for tribal life. The requirement is no different for Chief Howling Wolf's son, Red Deer. For Howling Wolf, the separation becomes even more painful when the village Shaman, Bright Moon, tells him that while most boys return within a year, Red Deer will be gone five summers. In the beginning, Red Deer looked at his association with a caravan as an adventure, but the days drag on until he meets Great Buffalo. At first, the two boys were adversaries, but circumstances molded them into friends. Their adventures take them, and other caravan members, into the South Pacific where they are faced with new foes, riverdragons (saltwater crocodiles) among them.

Download or read book Strangers and Sojourners written by Michael D. O'Brien and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An epic novel set in the rugged interior of British Columbia, the first volume of a trilogy which traces the lives of four generations of a family of exiles. Beginning in 1900, and concluding with the climactic events leading up to the Millennium, the series follows Anne and Stephen Delaney and their descendants as they live through the tumultuous events of this century. Anne is a highly educated Englishwoman who arrives in British Columbia at the end of the First World War. Raised in a family of spiritualists and Fabian socialists, she has fled civilization in search of adventure. She meets and eventually marries a trapper-homesteader, an Irish immigrant who is fleeing the "troubles" in his own violent past. This is a story about the gradual movement of souls from despair and unbelief to faith, hope, and love, about the psychology of perception, and about the ultimate questions of life, death and the mystery of being. Interwoven with scenes from Ireland, England, Poland, Russia, and Belgium during the War, Strangers and Sojourners is a tale of the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary. It is about courage and fear, and the triumph of the human spirit.

Download or read book The Way of Hope written by Melissa Fisher and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most churches today struggle to answer the same-sex relationship debate that is quickly transforming our culture, our kids, and our churches. As a result, Christians struggle to demonstrate love and grace to those with same-sex attraction. That means that more and more people who are looking for truth and a place where they belong are deciding that the church is either indifferent to their struggle or outright hostile to "people like them." There's a better way--the way of hope. With deep understanding born from her own painful experiences, Melissa Fisher shows that somewhere between the extremes of condemning and condoning is compassion. In this book, she aims to equip the church to make a positive difference in the lives of those hurting from relational or sexual brokenness. Perfect for pastors, parents, siblings, and friends of the ten million people in America who identify as LGBTQ, who long to love them well.

Book excerpt: A Sojourner's Truth is an African American girl’s journey from South Carolina to the United States Naval Academy, and then to her calling as an international speaker, mentor, and thought-leader. Intertwined with Natasha's story is the story of Moses, a leader who was born into a marginalized people group, resisted the injustices of Pharaoh, denied the power of Egypt, and trusted God even when he did not fully understand where he was going. Along the way we explore the spiritual and physical tensions of truth telling, character and leadership development, and bridge building across racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and gender lines. Join the journey to discover your own identity, purpose, and truth-revealing moments.

Download or read book The Comet s Tale written by Jacqueline Sheehan and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Publishers Weekly First-timer Sheehan offers an uneven but emotionally and lyrically powerful novelization of the life of Sojourner Truth. Born Isabella at the beginning of the 19th century, the future crusader for equality and justice spends nine years on a New York State farm with her wise mother and kind father before being sold-as a lot, along with sheep, at auction. Whipped for speaking her native Dutch, she begins to talk to God: "God is big to us, and we should speak to him under the biggest sky," her mother always said. So begin years of masters both kind and cruel, but none able to see her as a human-a blindness Isabella describes as one of the damages slavery inflicts on both slave and master. Though Isabella experiences indescribable horrors, she also finds love and desire; she even meets with rare self-sacrifice and aid from abolitionist whites, some helping her sue to get her son back from an illegal master. After she acquires her freedom and becomes a preacher, she falls in with a "house of seekers" led by a false prophet, Matthias, whom at first she stands by ("I did not survive slavery and see two husbands die of broken spirits to be put off so easily"), and from whose thrall she barely escapes. Isabella's strong, warm, distinctive voice is a genuine accomplishment, able to render tortures and prayers alike. Though the pacing is inconsistent, this is a disturbing and robust work, offering a new way of looking at one of history's greatest champions of freedom. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist Psychologist Sheehan offers a fictionalized account of the life of Sojourner Truth, relating the incredible saga of a woman who survived slavery and cruelty to become a fiery abolitionist orator. Sheehan's story is based on five years of research of public documents, including Truth's own Narrative of Sojourner Truth, which Sheehan's character describes as "weak tea." The novel is graphic in describing the cruelty and suffering inflicted on slave women as it explores the mental and emotional development of a young girl who is sold away from a loving family at the age of nine and thrown into the hands of a succession of cruel masters. Truth, who took her name from a divine inspiration, suffered the loss of the man she loved and later separation from her children, all the time receiving guidance from her conversations with God. Following Emancipation, she takes up with spiritualists before settling into a lifelong crusade for reparations for slaves and women's right to vote. Historical fiction fans will enjoy this sensitive portrayal of a slave woman's survival and triumph. Vanessa Bush Copyright (c) American Library Association. All rights reserv

