Download or read book Feathers from Heaven written by Denise Briley and published by CrossBooks Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first time Denise Briley took her two youngest children to one of the churches in their new town, they were greeted warmly. When the family arrived the next week, this time with eleven-year-old Clayton in his wheelchair, no one even made eye contact with them. Fortunately, the family found another church where all of them felt welcome. Although the church community didn't have experience working with people with disabilities, volunteers came forth to support the Brileys and help Clayton attend Sunday school and church. Born with severe cerebral palsy, Clayton inspired a special-needs ministry that grew to 80 100 participants, including volunteers. Children and their families who had never been able to attend church before found a welcoming community where they no longer felt isolated. This is the story of Denise and her beloved son Clayton, who passed away in 2009 at the age of twenty-five. It is the story of a mother's devotion and of her journey to places she never expected to be, doing God's work in a way she never could have foreseen. Honest and courageous, Denise shares not only her love and grief, but her struggle to find direction after Clayton's death. But whenever she needed a sign of God's presence, he sent her a feather. Feathers from Heaven challenges us to think about how we include people with disabilities in our churches, and to look for signs of God's grace in our own lives.

Download or read book Feathers from Heaven written by C. C. Ford and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. C. (Connie) Ford had experienced several unexplained "happenings" throughout her life-enough to know communication from the Other Side was possible. Then one day two years after her mother's death, she received a startling yet heartwarming sign that she recognized simply had to be from her mother-in the form of a hawk's feather balanced on the toe of a boot. From that day on, feathers have continued to arrive in mysterious and often humorous circumstances, always at the perfect time, either to give her guidance or simply to let her know she is not alone. Realizing she was meant to share these stories as well as the spiritual truths she learned from them, Connie wrote Feathers from Heaven in the hopes that a similar awareness might open up for others. Her book details many of her most incredible stories, along with the lessons these experiences have taught her about the importance of synchronicity and awareness-not to mention the enduring power of love.

Download or read book Pigeon Feathers written by John Updike and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this classic collection of stories first appeared—in 1962, on the author’s thirtieth birthday—Arthur Mizener wrote in The New York Times Book Review: “Updike is a romantic [and] like all American romantics, that is, he has an irresistible impulse to go in memory home again in order to find himself. . . . The precise recollection of his own family-love, parental and marital, is vital to him; it is the matter in which the saving truth is incarnate. . . . Pigeon Feathers is not just a book of very brilliant short stories; it is a demonstration of how the most gifted writer of his generation is coming to maturity; it shows us that Mr. Updike’s fine verbal talent is no longer pirouetting, however gracefully, out of a simple delight in motion, but is beginning to serve his deepest insight.”

Download or read book Grief Is the Thing with Feathers written by Max Porter and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here he is, husband and father, scruffy romantic, a shambolic scholar--a man adrift in the wake of his wife's sudden, accidental death. And there are his two sons who like him struggle in their London apartment to face the unbearable sadness that has engulfed them. The father imagines a future of well-meaning visitors and emptiness, while the boys wander, savage and unsupervised. In this moment of violent despair they are visited by Crow--antagonist, trickster, goad, protector, therapist, and babysitter. This self-described "sentimental bird," at once wild and tender, who "finds humans dull except in grief," threatens to stay with the wounded family until they no longer need him. As weeks turn to months and the pain of loss lessens with the balm of memories, Crow's efforts are rewarded and the little unit of three begins to recover: Dad resumes his book about the poet Ted Hughes; the boys get on with it, grow up. Part novella, part polyphonic fable, part essay on grief, Max Porter's extraordinary debut combines compassion and bravura style to dazzling effect. Full of angular wit and profound truths, Grief Is the Thing with Feathers is a startlingly original and haunting debut by a significant new talent.
