Book excerpt: Merry Christmas from the Jenkins! A delightfully dysfunctional family that puts the fun in dysfunction. Tis the season, and with the Christmas holiday fast approaching, and the school semester finally winding down, Olivia Jenkins is looking forward to a little rest and relaxation, her crazy and eccentric mother, Grandma Helen, however, not so much. So now, in addition to already having to deal with frenetic Christmas planning, holiday decorating, and the hassles of everyday life, Olivia is also finding herself having to contend with her mother's fortuitous, if not slightly self-serving, foray into the adventitious enterprise of charitable giving. After begrudgingly agreeing to help coordinate the holiday charity drive for her local community theater troupe, Helen quickly comes to the realization that acts of benevolence and munificence may just be a wee bit outside her wheelhouse, and rather than suffer through it alone, she hastily enlists the help of her youngest daughter, and the one person willing to humor her many peculiarities and impositions. Humorously chronicled through the eyes of Addie, the Jenkins sixteen-year-old daughter, Olivia is finding herself once again having to juggle the indulgences of her family, while at the same time, working hard to keep her own sanity intact. Whether having to suffer through a calamitous Walmart shopping excursion, riotous baking fiasco, or administering damage control over a drunken and disorderly Santa, you had better believe that the Jenkins family will have plenty of wine, laughs, and witty repartee to go along with it. Join Olivia and the rest of her family as they serve up plenty of laughs, wit, charm, and of course, sarcasm, in this hilarious second installment of Tiffany Ryan's Delightfully Dysfunctional series, where fun and dysfunction not only meet, but are seamlessly and happily intertwined!

Download or read book Sacred Texts Interpreted 2 volumes written by Carl Olson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering the major monotheistic religions—Christianity, Judaism, and Islam—as well as selected Eastern religions and Bahá'í, Zoroastrianism, and Mormonism, this cross-cultural book offers excerpts of sacred texts and interprets passages to enable a deeper understanding of these religious writings. Sacred Texts Interpreted: Religious Documents Explained gives readers the opportunity to examine—directly—the primary sources of different religions and to better understand these texts through expert commentary on selected passages. The interpretative material investigates the nature of sacred texts along with the relationship between sacred scripture and canon, and it explains why these sacred texts have enduring significance and influence. The author provides suggestions on how to read a sacred text before turning to the textual selections from 13 religious traditions arranged alphabetically, beginning with the Bahá'í religion and ending with Zoroastrianism. Each chapter is devoted to the primary textual sources of a particular religious tradition and is prefaced by an introduction to the literature that places it within its historical and cultural heritage. The emphasis for each religion is on its foundational scriptures that are often considered sacred by its adherents. Readers will gain a much greater appreciation of how powerful religious texts have always been across human culture and throughout millennia—and of how religious thought and ideology have shaped daily life, built civilizations, inspired art and literature, and incited wars and violence.

Download or read book Say to the Sun Don t Rise and to the Moon Don t Set written by and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastoralist traditions have long been extraordinarily important to the social, economic, political, and cultural life of western India. The Marathi-language oral literature of the Dhangar shepherds is not only one of the most important elements of the traditional cultural life of its region, but also a treasure of world literature. This volume presents translations of two lively and well-crafted examples of the ovi, a genre typical of the oral literature of Dhangars. The two ovis in the volume narrate the stories of Biroba and Dhuloba, two of these shepherds' most important gods. Each of the ovis tells an elaborate story of the birth of the god-a miraculous and complicated process in both cases-and of the struggles each one goes through in order to find and win his bride. The extensive introduction provides a literary analysis of the ovis and discusses what they reveal about the cosmology, geography, society, and political arrangements of their performers' world, as well as about the performers' views of pastoralists and women.

Download or read book Charlie Hern ndez the League of Shadows written by Ryan Calejo and published by Aladdin. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A perfect pick for kids who love Rick Riordan.” —Booklist (starred review) “A winner for all kids, but it will be especially loved by Latinx and Hispanic families.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) The Lightning Thief meets the Story Thieves series in this middle grade fantasy inspired by Hispanic folklore, legends, and myths from the Iberian Peninsula and Central and South America. Charlie Hernández has always been proud of his Latin American heritage. He loves the culture, the art, and especially the myths. Thanks to his abuela’s stories, Charlie possesses an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the monsters and ghouls who have spent the last five hundred years haunting the imaginations of children all across the Iberian Peninsula, as well as Central and South America. And even though his grandmother sometimes hinted that the tales might be more than mere myth, Charlie’s always been a pragmatist. Even barely out of diapers, he knew the stories were just make-believe—nothing more than intricately woven fables meant to keep little kids from misbehaving. But when Charlie begins to experience freaky bodily manifestations—ones all too similar to those described by his grandma in his favorite legend—he is suddenly swept up in a world where the mythical beings he’s spent his entire life hearing about seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Hispanic folklore and into his life. And even stranger, they seem to know more about him than he knows about himself. Soon, Charlie finds himself in the middle of an ancient battle between La Liga, a secret society of legendary mythological beings sworn to protect the Land of the Living, and La Mano Peluda (a.k.a. the Hairy Hand), a cabal of evil spirits determined to rule mankind. With only the help of his lifelong crush, Violet Rey, and his grandmother’s stories to guide him, Charlie must navigate a world where monsters and brujas rule and things he couldn’t possibly imagine go bump in the night. That is, if he has any hope of discovering what’s happening to him and saving his missing parents (oh, and maybe even the world). No pressure, muchacho.
