Download or read book Valiant written by Sarah McGuire and published by Carolrhoda Books ®. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saville hates sewing. How can she not when her father, the Tailor, loves his bolts of velvet and silk far more than he's ever loved her? Yet, when he is struck ill shortly after they arrive in the city of Reggen, Saville must don boy's clothes in the hopes of gaining a commission from the king to keep them fed. The kingdom is soon on edge when stories spread of an army of giants led by a man who cannot be killed. But giants are just stories, and no man is immortal. And then the giants do come to the city gates, two larger-than-life scouts whom Saville cunningly tricks into leaving. The Tailor of Reggen is the hero of the kingdom, the king promises his sister's hand in marriage, and by the time Saville reaches the palace doors, it is widely known that the Tailor single-handedly killed the giants. When her secret—that she's a girl—is quickly discovered by Lord Galen Verras, the king's cousin, Saville's swept into the twists and turns of court politics. The deathless man is very real, and he will use his giant army to ensure he is given the throne freely or by force. Now, only a tailor girl with courage and cunning can see beyond the tales to discover the truth and save the kingdom again. Debut author Sarah McGuire artfully crafts a story of understanding, identity, and fighting to protect those you love most in Valiant, a rich reimagining of "The Brave Little Tailor."
Download or read book Brave Genius written by Sean B. Carroll and published by Crown. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The never-before-told account of the intersection of some of the most insightful minds of the 20th century, and a fascinating look at how war, resistance, and friendship can catalyze genius. In the spring of 1940, the aspiring but unknown writer Albert Camus and budding scientist Jacques Monod were quietly pursuing ordinary, separate lives in Paris. After the German invasion and occupation of France, each joined the Resistance to help liberate the country from the Nazis and ascended to prominent, dangerous roles. After the war and through twists of circumstance, they became friends, and through their passionate determination and rare talent they emerged as leading voices of modern literature and biology, each receiving the Nobel Prize in their respective fields. Drawing upon a wealth of previously unpublished and unknown material gathered over several years of research, Brave Genius tells the story of how each man endured the most terrible episode of the twentieth century and then blossomed into extraordinarily creative and engaged individuals. It is a story of the transformation of ordinary lives into exceptional lives by extraordinary events--of courage in the face of overwhelming adversity, the flowering of creative genius, deep friendship, and of profound concern for and insight into the human condition.

Download or read book The Good Book written by A. C. Grayling and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few, if any, thinkers and writers today would have the imagination, the breadth of knowledge, the literary skill, and-yes-the audacity to conceive of a powerful, secular alternative to the Bible. But that is exactly what A.C. Grayling has done by creating a non-religious Bible, drawn from the wealth of secular literature and philosophy in both Western and Eastern traditions, using the same techniques of editing, redaction, and adaptation that produced the holy books of the Judaeo-Christian and Islamic religions. The Good Book consciously takes its design and presentation from the Bible, in its beauty of language and arrangement into short chapters and verses for ease of reading and quotability, offering to the non-religious seeker all the wisdom, insight, solace, inspiration, and perspective of secular humanist traditions that are older, far richer and more various than Christianity. Organized in 12 main sections----Genesis, Histories, Widsom, The Sages, Parables, Consolations, Lamentations, Proverbs, Songs, Epistles, Acts, and the Good----The Good Book opens with meditations on the origin and progress of the world and human life in it, then devotes attention to the question of how life should be lived, how we relate to one another, and how vicissitudes are to be faced and joys appreciated. Incorporating the writing of Herodotus and Lucretius, Confucius and Mencius, Seneca and Cicero, Montaigne, Bacon, and so many others, The Good Book will fulfill its audacious purpose in every way.
Download or read book The Treasury of David written by Gene Fedele and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) was one of the most renowned preachers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as well as a prolific writer of evangelical works that have impacted the Christian Church over the past two centuries. His Treasury of David is his classic work on the book of Psalms which was originally published within the pages of his The Sword and The Trowel magazine over a 20-year period from 1865-1885, and then published in its entirety in a classic seven-volume set in 1885. The Treasury of David is quite unique in its composition as Spurgeon spent countless hours in libraries searching through the annals of eminent Christian authors throughout Church history for the choice comments he included with each verse of every Psalm—such as, Jonathan Edwards, Augustine, Thomas Brooks, Martin Luther, John Bunyan, Athanasius, Josephus, John Calvin, Thomas Goodwin, Richard Baxter, William Jay, John Trapp, Richard Hooker, William Gurnall, and many more. Upon completion of this work, Spurgeon comments, "The Book of Psalms instructs us in the use of wings as well as words. It sets us both mounting and singing. If I may only hope that these volumes will be as useful to other hearts in the reading as to mine in the writing, I shall be well rewarded by the prospect." One of Spurgeon's pastoral successors at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Eric Hayden, once called this “Spurgeon’s Magnus Opus,” and his wife, Suzannah, remarked that if her husband had never written any other work, this would have been “a permanent literary memorial.” The publishers at Bridge Logos have republished this superb set from the original 1885 first edition in an easy-to-read 10-volume set which is conveniently divided into volumes that reflect the biblical delineation of the Five Books of the Psalms—and includes a biography of C. H. Spurgeon, by Pure Gold Classics editor, Gene Fedele. “This extraordinary set of commentaries on the Psalms, from one of the Church’s last eminent 'Puritans,’ has educated and inspired generations of Christians since its first release, nearly 150 years ago, and it is our hope and prayer that through this “Treasure” many more will be richly blessed and encouraged in their faith, now and for generations to come,” comments Fedele. This Pure Gold Classics edition of The Treasury of David, by Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892), is an expanded 10-volume set, published by Bridge Logos, intentionally divided into the Five Books of the Psalms delineated in the Holy Bible (AKJV). The Treasury of David: Volume Three (1865-1885) is an exposition of Psalms 28-41 and includes an introduction, by editor, Gene Fedele. This Third volume, along with volumes One and Two are the complete commentary of Book One (of Five) of the Psalms, comprised of Psalms 1-41. Each Psalm is expounded, verse by verse, by the “Prince of Preachers” and includes precious biblical insights and applications on the Scripture texts hundreds of eminent Christians throughout history—such as John Bunyan, Martin Luther, Thomas Brooks, Jonathan Edwards, Augustine, John Calvin, William Jay, Erasmus, John Newton, Samuel Rutherford, John Flavel, Matthew Henry, Ambrose, John Trapp, and many more. As Spurgeon reflects, “More and more is the conviction forced upon my heart that every man must traverse the territory of the Psalms himself if he would come to know what a goodly land they are...None but the Holy Spirit can give a man the key to the treasury of David.” This classic set remains a priceless “Treasure” of divine spiritual nourishment for every child of God."
