Book excerpt: As The Red Badge of Courage opens, members of a newly recruited Union regiment are debating a fresh rumor: they are finally going to move out on the next day and engage the enemy. One young soldier, Henry Fleming, reflects on what will become of him when he gets to battle - namely, will he run or will he stand and fight bravely? He enlisted because he wants to be a hero, like the warriors of the Greek epics. His own mother, however, was not interested in such fanciful notions of bravery, and discouraged him from enlisting. When he tells her he's joined the army, she denies him a touching farewell scene and merely says if he finds himself in a situation where he will be killed or may do something wrong, he should go with his feelings.He has not seen his foes yet, save for a conversation with one across a riverbank late one night. The veterans tell the young soldiers of gray, mad, rampaging hordes; but he does not trust the veracity of their tales. He does not care who he fights as long as he does not run away. He and his fellow troops - the tall soldier (Jim Conklin) and the loud soldier (named Wilson) - try to discern whether or not they will think of running. Both believe in themselves enough to say that they will fight as hard as they can, but neither goes as far to say that they definitely will not run.The regiment does not move out on the rumored day, but soon thereafter. They march with other Union army regiments dressed in blue. Their untested nature is shown in the gleaming newness of their unscathed uniforms. The men run down roads carved out in the forest. During this time, Henry's thoughts are mixed and distracted. One minute he feels that he should have never enlisted and misses his home, but the next moment he feels the overwhelming urge to observe a battle. From a safe place on a hill, he watches a skirmish in quiet fascination but does not experience the desire to participate. After he sees his first corpse, he begins to suspect that his regiment is being lead to their slaughter, to be sacrificed to a red war god. He wants to tell his friends his theory, but is afraid they will laugh.Soon, the regiment faces an actual conflict. Wilson, the loud soldier, is so certain he will die that he gives Henry a packet of letters to send to his family. As they line up to fight, rumors fly again about the state of their army. Smoke and noise from guns rise around them. Bullets and shells whistle towards them. A regiment in front, already engaging the enemy, is beaten and flees the battleground. The youth imagines they have been beaten by a monster. He resolves to get a view of this monster, even if he might very well flee himself. The regiment is soon engaged. They work feverishly, firing and reloading. The smoke chokes them and makes their eyes red. Henry is full of rage. Men fall occasionally around him. Soon, the enemy retreats and the men relax. Henry feels satisfied that he has overcome the trials of war.However, the men have not rested for long when the Rebels attack again. They fight fiercely once more. Henry feels differently this time; he believes that the monster of war, a red and green dragon, will come through the gray smoke and swallow him. After a few men around him flee, the youth's own fear gets the better of him. He drops his weapon and runs from the battle. As runs through the forest, he is sure that the dragon is pursuing him and that those who fight are fools. However, as he finally stops near an officer, he learns that his regiment won the battle. He is thunderstruck. He realizes that he has done something very wrong, though he tries to justify his actions by convincing himself his superior powers of observation led him to conclude his regiment was in trouble and that fleeing was necessary. He imagines the insults he will have to bear when returning to camp and attempts to get as far away......

Book excerpt: The Red Badge of Courage is the story of Henry Fleming, a teenager who enlists with the Union Army in hopes of fulfilling his dreams of glory. Shortly after enlisting, the reality of his decision takes hold. He experiences boring waiting, not instant glory. The longer he waits for the battle, the more doubts and fear creep into his mind. When he finally engages in his first battle, he blindly shoots into the haze of battle, never seeing his enemy. As the next enemy assault approaches, fears of Henry's death overwhelm him and he flees the camp. Henry continues his retreat for some time, even after hearing that his regiment has repelled the enemy. When he finally slows down and rests, he hears the sound of a renewed battle and, ironically, returns to the battle he fled from. He meets many wounded who are returning from the front for medical assistance. One of these wounded soldiers, identified as "a soldier in tatters", befriends Henry and starts a conversation with him; however, when the tattered soldier asks Henry where he is wounded, Henry evades the question by leaving him and drifting through the throng of soldiers. As Henry continues to walk with the wounded, he sees a veteran soldier in his company, Jim Conklin, who is mortally wounded. Henry follows Jim and eventually the tattered soldier joins them. When Jim suddenly collapses and dies, Henry is devastated. The tattered soldier asks Henry about his wound again. Again, Henry cannot explain that he has no injuries, so he leaves the disoriented, wounded and tattered soldier stumbling on the field. Henry is distressed by his lack of courage, but cannot overcome the guilt and self-hatred that prevent him from returning to his regiment. He hears the sound of a battle and sees reinforcement troops heading for the front. As he watches, the battle turns against the Union forces and many of the men begin to retreat. Henry becomes involved in their retreat. He tries to stop a retreating soldier to find out what's going on; however, the soldier just wants to escape, so he hits Henry on the head with his rifle, leaving him with a serious head injury. He is stunned by the blow and goes back into the woods. Henry then befriends a cheerful soldier who takes him back to his regiment. Henry fears being ridiculed by his comrades upon his return, but when he enters his camp, two soldiers, Wilson and Simpson, see his wound and immediately begin to minister to him. They assume Henry was wounded in battle; however, Simpson asks Henry where he is and Henry cannot answer. As the regiment prepares to relocate, Wilson asks Henry to return a package of letters he gave to Henry before the first battle. (Wilson feared he would die in battle and wanted Henry to deliver the letters to his family.) Henry realizes that Wilson was afraid of battle too, and is delighted to think he now has power and a weapon, to use to hold someone else's head. This knowledge gives Henry courage and restores his confidence. Henry turns his fear of the enemy into anger and becomes a leader, bravely fighting alongside his lieutenant. Henry becomes such a confident, assertive and aggressive soldier that, ironically, he becomes a fighting machine himself. Henry resolves his guilt for abandoning the tattered soldier by deciding to use the memory of this selfish and indifferent act to keep himself humble - to control any selfishness he feels due to his now strong fighting ability. When Henry's regiment is chosen to charge the enemy, Henry leads the charge with the lieutenant and, ultimately, also takes on the role of colored bearer for the regiment after the colored sergeant is killed. Henry's transformation from a fearful, lost and doubtful young man to a brave, confident and duty-bound soldier is the essence of the novel. It is the story of the growth of a young man from innocence to maturity.

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.

Download or read book The Thin Red Line written by James Jones and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2011-12-20 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With “shattering prose,” the New York Times–bestselling author of From Here to Eternity captures the intense combat in the battle of Guadalcanal (San Francisco Chronicle). In August of 1942 the first American marines charged Guadalcanal, igniting a six-month battle for two thousand square miles of jungle and sand. In that gruesome stretch sixty thousand Americans made the jump from boat to beach, and one in nine did not return. James Jones fought in that battle, and The Thin Red Line is his haunting portrait of men and war. The soldiers of C-for-Charlie Company are not cast from the heroic mold. The unit’s captain is too intelligent and sensitive for the job, his first sergeant is half mad, and the enlisted men begin the campaign gripped by cowardice. Jones’s moving portrayal of the Pacific combat experience stands among the great literature of World War II. This ebook features an illustrated biography of James Jones including rare photos from the author’s estate.
