Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folly There she hung, like any Juliet from her balcony, but did not perceive her husband at the foot of the stairs until he tossed a tiny bunch of celandines against her cheek. She caught the posy and glanced down upon him calmly and critically. She might well have been think ing that, burly and ruddy as he was, he made no bad figure of a country squire; but he grew uncomfortably aware that he was hot and mud-splashed and entirely out of harmony with her daintiness. She tossed back his flowers with the comment: They don't match my gown - see? In silence he returned the despised blossoms to his buttonhole, as she asked indifferently: Roads bad?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Fortnight of Folly Viewing the large building from any favorable point in the valley, itlooked like a huge white b: rd sitting with outstretched wings on the gray rock far up against the tender blue sky. All around it the Forests were thick and green, the ravines deep and gloomy and the rocks tumbled into fantastic heaps. When you reached it, which was after a Whole day of hard zig-zag climbing, you found it a rather plain three-story house, whose broad verandas were worried with a mass ofjig-saw fancies and whose windows glared at you between wide Open green Venetian shutters. Everything look new, almost raw, from the stumps of fresh-cut trees on the lawn and the rope swings and long benches, upon which the paint was scarcely dry, to the resonant floor of the spacious halls and the cedar-fragrant hand-rail of the stairway. There were springs among the rocks. Here the water trickled out with a red gleam of iron oxide, there it sparkled with an excess of car bonic acid, and yonder it bubbled up all the more limpid and clear on account of the offen sive sulphuretted hydrogen it was bringing forth. Masses of fern, great cushions of cool moss and tangles of blooming shrubs and Vines fringed the sides of the little ravines down which the spring-streams sang their way to the silver thread of a river in the valley. It was altogether a dizzy perch, a strange, in convenient, out-of-the-way spot for a summer hotel. You reached it all out of breath, con fused as to the points of the compass and dis appointed, in every sense of the word, with What at first glance struck you as a colossal pretense, empty, raw, vulgar, loud a great trap into which you had been inveigled by an eloquent hand-bill! Hotel Helicon, as a name for the place, was considered a happy one. It had come to the proprietor, as if in a dream, one day as he sat smoking. He slapped his thigh with his hand and sprang to his feet. The word that went so smoothly with hotel, as he fancied, had no special meaning in his mind, for the gas man had never been guilty of classical lore study, but it furnished a taking alliteration.

Download or read book The Triumph of Christianity written by Bart D. Ehrman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Christianity become the dominant religion in the West? In the early first century, a small group of peasants from the backwaters of the Roman Empire proclaimed that an executed enemy of the state was God’s messiah. Less than four hundred years later it had become the official religion of Rome with some thirty million followers. It could so easily have been a forgotten sect of Judaism. Through meticulous research, Bart Ehrman, an expert on Christian history, texts and traditions, explores the way we think about one of the most important cultural transformations the world has ever seen, one that has shaped the art, music, literature, philosophy, ethics and economics of modern Western civilisation.

Download or read book Abigail written by Magda Szabó and published by MacLehose Press. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A teenage girl's difficult journey towards adulthood in a time of war. "Szabo is skilful at creating moments of heart-rending tension, often through exquisite, evocative prose . . . the novel has a devastating power" Spectator Of all her novels, Magda Szabó's Abigail is the most widely read in her native Hungary. Now, fifty years after it was written, it appears for the first time in English, joining Katalin Street and The Door in a loose trilogy about the impact of war on those who have to live with the consequences. It is late 1943 and Hitler, exasperated by the slowness of his Hungarian ally to act on the "Jewish question" and alarmed by the weakness on his southern flank, is preparing to occupy the country. Foreseeing this, and concerned for his daughter's safety, a Budapest father decides to send her to a boarding school away from the capital. A lively, sophisticated, somewhat spoiled teenager, she is not impressed by the reasons she is given, and when the school turns out to be a fiercely Puritanical one in a provincial city a long way from home, she rebels outright. Her superior attitude offends her new classmates and things quickly turn sour. It is the start of a long and bitter learning curve that will open her eyes to her arrogant blindness to other people's true motives and feelings. Exposed for the first time to the realities of life for those less privileged than herself, and increasingly confronted by evidence of the more sinister purposes of the war, she learns lessons about the nature of loyalty, courage, sacrifice and love. Translated from the Hungarian by Len Rix
Download or read book Folly Grace and Power written by John Koessler and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2011-09-20 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you stand before your congregation, what do you hope to accomplish when you preach the Word? If people have Bibles and the freedom to read and pray on their own—why do they need you? In short, what do you bring to the table? Author, pastor, and professor John Koessler answers those questions and many more. Why does one sermon have a powerful effect on the audience while another falls flat? Why should listeners heed what the preacher says? Is human language adequate for facilitating an encounter with God? What is the point of preaching a sermon? Folly, Grace, and Power is a must-read for pastors, seminarians, and lay leaders charged with the task of preaching God’s word. This essential book is both a stern reminder of the sacredness of the awesome “job” of being a preacher, as well as a how-to that reveals the key to speaking powerfully on God’s behalf.
