Download or read book Inspiration From a Masterpiece A Work of Art written by D. C. Schorno and published by Covenant Books. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you created or invented? Do you know? Have you ever had this question cross your mind? Unfortunately, mainstream America has never posed this question to people. We've left out the designer, the potter, the sculptor, the painter, and the great poet. In this book, I hope to open the door that has been closed for many years. Our education system in this nation is deeply secular and humanistic. We are encouraged from the day we enter grade school to find what we love and have an interest in, and then pursue those dreams and we will find happiness and fulfillment. Sadly, this has turned out to be bad advice for many students upon reaching adulthood. Disillusioned and following their dreams, they work many years in occupations, soon realizing again and again and job after job, they have lost the passion they once knew. Now determined more than ever to locate a new career these people move on to their next dream. In these pages, I hope to bring some clarity to this dilemma in which a majority of us encounter at some point in our life walk. I will also feature real-life stories of people who shared moments in my life, some with significant and positive outcomes and some unfortunately with tragic endings, not easy to understand or for some folks to accept. I hope this book will encourage and inspire everyone who picks it up to read and find the hidden lessons in each story. God has crafted each and every one of his children with intimate brush strokes, which are yours and yours only, which no other painting receives. Instead of inventing yourself over and over again in a lifetime of nurturing frustration and disappointment, find out what God created you to be. In this book, I will share real stories with different perspectives regarding uniqueness, purpose, destiny, vocation, as well as how to know when to be patient waiting on the Lord, and knowing when to be content in your vocation. Learning to hone a keen eye, how to look for God and his plan, and accepting the mysteries and unknowns, which God will never reveal to us here on this earth. You may ask, well, what or where did you acquire this wisdom and insight? I've gathered these experiences over a lifetime of doubts and unknowns and frustration. Therefore, it's my desire to share them with everyone who is brave enough to take the journey in discovering their true identity, their true value, and the work of art God hoped you would become in order to complete his goal for you to give him the greatest possible glory. I pray each person who picks up this book will find inspiration and motivation to take the necessary steps needed to draw close to the grand designer in order to become his masterpiece; a divine product, his workmanship, his poetry, a work of art.

Download or read book Observatory Mansions written by Edward Carey and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-02-24 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Easily the most brilliant fiction I've seen this year -- it proves the potential brilliance of the novel form." -- John Fowles, author of The Magus Observatory Mansions, once the Orme family's magnificent ancestral home set on beautiful grounds, is now a crumbling apartment block stranded on a traffic island, peopled with eccentrics. Thirty-seven-year-old Francis Orme lives in Observatory Mansions with his peculiar parents and a collection of misfits. By day he is a street performer, earning money as "a statue of whiteness" in the park, wearing white gloves to ensure that his skin never touches anything. He steals items for his museum of significant objects (996 in all), not for their monetary value but because they have been loved, often bringing grief to their erstwhile owners. His bedridden mother, Alice, who has created for herself an alternative time frame called "fiction," and his father, Francis, are among the occupants set apart from the rest of the busy city by their histories, their memories, and their relationships with the other seven inhabitants of the flats. Each of the house dwellers has his or her own story, as seen through Francis's eyes, and the careful routine and harmony of the house are shaken when along comes a new resident, the half-blind, vulnerable Anna Tap. She is sympathetic and resourceful, and slowly the desperately lonely residents begin to open up their long-closed hearts. As the delicate balance of Observatory Mansions begins to shift, Francis finds himself having to protect the secrets of his past and the sanctity of his collection, while growing emotionally closer to Anna. Hailed as no less than a tour de force, Observatory Mansions is a debut novel of immense originality--a strangely haunting landscape occupied by compelling and unforgettable characters.
