Download or read book Dreams of Ivory written by Elizabeth Strombeck and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hopeless, an orphan slave girl who inherited an insurmountable debt at birth, faces a dreary life of oppression along with her only friend, Athaliah. But unlike the rest of the slaves held under the malicious Master Omri, Hopeless has an unexplainable urge to risk everything on the faintest hope of finding freedom. Scared to even acknowledge her desires, she longs for the impossible-to reach the king and queen, receive their protection from her owner, and someday return to rescue Athaliah. Little does she know that meeting the royal family will change her life forever, marking only the beginning of her dreams which are about to take shape in a way she never imagined possible... This story inspires hope in the darkest circumstances, courage to face the past, and acceptance of one's true self; it demonstrates the power of sacrifice, forgiveness, mercy, and unconditional love. Elizabeth Strombeck is from Orlando, Florida, and dreamed from childhood of becoming a missionary like her grandparents, Rick and Bette. At age seventeen this dream was fulfilled as she moved to Kiev, Ukraine. A few months later, she was inspired to write Dreams of Ivory while camping on the Black Sea (see cover photo) and completed it two weeks later. She returned to finish her bachelor's in Russian studies at Florida State University, then went on to Peru in 2006 where she wrote and directed a two-hour theatrical production of Dreams of Ivory in Spanish (where all other photos were taken). After two more years of ministering in Zhitomir, Ukraine, she moved back to Orlando. Elizabeth currently attends Northwest Community Church and is pursuing her dream of becoming an established author, developing stories for children and youth, including a fantasy series. www.dreamsofivory.com
Download or read book Imperial Dreams written by Tim Gallagher and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A decade ago, Tim Gallagher was one of the rediscoverers of the legendary ivory-billed woodpecker, which most scientists believed had been extinct for more than half a century—now Gallagher once again hits the trail, journeying deep into Mexico’s savagely beautiful Sierra Madre Occidental, home to rich wildlife, as well as to Mexican drug cartels, in a perilous quest to locate the most elusive bird in the world—the imperial woodpecker. The imperial woodpecker’s trumpetlike calls and distinctive hammering on massive pines once echoed through the high forests. Two feet tall, with deep black plumage, a brilliant snow-white shield on its back, and a crimson crest, the imperial woodpecker had largely disappeared fifty years ago, though reports persist of the bird still flying through remote mountain stands. In an attempt to find and protect the imperial woodpecker in its last habitat, Gallagher is guided by a map of sightings of this natural treasure of the Sierra Madre, bestowed on him by a friend on his deathbed. Charged with continuing the quest of a line of distinguished naturalists, including the great Aldo Leopold, Gallagher treks through this mysterious, historically untamed and untamable territory. Here, where an ancient petroglyph of the imperial can still be found, Geronimo led Apaches in their last stand, William Randolph Hearst held a storied million-acre ranch, and Pancho Villa once roamed, today ruthless drug lords terrorize residents and steal and strip the land. Gallagher’s passionate quest takes a harrowing turn as he encounters armed drug traffickers, burning houses, and fleeing villagers. His mission becomes a life-and-death drama that will keep armchair adventurers enthralled as he chases truth in the most dangerous of habitats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Dreams provides the necessary tools to interpret almost every dream object and its hidden meaning to better understand what your subconscious is telling you. Now in a pocket-size edition for easy, on-the-go instruction. Dreams can be fun and adventurous, but also frightening and distorted, and still again, they can be an endless combination of both. From spitting teeth out (a sign of aging), to creepy, crawly spiders (a sign that one feels like an outsider), dreams can mean much more to us once we learn how to decipher their hidden meanings. Whether positive or negative, The Dictionary of Dreams gives you all the tools, symbols, and their true meanings to translate our cryptic nightly images. Starting with selections from classic texts like Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, and 10,000 Dreams Interpreted by Gustavus Hindman Miller, one of the first authors to complete a thorough study of all the symbols that appear in our dreamscape, this updated edition features revisions (such as the addition of cell phones, computers, televisions, and more) of Miller’s original interpretations to bring the book up to speed with our modern life.

Download or read book Reading Dreams written by Derek S. Dodson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-06-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dodson reads the dreams in the Gospel of Matthew (1:18b-25; 2:12, 13-15, 19-21, 22; 27:19) as the authorial audience. This approach requires an understanding of the social and literary character of dreams in the Greco-Roman world. Dodson describes the social function of dreams, noting that dreams constituted one form of divination in the ancient world, and looks at the theories and classification of dreams that developed in the ancient world. He then moves on to demonstrate the literary dimensions of dreams in Greco-Roman literature. This exploration of the literary representation of dreams is nuanced by considering the literary form of dreams, dreams in the Greco-Roman rhetorical tradition, the inventiveness of literary dreams, and the literary function of dreams. The dreams in the Gospel of Matthew are then analyzed in this social and literary context. It is demonstrated that Matthew's use of dreams as a literary convention corresponds to the script of dreams in other Greco-Roman narratives. This correspondence includes the form of the Matthean dreams, dreams as a motif of the birth topos (1:18b-25), the association of dreams and prophecy (1:22-23; 2:15, 23), the use of the double-dream report (2:12 and 2:13-15), and dreams as an ominous sign in relation to an individual's death (27:19). An appendix considers the Matthean transfiguration as a dream-vision report.

Book excerpt: Modern day pirates on a quest to save an African treaure Ivory Alex Tremain is a pirate in trouble. The two women in his life – one of them his financial adviser, the other his diesel mechanic – have left him. He’s facing a mounting tide of debts and his crew of modern-day buccaneers, a multi-national band of ex-military cutthroats, are getting restless. They don’t all share his dream of going legit, but what Alex really wants is to re-open the five-star resort hotel which once belonged to his Portuguese mother and English father on the Island of Dreams, off the coast of Mozambique. A chance raid on a wildlife smugglers’ ship sets the Chinese triads after him and, to add to his woes, corporate lawyer Jane Humphries lands, literally, in his lap. Another woman’s the last thing Captain Tremain needs right now – especially one whose lover is a ruthless shipping magnate backed up by a deadly bunch of contract killers. What Alex really needs is one last, big heist – something valuable enough to fulfil his dreams and set him and his men up for life. When the South African government makes a controversial decision to reinstitute the culling of elephants in its national parks, Alex finds the answer to his prayers, but at what cost?