Download or read book No Shadow of Turning written by D. Raymond-Wryhte and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-22 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine awakening one morning to find yourself in your house, yet surrounded by some vast, untouched wilderness. You look out a window to see a landscape familiar in flora and contour, yet obviously unaffected by human culture. All is natural, and impressing you with force. Inside, there is no running water, no electricity, no communication via telephone or radio or television or computer. Inside and out, you find yourself alone. What would you do? The novel begins with that scenario, and the reader is from then onward invited to identify with the anonymous main character, a person on a vision quest incorporating a number of Native American motifs. Taken to another realm, you ensue in a struggle for survival, one both physical and metaphysical. Not only must you discover how to obtain such necessities as food and water while doing battle with hostile forces, you must also seek to answer such basic questions of being as contained in Paul Gauguin's classic "Whence? What? Whither?" First edition comments from early e-press reviewers: "While the book starts out like a Twilight Zone episode, it quickly adds fantasy and magic to the mix. The book... contains some poetry, which is quite well written. There is also a noticeable religious theme through the novel. It is not overpowering; in fact, it's rather subtle.... The book, overall, is well written... in places, it's riveting.... I was totally engrossed with the story.... Let me say this is an enjoyable read, with many layers of story for you to sort out and study." Paul Gilbert of the e-zine Exit 522 on the Cosmic Highway. "I liked it very much; couldn't put it down. It is well-written, and I found it quite interesting as a nature tale and a spirit story." Philip Harris of Electron Press. "I did find what I read highly interesting and surely believe that there is a market for such a highly imaginative vision as in your story." Maurice Ferguson of Artemis. Second edition comments from a number of readers at FanStory.com: "Wow to a beginning of an enthralling novel. I felt as if I was in the twilight zone. Excellent descriptive phrases created stark images and evoked the feeling of the puzzling nature of the narrator. Very well done... so glad to run across you." Barbara O. "Wow, what a great start. Were this the beginning of a novel, I would purchase it without hesitation. Your style is gripping and fluent. I truly enjoyed it, and I look forward to reading more." LG "This is quite fascinating. It's an odd situation--one that would give anyone the willies. Your writing style is a pleasure to read. I'm looking forward to more!" Marjorie A. "Can't wait to read more. Quite graphic tale with lots of action, suspense, anxiety, terror. All the elements are here for an amazing tale. I will stay tuned." EL "Your writing is clear-cut, easy to follow, with no difficult or wordy sentences. A smooth, easy read. This chapter has some brilliant narrative. Sometimes the pieces of writing with less dialogue can be better and in this case it is. Well done! I found your story to be both well written and enjoyable. Aside from the dialog, which sounded quite realistic, there were many very realistic descriptive scenes which enabled me to completely visualize the events transpiring." Anonymous "You have a very poetic style to your writing and, although you use shorter sentences, they flow from one sentence to the next naturally. I also thought that you added great descriptive detail into the scenery..." Anonymous

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A debut collection of stories, uncanny and profound. In this striking debut, S. P. Tenhoff takes us to real and imagined countries around the globe, where characters find themselves passengers on voyages beyond the boundaries of their familiar world and their understanding of themselves. A town is split in two, a line painted down the middle, when two warring governments decide, arbitrarily, to redraw borders. A man hits a boy in a car accident that he begins to suspect might not have been an accident after all. An aging puppeteer in Edo-period Japan struggles to choose a successor before dementia overtakes him. And in the title story, a mysterious illness causes its victims to travel like sleepwalkers to distant countries, where they wake to discover that they are now fluent in languages and cultures they previously didn't know at all. Uncanny and profound, these ten stories capture those pivotal moments when our sense of place and self is forever shaken, and we must chart a new course.
