Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Burning the Midnight Oil, word-wrangler extraordinaire Phil Cousineau has gathered an eclectic and electric collection of soulful poems and prose from great thinkers throughout the ages. Whether beguiling readers with glorious poetry or consoling them with prayers from fellow restless souls, Cousineau can relieve any insomniac's unease. From St. John of the Cross to Annie Dillard, Beethoven to The Song of Songs, this refreshingly insightful anthology soothes and inspires all who struggle through the dark of the night. These "night thoughts" vividly illustrate Alfred North Whitehead's liberating description of "what we do without solitude" and also evoke Henry David Thoreau's reverie, "Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake." The night writers in Cousineau's vesperal collection range from saints, poets, and shamans to astronomers and naturalists, and tells of ancient tales and shining passages from the most brilliant (albeit insomniac) writers of today. These poetic ponderances sing of the falling darkness, revel in dream-time, convey the ache of melancholy, conspire against sleeplessness, vanquish loneliness, contemplate the night sky, rhapsodize on love, and languorously greet the first rays of dawn. Notable night owls include Rabandranath Tagore, Mary Oliver, Manley Hopkins, Jorge Borges and William Blake.

Book excerpt: Anyone who saw a Midnight Oil show remembers it. As a poster for a show in Montreal (where one writer described them as the most important band in the world) said: Theyre not punk, theyre not pop, theyre not kidding. By the mid-1980s, music fans in Australia knew they had the best band in the world. They also knew that the very essence of that band, their loudly trumpeted Australian identity that permeated every note of their music, was the very thing that would ensure the rest of the world would never understand them. They were wrong. More than a dozen US and Canadian tours, nearly as many European tours, and tours of South America and South Africa are testament to this. And lets not forget the Top 10 albums and singles, and some of the most glowing live reviews ever written. Grab a large, strong drink, sit or stand in a stable place with something to hang on to, and discover how the world found the power and the passion.

Download or read book Burning the Midnight Oil written by Andon Manaj and published by Andon Manaj. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a young writer, Mr. Manaj took up to filling several journals during his childhood. Unfortunately, all of them demised on a fiery death. Just like every writer in their begining days, the author could not deem any of his works as something that was good enough for publication. But then, 2017 came around and the author salvaged only one of his works. What was resting in his nightstand drawer with the stupendous title of SSDD (titled as a clear tribute to one of the greatest horror genre authors of this day), became Burning the Midnight Oil. Thought to be only a test publication for the author so he could test the waters of the self-publishing world, it was the key that set the wheels in motion for the author to write the upcoming sci-fi novel The Beast Within. Filled up with memories from his childhood, the author provides us with a clear picture of him being brought up in Albania. Hs adventures, whether they were joyful or painful. Within the book you will also find a deep contrast of the Albanian ways, totally different than the portraying of the albanians (as gangsters and mafiosos that kill and destroy other mafia empires) by Hollywood.

Download or read book Clips And Quips For Midnight Oil Sermons And Last Minute Sunday School Lessons written by Douglas B. Bailey and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing sermons and preparing Sunday school lessons can be a very frustrating experience when you just can't seem to find the appropriate words, images, and expressions to add zest to an otherwise humdrum presentation. Douglas Bailey's collection of "verbal clip art" -- metaphors, figures of speech, visual images, and other word gimmicks -- is sure to liven up any discussion. Organized in an outline format (making it easy to locate material suited for various topics and themes), Clips And Quips is a veritable "toolchest" of items guaranteed to jumpstart the imagination and stimulate creative writing. This is a helpful resource to enable people who seek to communicate the Christian gospel to do so with freshness and vitality. Bailey uses specific images and metaphors -- from plainclothes people to runaway trucks to bucket brigades -- to make vivid the nature and power of God in ordinary human experience. Harry B. Adams Professor of Pastoral Theology Yale Divinity School Clips And Quips For Midnight Oil Sermons And Last-Minute Sunday School Lessons challenges preachers and teachers to reach for faith language that is grounded in the timeless message of God's love but is as timely as Monday morning's newspaper. This resource is a catalyst, not a crutch. It evokes word power by showing how biblical metaphor leaps from narrative history to our biography and alerts us to scripture's connection with our lives today. Doug Bailey offers us a simple entrance to a grand theater of wordcraft that demonstrates how God's truth can set us free. Thomas E. Dipko Executive Vice President United Church Board for Homeland Ministries If you thrill to the turn of a well-crafted phrase, become excited over the use of fresh metaphors, and are engaged by open, imaginative use of language in exploration of the mystery of God, you will want to read Clips And Quips For Midnight Oil Sermons And Last-Minute Sunday School Lessons. Dr. Bailey offers the spiritual community a unique language resource that may be utilized not only in the development and writing of sermons, but also in a variety of ways to create education and communication materials. As "clip art for the soul," the word pictures in this book spark the reader's imagination far beyond the written page. Sandra Goode Bricker Executive Director and Campus Minister, United Christian Center Ohio State University An ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, Douglas B. Bailey is a graduate of the University of Michigan (B.A.), Yale Divinity School (B.D., S.T.M.), and the University of Wisconsin (Ph.D.).

Download or read book Apocalypse Thoughts written by Kendra Griffin and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-25 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventeen-year-old Kella O'Malley is living through the apocalypse. Maybe. She's definitely running from feral cannibals. When a pandemic begins mutating humans into killers during her spring break in Georgia, Kella joins with a group of teens and twenty-somethings to carry precious CDC data north on the Appalachian Trail. With no cell phones and no clue how far the mutation spreads, their only hope is to stay ahead of the "Hyenas" and hike faster than the world can end. If Buffy the Vampire Slayer had to save the world without superpowers, it would look a lot like this. But even while suffering from epic caffeine withdrawal, Kella is determined to protect her younger brother, keep them both from being eaten alive, and maybe even fall in love before the world definitely ends. "The end times are not what you were expecting," Kella writes in the shelter logbook along the way. "Be prepared for a lot of stomach growling. And a serious lack of condiments." "Also, take note: Cities overrun by feral human cannibals do not make for great spring break destinations. But on the bright side, it's very unlikely now that boredom is what will kill you." "Falling in love is terrifying. It ranks somewhere between murder hornets and being eaten alive by Hyenas." Apocalypse Thoughts is a young adult novel about possible love, possible zombies, and a definite shortage of coffee during the end times.

Download or read book The 100 Best Australian Albums written by John O'Donnell and published by Hardie Grant Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian music has a proud, colourful and successful history. In 2008, Australian rock and roll turned 50. This book names the best Australian albums of the last 50 years. It places each album in order (from 1 u 100) and discusses why each album deserves its place. It tells the story behind the making of the album, where the album fits in the artist's career and the album's impact on the local and world stage etc. The entries will feature new interviews with the artists and the producers/managers involved in the recording and the release of the album. It wouldn't be a good list if it didn't polarise people and we hope that this list will. We also hope that it will get people sitting around comparing their favourites and discovering or re-discovering these great albums and others. With 70 years of loving and writing about Australian music between us, we shamelessly believe we've earned the right to write this book. And we think we've got it right. Let the debate begin.o u John O'Donnell, April 2010 Finally, here is a much-needed list of argument-starting top 100 seminal/ influential/essential Australian albums of all time. Let the fight begin!
