Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who has gone up to heaven and come down? ... What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know! (Proverbs 30:4) The most pervasive question in this life is how do we optimally access the next one? The world is full of voices and opinions concerning this issue, but Scripture presents only one solution. Ever since the fall in the Garden, mankind has attempted to reach Heaven, but the perfect path connecting Heaven and Earth consists of none other than Jesus, the Son of God. The Way Up Came Down explores how, because of man's inability to reach Heaven, God in His own unique ability brought Heaven down in the form of His Son. Ultimately, Jesus is the way up.

Download or read book Playing Changes written by Nate Chinen and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of jazz’s leading critics gives us an invigorating, richly detailed portrait of the artists and events that have shaped the music of our time. Grounded in authority and brimming with style, Playing Changes is the first book to take the measure of this exhilarating moment: it is a compelling argument for the resiliency of the art form and a rejoinder to any claims about its calcification or demise. “Playing changes,” in jazz parlance, has long referred to an improviser’s resourceful path through a chord progression. Playing Changes boldly expands on the idea, highlighting a host of significant changes—ideological, technological, theoretical, and practical—that jazz musicians have learned to navigate since the turn of the century. Nate Chinen, who has chronicled this evolution firsthand throughout his journalistic career, vividly sets the backdrop, charting the origins of jazz historicism and the rise of an institutional framework for the music. He traces the influence of commercialized jazz education and reflects on the implications of a globalized jazz ecology. He unpacks the synergies between jazz and postmillennial hip-hop and R&B, illuminating an emergent rhythm signature for the music. And he shows how a new generation of shape-shifting elders, including Wayne Shorter and Henry Threadgill, have moved the aesthetic center of the music. Woven throughout the book is a vibrant cast of characters—from the saxophonists Steve Coleman and Kamasi Washington to the pianists Jason Moran and Vijay Iyer to the bassist and singer Esperanza Spalding—who have exerted an important influence on the scene. This is an adaptive new music for a complex new reality, and Playing Changes is the definitive guide.
Download or read book All the Way Up written by C. Stephen Haerd Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take your front row seat as Steve Heard looks back at his "life lived all the way up," and shares seven decades of adventures and real-life accounts involving some of history's most influential decision-makers through one of the most rapidlychanging times in American history. Steve's story begins before his own birth, chronicling his family's roots, particularly his great-great-great grandfather, Colonel Stephen Heard. A soldier and a politician, Steve's namesake fought with George Washington in the French and Indian Wars and the Revolutionary War before becoming the first governor of Georgia. Steve's own account opens with his upbringing in Westwood, Massachusetts, his private education at Milton Academy in the 1950s, and his years of sports, friends, and academics at Harvard. Shortly after receiving his degree, Steve was quickly commissioned in the United States Air Force and served three years as an intelligence officer in Spain. While living on the civilian economy and making local connections, he participated in some of the Cold War's most challenging episodes, a number of which are still largely classified today. At the close of his eventful three-year tour, Steve became only the third American to fight bulls in Spain as a licensed matador, earning him a framed picture in one of Barcelona's oldest and best known restaurants, Los Caracoles, among some of Spain's most well-known, historical matadors. After his return to the United States in the 1960s, Steve attended Stanford Law School while working as a Santa Clara Deputy Sheriff. Steve then began five successful, eventful decades of practicing international law in several law firms--two of which he started. He investigated and litigated international transborder transactions, including smuggling and financial matters, cases that took him to the farthest reach of Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. All The Way Up also reveals Steve's philanthropic side, serving 20 years on the Board of the New York City Fresh Air Fund, the last 13 of which he was president. He also served several terms on Stanford Law School's Board of Visitors. Steve now enjoys his retirement with his wife, Susan, in Seabrook, South Carolina. Borrowing a line from Teddy Roosevelt, Steve's lifelong friend and Charleston neighbor, John Winthrop, likes to say, "Steve Heard is truly a classic 'man in the arena.'"

Here, a woman obsessed with punctuality makes a fateful decision . . .

'Unnerving bedtime stories, subtle, proficient, hair-raising and done to a turn.' (San Francisco Chronicle ) This story is also available as a Penguin digital audio download read by Stephanie Beacham. Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults.

Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.
