Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2016 Association of Catholic Publishers 2016 Excellence in Publishing Award: Inspirational Books (Second Place). Our Lady, Undoer of Knots: A Living Novena is a unique guided meditation from veteran Catholic journalist Marge Fenelon, who has created a new devotional practice from this classic novena that is a favorite of Pope Francis. Since the seventeenth century, Catholics facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles have turned to Our Lady, Undoer of Knots through a special novena--nine days of prayer for divine intervention. Catholic columnist Marge Fenelon resurrects this ancient tradition, also known as the Unfailing Novena, by reflecting on nine sacred sites associated with Pope Francis's 2014 pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Reflecting on such holy places as Bethlehem, the Mount of Olives, and the Temple Mount, Fenelon helps readers explore the "knots" or impossible situations in their own lives in order to find peace.
Download or read book Horton Halfpott written by Tom Angleberger and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A servant boy becomes an unlikely hero when a thief strikes in this humorous historical mystery by the author of The Strange Case of Origami Yoda. There are so many exciting things in this book—a Stolen Diamond, snooping stable boys, a famous detective, love, pickle éclairs—that it really does seem a shame to begin with ladies’ underwear . . . It all starts when M’Lady Luggertuck loosens her corset. As a result of “the Loosening,” all the strict rules around Smugwick Manor are abandoned. Shelves go undusted! Cake is eaten! Lunch is lukewarm! Then, when the precious family heirloom, the Luggertuck Lump (quite literally a lump), goes missing, the Luggertucks search for someone to blame. Could the thief really be Horton Halfpott, the good-natured but lowly kitchen boy who can’t tell a lie? A colorful and hilarious cast comes together in this entertaining mystery, Tom Angleberger’s loopiest novel yet! Praise for Horton Halfpott “A positively gleeful historical mystery farce. . . . A satirical homage to Dickens by way of Pratchett and Snicket. Short chapters, a fast pace and plenty of linguistic and slapstistic humor will have young readers hoping that a sequel is planned. The scribbly pen-and-ink chapter-heading cartoon illustrations are just icing on the cake—or pickle éclair. A romp from start to finish.” —Kirkus Reviews “Angleberger delivers many spoonfuls of sugar alongside the moral of this Victorian fable.” —Shelf-Awareness “Readers are in for a treat.” —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book Rank Ladies written by M. Alison Kibler and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2005-10-12 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A disrobing acrobat, a female Hamlet, and a tuba-playing labor activist--all these women come to life in Rank Ladies. In this comprehensive study of women in vaudeville, Alison Kibler reveals how female performers, patrons, and workers shaped the rise and fall of the most popular live entertainment at the turn of the century. Kibler focuses on the role of gender in struggles over whether high or low culture would reign in vaudeville, examining women's performances and careers in vaudeville, their status in the expanding vaudeville audience, and their activity in the vaudevillians' labor union. Respectable women were a key to vaudeville's success, she says, as entrepreneurs drew women into audiences that had previously been dominated by working-class men and recruited female artists as performers. But although theater managers publicly celebrated the cultural uplift of vaudeville and its popularity among women, in reality their houses were often hostile both to female performers and to female patrons and home to women who challenged conventional understandings of respectable behavior. Once a sign of vaudeville's refinement, Kibler says, women became associated with the decay of vaudeville and were implicated in broader attacks on mass culture as well.
