She was raised with a sister and three brothers. The three oldest of the children were very close in age and did everything together as young children. The other two children came along later. So they were not as close as the older three were. She went on to marry her first love at age fifteen. He was twenty. He drank a lot of beer so consequently there were a lot of problems. Over the years, he was unfaithful to her multiple of times. He was not yet ready to settle down. Yet they had three children to raise. Roland was a commercial fisherman and times were hard. He would go out and get whatever seafood was in season to sell and bring some home to cook. He spent lots of time away from home, sometimes two or three days. Sometimes he would be working, but most of the time, he was just goofing off or spending time with other people, and sometimes it would be with other women. Sometimes Jean would go out and find him and get him to come home. Jean spent a lot of time cleaning the house and moving the furniture around from boredom. Other times, she would work outside the home. She tried to keep a stable home for the kids as best she could under the circumstances. Sometimes Roland would take the children out on the boat, fishing and clamming. One time, there was an accident that occurred while he had the two boys out in the ocean on a small boat. Roland escaped near death several times from events that happened while working in his fishing profession as a commercial fisherman. What happened to him? And what happened to the girl in this story? This is a story that never gets boring. It keeps your interest to the end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open The Fishermans Wife and you enter the world of first-century Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee. This is the hometown of St. Peters wife. What was it like to be a Jewish woman married to a man who leaves home for long stretches of time to follow Jesus, a controversial preacher with mysterious powers? Through The Fishermans Wife you experience the unusual life of Peters wife vicariously. In Capernaum you meet not only impetuous Peter, but the tempestuous Zebedee brothers and other apostles, persons Jesus healed, Mary, and the Lord himself. People in the Bible spring to life as their stories are told through the eyes of St. Peters wife. At first she regards Jesus as a rival for her husbands affections. As she transforms from a doubter into a fervent disciple, you are treated to a personal and unique view not only of Peter but of Jesushis words and actions culminating in his death and rising. By the time you are finished reading, you will feel as though you know the people who walk through the Bible at the time of Jesus. From then on, hearing and reading their stories in Scripture will never be the same. Kathleen Glavich has authored numerous books on the Bible for all ages and was privileged to visit the Holy Land. From the time she was a preteen, she has loved fiction books about Bible characters. She lives in Cleveland, Ohio, and ventures out to give talks on Scripture, even as far away as Dubai.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. R. Hartley's best-known catch to date is the public imagination. Here are his elusive fishing recollections told in a series of sometimes vividly comic chronological cameos, ranging period and location from York school days in the early 1930s through memorable outings on stream, spate river and loch to startling conclusion half a lifetime later on a Scottish summer night. Complimented by his protege Patrick Benson's evocative illustrations and with his anglers expertise lightly threaded throughout, J. R.'s story will touch every fly fisherman's experience. But it is book too that will appeal to everyone even those who have never held a rod, for the engaging point that emerges of the ultimate reluctant hero.

Download or read book Beauty Of Elementary Mathematics The And How To Teach It written by Ron Aharoni and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is 2 times 3 equal to 3 times 2? One may think this is an axiom, but it has a proof, and a beautiful one at that. Elementary mathematics is as deep and as beautiful as higher mathematics. It includes some of the most important mathematical discoveries ever, for example the concept of the number, and the place-value method of representing numbers. We are so accustomed to this method, that we forget how clever and beautiful it is — resulting in its incredible efficacy.All this was a surprise for the author, a university professor of mathematics, when he went to teach in elementary school. He realized that good teaching of elementary mathematics requires understanding its fine points and conveying their beauty to the students. Sensing the beauty and understanding go hand in hand.The book outlines the material from kindergarten to grade 6 (with an excursion into algebra as well). It also discusses teaching principles, and their close relatives — thinking principles. Teachers and parents who imbue these principles are likely to convey the love of mathematics to the child.

Download or read book The Fisherman written by John Langan and published by Canelo. This book was released on 2023-10-09 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Illusory, frightening, and deeply moving, The Fisherman is a modern horror epic. And it’s simply a must read’ Paul Tremblay In upstate New York, within the woods, Dutchman’s Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked and fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other’s company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumours of the Creek and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss them. Soon, though, the men find themselves drawn into a tale as deep and old as the Reservoir. It's a tale of dark pacts, of long-buried secrets, and of a mysterious figure known as the Fisherman. It will bring Abe and Dan face to face with all that they have lost, and with the price they must pay to regain it. ‘An epic, yet intimate, horror novel. Langan channels M. R. James, Robert E. Howard and Norman Maclean. What you get is A River Runs Through It... straight to hell’ Laird Barron More praise for The Fisherman ‘Reading this, your mouth fills with worms. Just let them wriggle and crawl as they will, though—don’t swallow. John Langan is fishing for your sleep, for your soul. I fear he’s already got mine’ Stephen Graham Jones ‘What starts as a slow, melancholy tale gains momentum and drops you head first into a churning nightmare from which you might escape, but you’ll never forget, and the memory of what you saw will change you forever’ Richard Kadrey ‘The Fisherman is a treasure, the kind of book you just want to snuggle up and shiver through. I can’t say enough good things about the confidence, the patience, the satisfying cumulative power of this book. It was a pleasure to read from the first page to the last’ Victor LaValle ‘Stories within stories, folk tales becoming modern legends, all spinning into a fisherman’s tale about the one he wishes had gotten away. Langan’s latest is at turns epic and personal, dense yet compulsively readable, frightening but endearing’ Adam Cesare
