Download or read book From Under the Bushel written by Linda L. Greene and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meditation, or meditative prayer, can seem like a huge and rather frightening task. After all, it is a practice most often associated with the great saints. But you do not need to be a great saint to create prayers and meditations that deepen your own faith and move other peoples hearts. From under the Bushel demonstrates, describes, and encourages a type of meditative prayer that takes you more deeply inside the Bible and your own religious feelings than you may have been before. By imagining yourself actually present in biblical storiesboth in the simple moments or at dramatic eventsyou can use your own personal curiosity to form questions about what you have read. Author Linda L. Greene shows you how you can use your empathy to imagine their answers, to go behind the scenes, to carry on mental conversations with people, and to respond in your own unique way to the events you are considering. The Bible is about God, but it is also, wonderfully and always, about human beings too. There were achy backs and grumbling stomachs in the crowds waiting for Jesus. There were financial and marital worries. There were child-rearing problems. There were even pride and petty jealousies among the disciples. If you forget the humanity of the people in the Bible, you will miss many opportunities to feel as though youre right there with them and to meditate on the moments of their lives.

Download or read book The Bushel and the Candlestick written by Priest John and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2009-04 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas Eve. You are hours away from a three thousand-mile flight cross-country. The phone rings. Your great friend tells you that she wont make it through the night without your help. What would you do? A doctor tells your daughter that her seven-day-old son had a tumor and might not survive. What would you do? Many Christians believe we are living in the post-Christian era, a time when God is no longer sought for comfort and assurance. The Bushel and the Candlestick, by Priest John, proclaims Nine Lifesaving Miracles that will serve to instill great hope in a society languishing in near-spiritual despair. Personal accounts of the saving power of God, accompanied by scriptural support, will bless readers in a time of question, a time of hopelessness, a time of despair, and will remind those faithful to shine their light brightly, for neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, (basket) but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:15-16, KJV).

Download or read book A Bushel s Worth written by Kayann Short and published by Torrey House Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this love story of land and family, Kayann Short explores her farm roots from her grandparents' North Dakota homesteads to her own Stonebridge Farm, an organic, community-supported farm on the Colorado Front Range where small-scale, local agriculture borrows lessons of the past to cultivate sustainable communities for the future. "Scattered in among musings of local food systems, community action, family history, and current farm realities are clear moments of reflection that demonstrate Short's acumen as a writer." --Terrain.org: A Journal of the Built + Natural Environments "Short's focus on a CSA makes this memoir distinctive from other recent farm-related nonfiction." --Western American Literature Journal "A Bushel's Worth is my favorite kind of nonfiction. Not only is it about many topics close to my heart--gardening, food, family--it is a beautifully told story, and a love story at that, centered around the love of a couple, their love for the land, and a community's love for a way of life. This book forever changed my perspective and awareness as I 'walk out' in my own garden." --Katrina Kittle, author, The Blessings of the Animals "A heartfelt meditation on farm, food, and family. A Bushel's Worth tells a love story of the land and a life spent caring for it." --Hannah Nordhaus, author, The Beekeeper's Lament: How One Man and Half a Billion Honeybees Help Feed America "Kayann Short shares a passionate and often lyrical account of how she and her husband John took their first brave steps toward revitalizing a small Colorado farm and with it their lives and the community they drew around them. It is an inspiring story, a gift for all of us, both on and off the farm, who are trying to learn how to slow down our frenzied lives so that we may give ourselves to what really matters." --Gregory Spaid, author, Grace: Photographs of Rural America "With a companionable mix of literary and earthy sensibilities, Kayann Short writes with graceful, ferocious attentiveness and] finds reassurance for herself and her modern family in "the old wisdom of the fields." --John Calderazzo, author, Rising Fire: Volcanoes & Our Inner Lives " A] beautifully written and sensually rich 'ecobiography' of farm life...A Bushel's Worth is a loving natural history - of a farm, a marriage, and a way of life that has changed interestingly and dramatically over just a few generations." --Jane Shellenberger, author, Organic Gardener's Companion: Growing Vegetables in the West "The book is a substantial meal...as much about growing community as it is about growing food, and it leaves the reader with a generous bushel of instruction and inspiration on both counts." --Susan Becker, Director, Boulder Public Library Oral History Program "A Bushel's Worth: An Ecobiography eloquently depicts humans and nature coexisting and mutually benefiting not only in theory, but in actuality...where people treat each other respectfully as they gently work on and with the land." --Shelly Eberly, National Outings Leader, Sierra Club

Download or read book The Storyteller written by Dean Reding and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Storyteller looks at the parables of Jesus as told in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. By comparing the parables in each gospel we may be able to conclude why the writers of the gospels selected to tell the identical story. Is there a diverse meaning for each one, or do they all communicate the same message. We can definitely tell that some of the parables had multiple meanings and some were surely intended for a specific audience. A parable can be over analyzed, however, knowing to whom they were written and why they were told is a compelling study. Dean Reding was raised in the Texas panhandle during the fifties where the winters make you wish for summer and the summers make you wish for winter. He received a firm foundation in the Word under Reverend Mack A McCoy. He continued to study to show himself approved through three years at Southwestern Theological Seminary in Fort Worth and two years in the masters program at California State University at Long Beach. Since retirement from a major oil company he has been researching and writing this study of the Parables of Jesus as well as other books and poems.
