Book excerpt: CARDBOARD ROSIE is an endearing tribute to all fathers out there. So many children's books revolve around a mother/child relationship, when it's equally important to praise a father/child relationship. Emma, the main character, learns a valuable lesson about love and what matters most in life, when her doll, Rosie, experiences a disaster. Cardboard Rosie teaches the value of family and relationships. Too many parents work way too many hours and spend way too few hours with their children. This often causes children to get attached to objects to fulfill their need for acceptance and love. Children do not even realize they are doing this. Neither do their parents. The cardboard doll Emma's dad made for Emma in this book replaces her absent dad. After accidentally damaging her doll (Rosie), Emma realizes that the doll is not important, but it was her dad that she really missed.
Download or read book Telling Stories written by Cartledge Tony and published by Smyth & Helwys Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In telling stories, Jesus often used imagination and metaphor, pulling attention-grabbing stories and images from the air. He asked his hearers to imagine someone who could examine a speck in another's eye while a plank protruded from his own, or to visualize a great camel squeezing through the eye of a needle. He spoke of a despised Samaritan who showed unexpected compassion and a bigger-barn-building landowner who thought only of himself. Jesus' hearers understood that the characters and events in those memorable stories didn't have to be real in order for the stories to be true. In his preaching experience of nearly forty years, Tony Cartledge, like many other preachers, has often told creative stories as an avenue for capturing the attention and engaging the minds of those listening to the message he was called upon to bring. His latest book, Telling Stories, contains a smorgasbord of stories and scripts that range from the possible to the fantastic, along with one that really happened. They include original stories in folktale style and monologues or dialogues designed to illuminate biblical characters. All of these stories are designed to inspire those who proclaim Christ to effectively utilize good stories in their own preaching.

Download or read book Tangled Vines written by Frances Dinkelspiel and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 12, 2005, a massive fire broke out in the Wines Central wine warehouse in Vallejo, California. Within hours, the flames had destroyed 4.5 million bottles of California's finest wine worth more than $250 million, making it the largest destruction of wine in history. The fire had been deliberately set by a passionate oenophile named Mark Anderson, a skilled con man and thief with storage space at the warehouse who needed to cover his tracks. With a propane torch and a bucket of gasoline-soaked rags, Anderson annihilated entire California vineyard libraries as well as bottles of some of the most sought-after wines in the world. Among the priceless bottles destroyed were 175 bottles of Port and Angelica from one of the oldest vineyards in California made by Frances Dinkelspiel's great-great grandfather, Isaias Hellman, in 1875. Sadly, Mark Anderson was not the first to harm the industry. The history of the California wine trade, dating back to the 19th Century, is a story of vineyards with dark and bloody pasts, tales of rich men, strangling monopolies, the brutal enslavement of vineyard workers and murder. Five of the wine trade murders were associated with Isaias Hellman's vineyard in Rancho Cucamonga beginning with the killing of John Rains who owned the land at the time. He was shot several times, dragged from a wagon and left off the main road for the coyotes to feed on. In her new book, Frances Dinkelspiel looks beneath the casually elegant veneer of California's wine regions to find the obsession, greed and violence lying in wait. Few people sipping a fine California Cabernet can even guess at the Tangled Vines where its life began.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of stories covers the various facets of love: the way we feel for the different people we encounter, and the way in which love evolves for spouses, parents, children, and friends. God gave mankind the ability to love; however, life gives us changes and challenges. The things which test us throughout our lives also sway the depth of our devotion. As if it came from the separate, yet connected, chambers in our hearts, love is different for every person and every circumstance. We are a compilation of events, and the memories we carry affect our choices and ability to feel and express love. Most of us will fi nd it; some of us may embrace it, and others might never know love at all. As varied as the locales, the main characters in each story speak for themselves. Some are rich, and some are poor, but most of them are simply common people. They are young and old, male and female. If you look closely, you may even fi nd a spirit or a pixie hiding betwixt the pages.

Famed puppeteer and master manipulator Walter Gray surprises his three daughters by announcing there is a fourth at his 80th birthday party. An incomplete paternity test—and a will that places a condition on each daughter’s inheritance—suggest that the missing daughter isn’t a figment of his dementia. Jane, the eldest, is tired of her father’s eccentricities. She remembers the scarcity of her childhood and doesn’t want another sister to share the birthright. Rosie, born out of wedlock, sees the missing sister as her key to acceptance as a full member of the puppeteer’s family. Cora, the youngest, born after Walter achieved fame and fortune, is most concerned with extricating herself from running Walter’s company so that she can pursue her own life. The sisters each knew a different version of their enigmatic father, but all grew up in the presence of fairy tales acted out with marionettes and shadow puppets. If they are to find the fourth daughter and claim the legacy their father has left them, the three must confront their fractured relationships with their father and each other. Infused with fairy tales that sometimes spill magic into the sisters’ real lives, The Puppeteer’s Daughters is a stunningly-woven family saga about the cost and rewards of claiming a creative life.

She endured the loss of Moorey, Bobby and all of her babies over a four year time period. It was sad to watch her look for all her loved ones. Her story is about the feelings associated with loss and the difficulty in adjusting to change, letting go and moving forward. To live in hearts we leave behind Is not to die (Thomas Campbell)
