Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florida isn't just one big, paved-over shopping mall of designer gowns and ticky-tacky tourist treats. The fabled "Sunshine State" (Flarda, as the Crackers call it) still calls the romantic, the adventurous, the explorer, even the renegade seeking the peace and quiet of the gently washing surf or the mystery of the wooded swamp. Although rapidly dwindling under the flowing lava advance of asphalt and concrete, the natural and truest Florida can still be found and enjoyed and appreciated like it was by the ancients. These stories from the mythical, "Down Yonder, Florida," will get readers in touch with the magical, mystical, enchanting and - most of all - welcoming "Land of Flowers."

Download or read book Dear and Glorious Physician written by Taylor Caldwell and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 725 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestseller “alive with the bustle of ancient times” that “movingly reconstructs St. Luke’s search for God” (The New York Times). Two millennia ago, a Greek man known as Lucanus traveled to Alexandria to study medicine. He would become one of the greatest doctors of his time and heal the sick all throughout the Mediterranean world. But his extraordinary work as a physician is not his greatest legacy. Today he is known around the world as St. Luke—author of the third Gospel of the New Testament. He never laid eyes on Jesus, but he heard about Christ’s life and death, and saw God in Him. He retraced Jesus’s steps and sought out those who had known Him—including His mother, Mary. The resulting account is a cornerstone of Christianity and world history. From the celebrated author of Captains and the Kings and Great Lion of God comes this stirring and deeply inspiring story, counted “among the bestselling religious novels of all time” (The New York Times Book Review). “A portrait so moving and so eloquent I doubt it is paralleled elsewhere in literature.” —Boston Herald “Magnificent. . . . [Caldwell] has made St. Luke a real and believable man and recreated on a vast canvas the times and people of his day. You see as large as life all the glory and decadence of Rome and all the strife, turmoil and mysticism of Africa. . . . A glowing and passionate statement of belief.” —The Columbus Citizen

Book excerpt: In the fall of 1902, Portland’s trestle bridges linking parts of the city across ravines and bog lands began collapsing. Labor union operative, Sage Adair, is observing a carpenter’s union strike line. As the rain falls and the carpenters march for an eight-hour day, the situation turns life-threatening when the lumber mill owner’s goons, safely atop huge horses and carrying long staves, ride down on the peaceful picketers. Within days the situation becomes dire when the mill owner’s body is discovered in the charred remains of the company offices. All fingers point to the union president who is soon behind bars in Portland’s dank basement jail. Sage has no choice but to embark on the mission of proving the man innocent. As the story unwinds, the falling trestles become key to solving the murder. As does the unlikely assistance of Portland’s iconic ragpicker poet.

Download or read book Crossings on a Bridge of Light written by Douglas J. Penick and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossings On A Bridge of Light is the first English rendition of a vibrant and pivotal episode in the Gesar of Ling epic. In this story, Gesar, King of Ling, moves between life and death to free his mother from the bonds of hell. He traverses the six realms of being and passes through the five traditional states (bardos). His journey reaches its apex in four visions of the enlightened rulers of the Kingdom of Shambhala. Gesar's inner journey, his encounters with a panoply of beings embodying the spontaneous presence of the awakened state, enable him to heal the doubts and divisions that have come to threaten his kingdom. This tale of how the vision of an enlightened society can be realized on this earth has inspired people for many centuries; it is equally powerful today. The miraculous images of King Gesar dance so vividly on the pages of 'Crossings On A Bridge of Light' it's as if they were alive. It's beautiful! -The Ven. Tulku Thondup, translator of many important Nyingma texts, author of Healing Power of Mind, Boundless Healing, and Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth 'Crossings On A Bridge of Life' is a treasure, a work of true inspiration. It demonstrates that the tradition of Gesar and his significance is not lost, and that singers may appear in any land or time. In relating Gesar's quest to liberate his mother from hell, it vividly brings to life the Buddhist teachings on the six realms, the cycle of bardos, the pure lands of the five transcendent Buddhas, and the inseparability of existence and awakening. The poetry of its language deeply touches the heart with compassion and opens the mind to the ever-present reality of the awakened state. -Dr. Francesca Fremantle, translator (with Chogyam Trungpa, Rinpoche) of The Tibetan Book of the Dead and author of Luminous Emptiness
Download or read book Frozen Tracks written by Ake Edwardson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-10-28 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the land of the midnight sun, a compelling and dark thriller by Sweden?s master of crime fiction: The autumn gloom comes quickly on the Swedish city of Gothenburg, and for Detective Chief Inspector Erik Winter the days seem even shorter, the nights bleaker, when he is faced with two apparently unrelated sets of perplexing crimes. Mysterious assaults on college students in Gothenburg?s parks are carried out in the dark of the night, while during the day toddlers are abducted from their nursery schools and quickly returned, seemingly unharmed, before anyone even notices they are missing. Investigating these bizarre cases, D.C.I. Winter and his team follow their scant leads to ?the flats,? the barren prairies of rural Sweden, whose wastelands conceal crimes as sinister as the land itself. Winter must deduce the labyrinthine connections between the cases before the culprit?or is it culprits??closes in on his own family. Haunting and psychologically astute, Frozen Tracks is another triumph from the award- winning master of Swedish noir.

Book excerpt: Mary Brown, a divorced, forty year old housewife with five children suddenly finds herself eighteen years old, nude and lost in a land far different from anything she's ever seen. Then, she meets Fred and life gets infinitely more complicated. She's killed! Shortly afterward, she finds herself revived and pitted against Donovan Fausto in a life or death struggle. The best she can hope for is that she only gets herself killed. A horrific nuclear winter and a new "Dark Age" is far more likely. But first, Mary has to survive Boogey Monsters and their deadly short swords. A knife of her own would help, not to mention clothing, boots and a few friends to help her survive her first day in Galatia. Still, considering she needs years of training and experience if she means to match Donovan Fausto and she only has three weeks in which to do it, maybe it might be simpler for Mary if she dies. That way, she can't be blamed for the catastrophe to follow.
