Download or read book I Know This Much Is True written by Wally Lamb and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-06-03 with total page 884 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his stunning debut novel, She's Come Undone, Wally Lamb won the adulation of critics and readers with his mesmerizing tale of one woman's painful yet triumphant journey of self-discovery. Now, this brilliantly talented writer returns with I Know This Much Is True, a heartbreaking and poignant multigenerational saga of the reproductive bonds of destruction and the powerful force of forgiveness. A masterpiece that breathtakingly tells a story of alienation and connection, power and abuse, devastation and renewal--this novel is a contemporary retelling of an ancient Hindu myth. A proud king must confront his demons to achieve salvation. Change yourself, the myth instructs, and you will inhabit a renovated world. When you're the same brother of a schizophrenic identical twin, the tricky thing about saving yourself is the blood it leaves on your bands--the little inconvenience of the look-alike corpse at your feet. And if you're into both survival of the fittest and being your brother's keeper--if you've promised your dying mother--then say so long to sleep and hello to the middle of the night. Grab a book or a beer. Get used to Letterman's gap-toothed smile of the absurd, or the view of the bedroom ceiling, or the influence of random selection. Take it from a godless insomniac. Take it from the uncrazy twin--the guy who beat the biochemical rap. Dominick Birdsey's entire life has been compromised and constricted by anger and fear, by the paranoid schizophrenic twin brother he both deeply loves and resents, and by the past they shared with their adoptive father, Ray, a spit-and-polish ex-Navy man (the five-foot-six-inch sleeping giant who snoozed upstairs weekdays in the spare room and built submarines at night), and their long-suffering mother, Concettina, a timid woman with a harelip that made her shy and self-conscious: She holds a loose fist to her face to cover her defective mouth--her perpetual apology to the world for a birth defect over which she'd had no control. Born in the waning moments of 1949 and the opening minutes of 1950, the twins are physical mirror images who grow into separate yet connected entities: the seemingly strong and protective yet fearful Dominick, his mother's watchful "monkey"; and the seemingly weak and sweet yet noble Thomas, his mother's gentle "bunny." From childhood, Dominick fights for both separation and wholeness--and ultimately self-protection--in a house of fear dominated by Ray, a bully who abuses his power over these stepsons whose biological father is a mystery. I was still afraid of his anger but saw how he punished weakness--pounced on it. Out of self-preservation I hid my fear, Dominick confesses. As for Thomas, he just never knew how to play defense. He just didn't get it. But Dominick's talent for survival comes at an enormous cost, including the breakup of his marriage to the warm, beautiful Dessa, whom he still loves. And it will be put to the ultimate test when Thomas, a Bible-spouting zealot, commits an unthinkable act that threatens the tenuous balance of both his and Dominick's lives. To save himself, Dominick must confront not only the pain of his past but the dark secrets he has locked deep within himself, and the sins of his ancestors--a quest that will lead him beyond the confines of his blue-collar New England town to the volcanic foothills of Sicily 's Mount Etna, where his ambitious and vengefully proud grandfather and a namesake Domenico Tempesta, the sostegno del famiglia, was born. Each of the stories Ma told us about Papa reinforced the message that he was the boss, that he ruled the roost, that what he said went. Searching for answers, Dominick turns to the whispers of the dead, to the pages of his grandfather's handwritten memoir, The History of Domenico Onofrio Tempesta, a Great Man from Humble Beginnings. Rendered with touches of magic realism, Domenico's fablelike tale--in which monkeys enchant and religious statues weep--becomes the old man's confession--an unwitting legacy of contrition that reveals the truth's of Domenico's life, Dominick learns that power, wrongly used, defeats the oppressor as well as the oppressed, and now, picking through the humble shards of his deconstructed life, he will search for the courage and love to forgive, to expiate his and his ancestors' transgressions, and finally to rebuild himself beyond the haunted shadow of his twin. Set against the vivid panoply of twentieth-century America and filled with richly drawn, memorable characters, this deeply moving and thoroughly satisfying novel brings to light humanity's deepest needs and fears, our aloneness, our desire for love and acceptance, our struggle to survive at all costs. Joyous, mystical, and exquisitely written, I Know This Much Is True is an extraordinary reading experience that will leave no reader untouched.

