Download or read book Hello Luke I m Mary written by Bob Cyphers and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gospel writers Matthew, Mark and John were eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus. Luke was not, and in fact does not appear in the Bible until his travels with Paul around 50 AD. And while the other three Gospels are extremely similar, nearly half of Luke’s text is original, and cannot be found elsewhere, including some sixty stories and parables. The nativity scene we worship on Christmas Eve is from Luke. The only reference of Jesus’s childhood, being left at the temple, can only be found in Luke. How does the Virgin Mary’s song, the Magnificat, wind up in the Gospel of Luke? “I too have decided, after investigating everything accurately anew, to write it down in an orderly sequence for you,” Luke tells us. And he does, with more detail than the other Gospel writers, who trace Jesus’s lineage back to King David. Luke takes it back to Adam and Eve. So how does a man who was not a witness to the life of Jesus, and who does not appear until decades after his death, have the most relevant details on our Savior’s life? There can only be one answer.

For English heiress Mary Ann Hardwicke, the Wild West is the perfect place to make her own life and escape a stifling arranged marriage. Hard at work proving her independence, it’s little wonder she has no time for handsome cowboy Luke McBride. No matter that he somehow understands the freedom she so badly needs—how could she trust such a wild spirit, much less find a way to love him? Like the broncs he busts, Luke doesn’t see himself settling down in one place, let alone with one woman. So, at first, Mary Ann is just an intriguing challenge. But her determination and bravery spark a longing to prove he can be the truly good man she deserves. Now as their enemies work to separate them, they will take a dangerous gamble on faith to claim an enduring love . . . “It is bittersweet when a series ends; questions are answered, readers are reunited with beloved characters. Mary Ann was a favorite; she defied her family and society to explore the Wild West to prove she could take of herself. Dunn is a talented author who has brought new and refreshing ideas to the historical romance genre.” —RT Book Reviews “This one swept me off my feet . . . I didn’t want it to end!” —First for Women
Download or read book Purgatorio written by Dante Alighieri and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second installment in Mary Jo Bang’s exhilarating, innovative translation of Dante’s The Divine Comedy Award-winning poet Mary Jo Bang’s new translation of Purgatorio is the extraordinary continuation of her journey with Dante, which began with her transformative version of Inferno. In Purgatorio, still guided by the Roman poet Virgil, Dante emerges from the horrors of Hell to begin the climb up Mount Purgatory, a seven-terrace mountain with each level devoted to those atoning for one of the seven deadly sins. At the summit, we find the Terrestrial Heaven and Beatrice—who will take over for Virgil, who, as a pagan, can only take Dante so far. During the climb, we are introduced to the myriad ways in which humans destroy the social fabric through pride, envy, and vindictive anger. In her signature lyric style, accompanied by her wise and exuberant notes, Bang has produced a stunning translation of this fourteenth-century text, rich with references that span time, languages, and cultures. The contemporary allusions echo the audacious character of the original, and slyly insist that whatever was true in Dante’s era is still true. Usain Bolt, Tootsie Fruit Chews, the MGM logo, Leo the Lion, Amy Winehouse, Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, and Gertrude Stein are among those who make cameo appearances as Bang, with eloquence and daring, shepherds The Divine Comedy into the twenty-first century.
