Download or read book The First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible studies I chose to do came about in answer to the request from my first congregation out of seminary. I consistently sought to present a serious, somewhat scholarly approach to the interest among my parishioners. I would take a book in the Bible to study, assume it was written or edited to be read from the beginning, and make sense to the reader in that format. I attempted to discover for myself and my group what the book sought to convey. In this volume, the study of 1 Corinthians (198283) followed that pattern exactly.
Download or read book Inn By The Bye Stories 19 written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a preacher seeking a fresh way into the text I would be using for preaching, I began to develop an imaginary world populated primarily by wee folk. I found that they - my characters as I found them developing and evolving not only in my mind but also on the page - served me well as a consideration of how I sensed things happening in the scriptural text at hand. I now want to make these stories and the world they represent newly available, and so I bring them to book form, fifty at a time.

Download or read book Inn By The Bye Stories 23 written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2021-01-13 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the last book in the series of Inn-by-the-Bye stories. It includes not only the final stories of the sequence but also a Prequel in that a related and prior set of stories, which had a different and unfulfilled purpose, provided groundwork for the eventual series itself. The Prequel stories are publicly available now for the first time at any scale. Among the principal stories, I found that these wee folk, the characters I developed and the way they evolved in my mind and on the page, served me well as a consideration of how I sensed things happening in the scriptural text at hand. I am glad to have the entire sweep of the project available now. The cover drawing is done by Eve Sullivan, the author’s granddaughter. The drawing is the artist’s conception of Anna, a young girl living in the Crossed Hills.
Download or read book The Burl Becomes the Blossoming written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-08-24 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry writing has proven proficient at helping me see what is there to be seen. I will see or hear or reflect on something which then provides an image, a nuance that emerges in a word, a line. The single line and image, written, provides a cadence, a focus of sound and echo that invites a second line, and more. Usually, they come quickly and run until they tell me they are done and the poem is complete. This book draws upon such poems over a pair of sweeps of my history plus a sampling of more current poems that strike me as desirable in this collection. These pieces of my past often recollect for me the occasion but also leave that occasion obscured and allow the poem to do its work of creating an image and a flow in my own mind. The poems, in my experience, write their meaning on my mind. And, I hope, on yours as well. For then the poems do their work.
Download or read book Weave Tapestries of Naught at All written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-01-30 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My poems help me see what is in front of me. They typically find that an image is presented, an image that seems to suggest a line of verse, just one which, when written down, enters into a cadence, a rhythm, a sense of sound and echo that evolves into a sequence of lines that flow. They flow until they stop, that is, and announce to me that the poem is, in fact, done. This book draws upon poems written some years ago, mostly in the years 2009 and 2015. There are also a few current poems that insist their way into the collection as they are accumulated in the current year's file. As I revisit the poems of years ago, quite often the occasion presents itself to memory - but not always. Sometimes that occasion is as if unnecessary and, indeed, almost in the way of the poem as it has come to be. Revisiting is always a pleasure; it becomes one of the spurs toward forming the collection itself. Indeed, it is the pleasure and the satisfaction in the book that brings it about. Satisfaction is such a boon to life.

Download or read book Without a Flock written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the free church tradition, the pastoral prayer has long assumed an important place in the worship of the congregation. It is expected that the pastor will have a more or less extended prayer pertinent to the day and/or to the run of the service in general. Under the circumstances of normal practice, these would involve awareness of a congregation, or a "flock" for a pastor to tend. After ending a normal pastorate and entering retirement and the far more occasional happenstance of entering a pulpit as a guest, the regular preparation for a worship-leading practice became desirable, personally. As a part of that preparation, most often without entering the leadership of worship, least of all as pastor, the pastoral prayer was prepared. This book collects eleven years worth of pastoral prayers, linked to the preaching text of the day by way of the sermon prepared. As there is no flock as reference point, these are, indeed, "Without A Flock".

Download or read book The Simple Curvature of Words written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My poems help me see what is in front of me. They typically find an image presented to me, a line of words appearing - a first line, in fact, and then begin to cause the lines to emerge until they are done. These have been stored - originally in hard copy form, more recently in electronic form. Out of those files, revisiting them in words read and images re-formed - either something akin to the original spawning image, or something created anew in my rereading - the selection is serially made to answer the insights revisited, regained and place them within the context of this manuscript. It is a pleasure to revisit those words, re-see the context and now to share the results of my delight with you.