Download or read book He Did This Just for You Spanish Pack Of 25 written by Max Lucado and published by . This book was released on 2008-01-31 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puedes mirar en cualquier direcciOn sin contemplar una? Colocada encima de una capilla. Esculpida en una lApida mortuoria en un cementerio. Grabada en un anillo o colgada de una cadena. La cruz es el sImbolo universal de la cristiandad. Una selecciOn algo rara, no crees? Es extraNo que un instrumento de tortura haya llegado a repre-sentar un movimiento de esperanza. LlevarIas una pequeNa silla elEctrica pen-diendo de tu cuello? O colocarIas una soga para ahorcar en tu pared? ImprimirIas en tu tarjeta de negocios la fotografIa de un pelotOn listo para fusilar un reo en el paredOn? No obstante, esto es lo que hacemos con la cruz. Por quE es que la cruz es el sImbolo de nuestra fe? Para encontrar la respuesta, no tienes que mirar mAs allA de la misma cruz. Su diseNo no podrIa ser mAs simple. Una viga horizontal, la otra vertical. Una se extiende al lado--como el amor de Dios. La otra se extiende hacia arriba --asI como hace la santidad de Dios. Una representa la anchura de su amor; la otra simboliza la altura de su santidad. La cruz es donde se intersecan las dos. La cruz es el lugar donde Dios perdonO a sus hijos sin disminuir sus demandas. COmo pudo hacer esto? En pocos palabras: Dios puso nuestro pecado sobre su Hijo y allI lo castigO. "Al que no cometiO pecado alguno, por nosotros Dios lo tratO como pecador, para que en El recibiEramos la justicia de Dios" (2 Corintios 5:21). O como se dijo en otro lugar: "Cristo nunca pecO! Pero Dios lo tratO como si fuera pecador, para que Cristo pudiera hacernos aceptables a Dios." Visualiza el momento. Dios estA sentado en su trono. TU estAs sobre la tierra. Y entre tU y Dios, suspendido entre tU y el cielo, estA Cristo sobre su cruz. Tus pecados han sido puestos sobre JesUs. Dios, quien castiga el pecado, descarga su ira justa sobre tus transgresiones. Cristo recibe el golpe. Puesto que Cristo estA entre tU y Dios, tU no lo recibes. El pecado ha sido castigado, pero tU estAs seguro--seguro en la sombra de la cruz. Esto es lo que Dios hizo, pero Por quE? Por quE lo harIa? Deber moral? ObligaciOn celestial? Requisito paternal? No. A Dios no se le puede exigir que haga cosa alguna. AdemAs, considera lo que hizo. Especialmente por ti dio a su Hijo. Su Hijo Unico. TU harIas eso? OfrecerIas la vida de tu hijo por otra persona? Yo no lo harIa. Hay algunas por quiEnes darIa mi vida. Pero pIdeme que haga una lista de las personas por las cuales sacrificarIa a mi hija y la hoja quedarA en blanco. No necesito lApiz. La lista no tiene nombre alguno. Pero la lista elaborada por Dios contiene el nombre de toda persona que haya vivido. Porque Este es el alcance de su amor. Y Esta es la razOn de la cruz. El ama al mundo. "Porque tanto amO Dios al mundo, que dio a su Hijo unigEnito" (Juan 3:16). Tan audazmente como la viga vertical proclama la santidad de Dios, la viga transversal declara su amor. Y, cuAn ancho es el alcance de su amor! Seguro que estAs contento porque el versIculo no reza: "Porque tanto amO Dios al rico..." O, "Porque tanto amO Dios al famoso..." O, "Porque tanto amO Dios al delgado...." No lo hace. Tampoco declara, "Porque tanto amO Dios a los europeos o africanos..." "los sobrios o exitosos..." "los jOvenes o los ancianos...." No! Cuando leemos Juan 3:16, leemos simplemente (y con contentamiento), "Porque tanto amO Dios al mundo." QuE tan ancho es el amor de Dios? Lo suficientemente ancho para abarcar el mundo entero. TU te encuentras entre los del mundo? Entonces el amor de Dios te alcanza. El amor de Dios es especialmente por ti. Es bueno sentirse aceptado. No siempre es asI. Las universidades te excluyen si no eres lo suficientemente inteligente. Los negocios te excluyen si no eres competente y, lastimosamente, algunas iglesias te excluyen si no eres lo suficientemente bueno. Pero, aunque ellas te excluyan, Cristo te acepta. Cuando a El le pidieron describir la anchura de su amor, El extendiO una mano a la derecha y la otra a la izquierda para que las clavaran en esa posiciOn para que tU supieras que muriO amAndote. Pero, es que no hay lImite? Seguro que ese amor tiene un lImite. TU lo pensarIas, no? Pero el adUltero Rey David nunca lo encontrO. El apOstol Pablo el asesino nunca lo encontrO. El apOstol Pedro el mentiroso nunca lo encontrO. Cuando se trata de la vida, todos ellos llegaron a lo mAs bajo. Pero cuando se trata del amor de Dios, ellos nunca encontraron su lImite. Ellos, igual que tU, encontraron sus nombres en la lista de los que Dios ama. --Max Lucado Porque Dios te ama, te invita a gozar de la vida eterna con El en el cielo. JesUs dijo, "Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida .... Nadie llega al Padre sino por mI" (Juan 14:6). JesUs hizo posible que aceptAramos la invitaciOn divina, y lo hizo especialmente por ti. Acepta tU la invitaciOn de Dios para que creas JesUs recibiO el castigo por tu pecado a travEs de su muerte en la cruz. Confiesa que has pecado y pIdele que te perdone. InvItale que entre en tu vida y pide la ayuda divina para abandonar tu pecado. Puedes orar algo como lo siguiente: "Amado Dios, confieso que soy pecador y que necesito tu perdOn. Gracias por enviar a JesUs para sufrir el castigo que mi pecado merece. Por favor, entra en mi vida y ayUdame a vivir una vida que te agrade. AmEn." Si acabas de aceptar la invitaciOn que Dios te hace, escribe tu nombre en el espacio abajo como testimonio de tu decisiOn. Luego escrIbenos y te mandaremos literatura gratuita que te ayudarA a crecer en tu nueva vida con Cristo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
