Book excerpt: “An extraordinary novel . . . a triumph of insight and storytelling.” —Associated Press “A true masterpiece.” —Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed An extraordinary story set in the first century about a woman who finds her voice and her destiny, from the celebrated number one New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Life of Bees and The Invention of Wings In her mesmerizing fourth work of fiction, Sue Monk Kidd takes an audacious approach to history and brings her acclaimed narrative gifts to imagine the story of a young woman named Ana. Raised in a wealthy family with ties to the ruler of Galilee, she is rebellious and ambitious, with a brilliant mind and a daring spirit. She engages in furtive scholarly pursuits and writes narratives about neglected and silenced women. Ana is expected to marry an older widower, a prospect that horrifies her. An encounter with eighteen-year-old Jesus changes everything. Their marriage evolves with love and conflict, humor and pathos in Nazareth, where Ana makes a home with Jesus, his brothers, and their mother, Mary. Ana's pent-up longings intensify amid the turbulent resistance to Rome's occupation of Israel, partially led by her brother, Judas. She is sustained by her fearless aunt Yaltha, who harbors a compelling secret. When Ana commits a brazen act that puts her in peril, she flees to Alexandria, where startling revelations and greater dangers unfold, and she finds refuge in unexpected surroundings. Ana determines her fate during a stunning convergence of events considered among the most impactful in human history. Grounded in meticulous research and written with a reverential approach to Jesus's life that focuses on his humanity, The Book of Longings is an inspiring, unforgettable account of one woman's bold struggle to realize the passion and potential inside her, while living in a time, place and culture devised to silence her. It is a triumph of storytelling both timely and timeless, from a masterful writer at the height of her powers.

Book excerpt: It is the will of God for every soul to be saved. The exodus of your consciousness out of the known and seen, into the unknown and the unseen. Be found in the arc when the flood of perversion reach its full momentum; get inside your human spirit. Let your consciousness be found covered in the Blood; enter into your arc, made and provided by God, hidden in flesh and bone, like the Son of man was hidden in flesh and bone. A new age is dawning upon man. The final battle is about the soul; a time of divine wisdom and discernment, beyond the world of human understanding and emotion; the weapons of our time are spiritual; only the spirit of man can overcome. A war-cry in the heavenlies, do you hear it? The final battle has just begun. Awake oh man of valor, for your time has come. Where are the generals? Where are the soldiers? Where's the watchman? Where are the warriors? Where are the kings? Where are the priests? Do you hear the drums in the distance, do you hear the rain, she's bringing the new sound, do you hear her coming, she carrying My heartbeat? Align o people of valor, awake and align, for the time has come!
Download or read book The Women in the Life of the Bridegroom written by Adeline Fehribach and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds new light on the women in the Fourth Gospel. Unlike most works that approach the topic from a historical-critical perspective, this book approaches the topic from a historical-literary perspective and attempts to illustrate for the modern reader how a first-century reader would have understood the characterizations of the women, given first-century cultural and literary norms and the theology of the implied author. The thesis of this book is that the primary purpose of the women in the Fourth Gospel is to support the portrayal of Jesus as the Messianic Bridegroom and further the plot of Jesus' giving the people the power to become children of God (John 1:12). This historical-literary analysis exposes a highly androcentric and patriarchal text, which leads the author in the end to question current assumptions that behind the text exists a community or school whose egalitarianism extended to women.

Book excerpt: A fun and informative guide to the how and why of proper names and their haphazard entry into common English language by the author of the bestselling Amo, Amas, Amat and More.

In What's in a Name? Ehrlich traces the history of eponymous words and their progenitors, illuminating the legacy of Louis Braille, inventor of the system of embossed printing for the blind; the verbal acrobatics of Baron Munchausen; the sadism of the Marquis de Sade; and much more. What's in a Name? will amuse and enlighten word buffs, history lovers, and trivia pursuers alike as Ehrlich, in his inimitable way, uncovers an exhaustive assemblage of characters who have left an indelible mark on the English language.

Download or read book From Carpenter to King written by John Fuja and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-09-09 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Carpenter to King is a fictitious narrative of what Jesus’s private life might have been like during his public ministry. The novel focuses equally on the human and the divine nature of Christ. The story delves into the acrimonious relationship between Caiaphas, the high priest, and his father-in-law, Annas. Both men are despised by the Roman procurator, Pontius Pilate. Centurion Gaius Longinus is appointed by Pilate to clandestinely follow the Messiah. His plan is to use Jesus as his pawn in bringing about the downfall of Annas and Caiaphas. Pilate’s wife—Claudia, the granddaughter of Caesar—appeals to her father, a noted Roman senator, to allow her half brother Marcus to begin his military career under her husband’s command. On his first mission as a courier, Marcus is captured and abused by a brigand named Barabbas. The incident prompts General Flavius to resign from the senate and sail to the Middle East with a cohort of soldiers. Once he and his army arrived, Flavius wreaked havoc throughout Galilee as he attempted to capture his son’s abuser. The novel remains true to the Gospel’s accounts while also intertwining the personal lives and loves of individuals who have been touched by Jesus. Blended within the story is a copious amount of intrigue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, millions of men and women stand before friends and family to pledge their lifelong love to each other.

As a result, many marriages don’t last, and many more married couples are trudging along looking for something more. Love Like You Mean It gives husbands and wives a biblical understanding of what real love looks like in marriage by unpacking the ten attributes of genuine love listed in 1 Corinthians 13. Bob Lepine, marriage and family expert and host of the nationally syndicated radio program FamilyLife Today, helps husbands and wives discover that it’s not primarily emotions that define marital love, but actions and decisions that fuel emotions and cause marital love to grow. Every person who is married, would like to be married one day, or wants to understand more about the biblical vision of marriage will find what they’re looking for as they dive deep into Love Like You Mean It.
