Download or read book Beautiful Days Holy Days written by Avraham Peretz Friedman and published by Cary A. Friedman. This book was released on 2015-05-27 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience the warmth and humanity of the Jewish holidays! "Beautiful Days, Holy Days" combines rigorous logic and bold creativity to present dazzling insights into the Jewish holidays. Rabbi Friedman’s insights are often very novel, but always have the ring of truth, and reflect his deep understanding of human nature. Many of the essays in this book reflect the author’s sensitivity to nuances of the language of Scripture, points so fine that the untrained eye could easily overlook them. Rabbi Friedman demonstrates the richness of the Torah’s language by showing us the important lessons that these little points contain. His facility and eloquence in English goes hand in hand with his sensitivity to Lashon HaKodesh, the Holy Tongue. His style is always precise and lively, never dry. More important, all of the essays radiate the author’s joie de vivre, a joy that originates from the service of God in accord with His Torah. The author’s joy is infectious. "Beautiful Days, Holy Days" will reveal dimensions of the holidays that infuse them with life and meaning, and will make their observance experiences of growth and satisfaction. A wonderful addition to the holiday table!

Download or read book Beautiful Days written by Zach Williams and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From New Yorker and Paris Review contributor Zach Williams comes a striking and savage debut story collection that confronts parenthood, mortality, and life’s broken promises. A couple awakens in a home in the woods to find themselves rapidly aging as their toddler remains unchanged. A work-worn employee navigates conspiracy theories and the threat of violence in an abandoned office. A tour guide leads a troublesome group to an ancient structure, apparently nonhuman in origin, discovering along the way that the most mysterious creatures of all are right beside him. These ten stories show the fallibility of time and how reality reveals itself behind the gauze of a dream—or a nightmare. Throughout, Williams illustrates how quickly we come to the edges of our patience and endurance, the hidden damages lurking in the shadows of the everyday, the distances we must travel to protect our families, and the tenuousness of even our deepest relationships. Williams sees the perversity in the mundane and dares readers to confront the power—and beauty—of time’s relentless movement. With exquisite prose and a lacerating wit, Beautiful Days holds a mirror to the many absurdities of being human and refuses to let us look away.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Witty, honest, and wise spiritual reflections that invite readers to embrace the bad, not just the good—from the four-time New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason (And Other Lies I’ve Loved) Kate Bowler believes that the cultural pressure to be cheerful and optimistic at all times has taken a toll on our faith. But what if we could find better language than forced positivity to express our hopes and our anxieties? Have a Beautiful, Terrible Day! is packed with bite-size reflections and action-oriented steps to help you get through the day, be it good, bad, or totally mediocre. This is a devotional for the rest of us—which is to say, the people who don’t have magical lives that always work out for the best. As she composed these meditations during a season of chronic pain, Bowler understands how every day can be an obstacle course. She encourages us to develop our capacity to feel the breadth of our experiences. The better we are at identifying our highs and lows, the more resilient we become. Like modern-day psalms, Bowler’s spiritual reflections look for the ways we can expand our capacity for courage, love, and honesty—while discovering divine moments with God. With bonus sections to use during the seasons of Advent and Lent, this is an easy book to read along with other people too. If you want to build your daily habit of spiritual attentiveness, this book is here to say: May all your days be lovely. But for those that aren’t, have a beautiful, terrible day!
