Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prophets have spoken. It is wise to know what they said. “It’s a fascinating story, a story you really must know for yourself.” History is strewn with wars and scrapping over religion. With the advent of the global village, people of different beliefs are being pressed up against each other, and the potential for major conflict is enormous. It behooves us to know what our neighbours believe and why they believe it. Though we may never agree with them, when we know what people believe, at the very least, we can intelligently disagree without being disagreeable. All that the Prophets have Spoken is about the most widely distributed and most vehemently disputed book in history—the Bible. If you are one of those who seriously wants to understand the message of the Prophets, then this book is for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this intimate national bestselling memoir, actress and musician Jamie Lynn Spears opens up for the first time, telling her unfiltered story on her own terms. You’ve read the headlines, but you don’t know Jamie Lynn Spears. The world first met Jamie Lynn as a child star, when it was her job to perform, both on set and for the press. She spent years escaping into different characters—on All That, Zoey 101, and even in the role as Britney’s kid sister. But as she grew up, faced a teen pregnancy, raised her daughter on her own, pursued a career, and learned to stand on her own two feet, the real Jamie Lynn started to take center stage - a raw, blemished, and imperfect woman, standing in her own power. Despite growing up in one of America's most tabloid-famous families, Jamie Lynn has never told her story in her own words. In Things I Should Have Said, she talks frankly about the highs and lows, sharing what it was like traveling the world as a kid, how she moved into acting and performing herself, what life as a child star took from her, and the life-changing reality of becoming a teen mom. She talks about how she finally found love and how the mistakes she has made have taught her more than anything else. She also shares vulnerably about how the ATV accident that nearly took her daughter's life brought her back to her faith and caused her to reevaluate and redirect her life. Frank, courageous, and inspiring, Things I Should Have Said is a portrait of a wife, momma, sister, daughter, actress, and musician doing the best she could to show up for herself and teach her daughters to have the courage to love every part of themselves, too.
Download or read book When the Norns Have Spoken written by Anthony Winterbourne and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the most striking aspects of the process of conversion of paganism into Christianity is the manner in which certain key religious concepts were modified, without being totally obliterated from the new religious language. Residual pagan beliefs persevered, at least for a time, notably that concerning fate. The argument concludes that only after pagan fate was transformed into the concept of god's Providence could the problem of death and salvation in relation to God's power be made fully manifest. Fate had become linked with death as a new beginning within Christian eschatology, and was thus, finally, temporalized."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book I Would Have Said Yes written by Lisa Simmons and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If God asked your permission before a blessing or hardship, how would you answer? Most would say "yes" to the blessing and "no" to the hardship, especially if it involved our children. Thankfully, God does not ask; rather, he gives us the gift of hindsight to look back and say yes to the hardship that made us who we are. Struggle produces more strengths than weaknesses, more courage than fear, and more resolve than complacency. Bookstores are filled with incredible stories of courage and overcoming insurmountable odds. No one wants to read about a person who was born, went to school, made average grades, got an average job, had an average family and died an average death concluding with an average funeral. We probably know lots of people like that, but there are no books about them. No, we want the stories of the "average" overcomers. We want to hear about the men, women, and families, just like ours, who have faced their own Goliath and won, because we want to believe, we too can muster the "umph" to make it through our own difficulties. I Would Have Said "Yes" chronicles an average family with above average determination, who are blessed by an incomprehensible and awesome God to see extraordinary miracles one day at a time.
Download or read book The People Have Spoken and They Are Wrong written by David Harsanyi and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-03-10 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Democracy may be one of the most admired ideas ever concocted, but what if it’s also one of the most harebrained? After many years of writing about democracy for a living, David Harsanyi has concluded that it’s the most overrated, overused, and misunderstood idea in political life. The less we have of it the better. “Democracy” is not synonymous with “freedom.” It is not the opposite of tyranny. In fact, the Founding Fathers knew that democracy can lead to tyranny. That’s why they built so many safeguards against it into the Constitution. Democracy, Harsanyi argues, has made our government irrational, irresponsible, and invasive. It has left the American people with only two options—domination by the majority or a government that can’t possibly work. The modern age has imbued democracy with the mystique of infallibility. But Harsanyi reminds us that the vast majority of political philosophers, including the founders, have thought that responsible, limited government based on direct majority rule over a large, let alone continental scale was a practical impossibility. In The People Have Spoken, you’ll learn: Why the Framers of our Constitution were intent on establishing a republic, not a “democracy” How democracy undermines self-government How shockingly out of touch with reality most voters really are Why democracy is an economic wrecking ball—and an invitation to a politics of envy and corruption How the great political philosophers from Plato and Aristotle to Burke and Tocqueville predicted with uncanny accuracy that democracy could lead to tyranny Harsanyi warns that if we don’t recover the Founders’ republican vision, “democracy” might very well spell the end of American liberty and prosperity.

Download or read book What There Is to Say We Have Said written by Suzanne Marrs and published by HMH. This book was released on 2011-05-12 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letters revealing a lost literary world—and a unique friendship between a brilliant author and a New Yorker editor. For over fifty years, Eudora Welty and William Maxwell, two of our most admired writers, penned letters to each other. They shared their worries about work and family, literary opinions and scuttlebutt, and moments of despair and hilarity. Living half a continent apart, their friendship was nourished and maintained by their correspondence. What There Is to Say We Have Said bears witness to Welty and Maxwell’s editorial relationship—both in Maxwell’s capacity as New Yorker editor and in their collegial back-and-forth on their work. It’s also a chronicle of the literary world of the time; they talk of James Thurber, William Shawn, Katherine Anne Porter, J. D. Salinger, Isak Dinesen, William Faulkner, John Updike, Virginia Woolf, Walker Percy, Ford Madox Ford, John Cheever, and many more. It is a treasure trove of reading recommendations. Here, Suzanne Marrs—Welty’s biographer and friend—offers an unprecedented window into two intertwined lives. Through careful collection of more than three hundred letters as well as her own insightful introductions, she gives us “a vivid snapshot of 20th-century intellectual life and an informative glimpse of the author-editor relationship, as well a tender portrait of devoted friendship” (Kirkus Reviews).

Book excerpt: An erudite poetry collection of deep, resplendent, proportions. PERFECT FOR ANYONE Documenting half a century of a man’s journey, it urges readers to never give up. Replete with a lifetime of romantic yearnings, political commentary, and quiet thoughts, this book speaks to everyone via the countless parts of the human condition. Most importantly, it’s never afraid to laugh at life. THE BEST COLLECTION #TIMHS - Comments + Praise + Reviews - TIMHS# “I was like most, totally uninterested in poetry. I humbly admit I was wrong. After reading this my mind is completely changed. I now see poetry for what it is - a puzzle of words. Every single word needs to be perfect, seamlessly moving the metaphor while maintaining structure, rhyme, and rhythm. I BEG YOU TO GET THIS BOOK! Even if you have NEVER read a single poem in your entire life, you will be happy. This collection is full of laugh-out-loud, edgy humor (or humour as he would spell it) and deep insights. When at my worst this gave me a boost. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!” —Anonymous Online Reviewer “I first met John in Ogunquit, Maine. I spent time in England and thought I knew the “Brits” - turns out, I only knew “some”. When he asked me to critique his upcoming book of course I said “YES!” I enjoy criticizing John in general, but, being busy, I kept putting if off. What a mistake - it’s a revelation! Opening the book at random is to have a conversation with John. His turn of phrase is perfect. Poetry was NEVER like this in school!” —Kent Bridges, Managing Director of the Ogunquit Playhouse "This volume by the irrepressible John Brand is a work of love and dedication. Each poem is a well-crafted gem, the rhythms and rhymes honed and polished, the turns of phrase masterfully rendered, the arguments cogent and solid. The messages conveyed — often mischievous and playful, sometimes...even sweetly sentimental — tug at the reader...provoke thought, and invite reflection.” ―Margaret Wong, PhD, Professor of Literature & Composition" “I’m a believer now in the power of poetry. Brand’s masterful poems are a true force of reckoning! Through his compelling words, he captures the mundane and boring qualities of life and transforms them into a gorgeous emotional symphony. Brand beautifully engages his reader on a deeply personal level.” —Jane, Online Reviewer "Brand's poems are humorous and often moving. I very much admire his "argument" for the Augustans not only in its wording but its tone and elegance. His lyrical poems recall [John] Betjeman and [Philip] Larkin, and there are of course echoes of [Tony] Harrison's earthiness. The range of form and tonality works very well, shifting seamlessly from high language to demotic. For a lover of a well-turned line or a surprising rhyme, there are any number of real pleasures here. This is a fine collection, I think.” —Mark Bates, PhD, Professor of English @About the Author@ John Brand is professor emeritus of English and an award-winning poet. Growing up in Sheffield (United Kingdom) surrounded by the prejudice of the time and with his strong northern Yorkshire accent, he was unable to attend University and instead completed an engineering apprenticeship. Turning back to college in his late 30s, he completed an English Literature and Linguistics (Honours) degree from the University of Sheffield. Moving to New England (Worcester Massachusetts) he furthered his education at the renowned Clark University and received his Master’s degree in 1996.

Download or read book What Roe v Wade Should Have Said written by Jack M. Balkin and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique introduction to the constitutional arguments for and against the right to abortion In January 1973, the Supreme Court’s opinion in Roe v. Wade struck down most of the country's abortion laws and held for the first time that the Constitution guarantees women the right to safe and legal abortions. Nearly five decades later, in 2022, the Court’s 5-4 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization overturned Roe and eliminated the constitutional right, stunning the nation. Instead of finally resolving the constitutional issues, Dobbs managed to bring new attention to them while sparking a debate about the Supreme Court’s legitimacy. Originally published in 2005, What Roe v. Wade Should Have Said asked eleven distinguished constitutional scholars to rewrite the opinions in this landmark case in light of thirty years’ experience but making use only of sources available at the time of the original decision. Offering the best arguments for and against the constitutional right to abortion, the contributors have produced a series of powerful essays that get to the heart of this fascinating case. In addition, Jack Balkin gives a detailed historical introduction that chronicles the Roe litigation—and the constitutional and political clashes that followed it—and explains the Dobbs decision and its aftermath.
